Episode Quotes
 
Xander: Giles lived for school. He's actually still bitter that there are only twelve grades.
 
Giles: Uh, we'll meet outside the hospital at 8:30 sharp. I'll bring the weaponry.
Buffy: I'll bring the party mix!
 
Buffy: Have I ever let you down?
Giles: Do you want me to answer that or should I just glare?
 
Xander: Ooh, gang, did you hear that? A bonus day of class plus Cordelia! Mix in a little rectal surgery, and it's my best day ever!
 
Jenny: Did anyone ever tell you you're kind of a fuddy-duddy?
Giles: Nobody ever seems to tell me anything else.
Jenny: Did anyone ever tell you you're kind of a sexy fuddy-duddy?
Giles: Well, no. Actually that - that part usually gets left out.
 
Angel: Maybe he's late.
Buffy: Giles? Who counts tardiness as, like, the eighth deadly sin?
 
Buffy: Xander, how do you feel about digging through some of Giles' personal files and seeing what you can find?
Xander: I feel pretty good about it. Does that make me a sociopath? Yeah.
 
Xander: That's it! Twelve years of you and I'm snappin'! I don't care if you're a girl or not, I'm throwin' down! Come on!
Cordelia: I've seen you fight. And don't think I can't take you!
 
Giles: Bay City Rollers - now that's music.
Buffy: I didn't hear that.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Although Dieadre's arms and face are grotesque, when she collapses, we see that her legs are inexplicably healthy looking.
