Buffy Favorite #7-Superstar

Season 4 Episode 17

Jonathan, the class loser, becomes a superstar. This episode is great! Jonathan who is always in the background takes center stange and Joss makes you figure out what the hell is going on for yourself.

Sorry for the spoiler.

Notable Quotes:

Willow: I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Xander: We knocked them dead... which they already were.
Willow: We knocked them deader!

Spike (to Buffy): Yeah, back off, Betty!
Buffy: It's Buffy! You big, bleached... stupid guy.

Anya: Xander's not here.
Buffy Oh.
(Pause)
Anya: You're not going away. Why aren't you going away?

Anya (trying to give Buffy a pep talk): Oh, buck up you! You kill the best! Go you! Kill, kill.

Anya: You could have, like, a world with no shrimp. Or with, you know, nothing but shrimp.

Buffy: Anya, tell them about the alternate universes.
Anya: Oh, okay. Um... say you really like shrimp a lot. Or we could say you don't like shrimp at all. "Blah, I wish there weren't any shrimp," you'd say to yourself —
Buffy: Stop! You're saying it wrong.

Buffy: I think that Jonathan may be doing something so that he's manipulating the world, and we're all like his pawns.
Anya: Or prawns.
Buffy: Stop with the shrimp! I am trying to do something here!

Buffy: Giles, do you have a Jonathan swimsuit calendar?
Giles: No... Yes. I-it was a gift.

Riley: These spells, these really work? I mean, can you really turn your enemies inside out or learn to excrete gold coins?
Anya: That one's not so much fun.

Giles (after Xander speaks Latin, setting a book on fire): Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books.

Xander: So, we're saying that he did a spell just to make us think he was cool?
Giles: Yes.
Xander: That is so cool.

These quotes are all really, really funny. I have to say that you're making me want to watch.
