Line 41:
* [[Above Good and Evil]]: Buffy calls out Ford on his double-crossing lies, but he merely shrugs, "Everybody lies."
* [[Arc Words]]: Giles' denouement is darkly ironic considering the events to come. This episode begins the metamorphosis of ''Buffy'' from fairly harmless teenage fun to something far more serious, continuing through "Surprise/Innocence," "Passion," and finally both parts of "Becoming."
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Arson, Murder and Wearing a Cheap Costume]]: Buffy lecturing "Diego" and the other cultists. "You're going to die! And the only hope you have of surviving this is to get out of this pit right now and ''my God'' could you have a dorkier outfit?"
{{quote| '''Ford:''' Gotta back her up on this one, D. You look like a big ninny.}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Julia Lee's character Chantarelle will later appear in episode 3.1 titled Anne, where she will go by the name Lily. Her character, in this episode and in episode 3.1, consistently has identity issues (shown through her third name change when she crosses over onto the Buffy spin-off ''Angel'').
Line 58:
* [[Building Is Welding]]: The entrance to the Sunset Club.
* [[The Cavalry Arrives Late]]: Angel, Willow, and Xander arriving just as the threat's ended. Buffy remarks they're "just in time." (Though her weary tone suggests she's glad to see them, nonetheless.)
* [[Card
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' It'd be simpler if I could just hate him. I think he wanted me to. I think it made it easier for him to be the villain of the piece. Really, he was just scared.}}
* [[Cargo Cult]]: Buffy lampshades this by shouting "This is not the mothership" at the club-goers.
Line 67:
* [[Coincidental Broadcast]]: Buffy noting a photo of Drusilla among Giles' research materials.
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Cordy giving her own spin on the French bread famine.
{{quote| '''Cordelia:''' I just don't see why everyone's always picking on Marie Antoinette. I can ''so'' relate to her. She worked really hard to look that good, and people [[
'''Xander:''' I think you mean ''oppressed''. }}
* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Oreos in apple juice.
Line 85:
* [[Dresses the Same]]: Angel and a vampire groupie, to the former's embarrassment.
* [[Driven to Villainy]]: The injustice of his life ending so early was the impetus to Ford's evil. Contrary to what he says, however, Buffy insists that he ''does'' have a choice (albeit not a good one), and that nothing he says will make mass murder okay.
* [[Dude, Where's My Reward?]]: Ford sticks his chin out and declares he fulfilled his end of the bargain, and Spike sneers that that's true. This is one of the series' most ambiguous moments.
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: Ford isn't evil so much as he is misguided, believing that it would be better to live as a vampire than to die riddled with tumors.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: During the vampire feeding Buffy recovers, captures Dru and [[Human Shield|holds a stake to her heart]]. She forces Spike to let the humans go; rather than let his lover be staked he does as the Slayer demands.
* [[Exact
** Marvin overhearing the Scoobies in the club.
* [[Exact Words]]: The lost boy telling Dru that he's not supposed to talk to people. Dru starts to snarl that she's not a person, but Angel spoils her hunt.
Line 108:
** The final exchange in the graveyard sets the tone for the remainder of Season Two. As you grow up things become more complicated; It's not as clear who's your ally and who's your enemy anymore.
* [[Forgotten Friend New Foe]]: Practically [[Necessary Weasel|spelled out in neon]] over Ford's head, particularly his knowledge that Buffy is the slayer. It all seems too convenient, so the story is quick to unmask the character's evil intentions.
* [[Get Out!]] / [[Mercy Lead]]: Angel offering Drusilla a one-time only opportunity to take Spike and clear out of town.
* [[Giggling Villain]]: Ford, though he ends up [[Definitely Just a Cold|hacking and coughing]] from the illness.
* [[Grave Marking Scene]]: Buffy laying roses on Ford's grave while waitng to see if he rises.
Line 114:
* [[Half Truth]]: Ford observing that Angel looks older than Buffy, to which Xander answers, "You're not wrong." Buffy introduces them, and Ford exclaims that Angels hand is cold. Xander: "You're not wrong."
** Buffy apologizing for beeping Giles during his date, and Giles telling her she did the right thing, a little too enthusiastically. Miss Calendar picks up on that, and says she thought monster trucks would be a change of pace, to which Giles mutters, "It was a change."
* [[Hey, Wait!]]: Willow very-obviously acting jumpy around Ford. Buffy tells her to "'fess up", then accuses her of drinking too much caffeine. Willow gives a spastic fake laugh.
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: Spike and his gang get trapped in the bomb shelter, so can't chase after Buffy and the others.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Angel railing on about how these kids don't know anything about vampires. "What they are, how they live, how they dress!" At that moment, a dude dressed in exactly the same outfit as Angel walks by. Angel [[Ahem|ahems]], and Xander and Willow share a smirk.
Line 121:
** Giles saying he's going out that evening, and giving Buffy Miss Calendar's beeper number, in case she needs "study help." Buffy breaks the news that Ford knows she's the Slayer.
{{quote| '''Giles''': You are not, by any chance, betraying your secret identity just to impress, um, cute boys, are you?}}
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Spike tearing off Chanterelle's choker, presumably for Dru to wear instead.
* [[Idiot Ball]] / [[Parental Abandonment]]: Wow, that's some terrible mom to leave her kid alone so late.
* [[I'll Kill You!]]: "Isn't this exactly how you imagined it? You tell me how you've suffered and I feel sorry for you. Well, I do feel sorry for you, and if those vampires come in here and start feeding, I'll '''kill you myself!'''"
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: Ford wants to become a vampire so badly that he's willing to face off with the Slayer ''and'' Spike's entire gang. Now that's what I call serious dedication to one's career goals.
* [[Implausible Deniability]]: Chanterelle noticing that Willow and her friends are newbies.
Line 130:
{{quote| "Uh, honestly, I've ''always'' been interested in, uh...monster trucks."}}
* [[Impossibly Tacky Clothes]]: Diego seems to be aiming for "[[Man of Wealth and Taste]]", hence the [[Bow Ties Are Cool|bowtie]], frilled shirt, and silk cape which looks like it was stolen from a failed LARPer.
* [[In
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Angel stops Drusilla from attacking a boy.
* [[It Has Only Just Begun]]:
Line 139:
** Buffy moped over Ford for months, and would sit in her room listening to "[[Songs of Solace|I Touch Myself]]" by the Divinyls. She wisely shifts gears by saying she had no idea [[A Date With Rosie Palms|what the song was about]].
* [[It Never Gets Any Easier]]
* [[
{{quote| '''Willow:''' I-it's probably nothing.<br />
'''Angel''': [[Genre Savvy|That'd be nice]]. }}
Line 149:
* [[Leave Him to Me]]: When the vampires burst into the Sunset Club, Spike orders his mooks to kill the others, but to leave the Slayer for him.
* [[Lies to Children]]: Giles on life.
{{quote| "Yes, it's terribly simple. [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|The good guys are always stalwart and true]], [[Card
* [[Linked List Clue Methodology]]: Willow expositing that all her searches on Ford turned up was an address, the "Sunset Club."
* [[Logical Weakness]]: Ford knew he couldn't defeat a Slayer with strength and so devised a way to lock her in his club. Once the doors are shut, not even someone with supernatural strength can break out.
* [[Love Confession]]: Although it's been apparent for some time, Buffy actually says outright that she loves Angel.
* [[May
* [[The Movie Buff]]: Ford mapped out his entire story as if it were a movie, from the cheesy lines he makes Spike recite, or in his expectation that Buffy will completely understand and perhaps even accept his plan once she learns of his condition.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Angel pointing out that Ford's lack of records and paper trail is incriminating enough. Xander says he agrees with "Dead Boy", and Angel snits not to call him that.
Line 164:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: The Oreos. Also, Willow slyly saying that Ford was telling them about the "ninth-grade swimsuit competition."
{{quote| '''Buffy''' The more people you tell, the more people I have to kill. }}
* [[Not Evil, Just Misunderstood]]: Chantarelle welcoming the Scoobies to her posse, saying it's cool they're interested in "the Lonely Ones." Willow isn't familiar with the term, but a bored Angel reappears and says that she's referring to vampires.
{{quote| '''Xander:''' Oh! We usually call them the 'nasty pointy bitey-ones'."<br />
'''Chantarelle:''' So many people have that misconception. But They Who Walk With the Night are not interested in harming ''anyone''! }}
Line 178:
* [[Passing Notes in Class]]: Buffy and Willow are amusingly passing notes in class discussing what Buffy saw on the roof.
* [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]: Angel flatly calling Chantarelle stupid. Hurt, she chides him for being "confrontational" and says that "other viewpoints than yours may be valid, you know."
* [[Pre
* [[Pretender Diss]]: After Angel insults one of the vampire worshipers he complains that they know nothing about what vampires are; how they act, how they dress...cue a vampire fanboy walking past dressed exactly like Angel.
* [[Promise Me You Won't X]]: Willow's happy to invite Angel in, but only if he promises not to bite her.
