S1The Puppet Show

[Buffy, Xander and Willow perform a scene from Oedipus Rex]

O ruler of my country, Oedipus, you see our company around the altar, and I, the Priest of Zeus.

Ha, ha! They prophesize that I should kill my father, but he is dead and hidden deep in the soil. But surely I must fear my mother's bed.

O Oedipus, Oedipus, unhappy Oedipus. That is all I can call you and all that I ever shall call you.

Darkness, and horror of darkness, unfolding, restless visistant sped by an ill wind in haste. Madness and... madness a-and stabbing pain and-and, uh, oh, oh... Memory of, uh, ill deeds I have done.

S1Nightmares

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

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!

Thanks for having confidence in me.

You da man, Buff!

[Xander knocks The Clown unconcious]

You were a lousy clown! Your balloon animals were pathetic! Everyone can make a giraffe!

Our dreams are coming true?

Dreams? That would be a musical comedy version of this. Nightmares, our--our nightmares are coming true.

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

UMUgly Man

Lucky 19.

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

S1Out of Mind, Out of Sight

[The class is discussing 'The Merchant of Venice'.]

MMs. Miller

But has Shylock suffered? What's his place in Venice society?

Well, everyone looked down on him.

That is such a twinkie defense. Shylock should get over himself. People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like this time I sort of ran over this girl on her bike. It was the most traumatizing event of my life, and she's trying to make it about her leg! Like my pain meant nothing.

I've never actually heard of anyone attacked by a lone baseball bat before.

Maybe it's a vampire bat. [everyone stares at him] I'm alone on that one, huh?

Buffy told me you don't feed from humans anymore.

Not for a long while.

Is that why you're here? To see her?

I can't. It's, uh... It's too hard for me to be around her.

A vampire in love with a Slayer. It's rather poetic... in a maudlin sort of way.

'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.

'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?

That about sums it up.

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

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.

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

Well, it beats being alone all by yourself.

S1Prophecy Girl

[practicing to ask Buffy to the Spring Fling dance] Y'know, Buffy, Spring Fling just isn't any dance. It's a time for students to choose, um... a mate and then we can... observe their... mating rituals and tag them before they migrate- just kill me!

[during an earthquake] Yes! Yes! Shake, Earth! This is a sign! We are in the final days! My time has come! Glory! Glory!

[The earthquake stops]

[to Collin] Whaddaya think? 5.1?
