- "And there will be a time of crisis, of worlds hanging in the balance, and in this time will come the anointed, the master's great warrior. And the slayer will not know him, will not stop him and he will lead her into hell!. As it is written, so shall it be." (the master reading prophecy)
- "Ooh, two points for the slayer while the watcher has yet to score" (Buffy to Giles)
- "Alright, I'll just jump in my time machine go back to the twelfth century and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few day while you take in dinner and a show." (Giles to Buffy)
- To which Buffy responds, "Okay, at this point you're just abusing sarcasm."
- "Well in that case I won't wear my button that says 'I'm a slayer, ask me how!'" (Buffy to Giles)
- "Clark Kent has a job. I just want to go on a date!" (Buffy to Giles)
- "If the apocolyspe comes, beep me" (Buffy to Giles)
- "Here endeth the lesson." (Master to his minions regarding the prophecy of the anointed one)
