Buffy[edit]

  • Mmm. Wouldn't you guys love me in this?" [holding up a new jacket in front of her]
  • 'Pike' isn't a name. It's a fish.
  • Does Elvis talk to you?
  • What are you doing here? This is a naked place! [when Merrick approaches her in the girls' locker room]
  • All I wanna do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now, that may not sound too exciting to a scone-head like you, but I think it's swell. And then you come along and, and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can throw things at me? I don't THINK so!"
    • Collary: All that's missing is marrying Christian Slater...
  • I just think it sounds cool, you know? Buyer, buying, to buy... [about her future career as a 'Buyer']
  • Great. My secret weapon is PMS.
  • Merrick — you made a joke! Are you okay? I mean, do you wanna lie down? I know it hurts the first time.
  • Three weeks ago, all I thought about was... well, I didn't actually think about anything."
  • I'm the Chosen One, and I choose to be shopping.
  • "Why? Because it isn't in the Book of all Knowledgefulness that I'm going to be cheering at the Riverview game tomorrow? Lighten up, Merrick".

Merrick[edit]

  • You do everything wrong! [Buffy begins to apologize] No....Do it wrong.
  • There's a small village in Hampshire, near Stonehenge..." [notices Buffy's blank look] Near a bunch of big rocks. That's where I was born.
  • All this is a show. And when the music stops, the rest is silence.

Pike[edit]

  • I'm leaving, man, I'm bailing town. This place has gotten way too hairy.
  • I think I'll just hang out here. Make sure the sun comes up and everything.
  • I don't believe this! The world is under attack by legions of the undead, and you're going to a mixer?!?
  • You know, Benny was right? You're all the same. I'm not disappointed, I'm just angry!"
  • Are YOU addressing I?
  • [Buffy is lying on top of him after a large leap] What am I supposed to do, run? These guys are everywhere, and I wanna do some damage. I'm good with damage.
  • [sees Amilyn and Lothos with Buffy] "I know that guy. That is a bad guy. Can we go now? {when Buffy approaches Lothos] "Does anybody here but me have a problem with this?"
  • I crashed your party [Buffy responds, "How shallow."] Yeah well, I'm pretty shallow. Would I get my ass kicked if I asked you to dance?

Lothos[edit]

  • You must forgive Amilyn. He tends to drool before supper.
  • We can't be stopped. This is our world now.
  • What are we? We are man, perfected. We exist to consume.
  • Twelve hundred years old, and you behave like a child! Honestly, I don't know how you made it through the Crusades.

Amilyn[edit]

  • Wanna go for a ride?
  • You ruined my new jacket!" [to henchmen] "Kill him a LOT!" [after his left arm has been torn off]
  • Admit it, Buffy. Don't you sometimes feel... less than fresh?
  • (When Amilyn has one Arm) "We're immortal. We can do anything.
  • Buffy: "Oh yeah? Clap.

Kimberley[edit]

  • "Get out of my facial!"
  • "Buffy, what's your sitch? You're acting like the Thing from Another Tax Bracket".

Andy[edit]

  • [interview after vampire attack]: They had fangs. They were biting people. They had this look in their eyes — totally cold. Animal. I think they were Young Republicans.

Gary Murray[edit]

  • Don't think of me as Gary Murray, administrator. Think of me as Gary Murray — party guy.
  • I have detention slips here, and I'm not afraid to use them! [to horde of vampires attacking the school gym]
  • [after Lothos appears] "That is definitely not a student.
  • [dead vampires, with stakes sticking out of their hearts, litter the gym] "Detention, detention, detention...detention, detention, detention. I think that's all of them; no, wait, detention, detention, detention." [drops detention slips on the bodies]
  • [During the credits] Well, I think the kids learn a lesson about safety, except the dead ones. Well, they learned it, but didn't have time to implement it. Are we live?

The Coach[edit]

  • Now, what do we say on the court? Repeat after me: 'I am a person. I have a right to the ball'.
  • Hey, you missed practice again today. I think you better sit down and think about how that made me feel.
  • Assert your person-hood! Actualize! Actualize!

Others[edit]

  • Benny: Her yabbos scoff at gravity.
  • Biker:Hey, babe, you wanna get some real power between your legs?
  • Benny:Come on, Pike! Join me! Live forever! We can start a band!

Dialogue[edit]

[Buffy's mom bids farewell to Buffy and her boyfriend.]
Buffy's Mom: Bye-bye, Bobby.
Jeffery: Bye! [to Buffy] She thinks my name's Bobby?
Buffy: It's possible she thinks my name's Bobby.

Buffy: I got a C-plus on the test, and he tells me, "You have no sense of history." I have no sense of history? He wears a brown tie!
Nicole: You got a C-plus? I can't believe I cheated off you.
Buffy: Excuse me for not knowing about El Salvador. Like I'm ever going to Spain anyway.

[Buffy and her friends converse loudly in the movie theater.]
Benny: I can't believe these people. We paid money to see this.
Pike: No, we didn't.
Benny: Oh, yeah. But I still wanna know what happens!
Buffy: Everyone gets horribly killed except the blonde girl in the nightie, who finally kills the monster with a machete. But it's not really dead.
Jennifer: Oh, my God, is that true?
Buffy: Probably. What movie is this?
...
[Later: Buffy and her friends bump into the same two guys at a cafe.]
Pike: Hey, wait a minute...
Benny: You're the guys from the movie!
Pike: We hate you guys.
Pike: Would you have sex with them?
Benny: Another shot of this, I'll have sex with you.
Pike: Yeah, but then you'll never call me again.

[Benny, now a vampire, is floating outside Pike's window.]
Benny: Let me in, Pike. I'm hungry.
Pike: You're floating! Get outta here!

[Buffy & friends plan a school dance.]
Nicole: Buff, I don't see why we have to invite every senior.
Buffy: Because it's the senior dance? It's just a shot in the dark.

[Buffy just punched Merrick in the face.]
Buffy: Oh, wow. I, I never hit anybody before.
Merrick: Really? Well, you did it perfectly.
Buffy: I didn't even break a nail.

[Pike is preparing to leave town.]
Pike: Seen Benny lately?
Zeph: No. You want me to give him a message?
Pike: You should think about leaving too, man. Sell this place. There's something going on around here... I don't know, something really weird. [turns to leave]
Zeph: Hey — what do you want me to do if I see Benny?
Pike: Run.

[Merrick analyzes Buffy's first solo slaying.]
Merrick: He was slow. Very simple. They won't all be that easy.
Buffy: Fine.
Merrick: And the alley was a mistake. Never corner yourself like that. If they had come at you in force, you'd be dead now. One vampire is a lot easier to kill than ten.
Buffy: Does the word "duh" mean anything to you?

Merrick: None of the other girls gave me this much trouble.
Buffy: And where are they now? Hel-lo-o!
...
Buffy: I've got something none of the other girls had.
Merrick: And what's that?
Buffy: My keen fashion sense.
Merrick: Oh... vampires of the world, beware.
Buffy:Oh, you made a joke. Do you wanna lie down? I know it hurts the first time

[In the school hallway, one of Jeffery's friends grabs Buffy from behind.]
Andy: Gotta get some!
[Buffy flips him, then jerks him to his feet and pins him against a locker.]
Andy: Whoa, whoa — I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I don't actually need any right now!
Buffy: Don't grab me, okay?
Andy: Absolutely! I now see the error of my mistake.

Merrick: Good Lord. What do you study in History?
Buffy: My nails.

[Pike has just crashed his van fleeing from a group of vampires.]
Buffy: Is this your van?
Pike: [dazed] Yeah...it was. It's... still...
Shambling Vampire: BluaaaaahUGH!

[Buffy arrives at a school dance to find her boyfriend with another girl.]
Jeffery: Didn't you get my message?
Buffy: You broke up with my machine?!
Jeffery: You weren't home. Like always.

[Vampires have surrounded the school gym.]
Buffy: Don't worry. They can't come in here. They can't come in unless they're invited.
Kimberley: I... already invited them.
[Everyone — students and faculty — stares at her.]
Kimberley: They're seniors!

[A vampire ex-student brags to Buffy.]
Buffy: We were friends.
Grueller: Now, I'm a god! [Pike stakes him]
Pike: And now, you're a coat rack.

[Buffy is confronted by the one-armed Amilyn.]
Amilyn: We're immortal, Buffy. We can do anything.
Buffy: Oh, yeah? Clap.

[Buffy faces the vampire lord Lothos.]
Lothos: You and I... are one.
Buffy: One what? Cute couple? I don't think so!
...
[Buffy brandishes a crucifix.]
Lothos: So this is your defense?, Please!, Your puny faith? [he grasps the crucifix; it bursts into flame.]
Buffy: No. My keen fashion sense. [she pulls a can of hair spray out of her purse.]

[After the climactic vampire battle, Buffy tends to the fallen Pike.]
Buffy: Are you all right?
Pike: Well... I can't move my legs.
Buffy: Why?
Pike: Because you're sitting on them.
[Buffy helps up an in pain Pike.]
Pike: Wow, did I do all of that?
Buffy: No.
Pike: (sighing) Did you do all of that?
Buffy: Yeah.

[Buffy and Pike are dancing.]
Pike: You know... you're not like other girls.
Buffy: Yes, I am. [puts her head on his shoulder]

Pike: C'mon, Lefty, you remember what happened the last time you messed with me.
Amilyn: Yeah, I do. [lifts Pike in the air by shirt collar]
Pike: Shit. [as Amilyn throws him across the parking lot]
