Buffy Summers Quotes

	Season 7 / Episode 22: - Chosen Caleb: [as the First] I will overrun this earth. And when my army outnumbers the humans on this earth... the scales will tip, and I will be made flesh. Buffy Summers: Talk on. I'm not afraid of you. Caleb: Then why aren't you asleep in your dead lover's arms? 'Cause he can't help you. Nor Faith. Nor your friends. Certainly not your wanna-slay brigade. None of those girlies will ever know real power unless you're dead. Now, you know the drill. [the First transforms from Caleb into Buffy] Buffy Summers: [as the First] Into every generation, a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world. She alone will have the strength and skill to... There's that word again. What you are. How you'll die... alone. Where's your snappy comeback? Buffy Summers: You're right. Buffy Summers: [as the First] Hmm. Not your best.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Touched Spike: No? Buffy Summers: No. Spike: You mean no as in "eventually"? Buffy Summers: You really have problems with that word, don't you? Spike: You can get them back! Buffy Summers: Can? Maybe. Should? I'm just so tired. Spike: They need you! Buffy Summers: Well, I... Spike: It's bloody chaos over there without you! Buffy Summers: It is? Spike: Yeah! Yeah. It's uh - there's junk. You know, food cartons. Sleeping bags not rolled up. Everyone's very scared and, uh, unkempt. Buffy Summers: Sounds dire. Spike: I didn't see a lot. I came, hit Faith a bunch of times, and left. Buffy Summers: Really? I mean, not that I'm glad, but... Spike: Oh, you say the word and she's a footnote in history. I'll make it look like a painful accident. Buffy Summers: That's my problem. I say the word, some girl dies. Every time.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Touched Caleb: You whore! Buffy Summers: You know, you really should watch your language. Someone didn't know you, they might think you were a woman-hating jerk.
	Season 7 / Episode 17: - Lies My Parents Told Me Buffy Summers: Any apocalypse I avert without dying? Yeah, those are the easy ones.
	Season 7 / Episode 17: - Lies My Parents Told Me Giles: Everything's terrible. Total catastrophe. Buffy Summers: Giles, what's wrong? Giles: Have you seen the new library? There's-there's-there's nothing but computers. There's not a book to be seen.
	Season 7 / Episode 17: - Lies My Parents Told Me Buffy Summers: Spike is the strongest warrior we have. And we are gonna need him if we're gonna come out of this thing alive. If you try anything again, he'll kill you. More importantly, I'll let him.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - Get It Done Spike: And just what brings our good principal to this neck of the gloom? Buffy Summers: I'm showing him our operation. Us. Spike: Fine by me. Big fight against evil comin' up. The more good guys we've got, the longer we'll all live. Principal Robin Wood: Is that what you are? A good guy? Spike: I haven't heard any complaints. Well, I have heard a few complaints over the years, but then I just killed whoever spoke up, and that was pretty much that. Buffy Summers: He's joking. Principal Robin Wood: No, he's not. Spike: No, I'm not.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - Get It Done Dawn Summers: So, I took a look inside that emergency bag of Principal Wood's. Buffy Summers: And? Dawn Summers: Smelled weird. Kinda like Grandma's closet, but worse. Buffy Summers: I didn't know that was possible.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - Get It Done Dawn Summers: Do you know that ancient Sumerians do not speak English? Buffy Summers: They're worse than the French.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - Get It Done Buffy Summers: I'm the Slayer. The one with the power. And the First has me using that power to dig our graves. I've been carrying you - all of you - too far, too long. Ride's over. Kennedy: You're out of line! Willow: No, she's not. Kennedy: You're gonna let her talk to you like that? Willow, she's not even the most powerful one in this room. With you here, she's not close. Buffy Summers: You're new here, and you're wrong. Because I use the power that I have. The rest of you are just waiting for me. Xander: Well, yeah, but only because you kinda told us to. You're our leader, Buffy, as in "follow the." Buffy Summers: Well, from now on, I'm your leader as in "do what I say." Xander: Ja wohl! But let's not try to forget, we're also your friends. Anya: I'm not. Buffy Summers: Then why are you here? Aside from getting rescued, what is it that you do? Anya: I provide much needed... sarcasm. Xander: Um, that'd... kinda be my job, actually.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - Get It Done Willow: It's okay, Buffy. We'll get by. We always do. Buffy Summers: I don't know. They showed me... Willow: Showed you what? Buffy Summers: That the First Slayer was right. It isn't enough. Willow: Why, Buffy? What did you see? What did they show you?
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - Get It Done Buffy Summers: Don't you have any real homework? Dawn Summers: Oh, you mean, like, schoolwork? Buffy Summers: Yes. Dawn Summers: Well, I've got a system. It's called flunking out. No, just kidding. I'm paying someone to do my work. I'm kidding! I love to see your eyeballs change color when you think I'm gonna flunk out of sc...
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - Get It Done Andrew Wells: Where the hell have you been? This funnel cake is kicking my ass. Principal Robin Wood: Yeah, I hear they're tricky. Buffy Summers: Robin Wood, this is Andrew. Principal Robin Wood: It's a pleasure. Buffy Summers: Andrew is our... actually, he's our hostage. Andrew Wells: I like to think of myself more as a [makes quote marks in the air with his mitted hands] "guestage." Principal Robin Wood: So, you - you hold him here against his will? Buffy Summers: Well, he was evil, and people got killed, and-and now he... bakes. I-It's a thing. Principal Robin Wood: Oh. Andrew Wells: Could we try to just keep our secret headquarters a little bit secret? Keep bringing people in, they're gonna see everything. They'll see the big board. Buffy Summers: Andrew, we don't have a big board. Andrew Wells: [fetches a white dry-erase board covered with colorful illustrations] I, uh, made it myself. Principal Robin Wood: Oh, I wouldn't have guessed.
	Season 7 / Episode 9: - Never Leave Me Buffy Summers: How's your guy? Anya: The weasel wants to sing. He just needs a tune. Xander Harris: He's primed. I'll be pumping him in no time. Xander Harris: He'll give us information soon.
	Season 7 / Episode 9: - Never Leave Me Buffy Summers: How did you do it? How'd you get your soul back? Spike: Saw a man about a girl. I went to seek a legend out. Traveled to the other side of the world, made a deal with a demon. Buffy Summers: Just like that? Spike: No, not just like that. There was a price. There were trials, torture, pain and suffering... of sorts. Buffy Summers: Of sorts? Spike: Well, it's all relative, innit? Buffy Summers: Meaning? Spike: Meaning I have come to redefine the words pain and suffering since I fell in love with you. Buffy Summers: How can you say that? Spike: Apparently, I just slaughtered half of Sunnydale, pet. I'm not really worried about being polite any more.
	Season 7 / Episode 9: - Never Leave Me Buffy Summers: [about Spike] He-he mentioned something about a song in the cellar. Uh, and he-he changed there, too - I mean, instantly became another person. Xander Harris: Trigger. Anya: The horse? Xander Harris: No, in his head. It's a trigger. It's a brainwashing term. I-It's how the military makes sleeper agents. They, they brainwash operatives and condition them with a specific trigger, like a song, that makes 'em drastically change at a moment's notice. Willow Rosenberg: Is this left over from your days in the Army? Xander Harris: No, this is left over from every Army movie I've ever seen.
	Season 7 / Episode 9: - Never Leave Me Buffy Summers: This trigger. How do we holster... safety, or... I, I don't know guns. How do we make it stop? Xander Harris: Well, usually the operative completes his task and either blows his head off or steals a submarine.
	Season 7 / Episode 9: - Never Leave Me Buffy Summers: [as The First] To be honest, I'm getting a little tired of subtle. I think it's about time we brought some authority to our presence. Now, Spike, you wanna see what a real vampire looks like?
	Season 7 / Episode 9: - Never Leave Me Buffy Summers: [Talking about Spike] He's been feasting on humans for weeks. He's having some pretty bad withdrawals. I think we need to get him some blood. Willow Rosenberg: Do you want me to kill Anya?
	Season 7 / Episode 9: - Never Leave Me Buffy Summers: It's not your fault. You're not the one doing this. Spike: I already did it. It’s already done. You wanna know what I've done to girls Dawn's age? This is me Buffy. You've got to kill me before I get out. Buffy Summers: We can keep you locked up. Keep you here and we'll figure out... Spike: Have you ever really asked yourself why you can't do it? Off me? After everything I've done to you, to people around you. It's not love. We both know that. Buffy Summers: You fought by my side. You've saved lives, you've helped... Spike: Don't do that. Don't rationalize this into some noble act. 'Cause we both know the truth of it. You like men who hurt you. Buffy Summers: No. Spike: You need the pain we cause you. You need the hate. You need it to do your job, to be the Slayer. Buffy Summers: No. I don't hate like that. Not you, or myself. Not anymore.
	Season 7 / Episode 4: - Help Buffy Summers: Buffy the Vampire Slayer would break down this door. Xander Harris: And Buffy the Counselor? Buffy Summers: Waits.
	Season 7 / Episode 4: - Help Buffy Summers: Do you know how lame this is? Bored teenage boys tryin' to raise up a demon. Sorry it didn't show. I bet it's 'cause you forgot the boom box playing some heavy metal thing, like Blue Clam Cult? I think that's the key to the raising of lame demons.
	Season 7 / Episode 1: - Lessons Buffy Summers: It's about power - who's got it, who knows how to use it.
	Season 7 / Episode 1: - Lessons Buffy Summers: Doesn't mater how well prepped you are or how well armed you are. You're a little girl. Dawn: Woman. Buffy Summers: Little woman. Dawn: I'm taller than you.
	Season 7 / Episode 1: - Lessons Xander Harris: How, exactly, do you make cereal? Buffy Summers: Ah. You put the box near the milk. I saw it on the Food Channel.
	Season 7 / Episode 1: - Lessons Dead Nerd: I think I'd like Dawn to be my girlfriend. Buffy Summers: Again, wrong sister. I'm the one that dates dead guys.
	Season 7 / Episode 1: - Lessons Buffy Summers: Talisman must've been destroyed. Dawn: How'd you know it was a talisman? Buffy Summers: There's always a talisman.
	Season 7 / Episode 1: - Lessons Warren Meers: [as The First] Of course she won't understand, Sparky. I'm beyond her understanding. She's a girl with sugar and spice and everything useless, unless you're baking. I'm more than that. More than flesh... Glory: [as The First] More than blood. I'm- you know, I honestly don't think there's a human word fabulous enough for me. Oh, my name will be on everyone's lips. Assuming their lips haven't been torn off. But not just yet. That's alright, though. Adam: [as The First] I can be patient. Everything is well within parameters. She's exactly where I want her to be. And so are you, Number 17. You're right where you belong. Mayor Richard Wilkins: [as The First] So what'd ya thing? You'd get your soul back and everything'd be Jim-dandy? Soul's slippery than a greased weasel. Why do you think I sold mine? Well, you probably thought that you'd be your own man, and I respect that. Drusilla: [as The First] But you never will. You'll always be mine. You'll always be in the dark with me. Singing our little songs. You like our little songs, don't you? You've always liked them. Right from the beginning. And that's where we're going. The Master: [as The First] Right back to the beginning. Not the bang, not the word, the true beginning. The next few months are going to be quite a ride. And I think we're all going to learn something about ourselves in the process. You'll learn you're a pathetic schmuck, if it hasn't sunk in already. Look at you, trying to do what's right. Just like her. You still don't get it. It's not about right. Not about wrong. Buffy Summers: [as The First] It's about power.
	Season 6 / Episode 22: - Grave (2) Rupert Giles: Buffy, what's happened here? Buffy Summers: God, I don't even know where to start. Rupert Giles: Well, Willow's clearly been abusing the magicks. Buffy Summers: She has. She was, and I barely even noticed. Giles, everything's just been so... Xander left Anya at the altar, and Anya's a vengeance demon again, Dawn's a total klepto, money's been so tight that I've been slinging burgers at the Doublemeat Palace... [glances at the floor] And I've been sleeping with Spike. Rupert Giles: [trying not to laugh] Sorry.
	Season 6 / Episode 21: - Two to Go (1) Buffy Summers: Are we really gonna do this? Willow Rosenberg: Come on, this is a huge deal for me. Six years as a sideman, now I get to be the Slayer. Buffy Summers: A killer isn't a Slayer. Being the Slayer means something you can't conceive of. Willow Rosenberg: Oh, Buffy. You really need to have every square inch of your ass kicked. Buffy Summers: Then show me what you got, and I'll show you what a slayer really is.
