Happy 4th of July for our American contingent!

ANYA: Anya Christina Emanuella Jenkins, twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July, and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. Who's our little patriot? they'd say, when I was younger, and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

ANDREW: You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.
GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight.
ANDREW: Adios to five hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.
GILES: Well, what about my bag of illusions?
ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a burninator? Silly, silly British man.
AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.
ANDREW: Step down, girlfriend! You can't just...
AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer and I carry the Emerald Chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it.
XANDER: Smack down on Red Riding Hood. This could get ugly.
GILES: Could it possibly get uglier? I used to be a highly respected Watcher. Now I'm a wounded dwarf with the mystical strength of a doily.

GUNN: Whoo-whoo! My god! They told me it was true, but I didn't believe them. Damn, here it is! Evil white folks really do have a Mecca. Now, now, now, girls, don't get all riled up. OW! Did you just step on my foot? Is that my foot you just stepped on? Are you assaulting me, up in this haven of justice? Somebody get me a lawyer--because my civil rights have seriously been violated. Oh, I get it, I get it. You all can cater to the demon, cater to the dead man, but what about the black man! I'd love to stay and chat, but--yo, fellas!

GUNN: And since none of the clan representatives speak English, I'll be doing most of the talking.

WESLEY: You?

GUNN: Yeah. Along with the law and the Gilbert and Sullivan also got me a few demon languages in the brain upload.

FRED: So, aside from forks, ankles, and us not knowing what they're saying, any other potential minefields?

ANGEL: All their etiquette issues go along with a healthy dose of superstition.

HARMONY: You don't know the half of it. I've been doing a whole bunch of research on these guys, their customs and stuff? Did you know that they think poodles are wicked bad luck?

WESLEY: Harmony, I'm glad you're here. We'll be needing lunch.

Lindsey: How is it - seeing him again?
Darla: It's strange.
Lindsey: He betrayed you.
Darla: Everyone betrays you, that's not what eats you in the long winter's night...
Lindsey: Yeah? What does?
Darla: Missed opportunities. He got a soul and it sickened me. All that power wasted on a whiny mopey do-gooder. God, I could eat his eyeballs.
Lindsey: Our plans for Angel are a little more long term than that - but if you can't help yourself, then, by all means, be my guest.
Darla: You're fun for a human.
