Books

Giles: Buffy, when I said you could slay vampires and have a social life, I didn't mean at the same time!

Giles: I'll just jump into my time machine, go back to the 12th century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few days while you take in dinner and a movie!

Jenny: Did anyone ever tell you you're kind of a fuddy duddy?
Giles: Nobody ever seems to tell me anything else.
Jenny: Did anyone ever tell you you're kind of a sexy fuddy duddy?
Giles: No, actually, that part usually gets left out. I can't imagine why.

Giles: Testosterone is a great equalizer. It turns all men into morons.

Buffy: Have I ever let you down?
Giles: Do you want me to answer that, or shall I just glare?

Giles: I don't care what time it is, unlock his cell, unstrap him, and bring him to the phone!

Xander: Maybe Buffy unplugged the phone.
Giles: No, it's a statistical impossibility for a sixteen- year-old girl to unplug her phone.

Buffy: Speak English, not whatever they speak in, um...
Giles: England?

Giles: Let me be sure I have this right - this witch is casting horrible and disfiguring spells... so that she can become a *cheerleader*?

Buffy: Vampires are creeps.
Giles: Yes, that's why one slays them.

Buffy: I mean, people are perfectly happy getting along, and then vampires come, and they run around and they kill people, and they take over your whole house and start making these stupid little mini-pizzas. Now where I like a mini-pizza, but I'm telling you...
Giles: Buffy. I believe the sub-text here is rapidly becoming... text.

Giles: I've been indexing the Watcher diaries covering the last couple of centuries. You'd be amazed how numbingly pompous and long-winded some of these Watchers were.
Buffy: Color me stunned.

Giles: You're not, by any chance, betraying your secret identity just to impress, um, cute boys, are you?

Giles: They made their reputation by massacring an entire Mexican village in 1886.
Buffy: Friendly little demons.
Giles: That was before they became vampires.

Giles: Grave robbery? That's new. Interesting.
Buffy: I know you meant to say gross and disturbing.
Giles: Yes, yes, yes, of course. Terrible thing. Must put a stop to it. Damn it.

Giles: That was hardly the worst mistake you'll ever make... That wasn't quite as comforting as it was meant to be.

Giles: Things involving the computer fill me with a childlike terror. Now, if it were a nice ogre or some such, I'd be more in my element.

Buffy: So you're saying these vampires went to all this hassle for a basic decoder ring?
Giles: Actually, yes, I suppose I am.

Buffy: I told one lie. I had one drink.
Giles: Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words, let that be a lesson are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Giles: You were right, all along, about everything.... Well, no, you weren't right about your mother coming back as a pekinese.
 

Principal Snyder: There's some things I can just smell. It's like a sixth sense.
Giles: Well, actually, that would be one of the five.

Buffy (to Giles about Ms. Calendar): You just say, "Hey, I gotta thing, you maybe have a thing, maybe we could
have a thing.
Giles: Well thank you Cyrano.

Buffy: Hey! Look at us. We came up with a plan. A good plan.
Giles: Alright, we'll meet there tonight, after it closes.
Buffy: No! Bad plan! I have other plans! Dance plans!
(Giles gives her a look.)
Buffy (glumly): Cancelled plans.

Giles: Whatever the authorities have planned for her, it can't be much worse than what she's doing to herself. She's taken a human life. The guilt it's it's - pretty hard to bear. It won't go away soon.
Cordelia: I guess you should know, since you helped raise that demon that killed that guy that time.
Giles: Yes, do let's bring that up as often as possible.

Giles: I suppose there is a sort of Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression.
Xander: I resent that! Or possibly thank you.

Giles: Here comes Buffy. Now remember, discretion is the better part of valor.
Xander: You could've just said "shh!" God, are all you Brits such drama queens?

Giles: Why don't you meet me here at seven. We'll map out a strategy.
Buffy: What am I supposed to do until then?
Giles: Go to class, do your homework, have supper.
Buffy: Right. Be that Buffy.

Giles: Buffy, might I have a word?
Buffy: Have a sentence, even.
 

Giles: Here's another. Valentine's Day, yes, um, Angel nails a puppy to the -
Buffy: Skip it.
Giles: But -
Buffy: I don't wanna know. I don't have a puppy, skip it.

Giles (to Buffy): It's classic battle strategy, to throw one's opponent off his game. He's just trying to provoke you, to taunt you, to goad you into some mishap of some sort.
Xander: The "na-na-na-na-na-na" approach to battle.
Giles: Yes, Xander, once more you've managed to boil a complex thought down to its simplest possible form.

Giles: Cordelia, have you actually ever heard of tact?

Xander: Check it out. The watcher's back on the clock, and just when you were thinking career change, maybe becoming a looker, or a seer.
Giles: Thank you, Xander.

Buffy: I got in a few hours ago, but I went to go see my mom first.
Giles: Yes, yes, of course. How did you find her?
Buffy: Well I pretty much remembered the address.
 

Giles: Buffy good timing. I could use your help. I trust you remember the demon Acathla.
Buffy: Giles, contain yourself. Yes, I'm back in school, but you know how it embarasses me when you gush so let's just skip all that and get straight to work.
Giles: Oh, I um, of course it's wonderful to have you back, it goes without saying. But you enjoy making me say it,
don't you?

Giles: What you must realize, Buffy is that you and Faith have fairly different temperaments.
Buffy: Yeah, and mine's the sane one. The girls not playing with a full deck, Giles. She has almost no deck.. She has a three.

Buffy: Giles, there are two things that I don't believe in. Coincidence and leprechauns.
Giles: Buffy, it's entirely possible that they both arrived here by chance simultaneously.
Buffy: Okay, but, I was right about the leprechauns, right?
Giles: As far as I know.

Giles: You filthy little potser, you afraid of a little demon?
Principal Snyder: You wanna splash around in the pooh, you're the filthy one!
Buffy: Everybody just stop it! Okay, listen to me! I need help. Okay, Giles, I need grownups. These children are
gonna die if we don't act now, okay, and think clearly. There is no room for mistakes. Besides which, you guys are
just wigging me out.

Giles (to Xander and Willow at the dance): We have to find Buffy. Something terrible has happened. Just kidding,
thought I'd give you a scare. Are those finger sandwiches?
