Quotes 

• [Sjornjost, 880, Anya is human] 

  Anya : [Old Norse, subtitled]  The rapid reproductive rate of our rabbits has given me an idea. I can give the excess out to the townspeople, exchanging them not for goods or services, but for goodwill and the sense of accomplishment that stems from selflessly giving of yourself to others.

  Olaf : [Old Norse, subtitled]  Ha, ha, ha. Sweet Aud! Your logic is insane and happenstance, like that of a troll.

• [Sjornjost, 880, Anya is human] 

  Anya : [to D'Hoffryn]  I, uh... I don't talk to people much. I mean, I talk to them, but they don't talk to me, except to say thatyour questions are irksome and perhaps you should take your furs and your literal interpretations to the other side of the river.

• D'Hoffryn : I've got plenty of girls. There will always be vengeance demons, but nowt you, Anya, you're out. Congratulations. Your wish is granted.

  Anya : You should have killed me.

  D'Hoffryn : [chuckles]  Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. From beneath you, it devours. Be patient. All good things in time.

  [D'Hoffryn teleports away] 

• [Sunnydale, 2001] 

  Anya : [singing]  I've boned a troll, I've wreaked some wrath / But on the whole I've had no path / I like to bowl, I'm good with math / But who am I / Now I reply / That I'm the missus / I will be his Mrs. / Mrs. Anya Christina Emanuella Jenkins Harris.

• Xander Harris : You don't understand. This isn't an intervention. Buffy's coming to kill you.

  Anya : She's coming to try.

  Xander Harris : Did everybody have their "crazy flakes" today?

• Anya : This is getting to be a *pattern* with you, Buffy. Are there any friends of your left you haven't tried to kill...? Come on, Buffy. Don't you have a clever retort for me?

• [Sjornjost, 880] 

  Anya : What would I have to do?

  D'Hoffryn : What you do best. Help wronged women punish evil men.

  Anya : Vengeance.

  D'Hoffryn : But only to those who deserve it.

  Anya : They all deserve it.

  D'Hoffryn : Well, that's where I was goin' with that, yeah.

• [after D'Hoffryn has Halfrek killed instead of Anya to restore the lives of her victims] 

  D'Hoffryn : [hard and angry tone]  Who did you think you were dealing with? Did you think it would be that easy to get away?

  Anya : Why?

  D'Hoffryn : Why?

  [laughs] 

  D'Hoffryn : Because you *wished it*!

  Anya : But she was yours.

  D'Hoffryn : The way you were mine? Haven't I taught you anything, *Anya*? Never go for the kill when you can go for the pain.

  [Xander starts to rush at D'Hoffryn but Buffy holds him back] 

  D'Hoffryn : Hold him back, Slayer. Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt?

• [Sunnydale, 2001] 

  Anya : [singing]  And I'll be Mrs. / I will be his missus / Mrs. Anya "Lame-Ass Made-Up Maiden Name" Harris.

• [St. Petersburg, 1905] 

  Halfrek : Yes, I'm sure this is what she had in mind.

  Anya : Well, I don't know about her mind, but it was in her heart. Besides, Russia was ready to explode. All we did is just give it a little push.

• [last lines] 

  Anya : Xander...

  [Xander stops and turns around] 

  Anya : What if I'm really nobody?

  Xander Harris : Don't be a dope.

  Anya : I'm a dope.

  Xander Harris : Sometimes.

  Anya : Well, that's a start.
