Quotes 

• Buffy Summers : Wil, you know how bad I feel about this. Okay? It's eating me up...

  [to Anya] 

  Buffy Summers : A quarter cup of brandy and let it simmer.

  [to Willow] 

  Buffy Summers : ... but even though it's hard, we have to end this. Yes, he's been wronged, and I personally would be ready to apologize, but I...

  Spike : Oh, someone put a stake in me.

  Xander Harris : You got a lot of volunteers in *here*.

  Spike : I just can't take all this namby-pamby boo-hooing about the bloody Indians.

  Willow Rosenberg : Uh, the preferred term is...

  Spike : You won. All right? You came in and you killed them, and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not goin' around saying, "I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it." The history of the world is not people making friends. You had better weapons, and you massacred them. End of story.

  Buffy Summers : Well, I think the Spaniards actually did a lot of...

  [to Willow] 

  Buffy Summers : Not that I don't like Spaniards.

  Spike : Listen to you. How you gonna fight anyone with that attitude?

  Willow Rosenberg : We don't wanna fight anyone.

  Buffy Summers : I just wanna have Thanksgiving.

  Spike : [laughs]  Yeah... Good luck.

  Willow Rosenberg : Well, if we could talk to him...

  Spike : You exterminated his race. What could you possibly say that would make him feel better? It's kill or be killed here. Take your bloody pick.

  Xander Harris : Maybe it's the syphilis talking, but... some of that made sense.

• [Buffy didn't know Angel was around] 

  Willow Rosenberg : But, at least we all worked together and it was like old times.

  Xander Harris : Well, maybe we started a new tradition this year...

  [Buffy looks at her] 

  Xander Harris : Maybe not. But at least we all worked together. It was like old times.

  Xander Harris : Yeah, especially with Angel being here and everything.

  [everyone stares at him for a long time] 

  Xander Harris : Oops.

• Xander Harris : So what do we do now?

  Willow Rosenberg : Well, we could stay here and stand watch or I just...

  [Angel steps out of the dark next to them] 

  Angel : Willow.

  Xander Harris : Angel?

  Anya : So this is Angel. He's large and glowery, isn't he?

  Xander Harris : He's evil again.

  Angel : I-I-I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

  Willow Rosenberg : Angel's here to protect Buffy.

  Angel : I haven't been evil for a long time.

• Xander Harris : Hey, can we come rocketing back to the part about me and my new syphilis?

  Anya : It'll make you blind and insane, but it won't kill you. The smallpox will.

• [Buffy answers door to find Anya and a sick Xander] 

  Xander Harris : Happy Thanksgiving.

  Willow Rosenberg : Xander!

  Rupert Giles : You look like death.

  Willow Rosenberg : Are you okay?

  Buffy Summers : You didn't bring rolls?

• [after trying to warn the dean] 

  Xander Harris : Well, that was a waste of time.

  Willow Rosenberg : I think he thought we were crazy.

  Xander Harris : Well, maybe if Anya hadn't opened the conversation with, "Everybody got both ears?"

  Anya : I liked his wife. She gave me pie.

• Xander Harris : I hate this guy.

  Buffy Summers : He's just doing what was done to him.

  Xander Harris : I didn't give him syphilis!

  Rupert Giles : No, but you freed his spirit, and after a century of unrest he saw you as one of his oppressors.

  Xander Harris : What, so he rises up and infects the first guy he sees? That's no fair.

  Buffy Summers : Like you've never woken up cranky.

• Buffy Summers : Wasn't exactly a perfect Thanksgiving.

  Xander Harris : I don't know. Seemed kinda right to me. A bunch of anticipation, a big fight, and now we're all sleepy.

• Buffy Summers : First Thanksgiving on my own, and we all got through it.

  Xander Harris : And you know what? I think my syphilis is clearin' right up.

  Buffy Summers : And they say romance is dead. Or maybe they just wish it.

• Buffy Summers : Fine, okay? But someone still has to go warn the dean.

  Willow Rosenberg : I'll go. I need the air.

  Buffy Summers : Not alone.

  Anya : I'll go.

  Xander Harris : Me, too.

  Buffy Summers : You sure you're up to it?

  Spike : Oh, leave that one. He looks like he's ready to drop any minute, and I think I can eat someone if he's already dead.

  Xander Harris : I'm up to it.

• Xander Harris : You're a strange girlfriend.

  Anya : I'm a girlfriend?

  Xander Harris : Uh... there's a chance I'm delirious.

• Buffy Summers : Will, didn't you say the Chumash got all diseased when they were all holed up in the mission?

  Willow Rosenberg : Yeah. Uh, this has a better account of everything. It lists the various...

  Xander Harris : Various? As in...

  Willow Rosenberg : Well, the important thing is not to panic.

  Xander Harris : Wil, you just recited the mystical panic-causing incantation, so little hope there.
