"This is madness! What can you have been thinking? You are the Slayer! Lives depend upon you! I make allowances for your youth, but I expect a certain amount of responsibility, instead of which, you enslave yourself to this, this...cult!" -Giles
"I told you, I'm trying out for the cheerleading squad!" -Buffy

"I train with my mom, three hours in the morning, three at night." -Amy
"Hmm, that much quality time with my mom would probably lead to some quality matricide." -Buffy

"So, we have no idea what caused this. That's a comfort." -Xander
"But that's the thrill of living on the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of, of fiends and devils and...and ghouls to engage! (recovering himself) Pardon me for finding the glass half full!" -Giles

"I need to get the skinny on Amber. Find out if she's had any colorful episodes before." -Buffy
"That means hacking illegally into the school's computer system! At last, something I can do!" -Willow

"Pretty much like we're goin' out!" -Xander, about Buffy
"Except without the hugging or kissing...or her knowing about it." -Willow

"Mom, I've accepted that you've had sex. I am not ready to know that you had Farrah hair!" -Buffy
"This is Gidget hair. Don't they teach you anything in history?" -Joyce, showing Buffy her yearbook

"Cordelia, you haven't been mean to me all day. Is it something I've done? (to Willow) Okay, see how she has no clue that I'm even a mammal, much less a human being?"
-Xander

"I gotta be a man and ask her out. Y'know, I gotta stop giving her ID bracelets, subtle innuendoes, taking Polaroids outside of her bedroom window late at night...that last part is a joke to relieve the tension because here she comes..." -Xander

"Why should someone want to harm Cordelia?" -Giles
"Maybe because they met her?" -Willow

"'Witches: Historic Roots to Modern Practice.' Checked out by Alexander Harris." -Willow, reading library records
"'The Pagan Rites', checked out by Alexander..." -Buffy, reading the same
"All right, all right, it's not what you think." -Xander
"You like to look at the semi-nude engravings?" -Willow
"Oh, well...I guess it is what you think." -Xander

"Hey, I'm really sorry you guys got bumped back to alternate. (Her face brightens) Hold it, wait...no I'm not!" -Cordelia, referring to the cheerleading squad
"Well, I know that I'll miss the intellectual thrill of spelling out words with my arms." -Amy

"Yeah! You're the Slayer, and we're, like, the Slayerettes!" -Willow
"I just don't like putting you guys in danger." -Buffy
"Oh, hah! I laugh in the face of danger! Then I hide until it goes away." -Xander
