“Never Kill a Boy on the First Date” quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The Master

[reading from the writing of Aurelius] "There will be a time of crisis, of worlds hanging in the balance. And in this time shall come the Anointed, the Master's great warrior. And the Slayer will not know him, will not stop him. And he will lead her into Hell." As it is written, so shall it be. "Five will die, and from their ashes the Anointed shall rise. The Brethren of Aurelius shall greet him, and usher him to his immortal destiny." As it is written, so shall it be. "And one of the Brethren shall go out hunting the night before and get himself killed, because he couldn't wait to finish his job before he ate." Oh, wait...

The Master

The Master

Buffy

Giles

All right, I-I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Buffy

Okay, at this point you're abusing sarcasm.

Giles

Well, you know what they say; ninety percent of the vampire slaying game is, is waiting.

Buffy

You couldn't have told me that ninety percent ago?

Buffy

If the apocalypse comes, beep me.
