Holden quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Whoa. Did my face just change?

Buffy

Yeah. You look human now. You can do that. Go back and forth.

Holden

Oh, so I'm a vampire. [laughs] How weird is that?

Buffy

Sorry.

Holden

No, no. Feels great. Strong. Like I'm connected to a powerful all consuming evil that's gonna suck the world into a fiery oblivion. How about you?

Buffy

Not so much connected.

Holden

No, no. I mean, with the stake? And the cross? You do this kind of thing a lot?

Buffy

I'm The Slayer. It's sort of a thing.

Holden

So, what? You like fight vampires professionally?

Buffy

Oh, I don't get paid. It's more like a Calling. Since... even in school.

Holden

I heard a lot of rumors about you back then. You were all mysterious.

Buffy

I was?

Holden

Well, you were never around. A lot of kids thought you were dating some really old guy, or that you were just heavy religious. Scott Hope said you were gay.

Buffy

What? I dated that ringworm!

Holden

He says that about every girl he breaks up with. Then, last year, big surprise... he comes out.

Holden

Oh, I have so much to learn. Come on, isn't this insane? I mean, I was afraid to talk to you in high school, and now we're, like, mortal enemies. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we became nemeses?

Buffy

Is that how you say the word?

Holden

We're gonna have to fight to the death, aren't we?

Buffy

It's the time-honored custom.

Holden

Wow, reality just shows up sometimes, doesn't it? But, you know, I've got the bloodlust pumping, and I kinda get it. I'm looking for a fight. And, oh, it's nothing personal.

Buffy

Oh, no, I mean, you've been great.

Holden

Hey, I don't mean to be Count Buttinsky here, but you just don't seem as thrilled. Is it because we're gonna fight?

Buffy

It's because I'm gonna win.

Holden

Hello! Two years of Tae Kwon Do and vampire strength. I think somebody's counting their chickens.

Buffy

You're not leaving this graveyard. Can't let you.

Buffy

If you knew what I've done, what I've let myself become. My best friends don't even know. You'd laugh if you heard some of the things I've done to them.

Holden

Buffy, I'm here to kill you, not to judge you.

Holden

Oh my God!

Buffy

Oh, your God what?

Holden

Oh, well, not my God. Because I defy him and all of his works. Does he exist? Is there word on that by the way?

Buffy

Nothing solid.
