Quotes 

• Anya : Are they gonna cut the body open?

  Willow Rosenberg : Oh my God! Would you just stop talking? Just... shut your mouth, please!

  Anya : What am I doing?

  Willow Rosenberg : How can you act like that?

  Anya : Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? I mean, is that the helpful thing to do?

  Xander Harris : Guys...

  Willow Rosenberg : The way you behave...

  Anya : Nobody will tell me.

  Willow Rosenberg : Because it's not okay for you to be asking these things!

  Anya : But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens,

  [starts crying] 

  Anya : how we go through this. I mean, I *knew* her, and then she's- There's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. And-And Xander's crying and not talking. And-And I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, "Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, *ever*, and she'll never have eggs or yawn or brush her hair, not ever." And no one will explain to me why.

• Anya : I wish that Joyce didn't die... because she was nice. And now we all hurt.

  Xander Harris : Anya, ever the wordsmith.

  Buffy Summers : Thank you.

• Dawn Summers : Um, guys, hello. Puberty. Sort of figured out the whole no-Santa thing.

  Anya : That's a myth.

  Dawn Summers : Yeah.

  Anya : No, I mean, it-it's a myth *that* it's a myth. There is a Santa Claus.

  Xander Harris : The advantage of having a thousand-year-old girlfriend. Inside scoop.

  Tara Maclay : There's a Santa Claus?

  Anya : Mm-hmm. Been around since, like, the 1500s. But he wasn't always called Santa. But with, you know, Christmas night, flying reindeer, coming down the chimney, all true.

  Dawn Summers : *All* true?

  Anya : Well, he doesn't traditionally bring presents so much as, you know, disembowel children. But otherwise...

  Tara Maclay : The reindeer part was nice.

• Joyce Summers : I think we're just about ready for pie.

  Xander Harris : Then I'll be pretty much ready for barf.

  Buffy Summers : Xander!

  Dawn Summers : Gross.

  Xander Harris : o, no, barf from the eating, 'cause all was good, and too much goodness...

  Joyce Summers : I'm taking it as a compliment.
