Buffy’s shrink to her parents in “Buffy Has Commitment Issues” or whatever it was called from season 6.

“You wanna go, Glinda? We’ll go.”

Wasn’t that what Buffy said to Xander when they saw Willow dancing at the Bronze (while drunk) after Oz left her in season 4?

Yep! And since you didn’t provide a quote, we’ll put **Otto** ’s in play.

_You wanna go, Glinda? We’ll go._

That’s Cordelia AKA the Dead Beast’s Master, just prior to trading blasts of magical energy with Willow.

(I’ve now seen all the Angel episodes, so I can REALLY rock!!!)

_There will be no Thomas Aquinas at this table._

(Just the setting, since I don’t know the actual name of the character speaking myself…)

One of the college guys in the bar Xander is working at (I don’t remember the name, but it’s not the Bronze, it’s some bar near the college campus) to the rest of the guys at the table and Buffy. In **Beer Bad**.

This one was just on the other day. It’s Willow to Cassie/Tara/The First in **Conversations with Dead People**

“Who put the monkey heads near the Styx water? Do we _want_ to pick exploded monkey out of our hair?”

Thats Anya to nobody in “Out of my mind”

This one has been used a couple of times. Any or all will do,

“Works in theory.”

Here’s one: Angel to Xander (just before Angel drags him out of the window), in **Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered**. Not sure about the other.

“I’m committed. I’m a committee!”

Giles to Buffy at the end of “Innocence,” when Angel loses his soul and first becomes evil after sleeping with Buffy. A touching and beautiful scene that almost made me cry, and made me a Giles fan for life.

“My parents? My parents were great. They tasted just like chicken.”

Angel to the sensitivity training guy, first season of _Angel_. Don’t recall the character name, but he had the “talking stick” that was used during his class.

Buffy to Giles in **Helpless**  
“I’ll tell you what, since you were raised in a hell dimension by a psychopath, and since that happens to be a topic that I know a little something about, we’ll just let that slide.”

Lorne to Connor in … um … _Benediction_. Had to look it up.

“Oh good, they brought us weapons.”

Best/worst episode ever.

Spike to Angel in “A Hole In the World” referring to the armor-wearing demons carrying swords.

the ep is _The Bargaining_, the conversation is between Spike, Giles and Tara.

My quote is: \*\* I am so the netgirl.\*\* This one’s easy but I wanted to start small.

Willow to Angel in **Lie to Me**

“He indicated you might be needing our assistance. We’re to provide you anything you need to help Assface here. Those were his exact words, ma’am.”

Some military officer type guy to Buffy in \*\* The Killer in Me\*\*. (“He” being Riley, and “Assface” being Spike.)

What? I don’t get a good-bye just because I went crazy and tried to rip your throat out while we were having sex?

The only quote I can find similar to this is from the _Checkpoint_ ep. Giles is talking to Travers about the Council’s habit of using up it’s Slayers. Travers talks about the Council’s job of fighting evil. He says: "The Council remains, the Slayers change. " Giles replies:“That’s a very comforting, bloodless way of looking at it, isn’t it?”

Since I’m not sure this answer is correct, I won’t leave a quote of my own.

Since there aren’t any questions in play, and I’d like to keep this thread alive, I’ll put one in play. The Quote is:

“Oh.”

This may be tough but there is a very specific ep I have in mind.
