School Hard - S2-E3
Vampire: And when I kill her, it will be the greatest event since the crucifixion. And I should know, I was there.
Spike: You were there?! If every vampire who said he was actually at the crucifixion really was there, it would've been like Woodstock!
Angel: I did a lot of unconscionable things when I became a vampire. Drusilla was the worst. She was...an obsession of mine. She was pure, and sweet and chaste.
Buffy: You made her a vampire.
Angel: First I made her insane. Killed everyone she loved, visited every mental torture on her I could devise. She eventually fled to a convent, and on the day she took her holy orders, I turned her into a demon.
Buffy: Cordelia, your mouth is open, sound is coming from it. This is never good.
Hank Summers: At least when she was burning stuff down, I knew what to say.
School Hard - S2-E3
Spike: You know what I find works with Slayers? Killing them.
Xander: I think I'm having a thought. Oh yeah, that's a thought. [Gasp.] Now I'm having a plan!
Xander: Are we overlooking the possibility that she may be very attracted to me? ... She's possessed.
[Buffy accidently attacks Xander, and Xander jumps back.]
Xander: Man, Buffy. My life just flashed before my eyes. I gotta get me a life.
Chosen answer: "So goes the nation" seems to have been used on many occasions, with various different US states in the "As .... goes" section. Most commonly it seems to be California that's considered to lead the way, but probably most other states have appeared in the lead role at some point or another. Other things have also been used - no less a person that Pope John Paul II said "As the family goes, so goes the nation...". The origin of the quote format is unclear - in US politics it goes back into the 19th century, when it was Maine that held the title spot, but, while no definitive origin is known, it seems highly likely that it goes back considerably further than that.
