To help us make it until Season Six joins the Quote thread here, I've put together some
Season Five Quotes.
XANDER: Buffy's gone insane.
WILLOW: What? What'd she do?
XANDER: Brace yourself. You're not gonna believe it.
TARA: Everyone, before we jump all over her, people do strange things when someone they love dies. When I lost my mother, I- I did some pretty dumb stuff, like lying to my family and staying out all night.
ANYA: Buffy's boinking Spike.
WILLOW: Oh...! Well, Ta- Tara's right. Grief can be powerful, and we shouldn't judge...
TARA: What are you, kidding? She's nuts!
--------------------------------------------------------
SPIKE: She's upset about her mum. And if she turns to me for comfort, well, I'm not gonna deny it to her. I'm not a monster.
XANDER: Yes. You are a monster. Vampires are monsters. They make monster movies about them.
SPIKE: Well, yeah, you got me there.
--------------------------------------------------------
FIRST SLAYER: You're afraid that being the Slayer means losing your humanity.
BUFFY: Does it?
FIRST SLAYER: You are full of love. You love with all of your soul. It's brighter than the fire... blinding. That's why you pull away from it.
--------------------------------------------------------
GLORY [about Spike]: What the hell is that, and why is his hair that color?
MURK: Stunning one, we believe he is...
MURK AND JINX: The Key!
GLORY: Really? That's fantabulous...! And impossible. He can't be The Key, because, see, The Key... has to be pure. This is a vampire. Lesson number one, vampires equal impure.
SPIKE: Yeah, damn right I'm impure. I'm as impure as the driven yellow snow.
--------------------------------------------------------
XANDER: Buffy, we care about you, and we're worried about you. The way you're acting, the things you're doing...
ANYA: It's wrong.
WILLOW: Wait. This shouldn't be about blame.
BUFFY: Blame? There's blame now?
WILLOW: No, there's only love. And... some fear.
ANYA: Which is kind of thrown by the you-having-sex-with-Spike.
BUFFY: The... Who whating how with huh?!
ANYA: Okay, that's denial. That usually comes before anger.
BUFFY: I am not having sex with Spike!
ANYA: Anger.
XANDER: No one is judging you. It's understandable. Spike is strong and mysterious and sort of compact but well-muscled.
BUFFY: I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.
--------------------------------------------------------
XANDER [about the Buffybot]: Spike must have had her built so he could program her t...
BUFFY: Oh God.
WILLOW: Yikes. Imagine the things...
BUFFY: No...! No... No imagining... any of you.
XANDER: Already got the visual.
--------------------------------------------------------
GLORY: So start talkin'.
SPIKE: Yeah. Okay. The Key. Here's the thing... It's that guy... on TV... What's his name?
GLORY: On the television?
SPIKE: That show... The prize show... where they guess what stuff cost?
MURK: The Price Is Right?
JINX: Oh, Bob Barker!
MURK: We will bring you Bob Barker! We will bring you the limp and beaten body of Bob Bark...
GLORY: It is not Bob Barker, scabby morons! The Key is new to this world... and Bob Barker is as old as grit. The vampire... is lying to me.
SPIKE: Yeah... but it was fun. And guess what, bitch. I'm not telling you Jack. You're never gonna get your sodding key, 'cause you might be strong, but in our world, you're an idiot.
GLORY: I am a God.
SPIKE: The God of What? ...Bad home perms?
GLORY: Shut up! I command you, shut up!
SPIKE: Yeah, okay, sorry, but I just had no idea that Gods were such prancing lightweights. Mark my words, The Slayer... is going to kick your skanky, lopsided ass back to whatever place would take a... cheap, whorish, fashion victim ex-God like you.
--------------------------------------------------------
XANDER: Honey... Old saying. "A watched customer never buys."
ANYA: They would if they were patriotic.
XANDER: Okay, I'm goin' in... Patriotic?
ANYA: Yes. I've recently come to realize there's more to me than just being human. I'm also an American.
GILES: Yes, I suppose you are, in a manner of speaking. You were born here - your mortal self.
ANYA: Well, that's right, Foreigner. So I've been reading a lot about the good ol' U.S. of A, embracing the extraordinarily precious ideology that's helped to shape and define it.
WILLOW: Democracy?
ANYA: Capitalism. The free market depends on the profitable exchange of goods for currency. It's a system of symbiotic beauty apparently lost on these old people. Look at 'em. Perusing the shelves. Undressing the merchandise with their eyeballs... All ogle, no cash. It's not just annoying, it's un-American.
GILES: Appalling. Almost as if they no longer think money can buy happiness.
--------------------------------------------------------
XANDER: Hey, what's up? It's Dawn Giovanni and the Buffster.
--------------------------------------------------------
BUFFY: Well, it's just for now. I mean, I'm thinking that I'm probably gonna go back next semester.
XANDER: And that's cool too. Whatever you choose, you've got my support. Just think of me as... as your... You know, I'm searching for supportive things, and I'm comin' up all bras, so... something slightly more manly, think of me as that.
--------------------------------------------------------
GILES [about Dawn]: You're just going to have to put your foot down with her.
BUFFY: I try. It's just... my foot's not used to being put down. I want you to do it. You can be the foot-putting-downer.
GILES: No, Buffy, I don't think I can.
BUFFY: Please? Pretty please? I mean, your foot is way bigger than mine! And you're so much more a grownup than me. Dawn needs an authority figure - a strong guiding hand. She'll listen to you.
GILES: Just like you always have.
--------------------------------------------------------
WILLOW: ...I'd totally be blowing off classes if I were in Dawnie's shoes.
TARA: Sweetie, you wouldn't blow off a class if your head was on fire.
--------------------------------------------------------
WILLOW: Well, I took Psych 101. I mean, I took it from an evil government scientist, who was skewered by her Frankenstein-like creation before the final, but I know what a Freudian slip is.
--------------------------------------------------------
GILES: I hope this isn't a return. Everyone wants petrified hamsters and they're never happy with them.
--------------------------------------------------------
GLORY: Think about it. You think your hand hurts? Imagine what you'd feel with my fingers wiggling in your brain. It doesn't kill you. What it does... is make you feel like you're in a noisy little dark room... naked and ashamed... and there are things in the dark that need to hurt you because you're bad... little pinching things that go in your ears... and crawl on the inside of your skull. And you know... that if the noise and the crawling would stop... that you could remember how to get out........ But you never, ever will.
--------------------------------------------------------
GILES: There must be something in the Book of Tarnis that we've missed, something we can use against Glory.
ANYA: Piano!
XANDER: Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time...! No wait, that... that was a rocket launcher. Ahn, what are you talking about?
ANYA: We should drop a piano on her... Well, it always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment.
--------------------------------------------------------
ANYA: Anybody else feel that?
WILLOW: What?
ANYA: Cold draft of paralyzing fear.
GILES: We just need to stay calm.
WILLOW: Calm, right.
XANDER: Hey, we gotta be like Sergeant Rock. Cool and collected in the face of overwhelming odds.
ANYA: Over-whelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?
--------------------------------------------------------
SPIKE: Buckle up, kids. Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.
--------------------------------------------------------
ANYA: Shouldn't somebody be asking, "Are we there yet?" Isn't that what small entertaining children do?
DAWN: That kinda only works if you know where you're going.
ANYA: Do we know where we're going yet?
--------------------------------------------------------
DAWN: Hey. I think Anya's gonna try to cook. Wanna come watch the tears and recriminations?
--------------------------------------------------------
BUFFY: I like this. Thanks.
ANYA: Here to help. Wanna live.
XANDER: Smart chicks are so hot.
WILLOW: You couldn't have figured that out in tenth grade?
--------------------------------------------------------
XANDER: Spike's sexbot. Why didn't they just melt it down into scrap?
ANYA: Maybe Willow wanted it.
XANDER: I don't think Willow feels that way about, about Buffy. I mean, I know she's gone through a lot of changes, but...
ANYA: To study it.
XANDER: Right... Robotics... Science...
ANYA: Pervert.
XANDER: Other pervert.
--------------------------------------------------------
WILLOW: Well, I've been charting their essences. Mapping out. I think... If I can get close enough, I may be able to reverse what Glory did. Like, take back what she took from Tara. It might weaken Glory, or... make her less coherent. Or it might make all our heads explode.
--------------------------------------------------------
BUFFY: Okay. I'll grab some weapons too.
XANDER: I'm looking for something in a broadsword.
SPIKE: Don't be swingin' that thing near me.
XANDER: Hey, I happen to be...
SPIKE: A glorified bricklayer?
XANDER: I'm also a swell bowler.
ANYA: Has his own shoes.
SPIKE: The gods themselves do tremble.
--------------------------------------------------------
SPIKE: Well, not exactly the St. Crispin's Day speech, was it?
GILES: We few... We happy few.
SPIKE: We band of buggered.
<The Final Lines of the Speech:
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
