The 1120 year old ex-demon is quite the quotable little character, dont ya think?
What are some of your favourite Anya quotes?
It's really hard for me to narrow them all down, but some of my favourites aaaaare:
I Was Made To Love You
XANDER: Who's that?
ANYA: Oh, that girl. Tara and I met her. She speaks with a strange evenness and selects her words a shade too precisely.
XANDER: Well, some of us like that kind of thing in a girl.
Veeeery long, but ya gotta love it!
Shadow
ANYA: We've done just about enough making things worse for one day, haven't we?
Everyone looks guilty except Buffy, who looks confused.
BUFFY: Why? What do you mean?
XANDER: Uh, nothing. Anya broke a ... bippity boppity boo. A thing. Don't worry about it.
ANYA: I did not! I didn't break-
GILES: Anya, Buffy doesn't need to hear about your...clumsiness right now.
ANYA: (sighs) My clumsiness. I mean, that is so- (Willow and Xander give her meaningful looks. She looks at Buffy)...like...me...Slippery, slippery...butterfingers.
BUFFY: (not fooled) What happened?
GILES: Nothing to concern you, uh-
BUFFY: Giles!
GILES: (sighs) The, uh, (embarrassed) demon woman was here, the one who attacked you.
Buffy looks alarmed.
WILLOW: It's no biggie, she-she just got an amulet and a bloodstone.
ANYA: That can create a monster.
WILLOW: Okay, biggie.
BUFFY: My god, are you guys okay though? I mean, did - no one got hurt, right?
GILES: Oh no, thankfully, no, uh, no violence to speak of.
BUFFY: Okay, so, that's good...(not understanding why everyone looks guilty) How did she get away with this bad mojo stuff?
Pause. The others look at each other in embarrassment.
ANYA: (whispering) Giles sold it to her.
Triangle
GILES: Dealing with customers requires a certain...finesse...
ANYA: I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom! I can *completely* lie to the health inspector, I can, ya know, distract him with coy smiles and bribe him with money *and* goods!
Into the Woods
ANYA: That's so very humorous. Make fun of the ex-demon! I can just hear you in private. (talks to the chicken foot) 'I dislike that Anya. She's newly human and strangely literal.'
WILLOW: (frowns) Anya, I don't say that. No one says that. No one talks that way.
ANYA: There's nothing wrong with my idea anyway. I've been very good for this store. (frowns) If it wasn't for me, Giles would be a terrified old man staring at a quarterly tax statement and wetting himself.
GILES: (insulted) I say, that's an exaggeration.
WILLOW: Anya, you've helped out a lot, but I have too.
ANYA: (opening another jar) Yes, I forgot about all the vigorous sitting around.
XANDER: Anya, you can back off a little. You get paid. Willow's doing this on her own time.
Willow smiles and nods triumphantly.
ANYA: (with a fake smile) I'm sorry, Willow. Thank you for making time in your busy life to come in here and get in the way of mine.
XANDER: (annoyed) Anya, play nice.
ANYA: You know, fine, take her side instead of mine (Xander sighs, puts his hands over his face) even though I'm the one who sleeps with you and feeds you, bathes you...
The Real Me
ANYA: Oh, crap. Look at this! Now I'm burdened with a husband and several tiny pink children, more cash than I can reasonably manage...
XANDER: That means you're winning.
ANYA: Really?
XANDER: Yes. Cash equals good.
ANYA: Ooh! (claps her hands in excitement) I'm so pleased. Can I trade in the children for more cash?
Urgh! There are too many good quotes! I must stop, before I mention everything she's ever said!
