Reservoir Dogs. When Mr. White yells at Mr. Blond.
Honestly I had forgotten where that phase came from. Over time my head fills with many phrases and ways of describing things and as I get older I start to forget where it all comes from.
I had to sit a few seconds and think on that one.
Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

Didn't you guys know that bunnygoat and shrimp is a rival firm of wolfram and hart's? They're not quite as powerful but they're working their way up.

Kinda like ConeyKid and Brine, or PulletRam and Prawn?

I think the point is our pleasure online discussing them...
My own favorite is the cheese:
in Buffy season two 'Bewitched Bothered & Bewildered'
Amy turns Buffy into a rat,
and all Buffy recalls is offering to do the lap-dance for Xander and then a burning need for cheese....
well no one much mentions cheese for almost two years,
but when Riley is asking Willow for tips on what Buffy likes,
Willow says "She likes cheese"
(could that be a hold over from the being a rat experience?)
And then in the Season 4 finale, when everyone is kind of experiencing Buffy's dream w/the Primal Slayer...
and the cheese man (has Buffy been dreaming about the cheese man for years?)
Personally I would have enjoyed more cheesy references,
I always love the bunny references
(and you noticed how bunnies inspired Anya to fight in the series' finale!)
And the shrimp references are similar,
something for those who have been fans for years

I can't recall any mention of goats in either Angel of Buffy with the exception of angel's misplaced phone call in season 5 when he gets the message: You've reached ritual sacrifice! For goats press 1, or say "goats".
In "Reprise", Angel crashes a warehouse where some W&H lackeys (one of them played by writer David Fury) are attempting to sacrifice hundreds of goats.
"That's a lot of goats. Goats. Many."

i love the whole shrimp thing!!! i would have laughed out really loud when Illyria mentioned shrimp, cept i was so sad at the loss of Fred. of course, the reference to shrimp in 'Triangle' kinda had me lost, because i hadn't seen 'Superstar' yet at tht stage. then when i saw 'Superstar' i burst out laughing. anyway, like i said, i just think the whole shrimp thing is so funny because the fact that they chose shrimp as a reference, rather than something slightly more orthodox- like, say, people?? i don't know.

Quote:Also, in "Fear Itself" (the halloween one with Gachnar, the mini-demon), she dresses up as a bunny, because bunnies frighten her.

Anya+bunnies for instance:
1. She raises bunnies as a mortal in her origin story in season 7.
2. She sings about bunnies in OMWF.
3. She summons lots of bunnies in Tabula Rasa when under the amnesia spell.
4. She is inspired by the mention of bunnies in the show's finale to go on a kill crazy rampage against the uber-vamps emerging from the high school basement.

OMG, she does dress up doesn't she? I never made the connection between her costume and the fact she might be afraid of bunnies. (Or at least cautious).
