- [watching Indian Bollywood-type television program]
- Xander Harris: Is she dying?
- Buffy Summers: I think she's singing.
- Xander Harris: To a telephone, in Hindi. Now, that's entertainment. Why is she singing?
- Willow Rosenberg: She's sad because her lover gave her twelve gold coins. But then the wizard cut open the bag of salt, and now the dancing minions have nowhere to put their big Maypole... fish thing.
- Xander Harris: Uh-huh. Why is she singing?
- Buffy Summers: Her lover? I thought that was her chiropractor?
- Willow Rosenberg: Because of that thing he did with her feet? No, that was personal.
- Xander Harris: Hmm, and we thought just because we didn't have any money or any place to go, this would be a lackluster evening.
- [last lines]
- [Angel is walking up to the table from behind Xander]
- Xander Harris: Angel, Angel, Angel. Does every conversation we have have to come around to that freak?
- [Angel reaches Xander's side]
- Xander Harris: Hey, man, how ya doin'?
- Angel: Buffy.
- Buffy Summers: Angel.
- Xander Harris: Xander.
- Angel: I hear this place, uh, serves coffee. I thought maybe you and I should get some... sometime. If you want.
- Buffy Summers: Yeah. Sometime... I'll let you know.
- Rupert Giles: She lied to me?
- Willow Rosenberg: Well...
- Angel: Did... she have a date?
- Willow Rosenberg: Well...
- [Angel huffs]
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, why do you think she went to that party? Because you gave her the brush-off.
- [to Giles]
- Willow Rosenberg: And you never let her do anything except work and patrol. And I know she's the Chosen One, but you're killing her with the pressure. I mean, she's sixteen going on forty!
- [to Angel]
- Willow Rosenberg: And you! I mean, you're gonna live forever. You don't have time for a cup of coffee?
- [pause]
- Willow Rosenberg: Okay... I don't feel better now, and we've gotta help Buffy.
- Angel: I knew this was gonna happen.
- Buffy Summers: What? What do you think is happening?
- Angel: You're 16 years old. I'm 241.
- Buffy Summers: I've done the math.
- Angel: You don't know what you're doing. You don't know what you want.
- Buffy Summers: Oh, no, I-I think I do. I want out of this conversation.
- Angel: Listen. If we date, you and I both know one thing's gonna lead to another.
- Buffy Summers: One thing already has led to another. You think it's a little late to be reading me a warning label?
- Angel: I'm just trying to protect you. This could get out of control.
- Buffy Summers: Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
- [Angel grabs her, pulls her close and she gasps]
- Angel: This isn't some fairy tale. When I kiss you... you don't wake up from a deep sleep and live happily ever after.
- Buffy Summers: No... When you kiss me, I wanna die.
- Buffy Summers: Well, say it.
- Xander Harris: I'm not gonna say it.
- Willow Rosenberg: You lied to Giles.
- Xander Harris: 'Cause she will.
- Willow Rosenberg: You dreamed about Angel again?
- Buffy Summers: Third night in a row.
- Willow Rosenberg: What did he do in your dream?
- Buffy Summers: Stuff.
- Willow Rosenberg: Oh! Stuff. Was it one of those vivid dreams where you could feel his lips and smell his hair?
- Buffy Summers: It had surround sound! I'm just thinking about him so much lately.
- Willow Rosenberg: You two are so right for each other. Except for the, uh...
- Buffy Summers: Vampire thing.
- Xander Harris: And we thought just because we didn't have any money or any place to go, this'd be a lackluster evening.
- Willow Rosenberg: I know, we could go to the Bronze and sneak in our own teabags and ask for hot water.
- Xander Harris: Hop off the outlaw train, Wil, before you land us all in jail.
- Xander Harris: I hate these guys. Whatever they want just falls into their laps. Don't you hate these guys?
- Willow Rosenberg: Yeah. With their charmed lives and their movie-star good looks and more money than you can count... I'm hating.
- Xander Harris: So, Cor, you're datin' college guys, now?
- Cordelia Chase: Well, not that it's any of your business, but I happen to be dating a Delta Zeta Kappa.
- Xander Harris: Oh, an extra-terrestrial. So that's how you get a date after you exhausted all the human guys.
- Buffy Summers: I told one lie. I had one drink.
- Rupert Giles: Yes. And you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words, "let that be a lesson" are a tad redundant at this juncture.
- Xander Harris: I'm goin' to the party.
- Willow Rosenberg: What?
- Xander Harris: I've gotta keep an eye on Buffy. Those frat guys creep me.
- Willow Rosenberg: You wanna protect her?
- Xander Harris: Mm-hmm.
- Willow Rosenberg: And prove you're just as good as those rich, snobby guys?
- Xander Harris: Mm-hmm.
- Willow Rosenberg: And maybe catch an orgy?
- Xander Harris: If it's on early.
- Cordelia Chase: You know what's so cool about college? The diversity. You've got all the rich people and... all of the other people.
- Rupert Giles: I... I drive you too hard because I-I know what you have to face. From now on, no-no more pushing, no more prodding. Just, um... an inordinate amout of nudging.
- Buffy Summers: History stumps me. I have a hard enough time remembering what happened last week.
- Tom Warner: No, nothing happened last week. Don't worry. I was there.
- Cordelia Chase: Come on, Richard and his fraternity brother wanna meet you.
- Buffy Summers: Well, I don't really wanna meet any fraternity boys.
- Cordelia Chase: And if there was a God, don't you think he'd keep it that way?
- Cordelia Chase: [fashion advice to Buffy] Makeup, makeup... Well, give it your best shot, and keep to the shadows.
- [fake enthusiasm:]
- Cordelia Chase: We're gonna have a blast!
- Tom Warner: [to Machida] We come before you with fresh offerings.
- Cordelia Chase: Offerings? He's talking about us?
- Callie Anderson: Do you see anyone else chained up in here?
- Xander Harris: So, Cor, you printing up business cards with your pager number and hours of operation, or just goin' with a halter-top tonight?
