The things we do for love. Love has nothing to do with this. Maybe not, but I'll tell you this: People want the dream. What they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive. Well, I guess that makes it official. Hell, even the school librarian sees more action than me. You ever think that the world is a giant game of musical chairs, and the music's stopped and we're the only ones who don't have a chair? I just wanted to thank you for saving my life. What you did in there was really brave and heroic, and I just wanted to tell you if there was anything that I could ever do to Wondering why we never get dates.
Yeah, so why do you think that is? This weekend, the night of St. Vigeous, our power shall be at its peak. When I kill her, it'll be the greatest event since the crucifixion. And I should know. If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion actually was there, it would've been like Woodstock. I oughta rip your throat out. I was actually at Woodstock.
That was a weird gig. I fed off a flower person, and then I spent the next six hours watching my hand move You're that Anointed guy. I read about you. You've got Slayer problems. That's a bad piece of luck. Do you know what I find works real good with Slayers? Yeah, I did a couple Slayers in my time. I don't like to brag I love to brag! We were at the Bronze before. Thought you said you might show. You said you weren't sure if you were going. I was being cool. C'mon, you've been dating for, what, like, two hundred years? You don't know what a girl means when she says maybe she'll show?
Two centuries of dating. If you only had two a year, that's still like dates with different I taught you to always guard your perimeter. I'm surrounded by idiots. What's new with you? Come up against this slayer yet? Not too bright, though. Gave her the puppy dog "I'm all tortured" act. Keeps her off my back when I feed. People still fall for that Anne Rice routine?
You think you can fool me?! You were my sire, man! Man, I can't believe this. This isn't a spectator sport! Do we really need weapons for this? I just like them, they make me feel all manly. The last Slayer I killed - she begged for her life. You don't strike me as the begging kind. You shouldn't have come here. I've messed up your doilies and stuff. But I just got so bored! I'll tell you what. As a personal favor from me to you, I'll make it quick. It won't hurt a bit. It's gonna hurt a lot. Inca Mummy Girl [2. You have responsibilities that other girls do not.
I know this one! Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah biddy blah, I'm so stuffy, give me a scone. It's as if you know me. What does a girl have to do to impress you? Well, it involves a feather boa and the theme to A Summer Place. I can't discuss it here. You're too picky, man. Do you know how many girls you could have?
You're lead guitar, Oz. You're just impressed by any pretty girl that can walk and talk. She doesn't have to talk. You are always thinking of others before yourself. You remind me of someone from very long ago. They told her that she was the only one. That only she could defend her people from the nether world. Out of all the girls in her generation Do you know the story? She was sixteen, like us. She was offered as a sacrifice and went to her death. Who knows what she had to give up to fulfill her duty to others? Okay, I have something to tell you.
And it's kind of a secret, and it's, um, a little bit scary. And I want you to go to with me the dance. Well, because you never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if Then you are very courageous. I just, present company excluded, I have the worst taste in women of anyone in the world, ever. At least not to begin with, and I-I do think she cared about you. Yeah, but I think that whole sucking the life out of people thing would have been a strain on the relationship.
She was just a girl, and she had her life taken away from her. I remember how I felt when I heard the prophecy that I was gonna die. I wasn't exactly obsessed with doing the right thing. Yeah, but you did. You gave up your life. I had you to bring me back. I knew this was gonna happen. What do you think is happening? You're 16 years old, I'm I've done the math. You don't know what you're doing.
You don't know what you want. Oh, no, I, I think I do. I want out of this conversation. Listen, if we date, you and I both know one thing's going to lead to another. One thing already has led to another. You think it's a little late to be reading me a warning label? I'm just trying to protect you. This could get out of control. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? When I kiss you, you don't wake up from a deep sleep and live happily ever after. When you kiss me I want to die. I'm not gonna say it. You lied to Giles. Like a corn dog. Like you don't have a sick mother, but you'd rather go to a frat party where there's gonna be drinking and older guys and probably an orgy.
Since when do they have orgies, and why aren't I on the mailing list? Angel barely says two words to me. Don't you hate that? And when he does, he treats me like I'm a child. You know, at least Tom can carry on a conversation. Oh, Buffy, I don't think so. You know what I'm sayin'? She lied to me? Because you gave her the brush-off! And I know she's the Chosen One, but you're killing her with the pressure! I mean, she's sixteen going on forty!
I mean, you're gonna live forever! You don't have time for a cup of coffee?? I told one lie, I had one drink. Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words "let that be a lesson" are a tad redundant at this juncture. It's too bad we can't sneak a look at the Watcher Diaries and read up on Angel. I'm sure it's full of fun facts to know and tell. That stuff is private. Also Giles keeps them in his office. In his personal files. Most importantly, it would be wrong. Angel's a vampire, I thought you knew.
Oh, he's a vampire! But the cuddly kind, like a Care Bear with fangs. You know what I think? I just think you're trying to scare me off 'cause you're afraid of the competition. Look, Buffy, you may be hot stuff when it comes to demonology or whatever, but when it comes to dating, I'm the Slayer. You're never gonna get noticed if you keep hiding! You're missing the whole point of Halloween. It's "come as you aren't " night!
The perfect chance for a girl to get sexy and wild, with no repercussions. Oh, I don't get wild. Wild on me equals spaz. Do you love my insides? The parts you can't see? Eyeballs to entrails, my sweet. Just little old 20th-century me. I don't get it, Buffy. Why'd you think I'd like you better dressed that way? I just wanted to be a real girl for once. The kind of fancy girl you liked when you were my age. I hated the girls back then. They were just incredibly dull. Simpering morons, the lot of them. I always wished I could meet someone Still, I had a really hard day.
You should probably tell me. Lie to Me [2. I just don't see why everyone's always picking on Marie Antoinette. I can so relate to her. She worked really hard to look that good, and people just don't appreciate that kind of effort. And I know the peasants were all depressed I think you mean oppressed. So they're like, "Let's lose some heads. And Marie-Antoinette cared about them. She was gonna let them have cake!
If I say something you really don't want to hear, do you promise not to bite me? Are you going to tell me that I'm jealous? Well, you do sometimes get that way. You know, I never used to. Things used to be pretty simple. A hundred years, just hanging out, feeling guilty I really honed my brooding skills.
Then she comes along. Yeah, I get jealous. But I know people. And my gut tells me this is a wrong guy. He left no paper trail. I'm going to have to go with Deadboy on this one. Could ya not call me that? Do you love me? I don't know if I trust you. Maybe you shouldn't do either. Maybe I'm the one who should decide! I did a lot of unconscionable things when I became a vampire. Drusilla was the worst. She was pure, and sweet, and chaste. And you made her a vampire. First I made her insane. Killed everybody she loved. Visited every mental torture on her I could devise.
She eventually fled to a convent, and on the day she took her holy orders, I turned her into a demon. I asked for the truth. I believe that's called growing up. Then I'd like to stop, okay? I know the feeling. Does it ever get easy? Does it get easy? What do you want me to say? Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day.
No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after. The Dark Age [2. Giles lived for school. He's actually still bitter that there are only twelve grades. He probably sat in math class thinking, "There should be more math. This could be mathier. Um, a medical transport is delivering the monthly supply of blood to the hospital. Well we can't run. Eyghon will find us. This mark's like a homing beacon. I'm not much into running. One of us is. If you think of it karmically this is, this is really big for your soul. You know, taking my place with the demon. Giving, so that others may live.
I'm gonna kill you. Will that blow the whole karma thing? I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'm so used to you being a grownup, and then I find out that you're a person. What's My Line, Part One [2. So, mark "none of the above". Well, there are no boxes for "none of the above". That would introduce too many variables into their mushroom head, number-crunching little world. What, and suck all the spontaneity out of being young and stupid?
I'd rather live in the dark. You're not gonna be young forever. Yes, but I'll always be stupid. He looks around] Let's not all rush to disagree. I wish we could be regular kids. I'll never be a kid. Okay, then a regular kid and her cradle-robbing, creature-of-the-night boyfriend. The Order of Taraka. I mean, isn't that overkill? No, I think it's just enough kill. I can't even believe you. You dragged me out of bed for a ride? What am I, mass transportation? That's what a lot of the guys say, but it's just locker room talk.
I wouldn't pay it any mind. Oh, great, so now I'm your taxi and your punching bag. I like to think of you more as my witless foil, but have it your way. What's My Line, Part Two [2. I'd rather be worm food than look at your pathetic face! I'm not stopping you! I bet you wouldn't. I bet you'd let a girl go off to her doom all by herself! Not just any girl. I can't believe that I'm stuck spending what will probably be my last few moments on Earth here with you! I hope these are my last few moments. Three more seconds with you and I'm gonna We so need to get out of here!
There's a Slayer handbook? How come I don't have a handbook? Is there a T-shirt, too? After meeting you, Buffy, I realized that, uh, the handbook would be of no use in your case. Well, what do you mean it would be of no use in my case? Wha- what's wrong with my case? And those two, they also know you are the Slayer? Did anyone explain to you what "secret identity" means? Must be in the handbook. Right after the chapter on personality removal. It's your lucky day, Spike. Oh, hey, animal cracker? You can still play guitar okay? Not well, but not worse. You know, I never really thanked you.
I don't do thanks. I get all red and I have to bail. Well then forget-that thing. Especially the part where I kind of owe you my life. And he has a little hat. The monkey is the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen So I'm wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sort of ripped? Like, is the hippo going, "hey man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity. All monkeys are French. You didn't know that? And you're loving playing nursemaid? So, is it better than playing naughty stewardess?
Yes, that's why one slays them. I mean, people are perfectly happy getting along, and then vampires come, and they run around and they kill people, and they take over your whole house, they start making these stupid little mini-pizzas, and everyone's like, "I like your mini pizzas", but I'm telling you, I am— Giles: I believe the subtext here is rapidly becoming, uh So Mom's like, "Do you think Ted will like this?
So, you gonna talk about something else at some point? I just have so much to deal with, I don't need some new guy in my life. No, but maybe your mom does. Well, sure, if you're gonna use wisdom. Loneliness is about the scariest thing there is. Okay, so my mom needs a guy in her life. Does it have to be Ted? Do you have somebody else in mind? There's a guy out there that would satisfy you? 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? Finally, something I wanna do! What kind of a monster is he? Oh, Will, you're supposed to use your powers for good! I just wanna learn stuff. Like how to build your own serial killer? Uh, it's so hard to rent one nowadays. An outfit that you may never buy. But I looked good in it. You looked like a streetwalker. But a thin streetwalker.
You're just too young to wear that. Yeah, and I'm gonna be too young to wear it until I'm too old to wear it. Whitmore notice I was tardy? I think the word you're searching for is absent. And yes, he did notice, so he wanted me to give you this. As far as punishments go, this is fairly abstract.
No, it's your baby! Okay, I get it even less. You know it's the whole sex leads to responsibility thing, which I personally don't get. You gotta take care of the egg, it's a baby. You gotta keep it safe and teach it Christian values. My egg is Jewish. Then teach it that dreidel song. Hey, maybe you can have Angel help you find the Gorches. Yes, yes, that's not a bad idea. I see a lotta hunting getting done in that scenario. Like Angel and I are just helpless slaves to passion. Which is another secret to conscientious egg care.
A pot of scalding water and about eight minutes. You boiled your young? I suppose there is a sort of Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression. Or possibly thank you. A little of both might be appropriate. So you don't think about the future? You really don't care what happens a year from now?
Five years from now? Angel, when I look into the future, all I see is you! All I want is you. Still, not every dream you have comes true. I mean, what else did you dream last night? I dreamt that Giles and I opened an office supply warehouse in Vegas. You see my point? Oh, I don't know, though. He is a senior. You think he's too old 'cause he's a senior?
My boyfriend had a bicentennial. You can't spend the rest of your life waiting for Xander to wake up and smell the hottie. Do the talking thing. Well, what if the talking thing becomes the awkward-silence thing? I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night. And I'm kinda nervous about it, actually. Well, if it helps at all, I'm gonna say "yes.
Do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night? Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable. It's just, it's Buffy's birthday, and we're throwing her a surprise party. But you could come! Well, I don't want to crash. You could be my Hey, did everybody see that guy just turn to dust? Vampires are real, a lot of 'em live in Sunnydale, Willow will fill you in. I know it's hard to accept at first. Actually, it explains a lot. Now say pretty please. Apparently, you're not familiar with the concept. There is no instead, only firsts and seconds. And if you go first, you don't get to watch the Slayer die.
Well, you know, it kinda itches a little. Don't just stand there. Gee, maybe he's broken. What the hell is going on? There's no humanity in him. I couldn't have said it better myself. No more of this 'I've got a soul' crap? What can I say, hmm? I was going through a phase. You've really got a yen to hurt this girl, haven't you?
She made me feel like a human being. That's not the kind of thing you just forgive. Well, not knew it in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know. You two were fighting way too much. I know it's weird It's against all laws of God and Man! The, the 'We Hate Cordelia Club', of which you are the treasurer. Look, I was gonna tell you. Gee, what stopped you?
Could it be shame? All right, let's over-react, shall we? We were just kissing. It doesn't mean that much. It just means you'd rather be with someone you hate, than be with me. But you didn't say anything. Like I really wanted to stick around after that. You got a lot to learn about men, kiddo. Although I guess you proved that last night. What are you saying? Let's not make an issue out of it, okay?
In fact, let's not talk about it at all. I, I don't understand. Was I not good? I thought you were a pro. Now, I know you haven't been in the game for a while, mate, but we still do kill people. Spike, my boy, you really don't get it, do you? You tried to kill her, but you couldn't.
She's stronger than any Slayer you've ever faced. Force won't get it done. You gotta work from the inside. To kill this girl I suppose you know that. He'll come after you, particularly. You must be so disappointed in me. No no, I'm not. This is all my fault. I don't believe it is.
Do you want me to wag my finger at you and tell you that you acted rashly? I know that you loved him. You couldn't have known what would happen. The coming months are, are going to be hard, I suspect on all of us. But if it's guilt you're looking for, Buffy, I'm not your man. All you will get from me is my support. We have a lot of fun, but I want smoochies! Have you dropped any hints? Well, he'll come around. What guy could resist your wily Willow charms? All of them, maybe more. Well, none of them know a thing! They all get an "F" in Willow. But I want Oz to get an "A," and, oh, one of those gold stars!
But I would do a lot better if you and Xander and I could do that "sharing our misery" thing tonight. I'll give Xander a call. Thanks, I haven't gotten a "Meow" before. And it, uh, acts on-on pure instinct. No conscience, uh, uh, predatory and-and aggressive. In other words, your typical male. On behalf of my gender, hey! Yes, let's not jump to any conclusions. I took a tiny step, and there conclusions were. I think it goes something like, they grow body hair, they lose all ability to tell you what they really want. Well, I like you. You're nice, and you're funny, and you don't smoke.
Yeah, okay, werewolf , but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around either. You are quite the human. So I'd still, if you'd still. A werewolf in love. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered [2. I wish dating was like slaying. You know, simple, direct, stake to the heart, no muss, no fuss. Sorry to say, Xand, slaying is a tad more perilous than dating.
Well, you're obviously not dating Cordelia. I'm still trying to decide the best way to send my regards. Why don't you rip her lungs out? It might make an impression. It doesn't have to. What rhymes with lungs? Don't be so jumpy I've been in your bed before.
Yeah, but Will, we were both in footy pajamas. Buff, for the love of God, don't open that raincoat. Aren't you gonna open your present? It's not that I don't want to. Sometimes the remote impossible possibility that you might like me was all that sustained me. This isn't real to you, you're only here because of a spell. I mean, if I thought you had one clue what it would mean to me, but you don't, so I can't.
You make me feel this way, and then you reject me? What am I, a toy? Buffy, please calm down. I'll calm down when you explain yourself! Get away from him. Oh, I don't think so. He doesn't have to say. I know what his heart wants. Funny, I know what your face wants. Goddess Hecate , work thy will Before thee let the unclean thing crawl!
I'm not a sheep. All you ever do is what everyone else does just so you can say you did it first. And here I am, scrambling for your approval, when I'm way cooler than you are 'cause I'm not a sheep. I do what I wanna do, and I wear what I wanna wear. And you know what? No matter how lame he is. It lies in all of us. It speaks to us Passion rules us all.
What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd truly be dead. I invited him in my car once. That means he can come into my car whenever he wants! Yep, you're doomed to havin' to give him and his vamp pals a lift whenever they feel like it.
He reappeared again in season three, casting a spell on the chocolate bars the high school band was selling to raise money to revert adults back to their teenage mental state.
His presence always made for the fun-loving, one off episodes that boosted the mood during yet another apocalypse. Few henchmen in the world of Buffy tend to stick around past one episode, but there are a few exceptions. Trick is one of them, who originally starts off as ancient vampire Kakistos's right hand man and then turns around and does the same for Mayor Wilkins following Kakistos's demise.
And we all know that Faith ended up dusting Mr. Trick so she could basically assume his position alongside the Mayor, thus beginning her downward spiral into darkness. We have a few great episodes thanks to Mr. Trick's performance, particularly "Homecoming", in which we see a group of villains hunt down Buffy and a mistaken-for-Faith Cordelia during "SlayerFest ' Season four was an experimental time for the series as the main characters transitioned from teenage high-schoolers to young adults. This season found Willow, Buffy and Oz all going to Sunnydale University, while Xander worked multiple odd jobs and began a serious relationship with Anya.
Buffy starts a relationship with Riley, a secret government operative for an underground group of demon hunters called The Initiative because nothing is ever what it seems on Buffy. Adam was the cannibalized pet monster of The Initiative's leader, Dr. Maggie Walsh, and was comprised of various demon body parts as well as cybernetic enhancements.
After killing multiple members of The Initiative, Buffy and the Scoobies perform a spell that combined all of their essences into Buffy's body to defeat the creature. Part of being a hit fantasy show is exploring the alternate realities of the characters. Buffy played with this idea in a variety of ways, one of the standout examples is season three's episode "The Wish," in which the demon Anyanka grants Cordelia's wish that Buffy had never come to Sunnydale and therefore, had not killed the Master at the end of season one. In this alternate reality, the Master takes over the town, turning Xander and Willow into his vampire minions and forcing the human denizens to cower in fear.
We see a glimpse of the type of villain Willow could be on full display, dominatrix-style, with the two Willows eventually coming face to face later in the episode. This includes the classic observation our Willow makes that her vampire self "might be kinda gay. The most famous vampire in pop culture history, the Prince of Darkness, took five seasons to make an appearance on the most famous vampire show in pop culture history. Played with finesse by German actor Rudolf Martin, who had previously worked with Sarah Michelle Gellar during her stint on the daytime soap All My Children , Dracula only stuck around for one episode.
The season premiere featuring Dracula brought to light the growing rift between Buffy and Riley, a romance that self-destructed later that same season. He goes on to impress the gang with his classic powers of hypnotism, turning into a bat and creating fog. Dracula is also the second vampire Buffy has allowed to feed off her willingly along with Angel , reminding us all how susceptible she is to the dark side of her powers.
Following the dark and depressing era of season six, the seventh and final season of Buffy saw a slight return to greatness with a back to basics approach. Facing the return of a previous big bad in the form of The First, the Scooby Gang is also charged with protecting a group of teenage girls who come from the potential slayer line. We see Buffy and the gang train the new Potentials for the final battle against The First, but they also face new threats, like the Turok-Han.
Otherwise known as an uber-vamp, the Turok-Han are basically the vampire version of the Mayor's undiluted demonic form. Stronger than the average slayer, Buffy gets beaten down in her first fight with one of these creatures, but she bounces back in time to behead him in a thunderdome-style face-off.
Of course, there thousands more waiting below the Hellmouth for round two Villains usually don't appear as a couple on Buffy , but season two's Spike and Drusilla were the exception. When they first came to Sunnydale, Spike was looking to take over the vampire underground while nursing a weakened Drusilla back to health. A former nun who was driven crazy by Angelus before turning her into a vampire, Drusilla has always been a little The roles would later reverse, as Spike would get injured during the ceremony to restore Drusilla to full strength with it being a success.
Drusilla used her visions to help Spike and Angelus fight against Buffy, at one point tipping them off that Jenny Calendar was planning on returning Angel's soul and we all know how that turned out. In the finale battle of season two, she would kill Kendra the other vampire slayer and would go on to make appearances in the spin-off, Angel.
By the time season seven rolled around, the exhaustion the cast felt due to the ongoing continuation of the series was blatantly apparent. The First had previously appeared in season three, as a demonic force preying on Angel's guilt and trying to get him to kill himself. While The First mainly worked behind the scenes, being a master manipulator in the game of chess that was the final showdown between good and evil.
As an entity with no corporeal form, Buffy and the Scooby Gang weren't able to physically fight it, but took out all of its minions and, therefore, its power. At least we got to see some of our favorite faces from past seasons thanks to The First. You never forget your first, this is especially true when it comes to vampire warlords who drown you. The Master was the first Big Bad of the show and set the tone for villains to come. Former Angelus concubine Darla and Luke were his minions, one lasting a bit longer than the other. Originally he was trapped under Sunnydale, until he gained enough strength to go above ground.
In the season one finale, we see the prophecy of The Master killing Buffy come to pass, but she's also brought back to life by Xander. After a brief rooftop scuffle, Buffy flips The Master over herself, sending him crashing through the skylight and right onto a jagged piece of broken table. She might be dead, but she's still pretty. The episode was written by Joss Whedon in response to critical commentary that the dialogue was the most exceptional part of the series.
There was also that little jingle that goes along with their appearance, similar to what was used in The Nightmare On Elm Street movies when Freddy Krueger was about to appear. Caleb is serving The First as his lord and savior, gleefully serving up what he thinks is righteous deliverance in his own twisted, misogynistic way to Buffy, the rest of the Scoobies, and the Potentials.
He also is responsible for taking out one of Xander's eyes, after making a comment on his ability to see things, which is a pretty insightful assessment of Xander's intuitive presence. Caleb may have only terrorized Sunnydale for a couple of episodes, but he left more of a permanent mark than nearly every other villain over the course of the series. Mayor Wilkins if probably the most destructive, yet also quite possibly the most likable, villain of the series.
Along with his germaphobia and bad dad jokes, he makes an endearing Big Bad to say the least. The juxtaposition of him being an evil entity and his paternal love for rogue slayer Faith is a fascinating character study in the complex existence of both empathy and lack of compassion for everybody else. Mayor Wilkins also turned out to be the biggest Big Bad, being the only time we ever see a demon in its true, undiluted form.
