You keep pretending, but you just can’t hide.”

Buffy: “This is how many apocalypses for us now?”

Giles: “Oh, well… uh… six at least. Feels like a hundred”

Joss Whedon talks Ripper

AVC: But we should give up on that Giles spin-off, Ripper, right? Come on.

JW: Oh yeah, totally. [Laughs.] No, the thing about Ripper—the essence of it—is that the BBC came to me at one point like, “It doesn’t have to be Ripper. It can just be [Anthony Stewart Head], and there’s magic, and he’s Tony, cuz he’s awesome.” And that’s the thing: For some reason, he keeps getting sexier every year. That’s not happening to me! I’m like, “What are you doing?” And that story was always about a mature guy who’s lived, and about the choices he’s made. So you could make that now, or you could make it 10 years from now. And I’ve tortured Tony more than any other living human with, “We’re definitely gonna do this!” Because I thought we were. He’s working so much, though, I’d feel too guilty. But that’s the thing with Ripper: It doesn’t go away in my head because he’s still right for it, and he could still bring it.

Wesley: “Find anything?”

Giles: “Six course banquet of nothing with a scoop of sod-all as a palette cleanser.”

Cordelia: “Nobody told me I was supposed to bring a gift. I was out of the loop

on gifts.”

Giles: “It’s traditional among… um, people.”

“Cordelia, have you actually ever heard of tact?”
