Buffy Summers quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy

Are you jealous?

Angel

(laughs a bit) Of Xander? Please. He's just a kid.

Buffy

Is it 'cause I danced with him?

Angel

Danced with is a pretty loose term. Mated with might be a little closer.

Buffy

Don't you think you're being a little unfair? It was one little dance, which I only did to make you crazy, by the way. Behold my success.

Angel

I am not jealous.

Buffy

You're not jealous? What, vampires don't get jealous?

Angel

See? Whenever we fight you always bring up the vampire thing.

Xander

(digging in the grave yard as the girls watch) Y'know, this might go a lot faster if you femmes actually picked up a shovel, too.

Giles

(stopping, almost breathless) Hear, hear.

Buffy

Sorry, but I'm an old fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and the women have the babies.

Xander

So, both coffins are empty. That makes three girls signed up for the army of zombies.

Willow

Is it an army if you just have three?

Buffy

Zombie drill team then.

Buffy

I don't get it. Why would anybody wanna make a girl?

Xander

(bitterly) You mean when there's so many pre-made ones just laying around? The things we do for love.

Buffy

Love has nothing to do with this.

Xander

Maybe not, but I'll tell you this: people don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream. What they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive.

Buffy

Come on, Stephan. Rise and shine. Some of us have a ton of trig homework waiting.

Angel

Hey.

Buffy

[gasps]

Angel

Is this a bad time?

Buffy

Are you crazy? You don't just sneak up on people in a graveyard. You make noise when you walk. You stomp or yodel.

Angel

I heard you were on the hunt.

Buffy

I'm supposed to be, but, lazybones here doesn't want to come out and play.

Angel

When you first wake up, it's a little disorienting. He'll show.

Buffy

It's weird to think of you going through that.

Angel

It's weird to go through. So, uh, you're here alone?

Buffy

Yeah. Why?

Angel

I just though you'd have somebody with you. Xander or someone.

Buffy

Xander.

Angel

Or someone.

Buffy

No. Why? Are you jealous?

Angel

[chuckles] Of Xander? Please. He's just a kid.

Buffy

Is it 'cause I danced with him?

Angel

"Danced with" is a pretty loose term. "Made it with" might be a little closer.

Buffy

Don't you think you're being a little unfair? It was one little dance, which I only did to make you crazy, by the way, behold my success.

Angel

I am not jealous.

Buffy

You're not jealous. What, vampires don't get jealous?

Angel

See? Whenever we fight, you always bring up the vampire thing.

Buffy

Well, I didn't come here to fight. [grunts] Oh, right. I did.

Buffy

Where's my stake? I know I had a stake.

Angel

I didn't see your stake. [grunting]

Buffy

What do you mean, "He's just a kid"? Does that mean I'm just a kid, too?

Angel

Look, obviously I made a mistake coming here tonight.

Buffy

Oh, no, you don't. You can't just turn and walk away from me like that. It takes more than that to get rid of me. [grunts] Oh. Ow.

Angel

You okay?

Buffy

I'm fine. Gee, I wish people wouldn't leave open graves laying around like this.

Angel

So...

Buffy

Oh.

Angel

Another vampire has risen tonight.

Buffy

I don't think so. Look at those tracks. Whoever was buried here didn't rise from this grave. She was dragged from it.

Buffy

God, the whole thing was so creepy. At the same time, I mean, he did do it all for his brother.

Angel

Sounds like he took it a little over the edge.

Buffy

Love makes you do the wacky.

Angel

What?

Buffy

Crazy stuff.

Angel

Oh. Crazy, like a 241-year-old being jealous of a high school junior?

Buffy

Are you 'fessing up?

Angel

I thought about it. Maybe it bothers me a little.

Buffy

I don't love Xander.

Angel

Yeah, but he's in your life. He gets to be there when I can't. Take your classes, eat your meals. Hear your jokes and complaints. He gets to see you in the sunlight.

Buffy

I don't look that good in direct light.

Angel

It'll be morning soon.

Buffy

I should probably go. I could walk you home.

Buffy

We were at the Bronze before. Thought you said you might show.

Angel

You said you weren't sure if you were going.

Buffy

I was being cool. C'mon, you've been dating for, what, like, two hundred years? You don't know what a girl means when she says maybe she'll show?

Willow

Wow. Two centuries of dating. If you only had two a year, that's still like 400 dates with 400 different... [Awkward beat.] Why do they call it a mace?

Spike

[holding a pole] Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of a nice ripe [turns to see Buffy, holding an axe] ...girl.

Buffy

Do we really need weapons for this?

Spike

I just like them, they make me feel all manly.

Spike

The last Slayer I killed - she begged for her life. You don't strike me as the begging kind.

Buffy

You shouldn't have come here.

Spike

No. I've messed up your doilies and stuff. But I just got so bored. I'll tell you what. As a personal favor from me to you, I'll make it quick. It won't hurt a bit.

Buffy

No, Spike. It's gonna hurt a lot.

Giles

You have responsibilities that other girls do not.

Buffy

Oh! I know this one! Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah biddy blah, I'm so stuffy, give me a scone.

Giles

It's as if you know me.

Ampata

You are always thinking of others before yourself. You remind me of someone from very long ago. The Inca Princess.

Buffy

Cool! A princess.

Ampata

They told her that she was the only one. That only she could defend her people from the nether world. Out of all the girls in her generation... she was the only one... chosen. Do you know the story?

Buffy

It's fairly familiar.

Ampata

She was sixteen, like us. She was offered as a sacrifice and went to her death. Who knows what she had to give up to fulfill her duty to others?

Xander

I just, present company excluded, I have the worst taste in women of anyone in the world, ever.

Buffy

Ampata wasn't evil. At least not to begin with, and... I-I do think she cared about you.

Xander

Yeah, but I think that whole sucking the life out of people thing would have been a strain on the relationship.

Buffy

She was gypped. She was just a girl, and she had her life taken away from her. I remember how I felt when I heard the prophecy that I was gonna die. I wasn't exactly obsessed with doing the right thing.

Xander

Yeah, but you did. You gave up your life.

Buffy

I had you to bring me back.

Ampata

Buffy, I do not have any lipstick.

Buffy

Oh, you can borrow one of mine. There should be some on the desk.

Ampata

What is that?

Buffy

The station sent the rest of your stuff.

Ampata

Oh, of-of course. I-I forgot all about it. I will unpack it later.

Buffy

No worries. I can do it.

Ampata

But you must get ready for the dance.

Buffy

I'm not going.

Ampata

Why not?

Buffy

I have work to do, Crime Club work. It's really nothing for you to worry about.

Ampata

Oh, I am not worried, thanks to Xander.

Buffy

He seems very happy around you.

Ampata

I am happy, too. Mmm, this one?

Buffy

Oh, no, that clashes. There should be a gold one in there somewhere.

Ampata

Thank you. You're always thinking of others before yourself. You remind me of someone from very long ago, the Inca Princess.

Buffy

Cool. A princess.

Ampata

They told her that she was the only one, that only she could defend her people from the netherworld. Out of all the girls in her generation, she was the only one--

Buffy

Chosen.

Ampata

You know the story?

Buffy

It's fairly familiar.

Ampata

She was 16, like us. She was offered as a sacrifice and went to her death. Who knows what she had to give up to fulfill her duty to others? What chance at love?

Buffy

Who knows? I'll just unpack the rest of your stuff for you.

Ampata

No, really, let me.

Buffy

Oh! That's Xander and Willow. I'll get it.

Angel

I knew this was gonna happen.

Buffy

What? What do you think is happening?

Angel

You're 16 years old, I'm 241.

Buffy

I've done the math.

Angel

You don't know what you're doing. You don't know what you want.

Buffy

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 going to lead to another.

Buffy

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

Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

Angel

[grabs her roughly] 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 want to die.

Buffy

Well, say it.

Xander

I'm not gonna say it.

Willow

You lied to Giles.

Xander

'Cause she will.

Buffy

I wasn't lying. I was just... protecting him from information that he wouldn't be able to... digest properly.

Xander

Like a corn dog.

Willow

Like you don't have a sick mother, but you'd rather go to a frat party where there's gonna be drinking and older guys and probably an orgy.

Xander

Whoa! Whoa-ho-ho, rewind. Since when do they have orgies, and why aren't I on the mailing list?

Buffy

There's no orgies!

Buffy

Angel barely says two words to me.

Xander

Don't you hate that?

Buffy

And when he does, he treats me like I'm a child.

Xander

That bastard!

Buffy

You know, at least Tom can carry on a conversation.

Xander

Yeah! (pause) Tom? Who's Tom?

Willow

The frat guy.

Xander

Oh, Buffy, I don't think so. Frying pan, fire? You know what I'm sayin'?
