  Spike : Oh, listen to Mary Poppins. He's got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always so... Bloody hell... Sodding. Blimey. Shagging. Knickers. Bollocks. Oh, God. I'm English.

  Rupert Giles : Welcome to the nancy tribe.

  Spike : You don't suppose you and I... We're not related, are we?

  Anya : There is a ruggedly handsome resemblance.

  Anya : I-I don't see any booze. I don't feel any head bumps. I don't see Allen Funt.

• Vamp #2 : [outside the Magic Box]  Send out Spike!

  Rupert Giles : They seem to want spikes.

  Spike : [as Randy]  Let's give 'em these.

  Rupert Giles : Oh, well done.

• Rupert Giles : As, uh, proprietor of a-a-a magic shop, I propose we fight them. We can use things here in the shop. You know, magic tricks or whatever they're called.

• [in the magic shop, with memory loss] 

  Rupert Giles : [whispering]  God, no wonder I'm leaving you!

  Anya : [whispering]  Of all the nerve!

• Dawn : What kind of oogly-boogleys? Lizardy types, or um, zombies, or, or vampires, or what?

  Giles : There are no oogly-boogleys, Dawn.

• [in the magic shop, with memory loss, Anya trying different spell books] 

  Rupert Giles : Well, fine. Then just stay up there and keep making bunnies. It's a capital plan.

  Anya : What capital? I never know what you're talking about. Loo? Shag? Brolly? What the hell is all that?

  Rupert Giles : What? There's now way you could remember me saying any of those words.

  Anya : Ah, *bugger* off, you brolly.

• [in the magic shop, with memory loss, Anya trying different spell books and Giles fighting a sword duel with a skeleton]
