Season 2 quotes

Inca Mummy Girl

Buffy: "I wasn't going to use violence. I don't always use violence. Do I?"
Xander: "The important thing is: you believe that."

Willow: "They could have at least wrapped her in those nice white bandages, like in the movies."

Buffy: "So can I go?"
Giles: "I think not."
Buffy: "How come?"
Giles: "Because you are the Chosen One."
Buffy: "Oh, just this once, I'd like to be the Overlooked One."

Giles: "You have responsibilities that other girls do not."
Buffy: "Oh, I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices--blah blah bity blah--I'm so stuffy. Give me a scone."
Giles: "It's as if you know me."

Buffy: "I thought you were taking Willow."
Xander: "Well, yeah, I'm gonna' take Willow, but I'm not gonna' take Willow in the sense of 'take me'. See, with you, we're three, and everybody's safe.
Without you, we're two."
Buffy: "Ahh, and we enter Dateville: romance, flowers."
Xander: "Lips."
Buffy: "Oh, come on. In all the years you've known Willow, you've never
thought about her lips?"
Xander: "Buffy, I love Willow, and she's my best friend, which makes her not the kind of girl who I think about her lips that much. She's the kind of girl that I'm best friends with."

Willow: "Hey, guys."
Xander: "Willow! Hi! We were just talking about happy things, like the three of us going to the dance together. See? Heh heh heh, happy!"
Willow: "..."
Xander: "Not happy."
Willow: "No. Uh, oh, uh, yes. No. Rodney's missing."

Giles: "It could take me weeks to translate these pictograms. Well, we'll start tonight with--"
Buffy: "Ampata!"
Giles: "I was going to suggest hunting."
Buffy: "No, I'm late. I told my mom I'd pick him up."
Xander: "Uh, Buffy! Where are your priorities? Tracking down a mummifying
killer or making time for some Latin lover whose stock in trade is the breakage of hearts?"

Buffy: "Hey, you know, maybe he could translate the seal."
Xander: "Oh, yeah. Fall for the old let-me-translate-that-ancient-seal-for-you
come-on. Do you know how many times I've used that?"

Buffy: "Forty minutes late. Welcome to America."

Xander: "So, do we have to speak Spanish when we see him? 'Cause I don't know anything much besides 'Doritos' and 'chihuahua'."

Xander: "Aye carumba. I can also say that."

Willow: "So, Ampata, you're a girl."
Ampata: "Yes, for many years now."
Willow: "And not a boy, 'cause we thought a boy was coming, and here you are in a...girl way."
Xander: "It's just one of those crazy mix-ups, Will."

Xander: "Your English is very bueno."
Ampata: "I listen much."
Xander: "Well, that works out well because I talk much."

Giles: "We're trying to translate it, uh, um, as, uh, a project for our, um..."
Willow: "Our archeology club."
Giles: "Very good."

Ampata: "You are strange."
Xander: "Girls always tell me that, right before they run away."
Ampata: "I like it."
Xander: "I like you like it. Please, don't learn from my English."

Willow: "Well, you know, I have a choice. I can spend my life waiting for Xander to go out with every other girl in the world until he notices me, or I can just get on with my life."
Buffy: "Good for you."
Willow: "Well, I didn't choose yet."

Ampata: "Can I tell you a secret?"
Xander: "Yeah."
Ampata: "I like you, too."
Xander: "Really?!"
Ampata: "Really."
Xander: "That's great! Really?!"
Ampata: "Really!"
Xander: "That's great! You're not a preying mantis, are you?"
Ampata: "..."
Xander: "Sorry. Someone else."

Buffy: "What kind of girl travels with a mummified corpse and doesn't even
pack lipstick?"

Xander: "Have you seen Ampata?"
Willow:
Xander: "What was that?"
Willow: "I shrugged."
Xander: "Next time, you should probably say, 'shrug'."
Willow: "Sigh."

Xander: "I just -- present company excluded -- I have the worst taste in women of anyone in the world...ever."
Buffy: "Ampata wasn't evil. At least, not to begin with. And...I do think she cared about you."
Xander: "Yeah, but I think that whole sucking the life out of people thing
would've been a strain on the relationship."

Buffy: "I remember how I felt when I heard the prophecy that I was gonna' die. I wasn't exactly obsessed with doing the right thing."
Xander: "Yeah, but you did. You gave up your life."
Buffy: "I had you to bring me back."
