Hey Flist: What's your favorite television quote?

[timepiececlock]

I know you can't pick just one.

But give me the first tv quote that pops into your mind, one of your eternal favorites, and what makes it stand out.

I'll put mine in the comments too.

I can't remember word for word the entire speech, but the words "I've seen the best and the worst of you" from Spike to Buffy always impressed me.

Mostly because Spike is probably the first person to acknowledge her as a human, not a slayer and not a hot piece of ass as Angel and Xander did in the earlier seasons. He's seen her do some amazing and some disgusting things (the latter mostly being aimed at him personally) and yet he loves her, all sides of her.

In a show occasionally hit with Mary Sues and in which there are seemingly no ugly people (and the few that are serve as comic relief), that line stuck with me because it's Spike pointing out that Buffy isn't the superhero she sometimes thinks she is and feels people want her to be.

She is a human who does human things and he loves the woman, not the slayer.
