Cordelia Chase : [after another murder] All I can think is, "It could have been me."
Xander Harris : We can dream.
-
[Giles is in charge of the school talent show]
Buffy Summers : Giles, into every generation is born one who must run the annual talentless show. You cannot escape your destiny.
Rupert Giles : If you had any shred of decency, you would have participated or at least, um... helped.
Buffy Summers : Nah! I think I'll take on your traditional role... and watch.
Xander Harris : And mock.
Willow Rosenberg : And laugh.
-
Xander Harris : Does anybody else feel like they've been Keyser Soze'd?
-
Rupert Giles : It was... Emily.
Willow Rosenberg : Emily. Dancer Emily?
[Giles nods]
Xander Harris : Oh, man. I hate this school!
Rupert Giles : It must have happened just after... dress rehearsal. There was a cross-county meet at Melville. She never showed up for it.
Buffy Summers : Vampire?
Rupert Giles : I think not.
Buffy Summers : Giles, say what happened.
Rupert Giles : Her heart was removed.
Willow Rosenberg : Yikes!
Buffy Summers : Does that mean anything to you? Besides *eww*?
Rupert Giles : [sighs] There is demons which feeds off human hearts, but...
[shrugs]
Buffy Summers : [as a knife goes into evidence bag] But demons have claws and teeth.
Xander Harris : They got no use for a big ol' knife.
Rupert Giles : Which more than likely makes our murderer...
Buffy Summers : Human.
Xander Harris : Did I mention that I hate this school?
Willow Rosenberg : So, Emily was killed by a regular human person?
Rupert Giles : The evidence certainly points thatr way.
Buffy Summers : No. Wait. I'm not buying it, guys. Remember the Hellmouth? Mystical activity is totally right here. This to me says: demon.
Rupert Giles : I'd like to think you're right. A demon is a creature of... evil - pure and very simple. A person driven to kill is - is, uh, it's more complex.
Willow Rosenberg : The creep factor is also heightened. It could be anyone. It could be me.
[the guys look at her funny]
Willow Rosenberg : It's not, though.
Rupert Giles : Demon or no, we have some investigation to do. I suggest we start with your talent show compatriots.

Buffy Summers : [re their punishment, obligatory performances in talent show] What am I gonna do? Slay vampires on stage?
Willow Rosenberg : [brightly] Maybe in a funny way.
Xander Harris : Willow, you can do stuff. Uh, the piano.
Buffy Summers : You play?
Willow Rosenberg : A little.
Buffy Summers : That's cool. You could accompany us and we could attempt to sing.
Willow Rosenberg : [tremulous] Oh. In front of other people? Then... No, I don't play.
[shakes her head]
Xander Harris : Whatever happened to corporal punishment?
