Episode Quotes
 
Anya: Look at him.
Willow: Very... diggy.
Anya: Soon he'll be sweating. I'm imagining having sex with him again.
Buffy: Imaginary Xander is quite the machine.
 
Giles: Always behind on the terms. Still trying not to refer to you lot as "bloody colonials."
 
Giles: This is why I think we should all keep a level head in this.
Willow: And I happen to think that mine is the level head and yours is the one things would roll off of.
 
Xander: Hey, can we come rocketing back to the part about me and my new syphilis.
Anya: It'll make you blind and insane. It won't kill you. The smallpox will.
 
Spike: I'm saying that Spike had a little trip to the vet, and now he doesn't chase the other puppies anymore.
 
Spike: Oh, someone put a stake in me.
Xander: You've got a lot of volunteers in here.
Spike: I just can't take all this mamby pamby boo-hooing about the bloody Indians.
Willow: Uh, the preferred term is...
Spike: You won. All right? You came in and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not going around saying, "I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it." The history of the world isn't people making friends. You had better weapons, and you massacred them. End of story.
 
Spike: How are you gonna fight anyone with that attitude?
Willow: We don't want to fight anyone.
Buffy: I just want to have Thanksgiving
Spike: (laughs) Yeah. Good luck.
Willow: Well, if we could talk to him.
Spike: You exterminated his race! What could you possibly say that would make him feel better? It's kill or be killed here. Take your bloody pick.
Xander: Maybe it's the syphilis talking, but some of that made sense.
 
Buffy: Sure you're up to it?
Spike: Oh, leave that one. He looks like he's ready to drop any minute and I think I can eat someone if he's already dead.
Xander: I'm up to it.
 
Spike: A bear! You made a bear!
Buffy: I didn't mean to.
Spike: Undo it! Undo it!
