I don't know many quotes from memory. I have a good ear for dialogue, but I usually need some key word or phrase to remind me of the entire conversation.

Speaking of #089 Triangle, here's my selection of quotes:

--------------------

XANDER: I just mean, sometimes I sort of forget that he's gone. It's like, "where's Riley? Oh wait, the Central Republic of Where-in-the-hell."

ANYA: Xander...? If you ever decide to go, I want a warning. You know, big flashing red lights, and... and... and one of those clocks that counts down like a bomb in a movie? And there's a whole bunch of... of colored wires, and I'm not sure which is the right one to cut, but I guess the green one, and then at the last second "No! The red one!" and then click, it stops with three-tenths of a second left, but then you don't leave... Like that, okay?

--------------------------------------------------------

GILES: ...Uh, the resources that the Watchers Council has at their disposal, I mean the Central Library alone is just...

BUFFY: Don't talk about the books again! You get all... and sometimes there's drool.

--------------------------------------------------------

TARA: I'm envious, Mr. Giles. A trip to England sounds so exciting and exotic. [slowly realizing] Un...less... you're English.

--------------------------------------------------------

GILES: Um, Anya, while... while I completely trust you uh... Uh, to take care of the inventory and the money, um... dealing with people requires a certain, uh... finesse.

ANYA: I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom! I can completely lie to the health inspector. I can, you know, distract him with coy smiles, and, and bribe him with money and goods.

XANDER: See there? She'll be great.

--------------------------------------------------------

XANDER: So, how goes the Slaying?

BUFFY: I killed something in a Convent last night.

XANDER: In any other room, a frightening declaration: here, a welcome distraction. Tell us all about the killing, Buff.

BUFFY: Pretty standard. Vampire staking. Ooh! But I met a nun, and she let me try on her wimple.

XANDER: Okay, now we're back to frightening.

--------------------------------------------------------

SPIKE [practicing with a mannequin]: Um ... there's something I got to tell you. About showing you Riley in that place. I didn't mean to... Anyway, I know you're feeling all betrayed... by HIM, not me. I was trying to help, you know. Not like I made him be there, after all. Actually trying to help you... best intentions. I mean, you know, pretty state you'd be in, thinking things are all right while he's toddling halfway round the bend. Oh, I'll insult him if I want to! I'm the one who's on your side! Me! Doing you a favor! And you, being dead petty about it... Me, getting nothing but your hatred and your venom and... You ungrateful bitch! Bitch!

SPIKE: uh, Buffy ... there's something I wanted to tell you.

--------------------------------------------------------

ANYA: ...Giles has only been gone two days and you're already causing trouble. You shouldn't do things while he's gone.

WILLOW: You're the fish!

ANYA: What?

WILLOW: The, the fish in the bowl, in "The Cat in the Hat". He was always saying that the cat shouldn't be there while the mother was out.

ANYA: What are you talking about?

TARA: It's a book. This cat does all this mischief.

WILLOW: It's so cute. He balances a bunch of stuff, including that fish in the bowl! A... And... But don't try it for real when you're six, because then you're not allowed to have fish for five years.

--------------------------------------------------------

WILLOW: Do you wanna screw this up!?

ANYA: No. No. I'm sure you can do that all on your own.

WILLOW: Hey Anya, whatever really has you mad, why don't you just say it, like you do every other thought that stomps through your brain?

--------------------------------------------------------

TARA: I think this one's gonna be kind of fun. Greek Art's gonna touch on so many things -- mythology, history, philosophy...

BUFFY: The professor spit too much when he talked. It was like being at Sea World. "The first five rows will get wet."

--------------------------------------------------------

ANYA: Well, I don't know how to put the [convertible] top up, I only just figured out what the left pedal does. It makes us stop!

WILLOW: You don't know how to drive? Why didn't you say you don't know how to drive?

ANYA: Well, I couldn't know if I could, until I tried, could I?

--------------------------------------------------------

WILLOW: I wish Buffy was here.

BUFFY: I'm here.

WILLOW: I wish I had a million dollars.......... Just checking.

--------------------------------------------------------

OLAF: I did not cheat! Not in my heart. It was only one wench! I, I had had a great deal of mead! Next thing I know, I'm a troll! Oh... oh!... you did this, Anyanka. You will die for this.

XANDER: But... But, you seem to enjoy the... the being a troll.

OLAF: I adjusted...
