I did a search, and found there wasn't actually an official thread for Oz moments. (Unless it went by a name not including 'favourite,' 'Oz' & 'moments.' 😉) So pretty self-explanatory I guess. Anyway, Oz was a top character with quite the few moments worth mentioning, so post away. 🙂 By the by, when I say moments, that can include quotes too obviously. Here are a few random ones, will post more:

What's My Line, Part 1 - When Oz finally meets Willow. He has the tray of canape' in his hands and he's looking at it, Will comes in and he turns to look at who else is in the room, sees her, does the double take and realises who it is. And then he looks down at the tray and offers it to her. "Canape'?" 😀 Just done so well.

What's My Line, Part 2 - This whole scene is so sweet: (Oz just got the box of Animal Crackers)

Oz: "Oh, hey! (offers the box) Animal Cracker?"

Willow: "No, thank you. How's your arm?"

Oz: "Suddenly painless."

Willow: "You can still play the guitar okay?"

Oz: "Oh, not well, but not worse."

Willow: "Y'know, I never really thanked you."

Oz: "Oh, yeah, please don't. I don't do thanks. I get all red. Have to bail. It's not pretty."

Willow: "Well, then forget that thing. E-especially with the
part where I kind of owe you my life."

Oz: (pulls out a cookie and stops) "Oh, look! Monkey! And he has a little hat. And little pants."

Willow: "Yeah, I-I see!"

Oz: "The monkey's the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that?"

Willow smiles.

Oz: "You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen. (continues down the hall) 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!' "

Willow laughs.

Oz: "And there's a big coup in the zoo."

Willow: "The monkey is French?"

Oz: "All monkeys are French. You didn't know that?"

Willow: "No." (giggles)

Becoming, Part 2 - The gang are talking outside the school at the end.

Oz: "But we know the world didn't end, 'cause.... (looks around) check it out."

Anne - Fight scene at the beginning, the vamp's getting away so Oz picks up his stake by the tip and throws it after him, it whistles through the air flying end over end, hits a rock and bounces off of it.

Oz: "That really never works."

Dopplegängland - When Willow's undercover at the Bronze and she waves at Oz, and he realises it's regular Willow, she's not a vampire, even though he doesn't seem to really react, you can tell how relieved he is by his facial expression. To a casual observer maybe not, but if you watch him carefully you can see the emotion, really sweet. 🙂

Choices - The gang are discussing whether they do a trade to get Willow back and everyone's arguing except Oz who is sitting through it all. Then he gets up and walks behind Wesley, as he gets to this line:

Wesley: "It can all end right here. We have the means to destroy this box."

And Oz picks up the pot for the box-destroying ritual and throws it into a display case, settling it for them.

Buffy: "Giles, make the phone call."
 
There's a couple threads devoted to Oz quotes, and I've posted a bunch of Oz Moments in No Oz...too many to really repost here. But Oz threads are always welcomed, I say.

I've seen this observation before, but I hafta disagree with it. Willow acts NOTHING like vamp Willow, and Oz is Mr. Observant, so I have a hard time believing that it took the wave for Oz to figure it out. To me, the expression may have been a little relief, but mostly he was pleading with her to BE CAREFUL!
 
Yeah, I agree with you on that D_9th. He does have that expression on his face when the real Willow first walks in and you know that he know something is better. Its his Willow! And then later he just kinda worried that she actually waved at him and he doesn't want her to blow her cover. But he knew it was her the whole time. He's just Oz like that. (IMHO of course)
 
I totally get what you mean, he knows something's different when Willow walks in, but the eyebrow thing he does when she waves at him, I think the wave definitely confirmed it for him.
 
hmmm *sorts through memorized scenes with oz..oh so many to choose from*

i gotta say one of my fave oz/willlow moments is when hes like 'where willow goes so goes my nation' hes just so loyal and caring, i mean no need to be like , i like willow i agree with what she says so im gonna go make her feel bettter by following her and supporting her blahblah, he covers that with usually one simple phrase, or like 'if nobody minds i think ill follow the redhead' its like, yes the worlds in peril but thats my willow so , seeya!
 
Yeah Oz was so loyal. I love the "I mock you with my monkey pants" part.
I also love when in Lovers Walk (such a sad episode) he gives Willow that little Pezz witch. Something so small but Willow loved it. He was just so sweet! 🙂
 
Well, the "No Oz" thread disappeared, so all my Oz moments are gone. 🙁 Now I have to relive all my favorite Oz moments. Shucky darn!

In Anne, at the end, when Cordy, Xander, Willow, and Oz are patrolling, a vampire attacks Willow while Cordy and Xander are arguing. Xander and Cordy turn and run to Willow, but Oz shoots across the screen and gets there first. Very small, but very sweet....protective...yeah...<grin>

Yeah, I noticed your post asking about that. It was such a great thread, and I didn't notice it was gone; I just thought nobody posted there for a little while.🙁 But the Oz love must go on!

As for one of my favorite Oz moments...in "Beauty and the Beasts" when Pete is confronting Oz because he thinks Oz has something going on with Debbie... Anyway, I love the part where he goes: "Time's up. Rules change."

"Beauty and the Beasts", definitely one of the top best Oz episodes. It's the Oz-actually-shows-signs-of-human-emotions episode. He's great when he's all stressed out, thinking he got out of his cage and killed someone. Very emotional Oz moments. Oh! Another good quote ('cause of the scared/sad look on Oz's face): "What, you're having a Slayer watch me? Oh, good, we're not overreacting." ...Then he goes storming off.


😛 Oz: "Yeah, but, you know, since the best jazz is improvisational, we'd be going off in all directions, banging into floats... Scary."
 
heh heh heh and ewww "oddly full today" in response to xander offering snackfood
classic oz
 
OK, this is a teeny obsessive thing (me? obessive? huh.) But in earshot, when Buffy woke up from passing out, and gets up, Oz is there beside her and reaches out to assist her. It shows that his consideration extends beyond Willow to his friends,
 
obsessive? you? yup!
*nods* not only does he love his Will, but he likes all the people she likes
like how he helps out cordy to get 'the fringe vote' for homecoming cause yeh, willlows helping, so he helps!
although i have to say, shes not exactly the best at reciprocating this, shes hella mean to devon, and she aint friendly to his uni friends, mainly just, hey you have people here, hmm.

yay oz! enemy of the state is on here soon!
 
One of my favorite Oz eps. in general is "Living Conditions", i love the way he offers to spend time with Buffy for Willow....And I love the line after Buffy destroys the bench:

"But, on the plus side, the bech was looking shifty"...i love that.

😱 The resurrection of an old Oz thread.

::idea::Well I suppose I better post...😉

Okay, I went for the begining scene in 'Fear, Itself' where Xander is showing his finished pumpkin. Two great Oz quotes ahead:

Xander: I don't know, I was going for ferocious, scary, but it's coming out more dryly sardonic.

Willow: It does appear to be mocking you with its eye holes.

Oz: The nose hole seems sad and full of self-loathing.
Xander: What do you think, Buff?

Buffy: I was just thinking about the life of a pumpkin. Grow up in the sun - happily entwined with others, then someone comes along, cuts you open and - rips your guts out.

Xander: Okay, and on that happy note, I've got a treat for tomorrow nights second annual Halloween screening. People - prepare to have your spines tingled, your gooses bumped by the terrifying... Fantasia. Fantasia?

Oz: Maybe it's because of all the - horrific things we've seen, but hippos wearing tutus just don't unnerve me the way they used to.

Hehe! I just realized that's the second 'hippo' reference that Oz has made. I'm not kidding when I say that this makes my whole day 10 times more enjoyable.🙄
 
i think Oz is just so sweet, and the way he talks, all calm, and funny.. i like that, how he makes a joke, but doesn't change the face moments... there is one of does scenes in s4 ep 2(living conditions)

buffy is mad at her room-mate kathy, and she is out oaroling with Oz, and she kicks a bench, cos she's angry at kathy:

Buffy: (...) and she's other really bad things.
Oz: on the plus side you killed the really bad bench.

it's so funny when he says that cos he is so calm, and dry 🙂

(and i just realized that kindred has also marked this qoute🙂 well, i agree Kindred... that ep has some great Oz moments)
 
Oz: Uh... Arm. - Innoence..I thought that wo funny.


Oz: Who is that girl? - Halloween..When Willow is walking across the street.


Oz: I'm not really a computer person, you know. Or a work of any kind
person.
Willow: They why'd they select you?
Oz: Oh, I sorta test well. Y'know, which is cool. E-except that it
leads to jobs. -- Whats My Line Pt2

Oz: I, uh, I'm shot! (takes his hand away briefly and chuckles) Y'know. (laughs) Wow! It's odd! And painful. -- Whats My Line Pt2

Buffy: Try it!
Oz: Try what?
Buffy: Uh... I-I'm sorry.
Oz: Still not clear what I'm supposed to try.
Buffy: Nothing. God, I'm... sorry, I...(Walks off)

Oz: That is a tense person. - Whats My Line Pt1
 
Xander:awww...Buffy!Banned from school but never from our hearts!(buffy is sitting on a blanket with food all around her)
its just like martha stewarts!With out the whole vampire slayer thing!

Oz:Oh i hear she can but she doesnt like to!
