I like the relationship between Buffy and Angel so much better than the relationship between Bella and Edward in the Twilight series. I wonder if Stephanie Meyer watched Buffy. If she did, I wish she would have learned too things: give your main character a backbone, and have some conflict in the relationship, instead of just, "Oh, I love you and I can't live without you." Case in point: Buffy is the slayer. Angel is a vampire. The slayer kills vampires. Major conflict!
Quotes:
Buffy: I was just thinking about things.
Willow: So, we're talking about a guy?
Buffy: Not exactly a guy. For us to have a conversation about a guy there'd have to be a guy for us to have a conversation about. Was that a sentence?
Willow: What about Angel?
Buffy: Angel? I can just see him in a relationship. 'Hi, honey. You're in grave danger. I'll see you next month.'
Angel: Good dogs don't bite.
Angel [after he and Buffy run into Buffy's house, chased by vampires]: It's all right. A vampire can't come in unless it's invited.
Buffy: I've heard that before, but I've never put it to the test.
Willow: How is it you always know this stuff? You always know what's going on. I never know what's going on.
Giles: Well, you weren't here from midnight until six researching it.
Willow: No, I was sleeping.
Buffy : Cool. Crossbow, huh? Check out these babies. Hmm. Goodbye stake, hello flying fatality.
Buffy: You read my diary? That is not OK. A diary is like a person's most private place. I - You don't even know what I was writing about. 'Hunk' can mean a lot of things, bad things. And when it said that your eyes are penetrating, I meant to write 'bulging'.
Angel: Buffy...
Buffy: And 'A' doesn't even stand for Angel for that matter. It stands for Achmed, a charming foreign exchange student. So that whole fantasy part has nothing to even do with you, at all --
Angel: Your mother moved your diary when she came in to straighten up. I watched her from the closet. I didn't read it, I swear.
Buffy: Oh.
Darla [a vampire, to Angel]: You're not exactly living off quiche.
Buffy: 240? Well, he said he was older.
Willow: So, he is a good vampire. I mean, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being someone who's killing and maiming every night, and 1 being someone who's -- not?
Master: Angel. He was the most vicious killer I ever met. I miss him.
Willow: Okay, so let's review. Reconstruction began when? Buffy?
Buffy: Huh? Oh, um, reconstruction. Uh, reconstruction began after the construction, which was shoddy, so they had to reconstruct.
Willow: After the destruction of the Civil War.
Buffy: Right. Civil War. During which Angel was already, like, 100 and change.
Willow: Are we going to talk about boys, or are we going to help you pass history?
Darla [to Joyce, Buffy's Mom]: I was supposed to help her with the war of independence. My family kind of goes back to those days.
Darla: It's very nice of you to invite me into your home.
Joyce: Would you like something to eat?
Darla: Yes, I would.
Joyce: I know she's having trouble with history. Is it too difficult for her or is she not applying herself?
Giles: She lives very much in the now and uh, well, history, of course, is very much about the "then."
Buffy: I've killed a lot of vampires. I've never hated one before.
Angel: The Elders conjured the perfect punishment for me. They restored my soul.
Buffy: What? They were all out of boils and blinding torment?
Darla: Do you know what the saddest thing in the world is?
Buffy: Bad hair on top of that outfit?
Darla [after Buffy shoots her with the crossbow]: Close, but no heart.
Xander: Ah, the post-fumigation party.
Buffy: 'Kay, so what's the difference between this and the pre-fumigation party?
Xander: Much hardier cockroaches.
Willow: So, no word from Angel?
Buffy: Nah. It's weird though. In a way I feel like he's still watching me.
Willow: Well, in a way he sort of is. In the way of that he's right over there.
Angel: Look, this can't --
Buffy: --ever be anything. I know. For one thing, you're, like, 224 years older than I am.
