Thought of a couple more honorable mentions.
Spike in Get It Done ...a tussle like that - is good for the soul. Look out, nasties, Spike's found the missing piece of his puzzle!
Buffy, to Robin, re: Spike in Lies My Parents Told Me ...He's the strongest warrior we've got. She's not referring to his physical strength.

I gotta put in at least ONE.
Lies My Parents Told me
BUFFY (to Wood): He'll kill you. More importantly, I'll let him.
DIANE (to TV): And I'll help him.

Since I like all of my Buffy quotes equally, I can't really rank them. Instead, I'm listing them by Season. Also, there is no way I could list all of the quotes I like... because there are probably several for every episode ever aired. I'll just try to pick quotes not listed yet or that are jumping out at me today.
Season 1: Welcome to the Hellmouth - Mr. Flutie, "Welcome to Sunnydale! A clean slate, Buffy, that's what you get here. What's past is past. We're not interested in what it says on a piece of paper, even if it says... Whoa." (My response, which kinda started in the middle of his quote: "Yeah right, wait 'till ya get to the burning down part.")
Welcome to the Hellmouth - Buffy, "Okay, first of all, what's with the outfit? Live in the now, okay?" (My response: "Now there is a quote I can totally steal!")
Welcome to the Hellmouth - Cordelia, "God! What is your childhood trauma?!" (My response: "Man that girl is a B-I-T-C-H.")
Out of Mind, Out of Sight - Cordelia, "I can be surrounded by people and be completely alone. It's not like any of them really know me. I don't even know if they like me half the time. People just want to be in a popular zone. Sometimes when I talk, everyone's so busy agreeing with me, they don't hear a word I say." (My response: "Ok, I could learn to love this bitch.")
The Puppet Show - Snyder, "Kids today need discipline. That's an unpopular word these days, 'discipline'. I know Principal Flutie would have said, 'Kids need understanding. Kids are human beings.' That's the kind of woolly-headed, liberal thinking that leads to being eaten." (My response, watching now... "Oh the foreshadowning from he-who-became-the-Mayor's-last-meal.")
I Robot, You Jane - Giles, "Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower or a, a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences... long forgotten. Books smell. Musty and, and, and, and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer, is, uh, it... it has no, no texture, no, no context. It's, it's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then, then the getting of knowledge should be, uh, tangible, it should be, um... smelly." (My response: "Aww, he's so right. I hate computers! Not really, though.")
I Robot, You Jane - Buffy, "Let's face it: none of us are ever gonna have a happy, normal relationship." (My response: "Ain't that the truth.")
Season 2: School Hard - Spike, "Who do you kill for fun around here?" (My response: "Classic.")
Some Assembly Required - Xander, "Maybe not, but I'll tell you this: people don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream. What they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive." (My response: "God it sucks that he is so right.")
Halloween - Oz, "WHO is that girl?" (My response, "WHO is that guy! I love him.")
What's My Line, Part 2 - Exchange between Buffy, Spike, & Kendra, Buffy: "It's your lucky day, Spike." Kendra: "Two Slayers!" Buffy: "No waiting!" (My response: "Catchy!")
What's My Line, Part 2 - Oz, "The monkey's the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that? You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen. So, I'm wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like, is the hippo going, 'Hey, man, where are *my* pants? I have my hippo dignity!' And you know the monkey's just, (with a French accent) 'I mock you with my monkey pants!' And there's a big coup in the zoo." (My response: "Can I marry a fictional character?")
Innocence - Exchange between Buffy and the Judge, Judge: "You're a fool. No weapon forged can stop me." Buffy: "That was then. This is now." Judge: "What's that do?" Buffy: "Best present ever." (My response: I have none... just love that whole scene.)
Becoming, Part 2 - Exchange between Buffy and Angelus, Angelus: "Now that's everything, huh? No weapons... No friends... No hope. Take all that away... and what's left?" Buffy: "Me." (My response, "Take that you creep!")
Season 3: Anne - Buffy, "I'm Buffy. The Vampire Slayer. And you are...?" (My response: "There's my Buffy.")
The Wish - Exchange between Buffy & Giles, Buffy: "World is what it is. We fight. We die. Wishing doesn't change that." Giles: "I have to believe in a better world." Buffy: "Go ahead. I have to live in this one." (My response... none really. I just like it.)
Bad Girls - Faith, "Want. Take. Have." (I have no response on this one...sorry, just love it.)
Revelations - Faith, "Five by five." (My response: "What the hell?")
Earshot - Buffy, "You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle. And it's not just mine. Every single person down there is ignoring your pain because they're too busy with their own." (My response: "Damn straight.")
Graduation, Part 2 - Snyder, "This is not orderly. This is not discipline! You're on my campus buddy! And when I say I want quiet, I want-" (My response: "See! See! Eaten!")
Graduation, Part 2 - Buffy, "My brain isn't really functioning on the higher levels. It's pretty much: fire bad; tree pretty." (My response: "Heh. I like that.")
Season 4-6 (and 7, too) - Ok, I have way more than 10 and I could just keep going but I'll just leave it at these...'cuz, I gotta work today.
Wait... I have to include this:
Season 7 Chosen - Buffy, "From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand up, will stand up. Slayers… every one of us. Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?" (My response: "Awww.")

I like this one too.
Season 3 Anne
Demon: (To Buffy after beating down the other kids into meekly whispering 'Nobody') "Who are you?" Buffy: (To Demon) "I'm Buffy. The Vampire Slayer. And you are...?" Diane (to TV): "Toast!"

I had to add this one because this episode and Ford's struggle hit too close to home at the time.
Lie to Me - S2.7
Pretty heavy stuff for what seems like a 'bit of fluff' fantasy show about teenage angst. I was - Wow! Buffy's learning the "life's not fair" lesson we all need to deal with at one time or another.

Who out there didn't yell out... "efulgent"

I know this post is WAY too late, but I just wanted to share -- Becoming, Parts 1 & 2 were the first Buffy episodes I ever watched (Hawaii did not get any of the WB shows until some time into Buffy's second season -- almost as bad as living on some Survivor island) and I was immediately involved in the story and with all these characters I had never met before. I was enjoying everything about it (except Angel & Darla's flashback accents). So many lines made me chuckle out loud. However, my favorite bits of writing for the whole episode:
Joyce & Spike in the living room: (uncomfortable silence) me: LOL and beside myself with joy. Now THAT'S writing!
Joyce: Have we met? Spike (politely): Uh, you hit me with an axe one time, remember? 'Get the hell away from my daughter.' me: I GOTTA see THAT ep!
Miscellaneous other lines (so many to choose from, so I thought I'd try to pick the unusual ones):
From Phases Oz (upon waking up naked in the woods): Huh. me: Here's someone worth of Willow!
From Band Candy Snyder: Whoa, Summers! You drive like a spazz! me: hee hee (I even liked Snyder for a moment)
From Doppelgangland VampWillow: Bored now. me: scarily convincing as both evil AND Willow
From Pangs (so many to choose from) Spike: Do you know what happens to vampires who don't feed? Giles: I've always wondered about that. Spike: Living skeletons, mate. Like famine pictures from those dusty countries. Only not half as funny. me: how could someone so unrepentantly evil be so fun?
From the Yoko Factor Spike (to Adam): Wow. You're like Tony Robbins, if he were some scary Frankenstein-looking ... You're EXACTLY like Tony Robbins! me: hah! Spike sure does live in the now.
From The Weight of the World Spike: Now this is going to be worth it. (Smacks Xander) Xander & Spike: OW! me: Spike & Xander's best buddy moment.
From Gone Spike: Hey! That's cheating! me: Whoo Hoo Buffy!
From Entropy Anya: Suddenly I'm happy. I'm singing in the shower and doing my sexy dance. Spike (nods in complete agreement, then embarassed): I -- have no dance. me: when did it get so hot in here?
From End of Days Andrew (to Anya -- who is the perfect woman): So, wheelchair fight? me: Wheelchair Fight!
So many more...I miss BtVS.

It's never too late to join in the fun. ;D Your post reminded me of some great stuff I hadn't even thought of when I put up my own favorites (esp. Oz's "Huh." or Snyder's "You drive like a spaz!")

Love that quote from Pangs, along with "Julius Caesar didn't say, 'I came, I saw, I conquered, I felt really bad about it.' " And, yes he is great fun.

Wow! Late posters!
's Okay. I think the choices found were wonderful. For myself, the entire Buffy dialogue base is rife with favorites. Many of them have slipped into my general conversation.
My bad.

My bad. A little off topic here, sorry, but I, like Diane, have slipped many a Buffy line in my everyday conversations. One of my fave I use alot, (From Triangle) "That's insane troll logic." This applies to anything I don't agree with.

This applies to anything I don't agree with. I find that the only Buffy quote I can use in real life without scaring people is "Okay, I'm done now" whenever I think I've said too much. Any other quote seems to cause them all to edge away... I don't understand why

I don't understand why Yeah, well sometimes I just use the quote in my head, so as to not scare off the laypeople. But I have a BuffyBuddy and our conversations can be undecipherable if you are not a Buffy fan.

It's frightening to think how much dialog from BtVS and, to a lesser extent, AtS has made it into my everyday speech. "Bored now." "That's insane troll logic." "My bad." "...of the good." "What are you, deficient?" Not to mention all the Britspeak. Some of it (Bloody or Bugger) was already a part of my vocabulary thanks to Monty Python and Terry Pratchett, but now I'm calling people "luv" and complaining about "wankers."
