Bruce Gray credited as playing...
Ernie
- Ernie: Listen: writers - when they're alone, they're prophetic; when they're with people, they're pathetic. They're just too in their heads.
- Ernie: I knew it was just a matter of time before you walked out and left me alone here living my dreary life. You know, looks fading, withering away on the vine, everyday a step closer to the grave.
- Ernie: [knocking on Xander's door] Xander?
- Xander: [to Blaine on the phone] Hang on.
- Xander: [calling to Ernie] What's up?
- Ernie: Oh, I think we all know the answer to that question.
- Xander: Okay, let me rephrase it: What can I help you with?
- Ernie: Oh, just tell the hottie, that if he's tired of youth, then experience is just down the hall and past the credenza.
- Xander: Mm-hm. Will do.
- Xander: [seeing Ernie's tears] Did you miss the fact that this is a horror film and they all got slaughtered by a homicidal maniac?
- Ernie: Oh, I don't know. It's just the irony of it, you know? Don't you see that it's the tragic end of youth and beauty that's caused by the ugliness and bitterness of an empty heart. Hey, it's a god-damn masterpiece.
- Xander: Well, now that you mention it...
- Ernie: Yeah, it's like Sweeney Todd without the music... or Angela.
