Season 6

Bargaining (6x01/02)

• This exchange in the teaser after a vampire they're hunting gets away:
  Tara: I thought the big ones were supposed to tire more easily.
  Spike: [glancing at a tired Giles] No, that's over-the-hill shopkeepers.
  Giles: I'm fine. I just need to-to die for a minute.
  • Spike ribbing Giles after saving him from the same vamp.
    Spike: Did your whole life flash before your eyes? Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea?
• Xander enters with his toolbox.
  Xander: House of chicks, relax. I'm a man, and I have a tool. [looks from the girls] Tools. Lot of plural tools in my, uh, toolbox.
• The Buffybot attending Dawn's PTA meeting. Every mundane, monotonous thing it says is accepted by the adults, who fail to see anything amiss.
• Giles and Anya playing tug-o-war with a statue from Giles' private collection, leading to this response from Xander:
  Xander: Okay, when I'm marveling at the immaturity, be scared.
  • Giles's "you should listen to him" look after Xander tells Anya to be nice to Giles unless she wants to work at Video Hut.
• When Xander counsels Anya to be patients, she says, "I was being patient, but it took too long."
• Xander asks if the Buffybot blew her cover at school.
  Tara: No, she did great. She impressed all the teachers.
  Xander: And they still thought it was Buffy?
• This:
  Xander: Excuse me? Who made you the boss of the group?
  Willow: You did.
  Tara: You said Willow should be boss.
  Anya: And then you said, "Let's vote," and it was unanimous.
  Tara: And you made her this little plaque that said, "Boss of Us!" and you put little sparkles on it and—
• The rest of the gang catch up to Giles at the airport before he leaves for England. Giles explains he didn't want to make a scene, to which Willow says, "As if we'd make a scene," as she whips out an elaborately-decorated placard.
  • They give him a little toy monster, and Tara makes it move, going, "Grr, arrgh!"
• Anya fretting about Xander's safety.
  Anya: They could be hurt. Xander could be lying somewhere, broken and bleeding, calling out my name.
  Tara: Anya...
  Anya: Like that. Oh, god.
• Xander freaking out over the orb of light that Tara sends to help him and Willow make their way to the Magic Box, thinking it's a bug. Willow tells him it's Tara.
  Xander: And how long have you known that your girlfriend's Tinker Bell?
• Dawn notes that the Hellions just seem to be destroying for destruction's sake. Then she notices the look on Spike's face, and he says it looks like fun.
• When Xander and Willow knock on the door of the Magic Box, Anya calls out, "Already been looted. Sorry. Try the appliance store down the block. They've got great toasters."
• Xander exchanging barbs with Razor:
  Razor: Not looking too good.
  Xander: I don't see you winning any beauty pageants. Not unless the "Miss My-Face-Fell-Off" contest gets going.
  • Also part of the exchange:
    Razor: Big ax you got there.
    Xander: The better to cut you down to size, Grandma.
  • Xander taking a moment to ask Willow and Tara if male witches are called "warlocks," which they confirm.^note No, they're not. "Warlock" is an old Scottish word meaning "traitor". Male witches are just called witches.
• Up on the catwalk where Buffy jumped to her death, Dawn pleads with her to stay still. Then the tower rocks.
  Dawn: Or-or move, but-but towards me, because the tower was built by crazy people, and I don't think it's holding up very well.

"After Life" (6x03)

• Spike ranting at Dawn for running away from him.
  Spike: Thank god. You scared me half to death. Or more to death. You—I could kill you. I mean it. I could rip your head off one-handed and drink from your brain stem.
• When a newly-resurrected and out-of-it Buffy retires early, Willow tries to pass it off as normal.
  Willow: Well, she, she's fine! Normal! She used to go to bed all the time!
  • This prompts a "WTF" expression from Tara. Yeah, not even Willow's girlfriend is buying her excuse.
• Dawn looks over the list of demons that theoretically might have hitched a ride with Buffy.
  Dawn: Skaggmore demons, Trellbane demons, Skitterers, large and small bone-eaters. If we get to pick, I say we go with the small bone-eaters.
  Anya: Well, that just means they prefer to eat things with small bones, like you.
• Anya brings hot drinks for everyone.
  Anya: Uh, coffee, coffee, coffee. Um, hot chocolate for Dawn. You're too young for coffee.
  Dawn: [in demonic voice with white eyes] Idiot!
  Anya: ...You can have my coffee.
• Anya worries that she looked bad while possessed by the demon they brought back.
  Willow: No, I'm sure you looked really glamorous cutting up your face.

"Flooded" (6X04)

• In the cold open, Buffy attempts to fix a leaky pipe, and it does stop leaking...but then water starts spewing from various points in the basement, soaking Dawn and causing her to squeal hilariously. Buffy just stands there looking defeated, not even turning around.
  Buffy: ...There. All better.
• The Scoobies explain the state of Buffy's finances.
  Dawn: So what do we do?
  Buffy: Easy. We burn the house to the ground and collect the insurance. Plus, fire, pretty. [everyone looks at her in horror] You guys, I'm kidding.
• Anya suggests charging for slaying, and Buffy says, "That's an idea...you would have."
• Buffy delivers a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner to the demon robbing the bank, only to discover that her skirt prevents her from kicking him.
  • After fighting off the demon, Buffy goes back to the loan officer who rejected her application.
    Buffy: Now, about my loan...I'm not saying I'm charging you for saving your life or anything, but...let's talk rates.
• Willow figures it's a good sign that Buffy is angry over the loan situation, but it quickly passes.
  Willow: Okay, let me make you mad again. Uh, ready? Um...Last semester, I slept with Riley.
  Buffy: ...And you know, I really doubt it.
  Willow: Caught me. Big fib...to cover up the sleazy affair I had with Angel.
  Buffy: Will, what the hell are you doing?
  Willow: Pissing you off.
  Buffy: Yes, true. Why?
• Dawn insists that she's old enough to look through the books on demons.
  Dawn: That's a weird place for a horn... [Beat, beat, Tara grins as Dawn gets it] ...That's not a horn.
  • She then opens the book again for another peek.
• Buffy and Giles hug.
  Giles: You're alive. You're here. [choked] And you're still remarkably strong!
• The M'Fashnik demon asks who the leader of the Trio is, and Warren says he is. The demon says he'll kill the leader, and they instantly start pointing at each other as the leader, and he says he'll kill them all.
  Jonathan: Wait. No fair. It's not our fault the Slayer was there. We said we'd pay you, and we're gonna.
  Warren: Yes. Truly, Lord Jonathan is the wisest of us all. [he and Andrew go to their knees]
  Andrew: Uh, yeah, long live our noble lord and master.
  Jonathan: You guys suck.
• Andrew clarifies that the hellhounds at Prom were the work of his brother, Tucker.
  Andrew: I trained flying demon monkeys to attack the school play. School play, dude.
  Warren: [Beat, then laughter] That was cool.
  Jonathan: Remember, everyone was like, "Run, Juliet!"
• The M'Fashnik demon attacks the Summers home, causing a lot of damage, Buffy wincing the whole time about the cost of everything that gets broken. Finally, she kills him, but not before he further damages the plumbing, and she just keeps beating the corpse.
  Buffy: Full...copper...re-pipe! No...more...full...copper...re-pipe!

"Life Serial" (6x05)

• Warren and Jonathan are discussing whether their van is discreet enough to avoid drawing the Slayer's attention...when they come around to the side to find Andrew painting the Death Star on it.
  • Later, Andrew accidentally hits the horn, forcing them all to duck out of sight as it plays the Imperial March. Cue Death Glare from Warren and Jonathan.
    Andrew: Hey, all you said was lose the mural.
• Listening to Anya ramble on via the bugs planted in the Magic Box, Warren says, "This is so dull, I might actually have fallen asleep...and be dreaming, you guys."
• "Stop touching my magic bone!!"
  • Which leads to the hysterical "Jonathan, grab your magic bone!"
• When the customer asks if they have a mummy hand.
  Buffy: Uh, yeah. Actually, I saw one downstairs. It's kind of hairy, though. Maybe it was a daddy hand. [blank look from customer] I'll just get it.
• The repeated failure at fetching a mummy hand from storage. The first time Buffy skewered it on a dagger:
  Buffy: And you get the Dagger of Lex for free with it. See the inlaid mother-of-pearl...underneath the black, oozing goo?...Oh, it's just playing dead. [slaps mummy hand] Little scamp!
  • Second time around, she attempts to apprehend the hand with a pair of barbecue tongs:
    Customer: [stares into package]
    Buffy: ...fingers sold separately.
  • The Peggy Sue Running Gag.
    Buffy: And then I'm going to marry Bob Dole and raise penguins in Guam.
  • Eventually, she just sits there while the mummy hand plays with the tongs.
  • Each loop begins with the bell over the door ringing, so one time, she rips it off its bloody hinges and smiles.
  • Also part of the loop is helping a customer with buying a scented candle (one of the choices is "essence of slug"). Once Buffy is just fed up with the scenario, she gives this advice:
    Buffy: You like slug?! Go with slug! She's not going to sleep with you, anyway!
  • If this put you in mind of a Norwegian Blue pining for the fjords, then Joss Whedon is one step ahead of you, because a few loops later, this happens:
    Warren: This mummy hand has ceased to be!
    Andrew: It is an ex-mummy hand!
  • Every loop, Giles gives Buffy a spiel about customer service while cleaning his glasses, and in one loop, she grabs his glasses, throws them on the floor, and stomps on them.
  • She starts a loop by going up to the customer, wild-eyed, and grabbing her by the coat.
    Buffy: It's you! You're doing this! [throws her, then cue next loop]
  • The candle buyer gets essence of slug thrown into his gut with Slayer strength.
  • Buffy eventually gives up and just stands there crying, all while Giles and Anya look on in confusion.
• Buffy drinking alcohol and shuddering with disgust. Again. And again. What really makes it is eventually you don't even see Buffy taking the drink, you just hear "BLEH!" every minute or so.
• Buffy's logic isn't the best when she's drunk.
  Buffy: Which one do I kill for information?
• Buffy snarking during the demon poker game.
  Spike: Come on. Someone's gotta stake me.
  Buffy: I'll do it! [at Spike's look] What? You thought I was just gonna let that lie there?
• Buffy goes on a rant at Spike, punctuated by, "Also, I think you're drunk."
• Warren, Andrew, and Jonathan fighting over who's the best James Bond. It starts as an offhand comment by Warren and escalates into all-out war.
  Warren: Connery is Bond. He had style.
  Jonathan: But Roger Moore was funny.
  Warren: Moonraker?! The gondola turns into a hovercraft? Retarded! And besides, the guy had, like, no edge.
  Andrew: Dalton had edge. In Licence to Kill, he was a rogue agent. That's edgy. And he was amazing in The Living Daylights.
  Jonathan: Yeah, which was written for Roger Moore, not Timothy Dalton.
  Warren: This is stupid. We're wasting time. End of discussion! [Beat] I mean, there's a shot of, like, pigeons doing double-takes when the gondola blasted by! Moonraker is inexcusable!
  • Eventually, it culminates in this priceless line:
    Andrew: Timothy Dalton should win an Oscar and BEAT SEAN CONNERY OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!!!
• This is one of only two (the other being the more serious "Sleeper") to be written as a collaboration between the show's funniest writers, David Fury AND Jane Espenson. That should explain why this episode has so many classic moments.

"All the Way" (6x06)

• Anya's Halloween costume.
  Anya: [dressed up in a Charlie's Angels costume for Halloween] Um, no, this is a special kind of angel called a Charlie. We don't have wings, we just skate around with perfect hair fighting crime.
• Xander is dressed as a pirate, and Anya innocently tells Dawn that later he's going to teach her a game called "Shiver Me Timbers"...only for Tara to whisk Dawn away before she can hear any more.
  Anya: Have you ever played?
  Tara: I'm not one for the timber.
• Willow is grumbling about the Wicked Witch stereotype...and then is immediately moved by the cuteness of a little girl dressed as one.
• Anya sending Buffy into the basement for some mandrake root leads to a Call-Back.
  Buffy: Don't blame me if we have this conversation over and over...and over... and over and over.
• Spike isn't too bummed when Buffy turns down his invitation to go patrolling.
  Spike: It's not like I don't already have plans. The Great Pumpkin is on in twenty.
• Buffy asks where Xander is.
  Giles: He kept poking me with his hook. I sent him to Charmed Objects. With any luck, he'll poke the wrong one and end up in an alternative dimension inhabited by a fifty-foot Giles that squishes annoying, teeny pirates.
• Willow suggests she use magic to clean the shop.
  Willow: It'll be like Fantasia.
  Giles: We all know how splendidly that turned out for Mickey.
• "The Dance of Capitalist Superiority," Anya pulling out a wad of cash and doing a happy dance with it, as Dawn joins in completely carefree for a few minutes. Then Anya reveals she does it every night, and you just know it's true.
  • When watching Anya and Dawn do the money dance, Xander says, "I'm going to marry that girl." Buffy's response? "What?! She's fifteen, and my sister, so don't eve— Oh.
    • Hilarious in Hindsight as Xander does end up marrying Dawn.
• Buffy asks Giles if he knew about Xander and Anya's engagement.
  Giles: No. Unless I blocked it from my memory, much as I will Xander's vigorous use of his tongue.
  Buffy: [sees Giles start to clean his glasses, and her jaw drops as she realizes] Is that why you're always cleaning your glasses? So you can't see what we're doing?
  Giles: Tell no one.
• Buffy wonders what else changed while she was dead.
  Dawn: Oh, I got a tattoo.
  Buffy: What?!
  Willow: Which is why we told her no.
  Dawn: Just a little one?
  Buffy: Over my dead body. The kind that doesn't come back.
• Tara and Willow see a couple dressed as Luke and Leia dancing intimately, prompting Willow to wonder out loud if they know.
• Buffy's busting of Dawn, where she turns into her mother.
  Buffy: Were you parking?! With a vamp?
  Dawn: I-I didn't know he was dead!
  Justin: Living dead.
  Dawn: Shut up!
  Buffy: How could you not know?
  Dawn: I just met him!
  Buffy: Oh! Oh, so you were parking in the woods with a boy you just met.
  Justin: We've seen each other at parties.
  Buffy: Shut up. [to Dawn] I don't believe you!
  Dawn: Oh, like you've never fallen for a vampire?
  Buffy: That was different.
  Dawn: It always is when it's you.
  Vamp 1: Uh, excuse me! Can we fight now?
  • At one point we cut to Giles, who has a hilarious What the hell am I even doing here? look on his face.
• Before the fight at the Make-Out Point:
  Buffy: Didn't anyone come here just to make out?
  [one couple raises their hands]
  Buffy: Awww... that's sweet. You run.
  [the couple does so]
  Buffy: [to vamps] You scream.

"Once More, with Feeling" (6x07)

• From "Going Through The Motions":
  Demon: She's not half the girl she [gets stabbed] OWWWWW!
  • Or this...
    Buffy: Will I stay this way forever, sleepwalk through my life's endeavor? [frees a hot guy who was tied up]
    Sexy Open Shirt Bystander: How can I repay y—
    Buffy: Whatever.
  • When Buffy starts singing it comes out of nowhere and is confusing. Then a group of vampires dance into view as backup singers and it becomes hilarious.
• From "I've Got a Theory":
  • When Willow thinks they're in a Broadway production, Tara starts doing jazz hands without her face changing or the rest of her body moving at all.
  • And of course this bit...
    Xander: It could be witches, some evil witches [sees Willow and Tara glare at him]... which is ridiculous, 'cause witches, they were persecuted, Wicca good and love the Earth and women power and I'll be over here...
    • Which is even funnier when you recall that once or twice, it was witches. Albeit the second time it was witches, it was Xander's fault. And it's Xander's fault this time too.
  • Also great is when Anya goes into her "bunny" solo the song shifts to a hard rock piece complete with a spotlight on her.
    Anya: I've got a theory... It must be bunnies!
    The Scoobies: [cricket chirp]
    Tara: I've got a theory—
    Anya: Bunnies are not cute like everyone supposes! They've got those hoppy legs and twitchy little noses! And what's with all the carrots?! What do they need good eyesight for anywaaaays?!^note A reference to an urban myth that carrots improve eyesight, concocted during World War II to explain how British fighter pilots were consistently intercepting German bombers, which was in fact due to their new secret invention, radar. BUNNIES!! BUNNIES!!! IT MUST BE BU-UN-NAAAAAYS!!!!!
    The Scoobies: [Silence]
    Anya: ...or maybe midgets.
• "They got... the mustard... OOOUUUT!!!!"
  • For some perspective, The Mustard is the conclusion to a big band song with the citizens of Sunnydale performing backflips with their dry cleaning. Over MUSTARD being removed from a SHIRT.
  • The part that gets most people is the deadpanned line immediately following:
    Buffy: It's not just us.
  • Here's Alyson Hannigan lip-synching to it in the hammiest way possible.
• This bit:
  Dawn: Oh my god! You'll never believe what happened at school today!
  Buffy: [without looking up] Everybody started singing and dancing?
  Dawn: [mad that she guessed it, goes deadpan] I gave birth to a pterodactyl.
  Anya: [not deadpan] Oh my God, did it sing?
• Tara and Willow make some word salad to cover up their dirty talk, then try to make the word salad into a suggestion that they might have some volumes at home that can help, and Giles says, "I'm a hairsbreadth from investigating bunnies at the moment, so I'm open to anything."
• This exchange:
  Willow: Those boys were totally checking you out.
  Tara: They were? I'm cured! I want the boys!
• This line:
  Anya: It was like we were being watched. Like there was a wall missing from our apartment. Like there were only three walls, and not a fourth one.
• Giles, Xander, and Anya walking down the street. First they discuss how Xander and Anya's song was, Giles provides some exposition about the demon responsible, and then it drifts to discussing Buffy's recent difficulties in life. All the while, there are people performing in the background (and the foreground, as the camera focuses on the parking ticket lady as they talk).
  Giles: I was able to examine the body while the police were taking witness arias.
• Buffy goes to see Spike.
  Spike: Well, I've seen some damn funny things the last two days. A six hundred-pound Chirago demon making like Yma Sumac, that one'll stay with you.
  • She asks him if he knows what's causing the musical.
    Spike: Oh. So that's all. You've come to pump me for information.
    Buffy: What else would I wanna pump you for? ...I really just said that, didn't I?
  • Spike, having reported that he's apparently immune to the musical influence, gets an annoyed look when he starts singing.
• Dawn's response to Sweet taking him back to the Underworld as his bride.
  Well, I mean, I'm fifteen, so this queen thing's illegal
  • A few lines later, Dawn manages to get this to fit the rhyme and meter:
  She'll be pissed, if I'm missed, see my sister's the Slayer...
• This gem while Giles and Buffy are training:
  Buffy: I'm worried this is going to turn into a training montage from an 80s movie.
  Giles: Well, if we hear any inspirational power chords, we'll just lie on the ground until they go away.
  • It turns into a training montage from an 80s movie.
• When Giles tells the others that Buffy has to face Sweet alone:
  Spike: Don't be such a stupid git—
  Giles: When I want your opinion, Spike, I'll... I'll never want your opinion.
• Willow's line in "Walk Through the Fire".
  Willow: I think this line's mostly filler.
• Xander hesitantly asks if, since he was the one who summoned Sweet, he has to be his queen.
• Buffy and Spike after the big group sing-along
  Spike: Finish the big group sing, get your kumba-yayas out.
  Buffy: I don't want to.
  Spike: The day you suss out what you do want, there'll probably be a parade. Seventy-six bloody trombones.
• The grarg sings "Grr! Arrgh!"

"Tabula Rasa" (6x08)

• Spike wants to talk about the kiss with Buffy.
  Spike: We—we kissed. You and me. All Gone with the Wind, with the rising music and the rising...music.
• Teeth says he doesn't want to see anyone get hurt. Then he walks away while giving the word to his vampires, who attack.
• Giles's farewell speech to the Scoobies gets interrupted by Spike barging into the Magic Box, clad in a suit and earmuffs to disguise himself from Teeth.
  Spike: You need to give me asylum!
  Xander: I'll say.
  Spike: No need to get cute. It's a disguise. Happens there's a bloke I'd rather not see just now. [to Buffy] You met him, I believe. Toothy bloke with the baby seal breath? Nasty fellow, him. And ugly, too. He's got a mouthful of choppers just waiting to be yanked out and worn as necklaces.
• Xander gets paranoid on waking, and says he doesn't know Willow.
  Willow: But you were just all like, "Oh, hey."
  Xander: Yeah, 'cause I thought you were a girl and I'd remember, but—
  Willow: [grabs her own chest] Well, I am a girl.
• Amnesiac-Xander freaking out:
  Xander: Okay. I'm not panicking. I'm not. I'm not. [to everyone else] Stop looking at me like I'm panicking!
• The mutual discovery of an amnesiac Spike and Giles's nationality:
  Spike: Oh, listen to Mary Poppins. He's got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always so... [stops and notices his own accent] Bloody hell. [ticks off on his fingers] Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks... oh, God! I'm English.
  Giles: [dryly] Welcome to the nancy tribe.
  • Followed by both men coming to the conclusion that they're father and son:
    Spike: You don't suppose you and I...We're not related, are we?
    Anya: There is a ruggedly handsome resemblance.
    Giles: And you do inspire a particular feeling of familiarity and...disappointment. [Beat] Older brother?
    Spike: [disdainfully] Father. Oh, God, how I must hate you.
    Giles: What did I do?
    Spike: There's always something. And what's with the trollop?
    Giles: Her?
    Spike: I saw you! Sleeping together.
    Giles: Resting together.
    Anya: Look! It's okay. We're engaged. It's a lovely ring.
    Spike: Oh, great, a tarty stepmom who's half old Daddy's age.
    Anya: Tarty?
    Giles: Old? You little twerp, I'm young enough to still get carded!
• After Spike mockingly repeats Giles's first name:
  Giles: You're not too old to put across my knee, you know, sonny.
  • Spike then reads the name inside of his suit jacket:
    Spike: "Randy Giles?!" Why not just call me "Horny Giles" or "Desperate-For-A-Shag Giles?!" I knew there was a reason I hated you!
    Giles: Randy's a family name, undoubtedly.
• Willow and "Alex" (Xander) as a couple with Willow's attraction to Tara.
• Spike's line to Giles after seeing Buffy and Dawn's sisterly display:
  Spike: You never showed me affection like that! I'd wager.
• This as the gang prepares to leave the Magic Box:
  Spike: [lays his hand chummily on Giles' shoulder] Dad can drive. He's bound to have some classic midlife-crisis transport. Something red, shiny, shaped like a penis.
• The look of fright on all of their faces when they saw Teeth's vampire goons.
  • It's so funny, it gets used in the Season 7 opening credits.
• When the vampires demand they send out Spike, Giles reasons they want actual spikes, and Spike goes and gets a bunch of wooden stakes, suggesting they give them to the vampires outside.
• This exchange after everyone mishears the vampires yell "Slayer!"
  Buffy: Who do those jerks think they are?
  Anya: Bloodsuckers. They kill by sucking blood. Take it easy, Joan.
• Xander's over-the-top reaction to the vampires breaking into the Magic Box as everyone tries to flee, followed by his getting on his knees and praying.
  Xander: Now I'm not sure what I am so bear with me here. Now I lay me down to sleep, shabat Israel, om, om...
• After being backed against a display case by a vampire, Spike rather petulantly drops the wooden stakes at the vampire's feet.
  Spike: Fine! Take your damn spikes!
• Joan, the Vampire Slayer.
  Joan: Stay away from Randy! [stakes the vampire manhandling Spike]
  • Xander fainting after "Joan," fresh from dusting a vamp, remarks she must be some sort of superhero.
• Spike and Giles' awkward father/son hug before Spike leaves with Buffy to draw the vampires away from the shop.
• Anya attempts to counter the memory spell, and summons a horde of bunnies, a sinister green cloud, a sword-wielding skeleton, and some kind of ferocious beast that we never even see.
  • After Anya conjures the first bunny, she screams and grabs onto a perplexed Giles.
  • After Anya conjures yet another bunny, Giles just puts his glasses back on and says "Yes, dear."
  • After Anya creates the green cloud:
    Giles: Clearly, that is not a helpful book, darling. Come down, and we will go about fixing this in a sensible fashion!
    Anya: [standing on the table] Sensible! You think it's sensible for me to go down into that pit of cotton-top hell and let them hippity-hop all over my vulnerable flesh?
    Giles: Fine, then just stay up there and keep making bunnies! That's a capital plan!
    Anya: What capital? I never know what you're talking about. "Loo," "shag," "brolly"—what the hell is all that?
    Giles: What? There's no way that you could remember me saying any of those words.
    Anya: Oh, bugger off, you brolly.
  • Giles fights the skeleton while demanding that Anya find another book.
    Giles: Get a different book! Put that book down, do you hear?! Not that book!
  • After Anya summons the unseen beast:
    Giles: Look what you've done, you lunatic woman!
    Anya: Don't blame me, you snobby, snotty, thinks-he's-so-great kind of jerk. And I feel compelled to take some vengeance on you. [hits Giles on the head with a book]
    Giles: Ow!! God, no wonder I'm leaving you!
    Anya: What?!
    Giles: Look! [shows her his plane ticket] One-way ticket to London, and out of this engagement!
    Anya: Of all the nerve!
    [Giles makes a hilariously miffed face]
• Spike learning that he's a vampire.
  Buffy: You're a vampire!
  Spike: How can you say— I, me, a vampire? No.
  Buffy: Check the lumpies. And the teeth. [Spikes checks himself] I kill your kind.
  Spike: And I bite yours. So how come I don't wanna bite you? And why am I fighting other vampires? [Beat] I must be a noble vampire. A good guy. On a mission of redemption. I help the hopeless. I'm a vampire with a soul.
  Buffy: A vampire with a soul? Oh my God, how lame is that?
• Spike musing about his status as a good vampire, all the while Buffy stands there looking bored.
  Spike: I'm a hero, really. I mean, to be cast such an ugly lot in life and then to rise above it. To seek out better, nobler things. It's inspirational, isn't it? And the two of us, natural enemies thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness. Utter trust. No thought of me biting you, no thought of you staking me.
  Buffy: Depends on how long you keep on yapping.
• Willow observes, "I'm, uh, all sweaty and trapped, no memory, hiding in a pipe from a vampire. And I think I'm kind of gay."
• Buffy gets her memory restored... and promptly gets kicked in the face.
• Giles and Anya make up and kiss... moments before the amnesia spell gets broken. They're next seen pretending to clean up the Magic Box, separated by a display shelf.

"Smashed" (6x09)

• When the Trio is confronted by Rusty the guard during their museum heist, Warren pretends they're with a tour group while working "get the freeze ray" into his sentences...twice. After the second time, he has to give Andrew and Jonathan a long look before it penetrates their feeble brains.
• Amy saying, "I felt like I was in that cage for weeks."
• Xander asks after Amy.
  Willow: Hard to say. It's a lot to take in. I keep expecting her to do, like, ratty stuff. You know, licking her hands clean, shredding newspaper, leaving little pellets in the corner.
  Buffy: Let's definitely not leave her alone in the house too long.
• Spike seeks out the Trio's help in finding out why his chip is malfunctioning, and he threatens to snap their limited edition Boba Fett figurine in half if they don't help.
  • The Trio then discuss what to do while Spike plays with the figurine in the background.
• Amy wishes she could make her dad forget that she was missing. Willow says she can help, then ruefully suggests sewing her name into her clothes first.
• While waiting for Warren, Jonathan and Andrew try to make small talk with Spike.
  Andrew: You're English, right?
  Spike: [looks at Jonathan, eyes narrowed suspiciously] Yeah.
  Andrew: I've seen every episode of Doctor Who. Not Red Dwarf, though, 'cause, um...
  Jonathan: 'Cause it's not out yet on DVD.
  Andrew: Right. It's not out yet on...DVD.
  Spike: [Beat] WARREN!
  • Spike calling Warren "Spock" while asking him to explain the results.
• Spike attempting to call out Buffy over the phone.
  Spike: [low, scary tone] Slayer.
  Buffy: Spike?
  Spike: Meet me at the cemetery. Twenty minutes. Come alone.
  Buffy: Spike?
  Spike: Bloody hell. [normal tone] Yes, it's me!
  • Followed by Spike making with the innuendo:
    Spike: Thought you might be up for a little grunt work.
    Buffy: What?! No. N-no grunting!
    Spike: I was talking shop, luv, but if you got other ideas... you, me, cozy little tomb with a view—
    [Buffy hangs up]

"Wrecked" (6x10)

• Buffy's whole reaction to waking up naked with Spike.
• Spike holding up Buffy's panties, and Buffy punching him before leaving.
• Dawn noticing that Buffy is "all sore and limpy."
• The Scoobies working their butts off to search for a frost demon that could've stolen from the museum, completely unaware that it was the Trio. It gets to the point where Anya is secretly reading a magazine because even she knows they're at a dead end.
  Xander: Anya has a theory. She thinks that Martha Stewart froze that guy.
  Anya: Don't be ridiculous. Martha Stewart isn't a demon. She's a witch.
  Xander: Please, she— Really?
  Anya: Of course. Nobody could do that much decoupage without calling on the powers of darkness.
• Dawn flipping quesadillas with her own hands.
  Dawn: Ow, ow, ow.
  Willow: Or you can do it the hard way.
  Dawn: Spatulas are for wimps.
• Buffy in the denial phase of her cycle with Spike.
  Buffy: Last night...was the most perverse, degrading experience of my life.
  Spike: [smiling] Yeah. Me too.
• Willow swears to give up magic.
  Willow: Magic wasn't all great. I won't miss the nosebleeds and the headaches and stuff.
  Buffy: There you go.
  Willow: Or keeping stinky yak cheese in my bra. [weird look from Buffy] Don't ask.

"Gone" (6x11)

• Looking at the wedding reception seating chart, Xander can't find Buffy.
  Anya: She's right here—table four. I put her with your family.
  Xander: Great. Except we don't hate Buffy.
• Trying to find Invisible Buffy with his hands, Xander accidentally cops a feel.
• Buffy playing around with a pair of balls as her "eyes", then goofing around with a skull.
• Invisible Buffy plucks a young woman's hat off her head and makes it float around, freaking her out.
  Buffy: I am the Ghost of Fashion Victims Past. Studded caps—not a good idea. [woman runs away] Hey, I'm doing you a favor! [tosses the cap in the trash]
• Invisible Buffy steals a parking cop's vehicle, making him chase after it.
• Buffy invisibly visiting Mrs. Kroger in her workplace, implying to the poor woman she's going mad. First Doris finds her coffee cup inexplicably changing locations. Then the cup starts dancing above her monitor.
  Buffy: [softly] Kill, kill, kill.
  Doris: What?!
  Coworker: I didn't say anything.
  Doris: Not you, the mug. It's— [see the mug isn't there anymore and has returned to where she put it] But I, uh...I heard something.
  Buffy: Kill, Doris. Kill everybody. You know you want to.
  Doris: Shut up. Shut up. Just shut up! [sees her coworkers looking at her and leaves, shaken]
  • Then Buffy finds Dawn's file and starts typing. When her supervisor looks at the file, he finds, ad nauseum, "All work and no play make Doris a dull girl." Doris then makes the mistake of telling him about the voice.
• Spike's watching TV, and a woman screams, "Oh, my god! The blood! Look at all the blood!" His stomach growls, and he goes to get himself a snack.
• And before, when Xander walks in on Buffy and Spike having sex, and Spike tells him he was exercising.
  • Then Spike simulates a few push-ups, and we can hear Buffy moan...
  • While Xander and Spike talk, Buffy nibbles on the latter's ear.
  • When Xander leaves, Spike chides Buffy for her antics, and she says, "What's the matter? Ashamed to be seen with me?"
  • Head and shoulders of Spike as he finishes pouting at an invisible Buffy for only coming around to use him. He tells her to take her clothes if she can find them and get out... then looks crotch-ward suddenly and says, "Hey, that's cheatin'."
• Buffy hearing the message that her invisibility will kill her isn't so funny. The camera panning to her approximate position to simulate a Reaction Shot, on the other hand...
• A fully choreographed, well-thought-out fight scene... of four invisible people. It's pretty much just dubbing over a swerving camera with sound effects added in.
• Warren stumbling over how to pronounce the plural of "archnemesis."
• Jonathan's attempt to use a smoke bomb so he, Warren, and Andrew can make a getaway failing spectacularly; the smoke clears a bit to show the Trio at the door, which is locked.

"Doublemeat Palace" (6x12)

• Willow recaps her investigation of the Nerd Lair.
  Anya: Okay, see, this is why demons are better than people.
  Willow: Interesting turn.
  Anya: When I was a vengeance demon, I caused pain and mayhem, certainly, but I put in a full day's work doing it, and I got compensated appropriately.
  Xander: Welcome to today's episode of Go, Money, Go. I hear it daily.
  Willow: Yep, for the rest of your life.
  Xander: [Oh, Crap! expression]
  Anya: But supervillains want reward without labor, to make things come easy. It's wrong. Without labor, there can be no payment, and vice versa. The country cannot progress. The workers are the tools that shape America.
  Buffy: Good to know. [cut to show her in her DMP uniform] I was kinda feeling like a tool. And now I know why.
• The training video, which apparently includes footage of animals being slaughtered, and Buffy's reaction.
• Manny catches Buffy looking in the freezer.
  Manny: You don't need to be in there.
  Buffy: Sorry. I-I was just curious.
  Manny: Curiosity killed the cat. [[leaves]
  Buffy: Theory number five: cat burgers.
• Halfrek's introductory scene is priceless. She threatens Xander's life and offers to dismember him in a horribly low and demonic voice until she recognizes Anya and adopts a much girlier voice ("Anyanka?! Oh my GOD!") and hugs her, with Xander shitting bricks the entire time.

"Dead Things" (6x13)

• It comes right before some serious Mood Whiplash, but Katrina, after the effects of the cerebral dampener wear off, tossing Warren into the lair while Jonathan and Andrew are play-fighting with toy lightsabers is absolutely hysterical.
• Spike's reaction after he overhears police officers mention how Katrina's body (which he dumped in the ocean to help Buffy) was found. This comes right as he was saying the body would never be found.
  Spike: Oh, balls!

"Older and Far Away" (6x14)

• Willow gifts Buffy an electronic massage device for her birthday, noting that Buffy can now have some "instant gratification" after slaying. Buffy makes the mistake of looking at Spike while she says it, who simply raises an eyebrow suggestively in response.
• Tara asking Spike about the "cramp" in his pants.
  • Maybe he'd like to put some ice on it?

"As You Were" (6x15)

• Buffy's embarrassment when Riley finds her working at the Doublemeat Palace.
  Riley: I've been up 48 hours straight tracking down something bad. Now it's come to Sunnydale.
  Buffy: My hat has a cow...
• Buffy is walking home through a cemetery when a vampire jumps out to attack her. Not only does he let her put down her to-go bag before they fight, but when he has a clear shot at their throat, he recoils and says that she smells like the Doublemeat Palace, offers her his pity on the matter, and says that he'll be going since her odor is making him sick. Buffy replies with an indignant stake to the chest. As he is dusted, you can see him raising his arms in a "Oh come on!" gesture.
• Xander refers to Riley and Sam as "Nick and Nora Fury."
• While Riley tries to reassure Buffy that he doesn't think any less of her despite her situation, and mentioning the fast food smell:
  Buffy: [upset] You smelled the smell?
  Riley: Buffy, none of that means anything. It doesn't touch you. You're still the first woman I ever loved... and the strongest woman I've ever known. And I'm not advertising this to the missus... but you're still quite the hottie.
  Buffy: You know, it goes away after many bathings.

"Normal Again" (6x17)

• This line from Willow:
  Willow: Hello, Tara. Would you like to go out with me for coffee, food, kisses, and gay love?

"Entropy" (6x18)

• Buffy interrogating Spike about the camera she and Xander found outside her house.
  Spike: [holding the camera] What's this?
  Buffy: It's a camera.
  Spike: Yeah, I got that part. Why am I holding it?
  Buffy: Someone was using it to spy on me. On my house.
  [Spike frowns]
  Buffy: Xander thinks it's you.
  Spike: Oh, the great Xander thinks so! Shudder, gasp! It must be true!

"Seeing Red" (6x19)

• Dawn's reaction to seeing Willow and Tara back together is both heartwarming and hilarious.
• Buffy grimacing at the figurines of scantily-clad women in the Trio's hideout.
• After seeing her jacket got cut by Warren's booby trap, Buffy remarks that's going to cost him.
• After Warren escapes on a jetpack, Andrew gives Buffy a short but dramatic farewell speech and activates his own jetpack. He flies upward... only to end up banging his head and falling back down, out cold, with his jetpack still running.

"Grave" (6x22)

• Giles noticing Buffy's new haircut upon their reunion is incredibly sweet. Anya piping in that she's a blonde now before hugging him is both sweet and incredibly funny.
• Buffy's attempts to fill Giles in on everything that's happened since he left. Anya's a vengeance demon again, Dawn's been stealing, they're running out of money..."And I've been sleeping with Spike." Giles stares at her solemnly for a long moment, then cracks up.
• Another bit:
  Giles: I can see...
  Anya: It's a miracle!
