Quotes:

Buffy: Does the word "duh" mean anything to you?
Nicole: Buff, I don't see why we have to invite every single senior.
Buffy: Because it's the senior dance? It's just a shot in the dark.
Buffy: All I want to do is graduate from high school, move to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now that might not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it's swell. And now you show up and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can THROW things at me? I don't THINK so.
Buffy: Pike's not a name, it's a fish.
[The Coach is having the last pep-talk with his team, pointing at a piece of paper with an infinity-sign, some male / female symbols and the eye inside the pyramid]
Coach: ...therefore, if we all work together, together we'll work out. Are you with me? Get out there! All right! Score some... eh... points! Hey, you missed practice again today! I think you better sit down and think about how that made me feel...

Trivia:

Seth Green, the only person in the movie to be in the spin-off show, was cut from the movie, but still appears on the video cover.
Buffy's last name is never mentioned in the movie. Not until the release of the series was she referred to as Buffy Summers.
In the original version of the script, Merrick committed suicide to escape being turned into a vampire by Lothos, who wanted to know the Slayer's identity so he could kill her.
Ben Affleck appears as an extra (a basketball player).

Credits Fun:

Amilyn revives to go through some more death throes.
TV interviews with people at the dance that were attacked by vampires.
