EPISODES AND QUOTES
-------------------------------------

THE FRESHMAN
Buffy and Willow begin life at UC Sunnydale and Xander moves into his parent’s basement. Buffy fights a strong female vampire called Sunday.
There is a nice piece of continuity in this episode, as Buffy picks up the phone and there appears to no one on the other end. In actual fact, it is Angel, and we see him make the call in “City Of..” the first episode of his spin-off series

QUOTES
-------------
Vamp: “Does this sweater make me look fat?”
Sunday: “No. The fact that you're fat makes you look fat. That sweater just makes you look purple.”

Giles: “I'm not supposed to have a private life?”
Buffy: “No. Because you're very, very old and it's gross.”

Xander “Let me tell you something, when it's dark and I'm all alone and I'm scared or freaked out or whatever, I always think, 'What would Buffy do?' You're my hero. Ok, sometimes when it's dark and I'm all alone I think, 'What is Buffy wearing?'”

LIVING CONDITIONS
Buffy becomes convinced that her annoying roommate Kathy, is evil and needs to be killed.
Willow moves in as Buffy’s new roommate.
Buffy meets Parker.

QUOTES
-------------
Buffy: “So then Kathy's like, ‘It's share-time.’ And I'm like, ‘Oh yeah? Share this!’”(Buffy punches the air a few times.)
Oz: “So either you hit her or you did your wacky mime routine for her.”
Buffy: “Well, I didn't do either, actually. But she deserved it, don't ya think?”
Oz: “Nobody deserves mime, Buffy.”

Buffy: “Kathy's evil. I'm an evil fighter. It's simple. I'm going to have to kill her.”

Xander: “Wait, are you saying that Buffy's been doing a Linda Blair on us because Kathy's been sucking her soul?”
Giles: “I believe so, yes.”
Willow: “So Buffy was right all along. Later on, big remorse.”

THE HARSH LIGHT OF DAY
Harmony (who is now a vampire) returns to Sunnydale with a new boyfriend – Spike.
Spike is searching in Sunnydale for ‘The Gem of Amara’ the vampire Holy grail that will make him invincible.
Buffy sleeps with Parker.
Anya returns and wants to know where her and Xander’s relationship is going.

QUOTES
-------------
Anya: “I like you. You're funny and you're nicely shaped, and frankly it's ludicrous to have these interlocking bodies and not... interlock. Please remove your clothing now.”

Buffy: “So what I'm wondering is: does this always happen? Sleep with a guy and he goes all evil?”

Spike (to Harmony): “I love syphilis more than you.”

Buffy: “And you with Harmony. What'd you do? Loose a bet?”

Spike: “Birds singing, squirrels making lots of rotten little squirrels. Sun beaming down in a nice, non-fatal way. It's very exciting, I can't wait to see if I freckle.”

FEAR ITSELF
It’s Halloween which never bodes well for the scoobies.
A ‘haunted house’ style frat party, turns into a real life house of horrors.
Buffy accidentally summons forth Gachnar, the fear demon – who turns out to be tiny so she simply stamps on him.
Anya reveals her fear of bunnies.

QUOTES
-------------
Xander: “I don’t know, I was going for ferocious, scary, but it’s coming out more dryly sardonic.”
Willow: “It does appear to be mocking you with its eye holes.”

Buffy: “Will, let’s be realistic here. Okay, your basic spells are usually only fifty-fifty.”
Willow: “Oh yeah? Well, - so is your face!”

Xander: “Who's the little fear demon? Come on, who's the little fear demon?”
Giles: “Don't taunt the fear demon.”
Xander: “Why? Can he hurt me?”
Giles: “No, it's just... tacky.”

Giles: “I should have translated the Gaelic inscription under the illustration of Gachnar.”
Buffy: “What’s it say?”
Giles: “Actual size!”

BEER BAD
I hated this episode and think that it is not only the worst episode in season four, but also the worst episode ever!
Xander has a job in the college pub, where Buffy is busily drowning her Parker sorrows with some college boys. The bar manager is spiking the beer with something that causes those who are drinking it to return to caveman (and woman!) mentality.
Oz sees Veruca’s band for the first time in this episode, and Willow confronts nasty Parker.
A stupid episode, with some terrible Neanderthal acting by Sarah Michelle Gellar.

QUOTES
-------------
Willow: “And as my best friend you need to stop thinking about Parker. He's no good. There are men, better men, wherein the mind is stronger than the penis.”
Xander: “Nothing can defeat the penis!”

Willow: “I wanted to give you a piece of my mind. I'm tired of you men and your man-ness. Buffy's really hurting right now. In fact she's in need of a big mental tidy. Parker how could you do this to her?”
Parker: “Oh, I don't get what you mean. What did I do?”
Willow: “She shared something very intimate with you. And you act like it's nothing more than a bag of some kind of snack food.”

WILD AT HEART
Oz finds himself attracted to Veruca who turns out to be a were-wolf as well.
Veruca tries to kill Willow but Oz-wolf kills Veruca.
Oz realises that the wolf is in him all the time – not just for three nights a week and says a heartbreaking farewell to Willow.
Spike returns briefly in this episode, but is ‘zapped’ and captured by some soldier guys.

QUOTES
-------------
Veruca: “You have a cage?”
Oz: “Don't you?”
Veruca: “Uh, yeah. Has a little wheel with a plastic ball And a cute little bell in it. God! Somebody's domesticated the hell out of you.”

Giles: “You've felt that way yourself, And you got through it.”
Buffy: “Yeah. I ran away and went to hell and then got through it. I'm kind of hoping she doesn't use me as a model.”

Oz: “Veruca was right about something. The wolf is inside me all the time, and I don't know where that line is anymore between me and it. And until I figure what that means, I shouldn't be around you … or anybody.”
Willow: “Well, that could be a problem, 'cause people... kind of a planetary epidemic.”

THE INITIATIVE
Spike is being held captive in a high tech underground facility. We discover that Riley is part of the soldier team and that Professor Walsh is in charge. The organisation is called The Initiative and it captures and experiments on ‘hostiles’ (demons.)
Spike escapes The Initiative and goes in search of Buffy. He finds Willow and attempts to bite her, but every time he tries, he suffers excruciating pain in his head. It transpires that The Initiative have implanted a chip in Spike’s head that render him incapable of killing or hitting.
Riley realises that he likes Buffy and asks Willow to help him get close to her.

QUOTES
-------------
Buffy: “You know for someone who teaches human behaviour, you might try showing some.”
Prof. Walsh: “It's not my job to coddle my students.”
Buffy: “You're right. A human being in pain has nothing to do with your job.”

Willow: “Ok, say that I help, and you start a conversation. It goes great. You like Buffy, she likes you. You spend time together, feelings grow deeper, and one day, without even realizing it, you find you're in love. Time stops, And it feels like the whole world's made for you two, and you two alone, until the day one of you leaves and rips the still-beating heart from the other, who's now a broken, hollow, mockery of the human condition. “
Riley: “Yep, that's the plan.”

Spike: “I don't understand. This sort of thing's never happened to me before.”
Willow: “Maybe you were nervous.”
Spike: “I felt all right when I started. Let's try again…Ow! Oh! Ow! Damn it!”
Willow: “Maybe you're trying too hard. Doesn't this happen to every vampire?”
Spike: “Not to me, it doesn't!”

PANGS
Angel secretly arrives in Sunnydale to keep an eye on Buffy after Doyle had a vision about her in the Angel episode “Bachelor Party.”
Xander (while digging at work) accidentally releases ‘Hus’; the avenging spirit of the Chumash Indians.
Buffy tries to organise the perfect Thanksgiving while arguing with Willow and Giles over the best way to deal with Hus.
Spike arrives at Giles’ desperate for help now that he cannot feed. The gang tie him up until they can decide if he is really harmless.
Hus arrives with an army of Native American spirits. Angel joins in the fight from outside, and slips away without ever telling Buffy he was there…

QUOTES
-------------
Willow: “Are you sure we shouldn't be helping him?”
Giles: “No, I think perhaps we won't help the angry spirit with his rape and pillage and murder.”

Spike: “Look, I'm safe. I can't bite anyone. Willow, tell' em what I did.”
Willow: “You said you were going to kill me, then Buffy.”
Spike: “Yes, bad, but let's skip that part and get to the part where I couldn't bite you.”
Willow: “It's true. He had trouble performing.”

Spike: “I just can't take all this mamby-pamby boo-hooing about the bloody Indians.”
Buffy: “Uh, the preferred term..”
Spike: “You won. All right? You came in and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not going around saying, "I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it." The history of the world isn't people making friends. You had better weapons, and you massacred them. End of story.”

SOMETHING BLUE
Riley and Buffy go on a picnic together.
Willow, grieving over Oz, turns first to alcohol and then to magic to ease her pain. She casts a spell to have her will done, but the spell doesn’t go exactly as planned and Giles ends up blind, Buffy and Spike become engaged and Xander turns into a demon magnet.
D’Hoffryn (Anya’s old demon boss) summons Willow and invites her to become a vengeance demon. Willow declines the offer and returns in time to reverse the spell and save her friends.

QUOTES
------------
Giles: “Look, Spike - we have no intention of killing a harmless.. uh, creature.. but we have to know what's been done to you. We can't let you go until we're sure that you're .. impotent.”
Spike: “Hey!”
Giles: “Sorry, poor choice of words. Until we're sure you're, you're…”
Buffy: “Flaccid?”
Spike: “You are one step away, missy.”
Buffy: “Giles, help! He's going to scold me.”

Spike: “Well, I won't have you doin' mojo on me if you can't read properly. You might turn me into a stink beetle or what all.”
Giles: “It would be a generous ending for you, Spike.”

Buffy: “Spike and I are getting married!”
Xander: “How? What? How?”
Giles: “Three excellent questions.”

HUSH

QUOTES
--------------
Buffy: “I thought a professional demon chaser like yourself would have figured it out by now. - I’m the Slayer. - Slay-er? - Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? - You’re kidding! Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma The.”

Xander: “I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you’re not the big bad anymore, you’re not even the kind of naughty. You’re nothing but a waste of space - my space! And as much as I always got a big laugh watching Buffy kick your shiny white bum, as much as I know I can give you a little bum-kicking myself right now, I’m here to tell you something. You’re not even worth it.”

Xander: “Think of the happy. If we don't find what we're looking for, we're facing the apocalypse.”

QUOTES
-------------
Walsh: “We thought you were a myth.”
Buffy: “Well, you were myth-taken.”

Riley: “Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. It turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of apocalypse.”

Giles: “Twenty years I've been fighting demons. Maggie Walsh and her nancy ninja boys come in; six months later, demons are pissing themselves with fear. They never even noticed me.”

Giles: “I'm speaking English?”
Spike: “No, you're speaking Fyarl. I happen to speak Fyarl. And . . . by the way, why the hell are you suddenly a Fyarl demon? You just come over all demony this morning?”
Giles: “As a matter of fact, I did. Thanks to Ethan Rayne. You have to help me find him. He must undo this and then he needs a . . . good being killed.”

------------

Willow: “Well, what's their ultimate agenda? I mean, okay, yeah, they-they neuter vampires and demons. But then what? Are they gonna reintegrate them into society? Get them jobs as bagboys at Wal-Mart?”
Buffy: “Does Wal-Mart have bagboys?”

Giles: “Why should I help you?”
Spike: “Oh! Because I helped you! When you turned into that Fyarl demon, I helped you, didn't I?”
Giles: “And that was out of the, um, evilness of your heart?”
Spike: “Hell no. I made you pay me… You right bastard. (gives Giles money) That's all that's left. I spent the rest on blood and smokes, which I'll never see again. Ah, come on! Circle the wagons. Tend to the wounded here. No time for layabouts.

Buffy: “Professor Walsh? That simple little recon you sent me on — wasn't a raccoon. Turns out it was me, trapped in the sewers with a faulty weapon and two of your pet demons. If you think that's enough to kill me, you really don't know what a Slayer is. Trust me when I say you're gonna find out.”

Buffy: “What does my taste in men have to do with this?”
Spike: “Do you think Riley was out knitting booties for your future off-spring while Maggie was stringing you up?”

Forrest: “Riley, think about it. The professor is not stupid. If she tried to kill Buffy, maybe Buffy needed killing.”

Riley: “That's hostile seventeen.”
Spike: “No. I'm just a friend of Xander's... Bugger it. I'm your guy.”
Buffy: “This is Spike. He's um... it's a really long story. But he's not bad anymore!”
Spike: “Hey! What am I, a bleeding broken record? I'm bad! It's just... I can't bite anymore.”

Adam: “I've been thinking about the world. I wanted to see it. Learn it. I saw the inside of that boy and it was beautiful. But it didn't tell me about the world. It just made me feel. So now . . . I want to learn about me. Why I feel? What I am? So I came home. I'm a kinematically redundant, biomechanical demonoid. Designed by Maggie Walsh. She called me Adam and I called her mother.”

Faith in Buffy: "'Cause I can do anything I want, and instead I choose to pout and whine and feel the burden of Slayerness? I mean, I could be rich. I could be famous. I could have anything. Anyone. Even you, Spike. I could ride you at a gallop until your legs buckled and your eyes rolled up. I've got muscles you've never even dreamed of. I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you would beg me to hurt you just a little bit more. And you know why I don't? Because it's wrong."

Giles: "Um, if you are Buffy, then you will let me tie you up without killing me until we find whether you are telling the truth."
Buffy in Faith: "Giles, Faith has taken my body, and for all I know she's taken it to Mexico by now. I don't have time for bondage fun. Ask me a question, ask me anything."

Willow: “We have to go back in there.”

Xander: “Because Buffy and Riley are trapped.”
Anya: “So? She's the Slayer, he's a big soldier boy, what do they need you for?”

QUOTES
------------
Adam: “I didn't send for you, Spike.”
Spike: “Yeah, well...I'm not much the being-sent-for type. I'm much more the "I did my part, now get this chip out of my head" kind of guy.”

Giles: “Xander, just because this is never gonna work, there's no need to be negative.”

Giles: “Although your heroism has been slightly muted by the fact that you were helping Adam to start a war that would kill us all.”
Xander: “You probably just saved us so we wouldn't stake you right here.”

Tara: “You think you know...what you are ... what's to come. You haven't even begun.”

CONCLUSION
Season four is an important season with many changes for the scoobies.
Buffy learns to deal with college and a boyfriend who DOESN’T turn evil after you sleep with him.
Willow has her heart broken by Oz but then meets Tara and realises she is gay.
Xander moves into the basement and begins work.
Anya adjusts to life as a human.
Spike adjusts to life without human blood – the first steps on the road towards him regaining his soul.

This season contains some of my favourite episodes, ‘The Harsh Light of Day’, ‘Something Blue’ and ‘A New Man’ as well as what I consider to be the worst episode ever – ‘Beer Bad’.

However, on the whole, this DVD contains 22 episodes of excellent scripting, acting, and casting, with lots of action and plenty of humour – if you haven’t seen it yet, go and buy it, NOW!
