OK thought i would start this before Spike lover LOL.
Anyway the question is what are your have qoutes by Giles mine are.

Cordy: What?
Giles: I'm sorry...your hair.
Cordy: There's something wrong with my hair? Oh, my God. [She exits]
Giles: Xander was right. It worked liked a charm.
-The Puppet Show


Snyder: There's some things I can just smell. It's like a sixth sense.
Giles: Well, actually, that would be one of the five.
- When She Was Bad

Buffy: I told one lie. I had one drink.
Giles: Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'Let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.
- Reptile Boy

Giles: Unbelievable...[imitating Joyce's voice] do you like my mask? isn't it pretty? it raises the dead![as himself] Americans!
- Dead Man's Party

Giles (trying not to cry): She was...truely the finest of all of us.
Xander: Way better than me...
Giles (sadly nodding): Much, much better.
- Doppelgangland

Wesley (to Buffy): You cannot leave Sunnydale. With the power invested in me by the Council, I forbid it.
Buffy:[sighs]
Giles: Oh, yes. That should settle it.
- Choices

Xander: I'm not enjoying this
Giles: Well, shelve them correctly and we can finish.
Xander: I don't get your crazy system.
Giles: My system? It's called the alphabet.
Xander: Huh. Would you look at that.
- The Harsh Light of Day

Giles: Don't taunt the fear demon.
Xander: Why? Can he hurt me?
Giles: No, it's just...tacky.
- Fear, Itself

OK im done your turn.
 
The Ulitmate Giles quotes:

"Do you want me to answer that, or shall I just glare?"

--The Dark Age

A babe? I can live with that.

--Halloween

(to Buffy after he finds out Angel is alive.) Be quiet. (sternly) I won't remind you that the fate of the world often lies with the Slayer. What would be the point? Nor shall I remind you that you've jeopardized the lives of all that you hold dear by harboring a known murderer. But sadly, I must remind you that Angel tortured me... for hours... for pleasure. You should have told me he was alive. You didn't. You have no respect for me, or the job I perform.

--Revelations

::fire:: *pretends to be amd* ::fire:: lol - I WAS JUST COMING TO DO THIS! Lol, i will get revenge!!!

Hehe, so i left the two faves of mine out of the ones you wrote! Giles is truly one of the wittiest characters with great sarcasm and . . . wit. Lol.

One of my favs is just after he is upset coz jenny has been colder due to the fact he got her posessed by a demon. Buffy is trying to cheer him up. Quote (not EXACT wording):

Buffy: Ive got some music to work out to - go on say it, you know you want to . . .
Giles: Its not music, its just meaningless noise.
Buffy: Feel better?
Giles: Yes.

That wa really funny - just the way they said it. Im not very thinking of quotes on the spot - i just like to watch other people at work!!! Lol, so some on - WORK! Lol.
I really liked the gorgeous line in "Two To Go":

"Id like to test that theory." - lol, a classic.

There you go! I cantw ait for this thread to really get going (even though its not mine coz somebody wrote it 1st! 😛)! Lol.

😀
 
Buffy: See, this is a school, and we have students, and they check out books, and then they learn things.
Giles: I was beginning to think that was a myth.
-Never Kill a Boy on the First Date

'You were right all along, about everything...Well, no, you weren't right about your mother coming back as a Pekingese...'
- Teacher's Pet

Spike: Sometimes I like to Crumble the weetabix in the blood. Gives it a little texture
Giles: Since the picture you just painted means that I will never touch food of any kind again, you'll just have to pick it up yourself
Spike: Sissy
- The Gentleman

Giles: This computer invasion that Willow is performing on the cororner's office. One assumes that it is entirely legal?
Buffy: Of course
Willow: Entirely
Giles: Right. Wasn't here. Didn't see it. Couldn't have stopped you


Giles: "I-I-I don't know, I just - I was so at loose ends, I-I found myself searching for ... some way of feeling more..."
Buffy: "Shallow?"
Giles: "Perhaps, as I am to act as your Watcher again, a modicum of respect might be in order."
Buffy: "Do I have to?"
Giles: "I'm serious, Buffy, there's going to be far less time for the sort of flighty, frivolous-"
Dawn: "Hey, there's Willow and Tara!"
Giles: "Ooh, they haven't seen my new car."

Giles: Testosterone is a great equalizer. It turns all men into morons.

Giles (to Xander and Willow at the dance): We have to find Buffy. Something terrible has happened. Just kidding,
thought I'd give you a scare. Are those finger sandwiches?

Spike: Passions is on! Timmy's down the bloody well, and if you make me miss it I'll "”
Giles: Do what? Lick me to death?

Buffy: Honey, we need to talk about the invitations. Now, do you want to be 'William the Bloody' or just 'Spike,' because either way it's gonna look majorly weird.
Spike: Whereas the name 'Buffy' gives it that touch of classic elegance.
Buffy: What's wrong with 'Buffy'?
Giles: Ah, such a good question.
- Something blue

Buffy: Spike and I are getting married!
Xander: How? What? How?
Giles: Three excellent questions
- Something blue

::heart::d those two - they show his more 'relaxed' (lol - if there is such a thing!) nature, wth such great touches of sarcastic wit!
You gotta ::heart:: our Giles!

😉
 
I have two favourite quotes from Giles:

"Welcome to the Nancy Tribe."

and

"Well, I'm a hair's breadth from investigating bunnies at the moment, so I'm open to anything."
 
Lol, they were good ones but i think the ones before show the best side of him - his hysterical wit! I ::heart::d his sarcastic side! Some say giles is . . . whats the word? . . . like, too serious and rigid. But i think he was hysterical!!!

😉
 
My all time favorite was in "The Prom" when there was Scooby meeting in the library and the girls were all talking about their prom dresses instead of the Danger du Jour:

[heavy sarcasm]"...And I shall be wearing pink taffeta because chenille does not suit my complexion."

(For that matter, didn't *Buffy's* dress turn out to be pink taffeta in that episode?)
 
Giles: "What are you two talking about?"
Buffy: "Tara's birthday. I was thinking of getting her this cute sweater at Bloomie's, but I think I want me to have it."
Giles: "You are both sitting in a magick shop and have no idea what to get Tara?"
Buffy and Xander with blank looks.
Giles: "I think you're both profoundly stupid."
---Family

Willow: "No, you two just can't handle the fact that Tara's my girlfriend!"
Xander: "Listen Willow, I'm not going to be.....wha? Tara's your GIRLFRIEND?"
Giles in a drunken stupor upstairs: "DEAR LORD".
---Yoko Factor

That's all I can think of at this time. LOL

LMAO LMAO LMAO! Thanks so much! Lol, those are my kinda giles quotes! 😉
I remember the 1st one - HYSTERICAL!!! I never actually saw the 2nd quote's eppy, but i can just imagine the scene - LOL!
Speaking of which, giles gets drunk quite a bit for an (ex)librarian . . . lol.
PLEASE Spells & Stakes, if you want to write anymore - GO RIGHT AHEAD! Lol, thanks!
Man, how i ::heart:: my Giles!

😀
 
Giles: "How did you get in?"
Spike: "Through the door. You should watch that Rupert, someone dangerous could get in."
Giles: "Or, someone formerly dangerous and currently annoying."
 
I don't remember the exact quote, but it's along these lines:

To Wes from "The Prom"

"Oh for God's sakes, you have the emotionaly maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it would you and stop fluttering about."

If you can help me out with the exact dialogue, I'd appreciate it.
 
I think Giles is the funniest because he is sarcastic and pretends not to know that he is. I like these:

G: Are you all right?
W: Yea.
G: Oh yes cause your good mood is both obvious and contagious
W: I had a fight with Tara, it was awful.
G: Well I'm sorry
W: me 2
G: You too don't quarrel much do you?
W: Never, until today
G: Well it's over.
W: Over how can it be over? I just found her
G: The quarrel is over, and you will feel better when you make your apologies and you can know that you can fight without the world ending. I know it all seems bleak now but as they say this too.
--tough love--

Giles? Spike didn't even program my name write

B: Giles, I love you, love, love, love, it feels strange giles
G: well I should wonder

B: I don't think I'll be that hungry
G: It's for me
--intervention--
 
Giles: "How did you get in?"
Spike: "Through the door. You should watch that Rupert, someone dangerous could get in."
Giles: "Or, someone formerly dangerous and currently annoying."
 
Giles: W-w-w-what I'm proposing is, um... and I-I don't mean to appear indecorous, is, is, um, a, a-a-a social engagement, um, a, a, a, a-a date, if you're amenable.
Buffy and Xander stop and listen to him. Giles is displeased with himself.
Giles: You idiot!
Buffy: Boy, I guess we never realized how much you like that chair.
Giles: I-I-I was just working on...
Buffy: Your pickup lines?
Giles: Um, in a manner of speaking, yes.
Buffy: Then if you wouldn't mind a little Gene and Roger, you might wanna leave off the 'idiot' part. Being called an idiot tends to take people out of the dating mood.
Xander: Hmm, it actually kinda turns me on.
Buffy: to Xander I fear you. You also might wanna avoid words like 'amenable' and 'indecorous', y'know. Speak English, not whatever they speak in, um...
Giles: England?
Buffy: Yeah. You just say, 'Hey, I got a thing, you maybe have a thing, maybe we could have a thing.'
Giles: Oh, thank you, Cyrano.
Buffy: I'm not finished. Then you say, 'How do you feel about Mexican?'
Giles: About Mexicans?
Buffy: Mexican. Food. You take her for food, for which you then pay.
Giles: Oh. Right.
Xander: So this chair-woman. We are talking Ms. Calendar, right?
Giles: W-what makes you think that?
Xander: Simple deduction. Ms. Calendar is reasonably dollsome, especially for someone in your age bracket. She already knows that you're a school librarian, so you don't have to worry about how to break that embarrassing news to her.
Buffy: And she's the only woman we've actually ever seen speak to you. Add it all up and it all spells 'duh'.
Xander: Now, is it time to have a talk about the facts of life?
Giles: You know, I'm suddenly deciding this is none of your business.
Xander: Y'know, because that whole stork thing is a smoke screen.

Some Assembly Required
 
Both from The Prom:

"And I will be wearing pink tafetta, as chenille would not go with ym complexion, can we PLEASE talk about the Acenscion?"

"For God's sake man, she's 18 and you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about."
 
HAHAHAHAHA!!! You guys rock! I loved reading those. I'm not too good at remembering quotes and I'm sure there are tons more even but the only thing I can see when I think of Giles is that scene at the end of earshot. It ain't a quote but when Buffy says about training..."If you're not too busy having sex with my mother!" and he runs into the tree...I love that!
 
I chuckled a bit when Giles described himself as a middle-aged librarian with a tendency to get knocked about the head, and I outright broke out laughing when he told Xander not to speak Latin near the books, but my favourite Giles quote isn't funny.

Even so, I recognize it as the point in the Buffy series that turned me into an obsessed fan.

It's the part in Innocence when Giles is driving Buffy home. She is coming clean with him about sleeping with Angel, and turning him into
Angelus.

Buffy: You must be so disappointed in me.

Giles: No. (she looks at him) No, I'm not.

Buffy: But this is all my fault.

Giles: No. I don't believe it is. Do you want me to wag my finger at
you and tell you that you acted rashly? You did, and I can. I know that you loved him, and he has proven more than once that he loved you. You couldn't have known what would happen. The coming months are going to be hard... I suspect on all of us, but... if it's guilt you're looking for, Buffy, I'm not your man. All you will get from me is my support. And my respect.
