I laughed for five minutes when Willow called herself "Cletus The Slack-Jawed Yokel." In fact, I still laugh whenever I hear it. That is amazing..I can't remember when she said it. I remember the LINE, just...I have it wrong in my head. I thought Xander said it, and - what ep was that?

Does anyone know where I can get dialogue from Angel. What I'm looking for is from Season 1 when Spike comes to LA for the Ring of Amara. It's the opening scene where he's watching Angel save a damsel and he's playing out the scene with dialogue. Betsy, the Angel Script sites are listed on the new links thread on the Main board. I forget the title of that episode, though. I'll look and see if I recognize it, then come back and edit this post with the info.
LATER: It's "In the Dark," and Spike's dialogue in question goes as follows:
Spike in high voice: “How can I thank you, you mysterious, black-clad hunk of a night thing? (low voice) No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I’m just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. (Rachel steps closer to Angel, and Angel steps back warding her off with his hands) No, not the hair! Never the hair! (high voice) But there must be someway I can show my appreciation. (low voice) No, helping those in need’s my job, - and working up a load of sexual tension, and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough! (high voice) I understand. I have a nephew who is gay, so… (low voice) Say no more. Evil’s still afoot! And I’m almost out of that Nancy-boy hair-gel that I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!” Spike lights a cigarette while he watches Angel lead Rachel away. Spike: “Go on with you. Play the big, strapping hero while you can. You have a few surprises coming your way. - The ring of Amarra – a visit from your old pal Spike, - and, oh yeah, - your gruesome, horrible death.” Smiles.
The Angel Transcript site is: studiesinwords.de/angel.html
Even Later: That's what comes of working over a post without reading the intervening posts. Good for you, David--you'd already given Betsy this info. Redundant much?

I watched the Spike interview, and unlike Spring I was actually able to hear the words. It is probably one of the best supplementary produced videos that accompanies the DVDs, the other being the one they did on Oz, also in S4. In both cases, they interview Joss and the actor as well as significant others in the character's development, taking it all the way back to when the actor tried out for the role, transitional moments in the character's development, and lots of interesting asides. It's entirely possible that the Spike fans here who thought they knew everything there was to know about the character and the actor who plays him might just learn a bit more. Very well put together. Two thumbs up! I sure hope that's true....that there's something there about him I don't already know. This is the trouble with obsessing - eventually you run out of new obsess material...

Someone asked about when Wesley's transformation from the ponce he was on Buffy to the stud he is now really began. In my mind, it was when Faith came to Los Angeles, in the Five by Five/Sanctuary crossover that followed This Year's Girl/Who Are You on Buffy. Wesley had to demonstrate a lot of strength going through Faith's torturing of him, and also when he chose to side with Angel instead of dutifully helping the Watchers assassinate Faith, in those moments he really started showing a set of kahunas he had rarely displayed before. After that, there was a hint of something more grounded about him. He more and more began acting like the Wesley we know now, so Faith's visit was a major turning point for him.
Furthermore, when he turned on Angel and the others hoping to protect Connor from Angel only to be double-crossed by Holtz, that really changed things as well. Faith made him strong, but the incident with Connor brought forth his dark side.

That is amazing..I can't remember when she said it. I remember the LINE, just...I have it wrong in my head. I thought Xander said it, and - what ep was that? That was in Lover's Walk as the Scoobies discussed their SAT scores: WILLOW: This is a nightmare. This is... My world is spinning. XANDER: It's not that bad, Willow, really. WILLOW: 740? Verbal?! I'm-I'm... pathetic! Illiterate! I'm Cletus, the slack-jawed yokel. XANDER: That's right. And the fact that your 740 verbal closely resembles my combined scores in no way compromises your position as the village idiot. WILLOW: I just... Where did I go wrong? XANDER: You did amazing, Willow. As usual. CORDELIA: You guys get your scores? XANDER: Cordelia! Willow was very sad by her academic failure. How did you do? (snags her report, reads) This is not good. CORDELIA: What's not good? XANDER: Well, I'm just worried it may hurt my standing as campus stud when people find out I'm dating a brain. CORDELIA: Please. I have *some* experience in covering these things up. OZ: (to Willow) Well, I can see why you'd be upset. That was my sarcastic voice. XANDER: You know, it sounds a lot like your regular voice. OZ: I've been told that. But we should celebrate, do something. CORDELIA: Like, the four of us? XANDER: A double date! It could have potential. WILLOW: Buffy! Hey! Did you get your SAT scores? XANDER: By the look on your face, I'm guessing you and I are gonna be manning the drive-through window side by side. BUFFY: They're just test scores, right? What do they really mean, anyway? WILLOW: 1430! Buffy, you kicked ass! (more calmly) Okay, so academic achievement gets me a little excited. XANDER: Buff, that's amazing. CORDELIA: Let me see that. OZ: Yeah. With scores like that, you can apply pretty much anywhere you want. WILLOW: Buffy, this could, like, change your whole future. BUFFY: The thought had occurred to me. XANDER: Then why the sour puss? BUFFY: I don't know. I guess... my future. I never really thought about it. I wasn't even sure I was going to have one. CORDELIA: Well, I think this is great! Now you can leave and never come back! Well, I mean that in a positive way. Get out of Sunnydale. That's a good thing. What kind of moron would ever wanna come back here?

"How can I thank you, you mysterious black-clad hunk-of-a-night-thing?" "No need, little lady. Your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a bad-ass vampire. But love, and a pesky curse, defanged me. And now, I'm just a big fluffy puppy with bad teeth. No! Not the hair! Never the hair." "But there must be some way I can show my appreciation." "No, helping those in need's my job. And working up a load of sexual tension and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough." "I understand. I have a nephew who's gay, so..." "Say no more. Evil's still afoot. And I'm almost out of that Nancy-boy hair gel I like so much. Quickly! To the Angel-mobile! Away!" Thanks Dave. I thought this was the funniest when I viewed it. I was cracking up so much when I was watching my DVD, I about fell out of bed.

Thanks Dave. I thought this was the funniest when I viewed it. I was cracking up so much when I was watching my DVD, I about fell out of bed. Oh I agree -- The part about being a big fluffy puppy with bad teeth never fails to have me on the floor laughing until tears start. It's just a great line.

You remind me of a condom ad on the radio, where they compare sex without their brand of condom ("Thanks. I'll call you sometime" spoken in a girl's voice) to sex with their condom ("Here's my phone number, pager number, cell, fax, GPS tracking coordinates, and take this carrier pigeon, just in case ...."). For some reason in that last graph, I wouldn't have been surprised if you mentioned a carrier pigeon. So Spring...how many times have you been compared to a condom ad? Not a lot. I'd wager.

So Spring...how many times have you been compared Not a lot. I'd wager. Ok, you're right -- I didn't mean to make it sound as if Spring was a condom, or even looked like one, or that she might enjoy spending her off hours slathered in spermicidal gel ..... but apparently I did.

Thanks. I asked cause I was at my local software store today and wanted to pick up a copy of Adobe Photoshop (or whatever its called) - my laptop came with MGI Photosuite and I don't like it. Anyway, they were out, but just the upgrades were like $150.... Boring story, I know. Just....rattling on.

All caught up. Phew. Considering what I just sorted through, I now feel really sorry for all of you, because I don't have to read any of my posts, and I know there are a lot of them. Maybe I should be sympathetic and scale back? Naahhhh..... ;D You don't read your own posts? I always read mine...but I'm a glutton for punishment.
