Buffy Summers : No! You guys are gonna have a prom... the kind of prom that everyone should have... I'm gonna give you all a nice, fun, normal evening if I have to kill every single person on the face of the Earth to do it.
Xander Harris : Yay?
-
Rupert Giles : You did good work tonight, Buffy.
Buffy Summers : And I got a little toy surprise.
Rupert Giles : [chuckles] Yes... I had no idea that children, en masse, could be... gracious.
Buffy Summers : Every now and then, people surprise you.
Rupert Giles : [looking past her] Every now and then.
-
Angel : You deserve more. You deserve something outside of demons and darkness. I mean... you should be with someone who can take you into the light... someone who can make love to you.
Buffy Summers : I don't care about that.
Angel : You will. And-And children.
Buffy Summers : *Children*? Can you say jumping the gun? I kill my goldfish.

Willow Rosenberg : So... that's it?
Buffy Summers : That's it. Assuming we survive this Ascension thing, he's gonna leave town.
Willow Rosenberg : Well, he's a fool. He-he's just a big, dumb, jerk person. If you ask me. And-And he's a-a super-maxi jerk for doing it right before the prom.
Buffy Summers : That's not his fault. He's 243 years old. He doesn't exactly get the prom.
Willow Rosenberg : But, he should. If he...
Buffy Summers : Wil, it's okay. You don't have to make him the bad guy.
Willow Rosenberg : But, that's the best friend's job, vilifying and grousing.
Buffy Summers : Usually, yeah. But he's right. I mean, I think... maybe, in the long run, that he's right.
Willow Rosenberg : Yeah. I think he is. I mean, I tried to hope for the best, but... I'm sorry. Must be horrible.
Buffy Summers : I think horrible is still coming. Right now, it's worse. Right now, I'm just trying to keep from dying.
[starts crying]
Willow Rosenberg : Oh, Buffy.
Buffy Summers : I can't breathe, Wil. I feel like I can't breathe.

Angel : I'm trying to do what's right here, okay? I'm trying to think with my head instead of my heart.
Buffy Summers : Heart? You have a heart? It isn't even beating.
Angel : Don't.
Buffy Summers : Don't what? Don't love you? I'm sorry. You know what? I didn't know that I got a choice in that. I'm never gonna change. I *can't* change... I want my life to be with you.
Angel : I don't.
Buffy Summers : You don't wanna be with me...? I can't believe you're breaking up with me.
-
Buffy Summers : I always say patrol's not complete without a trip to the stinky sewers.
Angel : I'm sure I saw him come down here.
Buffy Summers : Couldn't we just let this be the vamp that got away? We could say he was *this* big.
Angel : What can I say? I need closure.

[last lines]
Buffy Summers : I never thought you'd come.
Angel : It's a big night. I didn't wanna miss it... It's just tonight. It doesn't mean that I...
Buffy Summers : I know... I mean, I understand.
Buffy Summers : Will you dance with me?
-
Angel : The prom?
Buffy Summers : End of high school, rite of passage thingy. Think cotillion with spiked punch and the electric slide.
Angel : Right.
-
Buffy Summers : Great thing about being a Slayer... kicking ass is comfort food.

[first lines]
[wakes up and sees Angel looking at her]
Buffy Summers : What? Do I have funny bed hair or something?
Angel : Or something.
-
Buffy Summers : Angel's leaving me... He's leaving town.
Rupert Giles : Buffy, I'm sorry... I don't really know what to say... Um, I-I understand that, um, this sort of thing requires ice cream of some kind.
Buffy Summers : Ice cream will come... First, I wanna take out Psycho Boy.
