FWIW, I saw the quote a while ago and thought what John thought, but didn't say anything. I'm not up for downloading the ep to confirm my recall of it, though.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
If we ever get the caching thing set up, we should send an e-mail to SpikeMe to see if that fixes her problems.

OK, I've seen the episode umpteen times and John is definitely right. There is a tiny pause but that's a typical Xander mannerism. It's like "Jimmy Olsen jokes're...pretty much going to be lost on you". It's DEFINITELY not "Sir".

The new feature, where we can set the number of posts per page? The one I thought I was silly enough to skip its announcement and therefore accidentally discovered only this morning, but only by skimming here discovered that it's actually brand new?
Well, it rocks. Like a thing that rocks. Thank you, ever so much, all those who are involved with bettering this already wonderful place.
[Edit: and not-native-English-listener-me have always heard that line the way John and co do, FWIW.]

Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?
The Zeppo DVD subtitles agree with John, and FWIW, my ears do too. Now I must nap, for it is exhausting being noble enough to watch Buffy before work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Quote updated.
John -- forgot to give you this for your coding:
class Quote {
var $id;
var $char; // character saying the quotation
var $quote; // quotation text
var $season; // quotation season
var $episode; // episode number
var $title; //episode title
}

Thanks, for both of those things.
Hey, in the table you showed me yesterday, the
show_name
thing, is that just a y/n which determines whether the character's names come up, to solve that blank-character-name, tautologous-character-name thing, or am I missing something?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, yes. Show name is part of the join between episode and quotes -- A for Angel and B for Buffy.

the shooting script is often wrong
The transcripts are wrong/different sometimes, too - even from the less cutesy transcribers. For what it's worth, I've watched the episode a bajillion times and it's not sir, it's jokes are and given Nick's delivery, the jokes're contraction is probably the most accurate way in which to transcribe it.
