Buffy Quote Meme thing


 When you see this, post another Buffy quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on. 

Seen just about everywhere on my flist and it was the quickest meme for me to do. No shiny picspam though like [livejournal.com profile] leviathan101 

SPIKE: Now, uh, don't turn me into a horned toad for asking, but ... what if we come across Ben? 
WILLOW: I-I don't think a doctor's what Buffy needs right now.
SPIKE: Well, yeah, especially not one who also happens to be Glory.
GILES: What do you mean?
SPIKE: You know. Ben is Glory.
WILLOW: (frowns) You mean ... Ben's with Glory?
XANDER: "With" in what sense?
ANYA: They're working together?
SPIKE: No. No. Ben is Glory. Glory's Ben. They're one and the same.

ANYA: When did all this happen?
SPIKE: Not one hour ago! Right here, before your very eyes! Ben came, he turned into Glory, snatched the kid, and pfft! Vanished, remember?

SPIKE: (uncertainly) You do remember...? (squints at them) Is everyone here very stoned?

SPIKE: (getting annoyed) Ben! Glory! He's a doctor, she's the beast. Two entirely separate entities sharing one body. Like a bloody sitcom. Surely you remember.
XANDER: So you're saying ... Ben and Glory...
ANYA: Have a connection.
GILES: Yes, obviously, but what kind?
SPIKE: (laughs sarcastically) Oh, I get it. That's very crafty. (nods) Glory's worked the kind of mojo where anyone who sees her little presto-change-o instantly forgets. And yours truly, being somewhat other than human ... stands immune.
WILLOW: (frowning) So ... Ben and Glory ... are-are the same person?
XANDER: (slowly, like a revelation) Glory can turn into Ben, and Ben turns back into Glory.
ANYA: And anyone who sees it instantly forgets.
SPIKE: (sighs in relief) Kewpie doll for the lady.

GILES: Excellent. (looks around at them) Now. Do we suspect there may be some kind of connection between Ben and Glory?


So it's not really a quote but a whole scene, which I saw a couple of days ago. Comedy following on from that huge dramatic moment where Buffy drops into catatonia.  Priceless - ASH's delivery of the last line is perfect and it's left once again for Spike to tell the scoobies 'how it is'.

I have the other 'answers' only meme to do yet.

That never stops being hilarious.

Yes, even when you know exactly what's coming it's still hysterically funny.

I had forgotten about that line! That's awesome!

Isn't it just?

It reminds me of a another scene from Python's Holy Grail 'You stay here and guard the Prince' - Whice we quote like cant in our house when we're dealing with someone who doesn't 'get it'.

Ha!! Great scene! You can just feel the frustration coming off of Spike but can't help but laugh at the scoobies. Hilarious!

There's a lovely reprise later on in the hospital.

SPIKE: Found Ben's room at Glory's. Didn't learn much.
XANDER: Wait, wait, wait. Ben? At Glory's? (Spike rolls his eyes) You're saying all this time he's been subletting from her?
SPIKE: This ... is gonna be worth it.

Spike bitch-slaps Xander upside the head.

Shot of the two of them from the rear as they both grab their heads in pain.
SPIKE/XANDER: Ow!!

Cut to the front again. They both stumble, use each other to regain their balance, and continue walking.
SPIKE: Last time. From the top.

They walk off together.

I'm smiling as I post this bit :)

Oh yeah, I remember! It was genius to have Spike say it'll be worth it, and then have them both writhing in pain. This is definitely one of the more funnier scenes of the series. I love to laugh while I watch my shows. The humor is one of the things that really appealed to me while discovering BtVS.

I'm smiling as I post this bit :)

I'm laughing as I read! Great meme.

Kewpie doll for the lady

Ohh my, what a gem of a scene! Absolutely hilarious. They all played it sooo perfectly...priceless it definitely is. Goodness, I think I'm going to have to go watch this scene in between grabbing more clips for my vid. :)

...and it's left once again for Spike to tell the scoobies 'how it is'.
Indeed.

Excellent choice. Love it.
I've been deciding about a quote/scene myself..and I think one just came to mind. :)

There are lots of great 'Spike' quotes - We're spoilt for choice both funny and profound.

I love this meme. I get to read all these funny scenes again from all my friends!

This is such an awesome comedic scene in an otherwise very sad and intense couple of eps.

I think that is the main reason it works so well, complete shift from the desperate to the desperately funny.

LOL this is go great! by the way can i get an email address for you. I run an awards site and someone has nominated you. I would love to give you the info about the nomination. :)

[identity profile] thedothatgirl.livejournal.com 2008-09-23 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh nominated?? ok *is curious*

You can email thedothatgirl(at)fsmail(dot)net. That should get to me.

Sorry for the mass type emailing thing but I want to get this to as many of you as possible. I went back a few entries to it's less likely that [livejournal.com profile] charmax will actually see this.

I'm putting together, in conjunction with [livejournal.com profile] ch_wg, a prezzie for [livejournal.com profile] charmax's wedding. I'm putting together a goofy dance video for part of the present and I wanted to use pictures from her friends saying congrats. How much you're actually in the picture is up to you. I know some of you are fiercely private so you don't have to be in the picture yourself. Take a picture of your dog with a sign in front of him that says "Congrats from (your username)" or what have you. Just so long as it says who it's from so that she'll know who's sending the love I don't care what you put on it. If you want to photoshop something feel free to do so. PLEASE make sure your image is horizontal. I can play with it so far as sizing but horizontal will definitely help me with sticking it in the video.

REMEMBER... this is a secret so no snitching. If you want to post something like this on your journal (with [livejournal.com profile] charmax filtered, of course) that would be great.

I need the picture(s) by this Sunday October 12th. Email your pictures to countessmary@gmail.com

Thanks,

Mary
