Arby, I'm enjoying all of the BtVS quotes you are posting. That show had a certain way with language that you rarely see. They talked like people actually talked, not like middle aged writers. It's one of the reasons I liked the show so much.

Thanks seanahan! I totally agree, and I think it was the thing that struck me the most about the show when I saw the Pilot - Joss has an ear for dialogue that just rings true, even when the dialect itself is made up (e.g., Firefly).

Seconded. Whedon for president (or Bundeskanzler)!
But are dialogs usually that witty and snappy in Californian High School libraries and Magick Shops? Scares me... Our colder weather must render us totally dull around here then.
