- Xander Harris: You think we haven't all seen this before? The part where you just cut us all out, just step away from everything human and act like you're the law? If you knew what I felt...
- Buffy Summers: I killed Angel...! Do you even remember that? I would've given up everything I had to be with... I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life... and I put a sword through his heart because I had to.
- Willow Rosenberg: And that all worked out okay.
- Buffy Summers: Do you remember cheering me on? Both of you? Do you remember giving me Willow's message? "Kick his ass."
- Willow Rosenberg: I never said that...
- Xander Harris: This is different.
- Buffy Summers: It is always different! It's always complicated. And, at some point, someone has to draw the line and that is *always* going to be me. You-You get down on me for cutting myself off, but, in the end, the Slayer is always cut off. There's no mystical guide book, no all-knowing Council. Human rules *don't* apply... There's only me. I am the law.
- Xander Harris: There has to be another way.
- Buffy Summers: Then please find it.
- [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.
- Spike: I don't trust what I see anymore. I don't know how to explain it, exactly. Like I've been seeing things... Dru used to see things, you know? She'd always be staring up at the sky watchin' cherubs burn or the heavens bleed, or some nonsense. I used to stare at her and think she'd gone completely "sack of hammers." But she'd see the sky when we were inside and it'd make her so happy. She'd see showers. She'd see stars... Now I see her.
- 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]

- Villager #2: [Old Norse, subtitled] It's the largest troll I've ever seen!
- Villager #1: [Old Norse, subtitled] Run! Hide your babies and your beadwork!
- [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.
- [first lines]
- Dawn Summers: My advice to you is do exactly what everyone else does, all the time.
- Willow Rosenberg: Got it.
- Dawn Summers: Do what everyone else does, wear what everyone else wears, say what everyone else says.
- Willow Rosenberg: Okay.
- Dawn Summers: People may say something to you you don't understand. Just don't be afraid to keep your mouth shut and pretend like you know what they're saying.
- Willow Rosenberg: You know, Dawn, I've been to college before.
- Dawn Summers: People may say something like, "My protein window closes in an hour." Just... nod and smile. "Mm-hmm." Turns out it has something to do with fitness.

- Mustard Man: [singing, off-screen] Oh, no / Mustard on my shirt.
- Parking Ticket Woman: [singing, off-screen] Mustard / I'll never get it out.
- Mustard Man: [singing, off-screen] My favorite dress shirt.
- Parking Ticket Woman: [singing, off-screen] Dry-clean it.
- Mustard Man: [singing, off-screen] How could you serve...
- Mustard Man, Parking Ticket Woman: [singing, off-screen] Mustard.
- 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?
- D'Hoffryn: I talked to your friend, Miss Rosenberg.
- [to Anya]
- D'Hoffryn: She's a firebrand. I have high hopes for her.
- Xander Harris: Stay away from Willow.
- D'Hoffryn: Oh, he's gallant, isn't he? I understand what you saw in him.
- Buffy Summers: Xander... it's okay. She didn't tell us for a reason. She didn't tell us because she knows what I have to do... I have to kill Anya.
- Buffy Summers: [on phone] Oh. Spider demon. Wait. Ho-Hold on. Are-Are you alright? Uh. Like how? Uh-huh. Uh-huh, wait. Okay, go ahead.
- [pause]
- Buffy Summers: No, no, no, no, no. It's all good. Um, I'll-I'll get Xander to go. But seriously, you just-
- [pause]
- Buffy Summers: Wh... Ripped out the heart? My God. Hey, did you get that physics class you wanted?
- D'Hoffryn: The flaying of Warren Meers, oh, *truly* inspired. *That* was "water cooler" vengeance. Yes. Lloyd has a sketch of it on his wall.
- [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?
- D'Hoffryn: Miss Rosenberg seems to think Anyanka would be better suited outside the vengeance fold. I think we already know what Lady "Hacks Away" wants. And the young man, well, he sees with the eyeballs of love.
- [Sunnydale, 2001]
- Anya: [singing] And I'll be Mrs. / I will be his missus / Mrs. Anya "Lame-Ass Made-Up Maiden Name" Harris.
- Buffy: I just don't want you to get your hopes up.
- Xander: Hopes? Oh, no, no, no, no. There are no hopes. Anya and I are done. I love being single. I'm a strong, successful male who's giddy at the thought of all the women I will no doubt be dating in the near future.
- Buffy: Strong, successful males say "giddy"?
- [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.
