Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Delurking to say:
Nick Brendon kicks off his run in Lobster Alice at the Blank Theatre Co. in Los Angeles tonight. If you're so inclined and want to help me look like a webmaster who gets results, you can send your best wishes via the NickBrendon.com boards.
Lots of people are looking at the thread, but few are posting.

Hey. New board.
So, we get to meet our students on Saturday, and my principal has suggested that it might be nice if each of the teachers perform something, since it's a performing arts school. Now, normally, I'd be fine with singing something, and that's probably what I'll end up doing. I have two minor caveats with that, though: first, it's likely that several of the other teachers will also sing, and variety would be nice. Second, well, our principal sang in an off-broadway musical last year, and our special ed teacher was an opera singer at juilliard.
I'm a good karaoke voice, but if they go too... I'm losing out.
So. I'm thinking it would be fun, and a good way to introduce myself, if I could act out a short scene from Buffy. A short, funny, self-contained scene that requres only the most basic background knowledge (so that I can set it up in 60 seconds). I don't mind playing a couple of characters, though something with longish monologues would be nice so I'm not switching character over 2 words.
Ideas?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
You could scare the crap out of them and do Giles' monologue as he kills Ben.

Hey. New board.
They're fourteen and in a new place. That would be mean. Thus why I'm thinking amusing.
Which would almost certainly require multiple characters, I know, as Buffy humor is all about the repartee.

Hey. New board.
Oh! I could do Buffy's fake death of a salesman monologue in Restless. That could be kind of funny.

Falsone (who didn't bother me that much) and The Woman Who Killed Homicide, who I can't think of in any other way no matter what she shows up on. (The Beatdown!, which was always spoken in capital letters.)

I was eh about Falsone, except for one scene. He was eating a peach and talking about sex with the other detective he'd been sleeping with, and it was Teh Hott.
