Episode Quotes
 
(after seeing Xander's fake ID)
Willow: I don't believe this is entirely on the up and up.
Xander: What gives it away?
Willow: Looking at it.
 
Willow: I'm pregnant by my step-brother who'd rather be with my best friend and who's left me with no place to live, no food, except for this bottle of Wild Turkey, which I drank all up.
 
Giles: I can't believe you served Buffy that beer.
Xander: I didn't know it was evil.
Giles: You knew it was beer.
Xander: Well, excuse me Mister 'I spent the sixties in an Electric Kool-Aid Satan Groove'.
Giles: It was the early seventies and you should know better.
 
Willow: Just how gullible do you think I am? I mean, with your gentle eyes and your shy smile and your ability to talk openly only to me. You're unbelievable!
Parker: What?
Willow: This isn't sharing. This isn't connecting. It's the pleasure principle. That's right. I got your number, id boy. Only thing you're thinking about is how long before you can jump on my bones.
Parker: Look, if you think that I'm --
Willow: I mean, you men. It's all about the sex! Find a woman, drag her to your den. Do whatever's necessary just as long as you get the sex. I tell you, men haven't changed since the dawn of time.
(cavemen burst in towing girls)
Willow: See?
 
Xander: Giles, don't make cave-Slayer unhappy.
 
Xander: And was there a lesson in all this, huh? What did we learn about beer?
Buffy: Foamy.
Xander: Good. Just as long as that's clear.
 
Xander: Anyways, I think that the boys in the car are contained for the time being. This will give them some time to ponder the geopolitical ramifications of being mean to me!
Giles: Uh, whose van is that?
Xander: I don't know. Wasn't locked.
 
Parker: Buffy. Buffy, I dunno how to say this. I'm sorry for how I treated you before. It was wrong of me and... I'm sorry. You were great tonight, really. I may not deserve this, but... do you think that you could forgive me?
(Buffy wacks him with a club, knocking him out)
