Anya: I, Anya, want to marry you, Xander, because I love you and I'll always love you. And before I knew you, I was like a completely different person. Not even a person, really. I'd seen what love could do to people and it was hurt and sadness. Alone was better. And then suddenly there was you. And you knew me. You saw me. And it was this... thing. You make me feel safe and warm. So, I get it now. I finally get love, Xander. I really do.

Karen: I'm bored.
Cousin Carol: It's a wedding, honey. We're all bored.

D'Hoffryn: Are you okay?
Anya: I'm tired... of crying. I'm just so tired, D'Hoffryn.
D'Hoffryn: Oh, Anyanka, I'm sorry, but you let him domesticate you. When you were a vengeance demon, you were powerful. At the top of your game, you crushed men like him. It's time you got back to what you do best. Don't you think?
