Season 1 quotes

Never kill a boy on the first date

Buffy: "See, this is a school, and we have students, and they check out books, and then they learn things."
Giles: "I was beginning to suspect that was a myth."

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."

Giles: "Oh, Emily Dickinson."
Buffy: "We're both fans?"
Giles: "Yes, she's quite a good poet. I mean, for uh, a..."
Buffy: "A girl?"
Giles: "For an American."

Xander: "So Buffy, how'd the slaying go last night?"
Buffy: "Xander!"
Xander: "I mean, how'd the laying go last night? No, I don't mean that either."

Giles: "I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show."
Buffy: "Okay, at this point you're abusing sarcasm."

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'?"

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.
Buffy: "Thanks. I'll go with the peach."

Giles: "You have a date?"
Buffy: "Yes, but I will return those overdue books by tomorrow."
Giles: "You're not getting off that easily!"
Owen: "Man, you really care about your work!"

Buffy: "If the Apocalypse comes, beep me."

Xander: "He's like Super Librarian. Everyone forgets, Willow, that knowledge is the ultimate weapon."

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."

Owen: "I read a lot about death, but I've never really seen a dead body before. Do they usually move?"
