Enemies
Angel: "Well."
Buffy: "That was... very... artistic."
Buffy: "Well, from the title, I thought it was about food."
Angel: "Well, there was food..."
Buffy: "Right. Th-the scene with the... food."
Buffy: "So, feel like getting some hot chocolate... or some cold
shower?"
Angel: "It's been a long time since I've been to the movies.
They've changed."
Buffy: "A little scary. And a little not, which is also
scary."
Buffy: "We can't actually do any of those things. You'd lose
your soul, and besides, I don't even own a kimono."
Angel: "Buffy, you don't have to worry about me."
Buffy: "I just don't like to rub your nose in it. Suddenly
wondering where that expression comes from."
Angel: "It feels nice just to feel."
Faith: "Check out the lust bunnies."
Angel: "I'll see you soon."
Faith: "Don't worry, big guy. Just keeping her warm for
ya'."
Faith: "The 'close but no cigar' deal with Angel. I don't know
if I could handle, you know, the way you're not handling it."
Buffy: "Faith, when it comes to Angel, do me a favor... duck!"
Demon: "Think about it. Demon seeks Slayers -- highly
unusual?"
Demon: "Books of Ascension -- very powerful works, and I'm not
talking about the prose."
Buffy: "Not really looking to trade with a demon."
Demon: "And if this were still a barter economy, that would be a
problem. I want cash, princess. Five large for the whole set."
Faith: "So you can buy -- I'm guessing here -- some skin care
products?"
Demon: "So, five G's? What do you say?"
Faith: "I think 'Die, fiend,' sums it up, wouldn't you say?"
Mayor: "And what exactly did this demon look like?"
Faith: "Demonic."
Mayor: "I like good, positive 'up' thoughts. If you failed me
in that way, well, you know, replacing Mr. Trick was chore enough."
Mayor: "There's nothing uncool about healthy teeth and bones."
Giles: "Demons after money. Whatever happened to the
still-beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore."
Buffy: "Well, we have a winner."
Xander: "And more importantly, two losers."
Xander: "Are there any engravings I should know about?
Frolicking nymphs of some kind?"
Buffy: "So Ascension possibly not a love-in."
Cordelia: "I have something important to ask you."
Xander: "Important? Let's start calculating those odds,
people."
Cordelia: "I have a paper to write for English, and you're English,
so I thought... what? Is it so wrong to be getting an insider's
perspective?"
Cordelia: "I study best in a good restaurant... around
eightish? Think it over?"
Xander: "And on the day the words 'flimsy excuse' were redefined, we
stood in awe and watched."
Demon: "You're tough in negotiations, and I respect that."
Demon: "Original editions and everything. Great
condition. Okay, it's a little worn on one spine, some slight foxing, but
otherwise perfect."
Angel: "It's okay."
Faith: "No, it's a couple county lines over from okay, believe
me."
Angel: "Start from the beginning."
Faith: "Mind if I skip past the 'Mom never loved me' part and get
right to it?"
Faith: "I don't wanna' get all twelve-steppy, but remember when you
told me that killing people would make me feel like some kind of god? I
think I just came down to Earth."
Faith: "It's not human, if that's what you're thinking. Not
that that makes me feel any better or this guy any less dead."
Mayor: "I just don't understand what that boy could be
thinking."
Faith: "Try Buffy Summers, like in a big fat one-track way."
Mayor: "So you couldn't give him that one moment of true
happiness."
Faith: "I was thinking more along the lines of a long weekend, but
okay."
Mayor: "There's more than one way to skin a cat, and I happen to
know that's factually true."
Wesley: "Find anything?"
Giles: "A six-course banquet of nothing with a scoop of sod all as a
palette cleanser."
Wesley: "The Council isn't entirely aware that I'm letting you work
for me."
Giles: "..."
Wesley: "Um... with me."
Wesley: "I don't think they'd be very happy at the idea of the two
of us collaborating."
Giles: "Well, I wasn't about to burst into glorious song about it
myself."
Wesley: "Wait for Faith."
Buffy: "That could be hours. The girl makes Godot look
punctual."
Wesley: "Finding him's going to be extremely difficult."
Xander: "Found your demon."
Buffy: "Fashion tip, Wes, mouth looks better closed."
Buffy: "You beat up Willy?"
Xander: "Sure. Well, actually, let's just say I applied some
pressure, or more accurately, that I asked politely, and then-- Okay, I
bribed him."
Buffy: "How much?"
Xander: "Twenty-eight bucks. Does the Council reimburse for
that kind of stuff?"
Giles: "Did you get a receipt?"
Xander: "Damn!"
Buffy: "It's down by the bus station. Not the nicest part of
town."
Giles: "Again, see? No standards. I mean, any
self-respecting demon should be living in a pit of filth or a nice crypt."
Buffy: "I'll remember to mention that."
Xander: "Is it me, or did it just get really cold in here?"
Mayor: "Well, scheduling a man of your talents is quite the chore,
I'll tell you. Between the chanting and the sacrifice, my golf game is
shot."
Mayor: "You're not much a people person, are you?"
Buffy: "Faith would never do that."
Willow: "Faith would totally do that. Faith was built to do
that. She's the 'do that' girl."
Buffy: "Comfort, remember? Comfort here?"
Willow: "I mean, please. Does Angel come up to Faith's
standards for a guy? Let's see, is he breathing?"
Buffy: "Actually, no."
Willow: "Buffy, I, too, know the love of a taciturn man, and you
have to look at their actions."
Buffy: "I was."
Willow: "No. Go. I give you leave to go."
Faith: "Look, I'm not so good at apologies, mostly 'cause I think
the world's out to screw me, so I'm generally more owed than owing."
Angel: "It's good to have the taste of a Slayer back in my
mouth. It's like cigarettes, you know? Just when I thought I'd
quit..."
Angel: "No, really, don't get up."
Faith: "You wanna' be smart, you listen to me."
Angel: "Funny thing about vampires, Faith... We don't
establish meaningful dialogue with Slayers."
Faith: "Not how Buffy tells it."
Angel: "I should've known you'd like it on top."
Faith: "You wanna' listen, or you wanna' die?"
Angel: "Heh heh. As long as you're there, I mostly want you to wriggle...but I'm
listening."
Cordelia: "You have the greatest voice. Have you ever thought
about doing books on tape?"
Xander: "Way to focus, CC."
Buffy: "I'll go home and stock up on weapons. Slip into
something a little more break-and-enterish."
Cordelia: "I'm in Wesley's group."
Giles: "There is just the one group."
Cordelia: "Yes, and I am in it."
Xander: "And I think five's a crowd."
Cordelia: "It really is."
Faith: "So... can I keep him?"
Mayor: "Now, then, Angelus... may I call you Angel?"
Angel: "Well, actually, I'm thinking more along the lines of you
calling me Master."
Mayor: "You know, Angelus, attitude may get you attention, but
courtesy wins respect."
Angel: "Had a soul. Now I'm free."
Mayor: "That's terrific! Poetic, too. Not that I read
much poetry. Except for those little ones in the Reader's Digest.
You know, some are quite catchy."
Angel: "Hey, I don't mean to rush things here, but are you trying to
get to some kind of a point?"
Mayor: "Heh. Kids today. Rush, rush, rush."
Mayor: "I see you're admiring my letter opener."
Angel: "Well, actually, I was thinking of stabbing you through the
heart with it."
Angel: "Hmm. Can't be killed, but you don't like germs."
Mayor: "Ew. Awful things, unsanitary."
Angel: "Well, gee, sir, I thought I'd find that Slayer that's giving
you so much trouble and torture, maim, and kill her."
Mayor: "Fine. You know, it's nice to see you're not one of
those slacker types running around town today."
Mayor: "Torture Buffy. Killing her's fine, just make it a slow
one."
Angel: "My favorite kind."
Mayor: "Uh... try to have her home by eleven."
Mayor: "She's not a little girl anymore." (sniffles)
Xander: "'I love when you talk, Wesley. I love when you sing,
Wesley.' Can you say the words 'jail bait,' Wesley? Limey
bastard."
Angel: "That guy just bugs me."
Joyce: "Please tell me it's not some vampire thing."
Angel: "The only vampire here is me, Joyce."
Buffy: "What's the matter with you?"
Angel: "Nothing. Matter of fact, I haven't felt this good in a
long time."
Angel: "You know, I never properly thanked you for sending me to
Hell."
Buffy: "No..."
Angel: "Yeah, and I'm just wondering, where do I start?
Card? Fruit basket, huh? Evisceration?"
Angel: "Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Maybe there's still
some good deep down inside of me that remembers and loves you, if only you could
reach me. Then again, we have reality."
Buffy: "I will kill you before I let you touch me."
Buffy: "Faith, we need to get out of here, now."
Faith: "Speak for yourself, B. Me? I like it here."
Angel: "One thing I learned about Buffy -- she's so cute when she's
sleeping."
Cordelia: "Hey, I know a way to make investigating the Mayor even
more boring. On second thought, no, I don't."
Willow: "Whoa. Big 'hey, whoa.'"
Willow: "Wow. Like father, like son."
Oz: "How about like exact same guy, like exact same guy?"
Xander: "I, uh, hate to spoil the mood, but this is so much worse
than you think."
Xander: "You know how some people hate to say 'I told you so'?
Not me. I told you so. Angel's back, in the really bad sense.
And, um, I told you so."
Wesley: "Xander, this is terribly serious. Are you sure?"
Xander: "Gee, let me think... kinda' hard to tell. Last thing I
remember is his fist."
Wesley: "We must contact Giles immediately."
Xander: "Good thinkin'. Let's waste time with a lively
debate. Leave Buffy alone, see how dead she gets."
Angel: "You know what I just can't believe? All of our time
together, and we never tried chains."
Faith: "Bondage looks good on you, B. The outfit's all wrong,
but hey..."
Faith: "But Mom was so busy, you know, enjoying the drinking and
passing out parts of life that I never really got what I wanted. Until
now."
Buffy: "Faith, listen to me."
Faith: "Why? So you can impart some special Buffy wisdom?"
Buffy: "You had to tie me up to beat me. There's a word for
people like you, Faith: loser."
Faith: "I'll be sittin' at his right hand. Assuming he has
hands after the transformation. I'm not too clear on that part. And
all your little lame-ass friends are gonna' be Kibbles and Bits."
Faith: "I'm the world's best actor."
Angel: "Second best."
Buffy: "May I say something? Psych."
Giles: "Thank you for coming to me and for that rather effective
light show you put on."
Willow: "His debt to you is repaid? What did you do?"
Giles: "I introduced him to his wife."
Willow: "Graduation Day. There's a big, scary un-fun."
Xander: "I feel so much better knowing that he broke my face in a
'good' way. It's a 'good' bruise."
Mayor: "Well, you win some, you lose some. From where I'm
sitting, it's batting average that counts."
Mayor: "Besides, you know, once the Ascension starts, the 'in crowd'
you're so concerned about? Whoo! They'll be lucky if there's enough
of them left to fill a pothole. I promise."
Mayor: "Still unhappy? Hmm. Okey-doke. I've got two
words that are gonna' make all the pain go away: miniature... golf."
Angel: "I know how hard it was for you."
Buffy: "I really doubt that."
Angel: "You still my girl?"
Buffy: "Always."
