Xander:
Buffy, this is all about fear. It's understandable, but you can't let it control you. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to anger. - No, wait, hold on. - Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to the dark side. - Hold on, no. Ahm... First you get the women, then you get the money, then you... - OK, can we forget that?

Buffy:
Thanks for Dadaist pep talk. I feel much more abstract now.

Xander:
The point is, you're Buffy.

Buffy:
Yeah. Maybe in high school I was Buffy.

Xander:
And now in college you're Betty Louise?

Buffy:
Yeah, I'm Betty Louise Plotnick of East Cupcake, Illinois. I might as well be.

Xander:
[...] Let me tell you something. When it's dark and I'm all alone, and I'm scared or freaked out or whatever, I always think "What would Buffy do?" You're my hero. OK, sometimes when it's dark and I'm all alone, I think "What is Buffy wearing?"

    I thought I remembered her saying "Dada-esque" pep talk. I need to go back and watch, it has been a long, long time since my last BtVS binge. Before we all even called it binge! :)
    I measure every TV show by this one. Not a lot can stand up to the cast and the writing. I don't even know how I would talk, so many things I say seem to be from Buffy! I was watching another show and thought of this quote but could not remember the last word, of course it is "abstract"! So funny, and always so clever.
