"Looking in the mirror day after day and seeing nothing there? It's an overrated pleasure."

A wallflower classmate becomes invisible from lack of attention. And psychotic.

  • Air Vent Passageway: Marcie has a hideout in the suspended ceiling.
  • Batter Up
  • Brick Joke: Willow and Xander tell Snyder that Marcie's victim is going to sue the school. Later when Harmony gets her ankle broken by Marcie, Synder examines it.

Harmony: Ow!
Snyder: (looking alarmed) Don't sue.

Giles: I've never actually heard of anyone attacked by a lone baseball bat before.
Xander: Maybe it's a vampire bat. (everyone stares at him) ...I'm alone on that one, huh?

Cordelia: People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like this time I sort of ran over this girl on her bike. It was the most traumatizing event of my life, and she's trying to make it about her leg! Like my pain meant nothing.

    • Later on:

Cordelia: Somebody is after me! They just tried to kill Ms. Miller! Uh, she was helping me with my homework. And Mitch! And Harmony?! This is all about me! Me, me, me!
Xander: Wow! For once she's right!

Cordelia: Here's a chocolate... (realises it's Buffy) Oh, I don't think I need the loony-fringe vote.
Buffy: Well, I don't even like chocolates! (to herself) Okay, that was the lamest comeback of our times.

Xander: Cordelia, man, she does love titles!
Willow: (laughing hysterically) Oh, God! Remember in sixth grade with the field trip?
Xander: Right! Right! The guy with the antlers on his belt!
Willow: Be my Deputy!
Xander: And remember the-the hat?
Willow: Oh God! The hat!
Buffy: Gee, it's fun that we're speaking in tongues.

Cordelia: Buffy, I, uh, I, I know we've had our differences, with you being so weird and all, and hanging out with these total losers... Well, anyway, despite all of that, I know that you share this feeling that we have for each other, deep down...
Willow: Nausea?

FBI 1: We're not at liberty to discuss that.
FBI 2: It would be best for you to forget this whole incident.
Buffy: Do you know that you guys are very creepy?
FBI 2: Thank you for your help.

Buffy: There's one thing I didn't factor into all of this. You're a raving loony!
