"Never Kill a Boy on the First Date"
Quotes

and then they learn things."

Owen: "I lost my Emily. Dickinson. It's dumb, but I like her around, kind of like a
security blanket."
Buffy: "Oh, I have something like that...well, it's an actual blanket...oh, and I
don't really carry it around anymore. So, Emily Dickens, huh? She's great!"
Owen: "Dickinson."
Buffy: "She's good, also."

the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few days while you take
in dinner and a show."

Giles: "Well, you know what they say. Ninety percent of the vampire slaying
game is waiting."
Buffy: "You couldn't have told me that ninety percent ago?"

Giles: "If your identity as a Slayer is revealed, it could put you and all those
around you in grave danger."
Buffy: "Well, in that case, I won't wear my button that says, "I'm a Slayer, ask
me how."

Xander: "So, you just went home?"
Buffy: "What was I supposed to do? Say to Owen, 'Sorry I was late. I was sitting
in a cemetery with the librarian waiting for a vampire to rise so I could prevent
an evil prophecy from coming to pass'?
Xander: "Or, 'Flat tire'?"

Xander: "Yeah, so it is. It sure is so."

ear flaps will bring out your eyes."

Buffy: "Which one do you think Owen will like better: the red or the peach?"
Xander: "Oh, you mean for kissing you and then telling all his friends how easy
you are so the whole school loses respect for you and then talks behind your
back? The red's fine.

Owen: "No, I'm still here with Buffy."
Cordelia: "You are so good to help the needy."
Buffy: "Cordelia, Owen and I would like to be alone right now, and for that to
happen, you would have to go somewhere that's away.
Cordelia: "Well, when you're ready for the big leagues, let me know."

Cordelia: "Hello, salty goodness!"

Cordelia: "Pick up the phone, call 911. That boy's going to need some serious
oxygen after I'm through with him."

Owen: "So, where do you know Buffy from?"
Angel: "Work."

Owen: "Are we going to see a dead body?"
Buffy: "Possibly several."

Giles: "Buffy, when I said you could slay vampires and have a social life, I didn't
mean at the same time."

Do they usually move?"

Owen: "He tried to bite me! What a sissy!"

Owen: "Does anyone have an aspirin? Or sixty?"

Buffy: "Tonight would be not a workable thing. Did I just say that?"

Giles: "I had very definite plans about my future. I was going to be a fighter
pilot. Or possibly a grocer."
