"Primeval"
Quotes



Adam: "I simply activated it, brother."
Riley: "Stop calling me that - I'm not your brother. You're a botched science experiment. I'm a human being, who's gonna do everything in his power to--"
Adam: "Sit."
Riley: (sits)

Adam: "Once you forget your old life, and embrace your destiny as I have, you will know power you've never dreamed of. I think you're going to like it."

Adam: "Demons cling to old ways and ancient feuds. And they're hopeless with technology; unworthy."
Riley: "Not really wanting a lecture right now."

Adam: "You see, we are brothers, after all."
Spike: "Warms the cockles of my non-beating heart, seeing you lads together."

Spike: "I'm much more the 'I did my part, now get this chip out of my head' kind of guy."

Spike: "Slightly stiffer than usual. Subtle, but I like it. What's with him?"
Adam: "I activated his chip."
Spike: "Oh, so it's chips all around, is it? Someone must have bought the party-pack."

Adam: "The witch."
Spike: "Willow. About so high, perky. good with math. Natural choice."
Adam: "Her friend."
Spike: "Right."
Adam: "One of the friends from whom you've so efficiently separated her."
Spike: "Damn right I did. You should've seen 'em. They won't be talking to each other for a long, long-- Hang on. I think I might have detected a small flaw."

Spike: "Okay, let's not quibble about who failed who. The important thing is making sure the Slayer is where we want..."
Adam: "Go."
Spike: "Gone."

Spike: "So, um, we'll do this chip thing when I get back."

Giles: "Pardon the robe, it's a bit of a late start."
Willow: "Right."
Tara: "Hope you're feeling all right, Mr. Giles."
Giles: "Oh, yes, quite well, thank you. Yes, I'll probably have a brisk jog later on."

Giles: "Will you be working here, you know, typing, talking? Because that will be fine."

Anya: "Xander. You said you wanted to check the board at the unemployment office this morning. (lifts blanket) You can't go like that. They won't even interview you if you're naked."

Xander: "Maybe I should join the Army."
Anya: "Don't they make you get up really early in the morning?"
Xander: "Oh, yeah. Never mind."

Anya: "So they all think you're a lost, directionless loser with no plans for the future. Pfft!"
Xander: "Anya, you can't "Pfft!" that stuff away."
Anya: "Why not?"
Xander: "I don't know."

Anya: "You're a good person and a good boyfriend, and... and I'm in love with you."

Adam: "Mother kept her secrets well. Didn't you?"

Adam: "This is all how she planned it. Except she thought she would be alive."

Riley: "Forrest. Oh, god."
Forrest: "God has nothing to do with it."

Spike: "Easy, sheriff. Look where you point that thing."

Spike: "Look at little Nancy Drew."

Willow: "It must be programmed to self-decrypt at a certain point. That is so annoying! It's like somebody blurting out the answer to a riddle just when you've-- I mean, yippee! We have the information."
Tara: "I don't know if 'yippee' is the right response, either. Read that."

Forrest: "Mommy can hear you, but she's still a walking corpse."

Buffy: "Where's Anya?"
Xander: "Oddly, Anya decided not to join us despite the fun we had at our last meeting."

Giles: "Well, uh, Spike can be very convincing when-when-when... I'm very stupid."
Buffy: "That's where it came from, the stuff we said the other night."
Giles: "Of course. Well, piffle, let's move on."
Xander: "I'm moving."
Willow: "Me, too."
Buffy: "Good. Great."

Xander: "He's all dressed up with no one to bite. He's got to get his yayas somehow."

Xander: "Spike's working for Adam?!? After all we've done-- Nah, I can't even act surprised."

Willow: "Oh, I decrypted them? Well, they decrypted themselves, but I almost had it."

Buffy: "He wanted me to know about his evil guy assembly line."

Xander: "Demons versus soldiers. Massacre, massacre."
Willow: "And Adam has a neat pile of body parts to start assembling his army. Diabolical yet.. gross."
Xander: "Does anybody else miss the Mayor 'I just wanna be a big snake'?"

Xander: "He's not worried you might kill, oh, say, him?"
Buffy: "No. He's really not."

Adam: "She's coming. I can feel it."
Spike: "Good on you. Got a hunk of prognosticating demon in there, right?"

Spike: "Now, if you'll just get the chip out of my cranium, I'll be out of your way. And mind the hairline. I don't fancy fussing with a comb-over once I've resumed my killing ways."

Xander: "Great, so we just ask him to lie down quietly while we do some exploratory surgery."

Willow: "What about magic? Some kind of, I don't know, uranium- extracting spell? I know, I'm reaching."

Giles: "Perhaps a paralyzing spell. Only I can't perform the incantation for this."
Willow: "Right. Don't you have to speak it in Sumerian or something?"
Giles: "I do speak Sumerian."

Xander: "See what you get for taking French instead of Sumerian?"
Buffy: "What was I thinking?"

Xander: "So, no problem, all we need is combo-Buffy. Her with Slayer-strength, Giles' multilingual know-how, and Willow's witchy-power. Yeah, don't tell me, I'm just full of helpful suggestions."
Giles: "As a matter of fact, you are."

Willow: "Nervous?"
Xander: "No way. I'm full of that good old kamikazee spirit."
Giles: "Xander, just because this is never going to work, there's no need to be negative."

Buffy: "Game faces, guys. We're going in."

Buffy: "How you doing?"
Willow: "Super. What was I thinking, using stairs all this time?"

Willow: "It's not your fault. Spike stirred up trouble."
Buffy: "Yeah, but I think trouble was stir-upable."

Buffy: "I mean Riley. And... Riley, mostly."

Willow: "Oh, I love you too! Oh, falling now..."

Buffy: "Xander!"
Willow: "Oh, wonderful Xander!"
Buffy: "You know we love you, right?"
Willow: "We totally do."
Xander: "Oh, god, we're gonna die, aren't we?"
Willow: "No, we just missed you."
Xander: "Giles, hurry up! You definitely want to get down here for this!"

Spike: "It's must-see TV. Bait's been taken, trap's all set. Slayer has landed. So, one chiporectomy, please. Hello? Paging Mr. Owe-Me-One."
Adam: "She's not alone. You failed me again."
Spike: "Well, that's one way of looking at it."
Adam: "What's the other way?"
Spike: (runs like a weasel)

Adam: "Yes, I will honor our agreement and remove your chip. (to Forrest) Take his head off."

Colonel: You think you and your friends can just keep waltzing into a government installation, brandishing weapons like... like..."
Willow: "It's a gourd."
Giles: "Magic gourd."
Colonel: What kind of freaks are you people?"

Colonel: Every inch of this installation is under constant, 24-hour surveillance."
Willow: "Including the secret lab?"
Colonel: Everything! (pause) What secret lab?"

Colonel: Incapacitate him with as much voltage as we can muster."
Xander: "Great plan. That's right up there with 'duck and cover.'"
Buffy: "I've seen Adam hit with taser blasts. He feeds on it. And now, you're going to provide him with an all-you-can-eat buffet?"

Colonel: Down here, I'm the one who's in charge." (lights go off)

Adam: "This will be interesting."

Willow: "According to this, there's air ducts and electrical conduits all running into there."
Buffy: "So?"
Willow: "So there's no 'there' there."

Xander: "Demon open house."
Buffy: "Great. So we know we're going to 314. Now all we have to do is get there."

Buffy: "Is this place okay to be magic central?"
Giles: "It should do."
Willow: "As long as we don't get all blowed up or nothin'."
Xander: "What are the odds of that?"

Xander: "Buffy, I still don't like you going alone."
Buffy: "I won't be."

Buffy: "I've never really been one to toe the line."
Adam: "Oh. Kill her."
Forrest: "I thought you'd never ask."

Forrest: "Shut up and watch me kill your girlfriend, Finn. That's an order."

Forrest: "Is that it? Is that all you got?"
Riley: "No. She's got me."

Buffy: "Fun, isn't it?"
Adam: "I do appreciate violence."
Buffy: "Good."

Buffy: "Broke your arm."
Adam: "Got another. I've been upgrading."

Adam: "Interesting. Very... interesting."

Forrest: "What are you making me do this for? Not that I'm not enjoying myself."

Adam: "How can you...?"
Buffy: "You can never hope to grasp the source of our power. But yours is right here."

Spike: "Nasty sort of fellow. Lucky for you blighters I was here, eh?"
Giles: "Yes. Thank you. Although your heroism is slightly muted by the fact that you were helping Adam to start a war that would kill us all."
Xander: "You probably just saved us so we wouldn't stake you right here."
Spike: "Well, yeah. Did it work?"

Spike: "Well, then everything's all right. And we all get to be not staked through the heart. Good work, team!"

Riley: "We still got men out there."
Spike: "Well, let's go save 'em, by gum."

Senator: "The considered opinion of this Council is that the experiment... has failed."

Senator: "And it seems it was only through the actions of a deserter, and a group of civilian insurrectionists, that our losses were not total. I trust the irony of that is not lost on any of us."

Senator: "The Initiative itself will be filled in with concrete. Burn it down, gentlemen. Burn it down, and salt the earth."
