MONDAY
************************************************
Anya: "You don't understand what it's like."
Xander: "Being suddenly human? I think I can get what that would be like. And we can get through it together."
Anya: "You can't make it any different. I'm going to get old. And ... you can't promise you'll be with me when I'm ... wrinkly and my teeth are artificial and stuck into my wrinkly mouth with an adhesive."
Xander: "No, I can't promise that. But it doesn't sound terrible. And that's saying something. I promise you Anya, very soon you won't be thinking about getting older."
(The Replacement)

Fortune Cookies:
"When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four"
The Beatles, 'When I'm 64'
"Grow old with me! The best is yet to be."
Robert Browning
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
Billy Crystal, When Harry met Sally
"I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
(I'll be happy to tell you again/Just listen to how this song ends)
I'm gonna love you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever amen
They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray
Well, honey, I don't care
I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out
I'd love you anyway
Well, they say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well, it's easy to see
It's happening to me
I've already forgotten every women but you
Oh baby
I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
(I'll be happy to tell you again/Just listen to how this song ends)
I'm gonna love you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever amen"
Randy Travis, 'Forever and Ever Amen'
"Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter"
Yoda, 'The Empire Strikes Back'
TUESDAY
**************************************************
Anya: "That's right. The power of the Wish made me a righteous sword to smite the unfaithful."
Xander: "Well, hey! Good luck with that. Hope it works out for you."
Anya: "You know, you can laugh, but I have witnessed a millenium of treachery and oppression from the males of the species and I have nothing but contempt for the whole libidinous lot of them."
Xander: "Then why you talking to me?"
Anya: (averts her eyes) "I don't have a date for the prom."
Xander: "Well gosh. I wonder why not. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with your sales pitch?"
Anya: "Men are evil. Will you go with me?"
(The Prom)

"In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman."

WEDNESDAY
**************************************
Giles: "Um, I need you to take Spike for a few days"
Xander: " What?"
Spike: "What?"
Anya: "What?"
Spike: "I'm not staying with him!"
Giles: "I have a friend who's coming to town and I'd like us to be alone."
Anya: "oh you mean an orgasm friend?"
Giles: "Yes that's exactly the most appalling thing you could have said"
(Hush)

"Don't reserve your best behavior for special occasions. You can't have two sets of manners, two social codes - one for those you admire and want to impress, another for those whom you consider unimportant. You must be the same to all people."
Lillian Eichler Watson
"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use. "

THURSDAY
*********************************************
Anya: "Hmm. Humans make the same mistakes over and over. I saw it when I was a vengeance demon. Some guy dumps a girl, she calls me, I exact vengeance, blah blah blah, the next year, same girl, different guy. I mean, after you smite a few of 'em you start going 'my goodness, young lady ... maybe you're doing something wrong here too.' "
(Triangle)

Fortune Cookies:
"We are what we repeatedly do."
Aristotle
"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future."
Plutarch
"Blame someone else and get on with your life."
Alan Woods
FRIDAY
**********************************************
Anya: "Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? (looks from Willow to Xander) Is that the helpful thing to do?"
Xander: "Guys..."
Willow: "The way you behave-"
Anya: "Nobody will tell me."
Willow: "Because it's not okay 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, (sniffling) there's 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. (still teary) And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why."

A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
"Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth."
Benjamin Disraeli
"It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses."
Colette
"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go."
