Buffy: "You are sitting down."
Willow: "Oh, good for me."
The Master: "My ascension is almost at hand. Pray that, when it comes, I'm in a better mood."
Giles: "Alright. The Slayer hunts vampires, Buffy is a Slayer, don't tell anyone. Well, I think that's all the vampire information you need."
Xander: "They can fly?"
Buffy: "They can drive."
Giles, to Willow: "Well, then help me. I've been researching this Harvest affair. It seems to be some sort of preordained massacre. Rivers of blood, Hell on Earth, quite charmless. I'm a bit fuzzy, however, on the details. It may be that you can wrest some information from that dread machine. ... ... That was a bit, um, British, wasn't it?"
Angel: "They really don't like me."
Buffy, sarcastic: "How could that possibly be?"
Xander: "Well, the part of my brain that would tell me to bring that stuff is still busy telling me not to come down here."
Xander: "I don't like vampires. I'm going to take a stand and say they're not good."
Buffy: "So, Giles! Got anything that can make this day any worse?"
Giles: "How about the end of the world?"
Buffy: "Knew I could count on you."
Luke: "Ladies and Gentlemen! There is no cause for alarm. Actually, there is cause for alarm. It just won't do any good."
Luke: "Tonight is his ascension. Tonight will be history at its end! Yours is a glorious sacrifice! Degradation most holy. What? No volunteers?!"
I love how offended he sounds that no one volunteers.
Buffy: "There's something you forgot about, too. Sunrise! ... It's in about nine hours, moron!"
Buffy: "Well, we averted the Apocalypse. I give us points for that."
