Buffy: I can't believe I'm doing this. I can't believe I'm in a graveyard with a strange man hunting for vampires on a school night.
News anchor: The apparent cause of death was severe neck wounds that resembled, in the words of one bystander, a really gross hickey.
Buffy: Pike isn't a name, it's a fish.
Merrick: I would have been a wonderful bootmaker.
Buffy: Does Elvis talk to you? Does he tell you to do things? Do you see spots?
Benny: Her yabos scoff at gravity.
Buffy: Excuse much! Rude or anything?
Nicole: You got a C-plus? I can't believe I cheated off you.
Buffy: Excuse me for not knowing about El Salvador, like I'm ever going to Spain anyway.
Andy: They had this look in their eyes, totally cold, animal. I think they were young Republicans.
Buffy: Great. My secret weapon is PMS. That's just terrific. Thanks for telling me.
Pike: Buffy, you're the guy. You are the chosen guy.
Buffy: Right. I'm the chosen one. And I choose to be shopping.
Zeph: Where the hell are going?
Pike: I'm leaving man, I'm bailing town. This place has gotten way too hairy.
Zeph: Where the hell I'm I gonna find a mechanic stupid enough to work for my kind of money?
Pike: Seen Benny lately?
Zeph: No. Hey! What, you want me to give him a message?
Pike: You should think about leaving too, man. Sell this place. There's something going on around here. I don't know, something really weird.
Zeph: Hey, what do you want me to do if I see Benny?
Pike: Run.
Gary: I have detention slips here and I'm not afraid to use them.
Pike: Look! Air.
Buffy: Does the word "duh" mean anything to you?
Merrick: And you're going to be able to use that to track them.
Buffy: Great. My secret weapon is PMS. That's just terrific. Thanks for telling me.
Merrick: It's not a weapon. It's an alert system.
Buffy: Well, aren't we kung fu? I don't see you out there killing any vampires.
Merrick: I play my part.
Buffy: You can play with your part all you want, but it's my neck on the block.
Chosen answer: If she listened to the silence (didn't pay attention to what Lothos was saying), then she would be able to ignore what gave him the ability to put her in a trance, and she could then put up a good fight. As to why he didn't kill her when she was just sitting there: for some reason bad guys always have to have the last word (explaining their scheme, what-have-you). Chalk it up to Bad Guy Stupidity.
