  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer : Character : Whistler

    "Nobody understands me. That's my curse."

    "This is really an unforgettable smell. This is the stench of death you're giving off here. And the look says, uh... Crazy Homeless Guy. It's not good."

    Angel : "Get away from me"
    Whistler : " What are you gonna do, bite me? (gasp and jumps back) Horrors! A vampire!"

    "Ah, but you wouldn't bite me on account of your poor, tortured soul. It's so sad, a vampire with a soul. It's so poignant."

    "What are you eating? Like, a rat once a month?"

    "Hey! Look, you're skin and bones here! Butcher shops are throwing away more blood in a day than you could stand. Good blood. You lived in the world a little bit, you'd know that"

    Angel: " You're not a vampire. "

    "Not all demons are dedicated to the destruction of all life."

    Angel: " I wanna know who you are. "
    Whistler : " And I wanna know who you are."
    Angel: " You already do ".
    Whistler : " Not yet. But I'm looking to find out. 'Cause you could go either way here."

    Angel: " What do you mean, I can go either way? "
    Whistler : " I mean that you can become an even more useless rodent than you already are, or you can become someone. A person. Someone to be counted."

    Angel: " I just wanna be left alone."
    Whistler : Well, yeah, you've been left alone for, what, ninety years already. And what a package you are. The Stink Guy!
    Angel: " What do you want from me?"
    Whistler : " I want you to see something.We'd have to leave now. You see, and then you tell me what you wanna do."

    " Dog me. Mustard."

    " She's gonna have it tough, that Slayer. She's just a kid. The world's full of big, bad things."

    " God, jeez, look at you. She must be prettier than the last Slayer. This isn't gonna be easy. The more you live in this world, the more you see how apart from it you really are. And this is dangerous work. Right now, you couldn't go three rounds with a fruit fly! "

    " Again, you're annoying me. You're lucky we need you on our side. "

    " Bottom line is, even if you seem 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments."

    " No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. "

    " So what, are we helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

    " You'll see what I mean."

    Buffy: "What are you doing here?"
    Whistler : "Waiting for you."
    Buffy: "Why?"
    Whistler : "'Cause I need a date to the prom."
    Buffy: "I've had a really bad day, okay? If you have information worth hearing, then I am grateful for it. If you're gonna crack jokes, then I'm gonna pull out your rib cage and wear it as a hat."
    Whistler : "Hello to the imagery! Very nice.It wasn't supposed to go down like this. Nobody saw you coming. I figured this for Angel's big day. But I thought he was here to stop Acathla, not to bring him forth. Then you two made with the smoochies. Now he's a creep again. Now, what are you gonna do? W-what are you prepared to do?"
    Buffy : " Whatever I have to"
    Whistler : " Maybe I should ask, what are you prepared to give up?"

    Buffy: "What are you, just some immortal demon sent down to even the score between good and evil?"
    Whistler : "Wow. Good guess."
    Buffy: "Then why don't you try getting off your immortal ass and fighting evil once in a while?"

    Whistler : " In the end, you're always by yourself. You're all you've got. That's the point. "
    Buffy : " Spare me"
    Whistler : "The sword isn't enough. You gotta be ready. You gotta know how to use it!"

    " You know, raiding an Englishman's fridge is like dating a nun. You're never gonna get the good stuff."

    " Angel's the key. His blood will open the door to Hell. Acathla opens his big mouth, creates a vortex. Then only Angel's blood will close it. One blow will send 'em both back to Hell. But I strongly suggest that you get there before that happens, 'cause the faster you kill Angel, the easier it's gonna be on you."

    Whistler : " It's all on the line here, kid."
    Buffy: I can deal. I got nothing left to lose.
    Whistler : "Wrong, kid. You got one more thing."

    "I mean I've got torque. I've got MOUNDS of torque. And I've got some of this too!"
