Quotes
-
Buffy : You guys don't have to get involved.
Xander Harris : What do you mean? We're a team. Aren't we a team?
Willow Rosenberg : Yeah. You're the Slayer, and we're, like, the Slayerettes.

[first lines]
Rupert Giles : This is madness. What can you have been thinking. You are the Slayer. Lives depend upon you. I make...
[hands in hair]
Rupert Giles : allowances for you youth, but I expect a certain amount of responsibility, instead of which you enslave yourself to this-this... cult?
Buffy : [in cheerleader outfit with pom poms] You don't like the color?
Rupert Giles : I -
[sighs]
Rupert Giles : Do you ignore everything I say? Is that - Is that the rule?
Buffy : No, I believe that's your trick. I told you, I'm trying out for the cheerleading squad.
Rupert Giles : You have a sacred birthright, Buffy. You were chosen to destroy vampires, not to... wave pompoms at people.
[Buffy just gazes at him]
Rupert Giles : And as The Watcher, I forbid it.
[turns around, goes on his way]
Buffy : And you'll be stopping me *how?*
[purses lips]
Rupert Giles : Well, I... I... By appealing to your common sense, if such a creature exists.
Buffy : I will still have time to fight the forces of evil, okay? I just wanna have a life. I wanna do something normal. Something safe.
-
Buffy : They have cheer-leading coaches?
Amy Madison : Oh, yeah. Don't you have? I train with my mom: 3 hours in the morning, 3 at night.
Buffy : Hmm. That much quality time with my mom would probably lead to some quality matricide.
-
Amy Madison : She and my dad were homecoming king and queen. They got married right after graduation.
Buffy : That's kind of romantic.
Amy Madison : Well, he was a big loser. Never made any money. Ran off with Miss Trailer Trash when I was 12.
Buffy : Okay, that part's less romantic.
-
Rupert Giles : I assume, the, uh... All the spells were reversed. It was my first casting, so, uh... I may have got it wrong.
Buffy : You saved my life. You were a god!
-
Buffy : [re Amy] The test was positive. She's our Sabrina. I just don't think she realizes what she's doing.
Willow Rosenberg : Well, should we talk to her?
Buffy : Maybe we should talk to her mother. I wonder if she knows what she's created?
-
Willow Rosenberg : [At computer, reading book titles] Xander?
Xander Harris : Yuh?
Willow Rosenberg : Witches - Historic Roots to Modern Practice, checked out by Alexander Harris.
Buffy : The Pagan Rites, checked out by...
Xander Harris : Alright, alright, it's not what you think.
Willow Rosenberg : You like to look at the semi-nude engravings?
Xander Harris : Oh, well, I guess it *is* what you think.

Buffy : [returning home, her mother's opening a wooden crate] Hey.
Joyce : Hi. How was school?
Buffy : Mm. Joy. What's all this?
Joyce : It's for the tribal art display.
Buffy : Ooh. We had tryouts today.
Joyce : Oh, great. How did it go?
Buffy : I didn't actually get to try out. There was an accident. Pretty fierce competition, though.
Joyce : I know you'll do fine. Keep up, you'll just have to get back on the horse.
Buffy : Mom...?
Joyce : Yeah?
Buffy : What was the tryout for?
Joyce : Oh, yeah... Some activity?
[shakes her head]
Joyce : I have no idea. I'm sorry.
Buffy : That's okay. Your platitudes are good for all occasions.
Joyce : I'm distracted.
[sighs]
Joyce : Got a lot of inventory to go through here.
[struggles with crate]
Joyce : It's my gallery's first major show. You know, it might not physically kill you to give me a hand here.
Buffy : [rips off the lid like it's made of carton] Oh, it's cheerleading.
Joyce : Oh, good! I'm glad you're taking that up again, it will keep you out of trouble.
Buffy : I'm not *in* trouble.
Joyce : [absentmindedly, busy with crate's contents] No, not yet.
[realizes]
Joyce : I mean, you stopped cheerleading just before the trouble, so it's good you're going back.
[as Buffy opens refrigerator:]
Joyce : Oh, dear...
Buffy : [turns away from fridge] What?
Joyce : A fertility statue. You don't need to see it.
Buffy : You know... there's this girl, Amy, and her, uhm...
Joyce : Uh-uh.
[busy]
Buffy : Sounds like her Mom's pretty in to it.
Joyce : Sounds like her Mom doesn't have a lot to do.
[goes off]
Buffy : [as Joyce's footsteps fade, takes a peek at fertility statue] Jeepers!

Buffy : Spending quality time with my Mom would probably lead to some quality matricide.
