....

- Rupert Giles: No, unless I blocked it from my memory.
- Rupert Giles: Is that why you're always cleaning your glasses? So you don't have to see what we're doing?
....
- Rupert Giles: Besides, it's Halloween. It's the one time of the year that supernatural threats give it a well-deserved rest, as should you.

- Rupert Giles: Yes, well, if anything calamitous should happen, history suggests it'll happen to one of us.
....
- Buffy Summers: What happened to Xander?
- Rupert Giles: He kept poking me with his hook. I sent him over to Charmed Objects. With any luck, he'll pick the wrong one and end up in an alternative dimension inhabited by a 50-foot Giles that squishes annoying teeny pirates.
....
- Vampire: What is your malfunction, man?!
- Spike: (punches vampire) It's Halloween, you nit! We take the night off. Those are the rules.
