I think Emma Caufeilds performance in the body, was great expessially at the apartment it really moved me, I was crying, because that is the one think that i have been wondering my whole life.

Xander: How you doing? I know the feeling
Willow: I'm afraid I'm going to start to cry again.
Anya: Xander cried at the apartment, it was weird
Willow: Yea, it's a thing we do
Anya: What's going to happen?
Willow: Well I guess were going to meet them at the morgue
Tara: Giles said that he was going to go with Joyce and Buffy was going to the school to tell dawn.
Xander: God.
Tara: Do you know how to, how to get there?
Xander: Yea, It's at the hospital it's a wing; we do morgue time in the Scooby-gang.
Willow: I have to change
Xander: What else did Giles say?
Tara: Not a lot.
Xander: are they sure this was natural? I mean glory.
Tara: Giles was pretty sure that it wasn't her.
Xander: I mean, she says she was going to come after buffy's family.
Tara: I don't thin-
Xander: I mean we should be going after her, I mean she could have done it and covered her tracks
Willow: Why would she? She would want us to know.
Xander: I'll tell you what it is, It's the freaking doctors, I mean they just let her out you know, clean bill of health, dig a hole in your skull, here's a ban-aid, next!
Willow: Xander.
Xander: they should have checked her over, they should have had her in, we don't have enough monsters in this town the doctors gotta help them out.
Willow: Xander, I don't think it was, anyone, it just happened.
Xander: Things don't happen; I mean they don't just happen, somebody's I mean, somebody's got.
Willow: Ok lets go, come-on you and me, come-on.
Xander: You know I can't take you
Willow: Damn straight.
Anya: are we going to see the body?
Willow: What?
Anya: Are we going to be in the room with the dead body?
Willow: I dunno, no
Tara: But I guess we should take over patrolling and that
Xander: yea
Willow: oh yea
Tara: for however long
Willow: I can't wear this, I really should have the other, Joyce liked it so...
Tara: do you think you could have left it in the laundry room?
Willow: Maybe
Tara: I'll go check; uh I'll just be one minute
Xander: Were cool
Anya: Are they going to cut the body open?
Willow: Oh my god, will you just stop talking, just shut your mouth, please
Anya: What am I doing?
Willow: How can you act like that?
Anya: Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?
Xander: Guys.
Willow: The way you behave.
Anya: nobody will tell me
Willow: because it's not ok for you to be asking these things.
Anya: But I don't understand, I don't understand how this all happens how we go through this. I mean I knew her and then she's, there is just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it, and not be dead anymore it's stupid, it's mortal and stupid. And Xander's crying and not talking, and and I was having fruit punch and thought that Joyce will never have fruit punch, ever, and she will never have eggs or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no-one will explain to me, why??
Willow: We don't know how it works, why?

(Xander smashes his hands into the wall)

Xander: Sorry, sorry, some pint-up
Willow: xander, where did your hand go?
Xander: as I was saying, some frustration, and now I uh, appear to be stuck.
Anya: My god, Is your hand ok?
Xander: Pretty much, I'm really sorry.
Anya: You could have hit an electric, thing.
Xander: and once again, with the sorry
Willow: Did it make you feel better?
Xander: for a second there.
Willow: A whole second?
Xander: in my defense, some crappy wall-men ship.
Willow: Yea you can hear everything that happens next-door.
Tara: (walks in) Did I miss something?
Anya: Xander decided that he blames the wall.
Willow: Can you turn your wrist?
Xander: Hold on (brings his hand out covered in blood) It's ok (stares at his hand)
Tara: it hurts
Willow: here wash it off
Anya: Band-Aids?
Willow: uh, underneath
Tara: I couldn't fin it
Willow: It doesn't matter, we should get there
Tara: yes.
Willow: I want to be there for Buffy.
Xander: your right, we'll go, we'll deal, we'll help, that's what we do, we help Buffy
Anya: How are we going to help? (They all walk out)

Anya' performance in The Body (my favourite ep) was so amazingly moving to me...it was the first tim i had seen Anya/Emma Cualifield show such emotions and i believe that it was the best scene/performance in the show....thats a huge thing to say because The Body was so well performed and written....if Buffy wasnt so discrimnated against it would go done in history.....well atleast we slayer fans knew it happened, it was beautiful and amazing as long as some of us no that it wasnt all for nothing
 
She was really wonderful in the body. She played the part of a child like figure, not really knowing was what was going on and not understanding death or emotions.
Everyone's performance was excellent, i've seen it about 5 times and i still cry like mad
 
shes great......ecspecially at learnin new things....i love how shes always so blunt and straight forward...bcuz she has nooo clue to act any other way!
 
And the award goes too...

She was really amazing in that scene. Its one of my favorite scenes of her and she asked a lot of questions that we all ask when a loved one dies. It was sort of symbolic if you ask me, as was no one knowing any of the answers. They were saying that you don't know what happens when you die or why you have to go. 🙁
 
I luved it, I got the DVD out and watched it over and over again, my sista was like "How many freeking times did you watch that?"
 
Ema did an amazing job. That scene was very real. I love that..."Xander decided he blames the wall." Any scene that can create that many different emotions in such a short period is tops in my book.
 
Yea Emma can get Anya to make a funny remark about any situation, thats like in when glory was after her, she finds this stuffed bunny, and was like ::that is soo cruel, it isn't funny, who could play a joke like that?! This is a bad omen!!::
 
That is one of my favorite Anya scenes. Emma was amazing, because of her acting in that scene I can literally watch it over and over again and tear up every time.

It was a great moment because it showed how far Anya came; even though she was struggling to understand mortality and humanity, she was more a part of humanity than she realized, because the 'whys' of death are something everyone thinks about.
 
That episode was really touching, and I think all the actors did an excellent job. It was interesting to see how Anya reacted to the situation.
 
yea,
it's like there about to die the next day, on chosen, and anya is like sleepin and Xanders like "some of us are crazy"she didn't really know much about death until it actually happened!
 
emma was amazing in the body her performance was ....well i cant use words to describe it lol,it just shows that joss is god and emma is godess to lol
 
this episode is definately one of my favourites of all time because of how much it deals with, how many emotions it evokes and the brilliance of some of the writing and acting in particualr scenes, theis one in the dorm being the best of the lot
emmas performance is so far beyond good i cant explain it, her complete lack of understanding and quest for answers is so like the private struggle we go through, but shes put it out for display in such a way, that i dont know anybody whos dealt with death who wouldnt relate to her at that moment

its pretty much the best scene she ever been in and definately in the top 5 scenes ever.
 
I loved her preformance in The Body it was awesome, i cried even harder then I already was as I watched that scene, it was very well done.
 
Watching Emma's performance in "The Body" was the second time I've cried during a Buffy episode. The first time was watching Buffy leave town in "Becoming 2." Emma is so talented at comedy, but this scene proved to everyone that she's also talented at drama. I think this was the episode that really endeared Anya to me, where before she was just Xander's funny girlfriend.
