This reminds me of another favorite, from…some season 1 episode. (Did I mention my DVDs are on another continent?)
Xander: So, Buffy, how’d the slaying go last night?
Buffy: Xander!
Xander: I mean, how’d the laying go. No, wait, I don’t mean that either.
Honestly, my favorite line ever, though, is from Band Candy, S. 3:
Snyder: Summers, you drive like a SPAZ.
Cracks me up every single time.
Mal: “Ha! That was bracing. They don’t like it when you shoot at them. I worked that out myself.”
Book: If you take sexual advantage of her, you’re going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
Mal: Ah, the pitter-patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots.
Mal: If anyone tries to kill you, well, you try to kill them right back!
I gotta stay with the tried and true:
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll kill a man in a fair fight.
or if I think he’s gonna start a fair fight.
Or if there’s a woman involved.
Or if I’m getting paid.
Mostly when I’m getting paid. – Jayne
Spike on why he doesn’t want Angel to destroy the world:
I like dog racing and Manchester United. And people, I like people. Billions of you running around like happy meals on legs.
From memory (and I like to think that Jayne would have used a semicolon in the first line):
Jayne: Don’t know these people; don’t much care to.
Mal: They’re whores.
Jayne: I’m in.
And of course the perennial:
Jayne: I’ll be in my bunk
And another favorite Spike moment:
Joyce: Do I know you?
Spike: Yeah, you hit me in the head with an axe, remember, ‘Get the
Hell away from my daughter’.
Joyce: Oh. long pause So, do you live around here?
Also from that episode: “Well I sing.”
Another classic moment, from S3 of Buffy:
Wesley, “Lets synchronize our watches”
Then everyone just shows them their empty wrists… I laughed my ass off.
I loved the episode where Spike and Willow comforted each other. Spike was experiencing vampiric impotence (he couldn’t bite people) and Willow was feeling undesirable because no vampire ever tried to bite her.
Spike: I thought of biting you once…
Willow: You did?
Spike: Mhm. You were wearing that white blowse with the red skirt and had a cameo necklace…
Willow: That’s so sweet!
From Once More With Feeling:
Giles: She needs backup!
and Anya and Tara begin singing backup.
Hush, the drawing scene where Buffy takes umbrage at how wide Giles drew her hips.
I gotta go with Angel ep “Spin The Bottle” After they’ve all had their memory wipes, when Wes’s wrist knife gadgets kinda go crazy. Just some fine slapstick work there.
