DEVIL IN A PROM DRESS - Spring has definitely sprung in Sunnydale as talk turns to all things Prom, and while Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Angel (David Boreanaz) grapple with the impossibility of a future together, she is determined on keeping a villain intent on crashing the Prom from ruining her friends' perfect high school moment. Meanwhile, a chance encounter between Xander (Nicholas Brendon) and Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) may have reopened their lines of communication, but he is saddled with a demonic Prom date (recurring guest star Emma Caulfield, "Beverly Hills, 90210"), while Cordy only has eyes for the new watcher Wesley (recurring guest star Alexis Denisof). Anthony Stewart Head, Alyson Hannigan and Seth Green also star. David Solomon directed the episode written by Marti Noxon.
Q U O T E S
Buffy: "Do I have funny bed hair or something?"
Angel: "Or something."
Buffy: "I guess we got a little carried away with the whole post-slayage nap thing. Ohhh, not good."
Angel: "Where you going?"
Buffy: "To go kill a cat on my head."
Angel: "No mirrors."
Buffy: "You know, this place really isn't girl-friendly. No mirrors, no natural light."
Angel: "I think you look perfect."
Buffy: "Oh, yeah, I really look... okay."
Angel: "The prom?"
Buffy: "End of high school rite-of-passage thingy. Think cotillion with spiked punch and electric slides."
Xander: "So, now, how did that work? Women would wish horrible things on their ex-boyfriends, you'd show up and make it happen."
Anya: "That's right. The power of the Wish made me a righteous sword to smite the unfaithful."
Xander: "Well, hey, good luck with that. Hope it works for you."
Anya: "You know, you can laugh, but I have witnessed a millennium of treachery and oppression from the males of the species, and I have nothing but contempt for the whole libidinous lot of them."
Xander: "Then why are you talking to me?"
Anya: "I don't have a date for the prom."
Anya: "Men are evil. Will you go with me?"
Xander: "One of us is very confused, and I honestly don't know which."
Anya: "Look I know you find me attractive. I've seen you looking at my breasts."
Xander: "Nothing personal, but when a guy does that, it just means his eyes are open."
Oz: "Anya, huh? Interesting choice."
Xander: "Choice is kind of a broad term for my situation. See, it's either Anya or the sock puppet of love for this boy. [as the sock puppet] 'I love you, Xander. I'll never leave you.'"
Willow: "Well, if Anya tries to get you killed, put me down for a big 'I told you so.'"
Xander: [puppet] "'Who's this Anya? Is she prettier than me?'"
Buffy: "Angel's going to lose it. But, not his soul. I mean he's going to lose it. His... it."
Joyce: "You don't drink? Beverages, I mean."
Angel: "No, I do. It's just the caffeine. It makes me jittery."
Joyce: "I'm here because I'm worried about you two. In general."
Angel: "What happened before, when I changed, it won't happen again."
Joyce: "That's not all I'm concerned about. I don't have to tell you that you and Buffy are from different worlds."
Angel: "No, you don't."
Joyce: "She's had to deal with a lot. Grew up fast. Sometimes even I forget that she's still just a girl."
Angel: "I'm old enough to be her ancestor."
Joyce: "She's just starting out in life."
Angel: "I know. I think about it more now that she's staying in Sunnydale."
Joyce: "Good. Because when it comes to you, Angel, she's just like any other young woman in love. You're all she can see of tomorrow. But I think we both know that there are some hard choices ahead. If she can't make them, you're gonna have to. I know you care about her. I just hope you care enough."
Buffy: "So it was blue and sort of short?"
Willow: "Not too short. Medium. And it had this weird sort of fringey stuff on its arms."
Giles: "What's that, a demon?"
Buffy: "A prom dress. That Will was thinking of getting. Can't you ever get your mind out of the Hellmouth?"
Xander: I myself am dipping into my road trip fund to procure a shiny new tux, so look for me to dazzle."
Giles: And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complection. Can we please talk about the Ascension?"
Angel: "I've been thinking... about our future. And the more I do, the more I feel like us, you and me being together, is unfair to you."
Buffy: "Is this about what the Mayor said? Because he was just trying to shake us up."
Angel: "He was right."
Buffy: "No. No, he wasn't. He's the bad guy."
Angel: "You deserve more. You deserve something outside of demons and darkness. You should be with someone who can take you into the light. Someone who can make love to you."
Buffy: "I don't care about that."
Angel: "You will. And children."
Buffy: "Children? Can you say jumping the gun? I kill my goldfish."
Angel: "Today. But you have no idea how fast it goes, Buffy. Before you know it, you'll want it all, a normal life."
Buffy: "I'll never have a normal life."
Angel: "Right, you'll always be a Slayer. But that's all the more reason why you should have a real relationship instead of this,
this freak show. I didn't mean that."
Buffy: "I'm gonna go."
Angel: "I'm sorry. Buffy, you know how much I love you. It kills me to say this."
Buffy: "Then don't. Who are you to tell me what's right for me? You think I haven't thought about this? "
Angel: "Have you, rationally?"
Buffy: "No. No, of course not. I'm just some swoony little schoolgirl, right?"
Angel: "I'm trying to do what's right here, okay? I'm trying to think with my head instead of my heart."
Buffy: "Heart? You have a heart? It isn't even beating!"
Angel: "Don't."
Buffy: "Don't what? Don't love you? I'm sorry. You know what? I didn't know that I got a choice in that. I'm never gonna change. I can't change. I want my life to be with you."
Angel: "I don't."
Buffy: "You don't want to be with me? I can't believe you're breaking up with me."
Angel: "It doesn't mean that I don't ..."
Buffy: "How am I supposed to stay away from you?"
Angel: "I'm leaving. After the Ascension, after it's finished with the Mayor and Faith. If we survive, I'll go."
Buffy: "Where?"
Angel: "I don't know."
Buffy: "Is this really happening?"
Willow: "Well, he's a fool. He's just a big, dumb, jerk person if you ask me. And he's a super-maxi-jerk for doing it right before the prom."
Buffy: "It's not his fault. He's 243 years old. He doesn't exactly get the prom."
Willow: "But he should, if ..."
Buffy: "Will, it's okay. You don't have to make him the bad guy."
Willow: "But that's the best friend's job, vilifying and grousing."
Buffy: "Usually, yeah. But he's right. I mean, I think, maybe in the long run, that he's right."
Willow: "Yeah, I think he is. I mean, I tried to hope for the best, but... I'm sorry. It must be horrible."
Buffy: "I think horrible is still coming. Right now, it's worse. Right now, I'm just trying to keep from dying."
Willow: "Oh Buffy."
Buffy: "I can't breathe, Will. I feel like I can't breathe."
Cordelia: "No dresses, no cellphone, no car. Everything has been taken away because Daddy made a little mistake on his taxes... for the last 12 years."
Wesley: "Let me guess. He was quiet, kept to himself, but always seemed like a nice young man."
Oz: "Well, he didn't seem the murderous type, anyway."
Buffy: "You guys are going to have a prom. The kind of prom that everyone should have. I'm going to give you all a nice, fun, normal evening if I have to kill every single person on the face of the earth to do it."
Xander: "Yay?"
Giles: "Angel's not taking you, is he?"
Buffy: "Angel's leaving me. He's leaving town."
Giles: "Oh, Buffy, I'm sorry. I don't really know what to say. Um, I understand that this sort of thing requires ice cream of some kind?"
Buffy: "Ice cream will come. First, I want to take out psycho boy."
Giles: "You sure?"
Buffy: "The great thing about being a Slayer, kicking ass is comfort food."
Anya: "So then this one time, this girl wished her ex would cannibalize himself. Even I had a hard time watching that, let me tell you."
Xander: "Cordelia! Wesley! My god in heaven, it's good to see you. How are you both? And details, please."
Wesley: "Very well, thank you."
Cordelia: "Yes, thank you."
Xander: "It looks good on you."
Cordelia: "Well, duh."
Jonathan: "We have one more award to give out. Is Buffy Summers here tonight? Did she, um... This is actually a new category. First time ever. I guess there were a lot of write-in ballots, and, um, the prom committee asked me to read this. 'We're not good friends. Most of us never found the time to get to know you, but that doesn't mean we haven't noticed you. We don't talk about it much, but it's no secret that Sunnydale High isn't really like other high schools. A lot of weird stuff happens here.'"
Students: "Zombies! Hyena people! Snyder!"
Jonathan: "'But, whenever there was a problem or something creepy happened, you seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you, or helped by you at one time or another. We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history. And we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class, offers its thanks, and gives you, uh, this. It's from all of us, and it has written here, 'Buffy Summers, Class Protector.'"
Welsey: "Mr. Giles. I'd like your opinion. While the last thing I want to do is muddle bad behavior in front of impressionable youth, I wonder if asking Miss Chase to dance would..."
Giles: "For God's sake, man, she's eighteen. And you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about."
Wesley: "Right, then. Thanks for that."
Giles: "You did good work tonight, Buffy."
Buffy: "And I got a little toy surprise."
Giles: "I had no idea that children en masse could be gracious."
Buffy: "Every now and then, people surprise you."
Giles: "Every now and then."
Buffy: "I never thought you'd come."
Angel: "It's a big night. I didn't want to miss it. It's just tonight. It doesn't mean that I ..."
Buffy: "I know. I mean, I understand."
Angel: "Dance with me?"
