Buffy Summers quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Well, the Hellmouth, the center of mystical convergence, supernatural monsters: been there.

Buffy

Little blasé there, aren't you?

I'm not worried. If there's something bad out there we'll find, you'll slay, we'll party!

Buffy

Thanks for having confidence in me.

You da man, Buff!

Buffy

Glad you showed up. You see, I'm having a really bad day.

UMUgly Man

Lucky 19.

Buffy

Scary. I'll tell you something, though. There are a lot of scarier thing than you. And I'm one of them.

'Have a nice summer', 'Have a nice summer'. This girl had no friends at all.

Once again I teeter at the precipice of the generational gap.

Buffy

'Have a nice summer' is what you write when you have nothing to say.

It's the kiss of death.

So, are you saying she's invisible because she's so unpopular?

Buffy

That about sums it up.

Bummer for her. It's awful to feel that lonely.

Buffy

Hmm. So you've read something about the feeling?

Hey! You think I'm never lonely because I'm so cute and popular? I can be surrounded by people and be completely alone. It's not like any of them really know me. I don't even know if they like me half the time. People just want to be in a popular zone. Sometimes when I talk, everyone's so busy agreeing with me, they don't hear a word I say.

Buffy

Well, if you feel so alone, then why do you work so hard at being popular?

Well, it beats being alone all by yourself.

Buffy

(about the prophecy in which she will die) So that's it, huh? I remember the drill. One slayer dies, the next one's called. I wonder who she is. Will you train her? Or will they send someone else?

Buffy... I...

Buffy

[wimpering] Does it say how he's gonna kill me? Do you think it'll hurt? [as Angel steps close to her] Don't touch me! Were you even gonna tell me?

I was hoping I wouldn't have to, that there was some way around it. I...

Buffy

I've got a way around it. I quit.

It's not that simple.

Buffy

I'm making it that simple. I quit. I resign, I-I'm fired, you can find someone else to stop The Master from taking over.

I'm not sure that anyone else can. All the... the signs indicate...

Buffy

[enraged, throwing books at Giles] The signs?! Read me the signs! Tell me my fortune! You're so useful sitting here with all of your books! You're really a lot of help!

I don't suppose I am

I know this is hard.

Buffy

What do you know about this? You're never gonna die

You think I want anything to happen to you? You think I could stand it? We just gotta figure out a way...

Buffy

I already did. I quit, remember. Pay attention!

Buffy, if the Master rises...

Buffy

I don't care! I don't care. Giles, I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die.

The Master

You're dead.

Buffy

I may be dead, but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you.

The Master

You were destined to die! It was written!

Buffy

What can I say? I flunked the written.

The Master

Where are your jibes now? Will you laugh when my Hell is on Earth?

Buffy

You're that amped about Hell? Go there!

View quote →

The vampires?

Gone.

The Master?

Dead. The Hellmouth is closed. Buffy? Buffy?

Buffy

Um, sorry. It's just... been a really weird day.

Yeah. Buffy died and everything.

Wow. Harsh.

I should've known that wouldn't stop you.

Well, what do we do now?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like to get out of this place. I don't like the library very much anymore.

Hey, I hear there's a dance at the Bronze tonight. Could be fun.

Yeah.

Buffy?

Buffy

Sure. We saved the world. I say we party. I mean, I got all pretty.

What about him?

Buffy

He's not going anywhere. Loser.

I'm not dancing, though.

We'll see. You can come with us, though.

So, what's the story with the car?

Oh, that was me.

Buffy

I'm really, really hungry.

[laughing]

By the way, I really like your dress.

Buffy

Yeah, yeah. It's a big hit with everyone.

Oh, look, it's the Three Musketeers.

[The others look at each other.]

Buffy

[to Xander] Was that an insult?

Kinda lacked punch.

The Three Musketeers were cool.

I see your point.

I woulda gone with Stooges.

Well, I just meant that you guys always hang out together. So, did you guys fight any demons this summer?

Uh, yes! Our own personal demons.

Uh, such as, as, as lust and, uh, thrift!

Buffy

I would have to go with Stooges also.

Buffy

Xander, did I ever thank you for saving my life?

No.

Buffy

Don't you wish I would?

Buffy. You're really campaigning for bitch-of-the-year, aren't you?

Buffy

As defending champion, you nervous?

[scoffs] I can hold my own. You know, we've never really been close which is good cause I don't really like you that much. But you have been known to save the world on occasion, so I'm going to give you a piece of advice.

Buffy

Which is?

Get over it.

Buffy

Excuse me?

Whatever is causing the Joan Collins 'tude, deal with it. Embrace the pain, spank your inner moppet, whatever, but get over it. 'Cause pretty soon you're not even gonna have the loser friends you've got now.

We need to distract the vampires.

Buffy

Right.

What are you gonna do?

Buffy

I'm gonna kill them all. That oughta distract 'em.

Angel stopped by? Wow, was there... Well, I mean, was it having to do with kissing?

Buffy

Willow, grow up. Not everything is about kissing.

Yeah, some stuff's about groping. It wasn't about groping?

Buffy

Okay, hormones on parade here, it was pure shop talk. Remember vampires? Pointy teeth? They walk by night? Am I ringing a bell?

What did he say?

Buffy

Oh, something's up. Nothing I can't handle.

Oh, hey, did you guys hear that Cibo Matto's gonna be at the Bronze tonight?

Cibo Matto? They're playing?

No, Willow. They're gonna be clog dancing.

Cibo Matto can clog dance? Oh, sarcasm. Right.

We should attend, no?

Oh, look, it's the Three Musketeers.

[The others look at each other.]

Buffy

[to Xander] Was that an insult?

It kind of lacked punch.

The Three Musketeers were cool.

I see your point.

I would've gone with Stooges.

Well, I just meant that you guys always hang out together. So, did you guys fight any demons this summer?

Uh, yes, our own personal demons.

Uh, such as-as-as lust and, um, thrift.

Buffy

I would have to go with Stooges, also.

What are you guys talking about? I'm talking about big, squiggly demons that came from the ground? Remember? Prom night? With all the vampires?

Buffy

Cordelia? Your mouth is open. Sound is coming from it. This is never good.

No, it's... See, we can't mention that stuff in front of other people. Buffy being the Slayer and all.

You haven't been talking about our little adventure all summer, have you?

Are you nuts? You think I would tell people that I spent the whole evening with you? Besides, it was all so creepy. That Master guy and all the screaming? I don't even like to think about it. So... your secret's safe with me.

Buffy

Well, that works out great. You won't tell everyone that I'm a Slayer, and I won't tell anyone you're a moron.

Now, that was a good insult.

A little too good.

What's up with her?

View quote →

What an ordeal. And you know what the worst part is?

Hmm?

It stays with you forever. No matter what they tell you, none of that rust and blood and grime comes out. I mean, you can dry-clean till Judgment Day, you are living with those stains.

Yeah, that's the worst part of being hung upside down by a vampire who wants to slit your throat-- the stains.

I hear you.

Buffy

I don't think I can face them.

Hmm? Of course you can.

Buffy

I can't. What am I supposed to say? "Sorry I almost got your throats slit. What's the homework?"

Punishing yourself like this is pointless.

Buffy

It's entirely pointy. I was a moron. I put my best friends in mortal danger on the second day of school.

What are you gonna do, crawl inside a cave for the rest of your life?

Buffy

Would it have cable?

Buffy, you acted wrongly, I admid that, but believe me, that was hardly the worst mistake you'll ever make. That wasn't quite as comforting as it was meant to be.

Buffy

Well, points for effort. I'll see you.
