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: "No, when you kiss me, I wanna die."
--"Reptile Boy"
"Oh, yeah, you're just friends. You're not friends, you'll never be
friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight and
you'll shag and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver. But
you'll never be friends.
"Love isn't brains, children, it's blood... blood screaming inside you
to work its will.
"I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
-- Spike, 'Lovers Walk'
"I'm gonna do what I should've done in the first place. I'll find her, wherever she is, tie her
up, torture her... until she likes me again."
-- Spike, 'Lovers Walk'
Drusilla:"I'm naming all the stars."
Spike:"You can't see the stars, love. That's the ceiling. Also, it's day."
Drusilla:"I can see them. But I've named them all the same name, and there's terrible confusion."
--"Innocence"
Giles:"What do you want?"
Angelus:"I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time.
I mean, the last time I tortured somebody, they didn't even have chainsaws."
--"The Becoming, Part II"
"We like to talk big, vampires do, 'I'm going to destroy the world.' It's just tough-guy talk. Strut around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth
is, I like this world. They've got dog racing, Manchester United, and you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's
alright here."
--Spike, "The Becoming, Part II"
"You have your way with him, you'll never get to destroy the world, and I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet."
--Spike, "The Becoming, Part II"
Willow: "This is creepy. I don't like the thought that there is a vampire out there that looks like me."
Xander: "Not looks like, is"
Buffy: "It was exactly you, Wil. Every detail. Except for you not being a dominatrix...as far as we know."
Willow: "Oh, right, me and Oz play mistress of pain every night."
Xander: "Did anyone else just go to a scary visual place?"
Buffy: "Oh, yeah."
--"Dopplegangland"
Willow: "It's horrible. That's me as a vampire? I'm so evil, and skanky, and I think I'm kind of gay."
Buffy: "Willow, just remember, a vampire's personality has nothing to do with the person it was."
Angel: "Well, actually...that's a good point."
--"Dopplegangland"
"Passion, it lies in all of us. Sleeping...waiting...and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir...open its jaws, and howl."
"It speaks to us....guides us....Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love...the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief."
"It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead."
--Angel, narrarating "Passion"
"I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out, and I don't sleep
on a bed of bones."
--Buffy, "Dreams"
"You know Buffy -- sweet girl, not that bright."
--Willow, "Chosen"
"So here’s the part where you make a choice. What if you
could have that power… now? In every generation one
Slayer is born because a bunch of men who died thousands
of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men."
(She points at Willow.)
"This woman is more powerful than all of them combined.
So I say we change the rule. I say my power should be our
power."
--Buffy, "Chosen"
