Revision as of 17:21, 8 January 2014

 Buffy: It just keeps coming.

Trying to escape Glory, the Scoobies leave town only to be cornered by the Knights of Byzantium.

 Anya: Shouldn't somebody be asking, "Are we there yet?" Isn't that what small entertaining children do?

Dawn: That kinda only works if you know where you're going.

 Xander: I mention today how much I don't like you?

Spike: You mighta let it slip in. Once or twice.

 Willow: Don't hit the horsies!

Buffy: We won't! (to Giles) Aim for the horsies.

  • Heroine Worshipper: Dawn raves over how Buffy saved her from last week's cliffhanger. Given that all Buffy did was let Glory get hit by a handy truck, Buffy is not so impressed by herself.
  • Hey, Wait!: Orlando's fellow Knights are signing him out of the mental wing. As they lead him off Dante says how easy that was, only for the nurse to cry out, "Hey wait!" Dante's pal draws a dagger from his sleeve -- but it's just that Dante has walked off with her pen.
  • Heroic Blue Screen of Death: So bad that Buffy's stuck like this till the next episode.
  • A House Divided: Seeing Ben is an outsider, Gregor tries to encourage him to kill the Key.

 Gregor: Dissention in the ranks -- never a good sign.

 Spike: Hello? You're driving one!

    • Glory kills Gregor with a hurled hubcap.

 Glory: Hey, it's Gregor! (kills him) Now it's not.

 Dawn: You're not fleeing. You're... moving at a brisk pace.

 Well, it always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment.

 Giles: I'm so proud of you. You're everything a Watcher... that I could have hoped for.

 Dawn: But there's a bright side.

Buffy: There is?

Dawn: At least things can't get any crazier. Right?

(an arrow flies through the window and hits the wall -- right next to Buffy)

Buffy: You know this is your fault for saying that.

    • And of course it doesn't stop there -- Xander says "Did we shake them?" just before a sword plunges through the roof.
  • There Was a Door: Not only Glory, but Buffy escaping from Glory.
  • The Reveal: Gregor reveals Glory's purpose, and that of the Key.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: Averted with Buffy killing humans for the first time, albeit in self-defense.
  • Traintop Battle: Buffy fights the Knights on top of a moving Winnebago.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Spike tells Dawn he should have nicked a Porsche which would have been both fast and just big enough for Buffy, Dawn and him.
  • Weirdness Censor: Well I guess the Knights of Byzantium could always pass themselves off as a medieval reenactment group.
