Quotes5

  • Buffy Summers: So, how's it start?
  • Rupert Giles: I, uh... jump out of the circle, then I jump back in it, and then, um... I shake my gourd.
  • Buffy Summers: Oh, I know this ritual! The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the "Hokey Pokey" and turn themselves around.
  • Rupert Giles: Go quest.
  • [Giles performs the ritual]
  • Buffy Summers: And that's what it's all about.
  • Buffy Summers: A guide, but no food or water? So it leads me to a sacred place, and then a week later, it leads you to my bleached bones?
  • Rupert Giles: Buffy, please. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.
  • [in the desert for Buffy's quest]
  • Buffy Summers: What's in the trunk?
  • Rupert Giles: Supplies.
  • Buffy Summers: Supplies? I was wondering about that. Like food, water, maybe a compass?
  • Rupert Giles: What about a book, a gourd, and a bunch of twigs?
  • Buffy Summers: I-I don't think I'll be that hungry.
  • Rupert Giles: How serious are you about this?
  • Buffy Summers: 10. I'm serious to the amount of 10.
  • [first lines]
  • Buffy Summers: Giles, you don't have to help. You cooked.
  • Rupert Giles: Oh, come on. I quite like to cook. Helping you two out makes me feel useful.
  • Dawn Summers: Wanna clean out the garage on Saturday? You could feel indispensable.
  • Rupert Giles: Hmm. How tempting.
