Episode Quotes

Season 2 / Episode 11: - Ted

Buffy: So mom's like, 'Do you think Ted will like this?' and 'This is Ted's favorite show,' and 'Ted's teaching me computers,' and 'Ted said the funniest thing,' and I'm like, 'That's really great, Mom,' and then she said I was being sarcastic, which I was, but I'm sorry if I don't wanna talk about Ted all the time.
Angel: [looks up at her] So, you gonna talk about something else at some point?
Buffy: I'm sorry. I just have so much to deal with, I don't need some new guy in my life.
Buffy, Angel: [She's finished wrapping the bandage and Angel hands her a piece of tape]
Angel: No, but maybe your mom does.

Buffy: Well, sure, if you're gonna use wisdom.
Angel: [chuckles] Loneliness is about the scariest thing there is.
Buffy: Okay, so my mom needs a guy in her life. Does it have to be Ted?
Angel: Do you have somebody else in mind? There's a guy out there that would satisfy you?
Buffy: My dad? [Angel looks at her] Yeah, okay, that's not gonna happen. Fine, fine, I'll give Ted a chance. I'll play mini-golf, and I'll smile and curtsy and be the dutiful daughter. Do I have to like him?
Angel: [smiles] Kiss me.
Buffy: [smiles] Finally, something I wanna do!

Season 2 / Episode 11: - Ted

Willow: But I'm sure it wasn't your fault. He started it.
Buffy: Yeah. That defense only works in six-year-old court, Will.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: There's no way Willow could have done a chemical analysis on the cookie Xander was eating just by looking at a few crumbs under a microscope.
CONT: The "stock" exterior shots of the house in Torrance are missing the "1630" address of Buffy's house and have the "1313" address of the actual house visible, while the exterior shots specific to this episode have "1313" removed or obscured and "1630" in place. (This is pervasive through all seven seasons of the series.)

TRIVIA

In the final fight between Buffy and Ted, both actors were ill. Sarah Michelle Gellar had flu and John Ritter was suffering from food poisoning.
John Ritter was the first actor on the show to be billed as a Special Guest Star.
One of Alyson Hannigan's favorite episodes, largely because of the participation of John Ritter.
