   10 Best Anya Quotes   
      
   In real life, it's inappropriate to vocalize every thought that pops into   
   your head. However, in movies and TV, unfiltered characters are often fan   
   favorites. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Anya is a treasured gem. Whether she's   
   bored with a conversation, doesn't like somebody, or is just straight-up   
   horny, she'll express these thoughts to anyone within earshot. Not only can   
   the viewer depend on Anya for comic relief, but they get to live vicariously   
   through the effortless way in which she expresses herself.   
      
   But while Anya provides plenty of laughs, she's also a fascinating   
   character. She's an ex-vengeance demon who hasn't been a mortal for over a   
   thousand years. Rediscovering humanity is a bumpy ride, mainly full of   
   hilariously awkward moments, but Anya has real philosophical quandaries. In   
   particular, she struggles to grapple with the fleetingness of human life. As   
   fascinating as she is funny, here is Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 10 Best Anya   
   Quotes.   
      
      
       10 "I LIKE MY MONEY THE WAY IT IS—WHEN IT'S MINE."   
      
   Shameless capitalism is part of Anya's charm. Society hypocritically drills   
   it into our heads that we should want as much money as we can get our hands   
   on, but heaven forbid we actually express it. Shockingly, Anya doesn't trip   
   over that problem. And why should she? She may be clueless about societal   
   rules, but she sure understands how money works. Anya doesn't expect a pile   
   of money to appear like a pot of gold. When her vengeance demon savings   
   dries up, she gets a job at the Magic Box. Anya enjoys earning her money   
   just as much as she does keeping it.   
      
      
       9 "I DON'T HAVE A DATE FOR THE PROM...MEN ARE EVIL. WILL YOU GO WITH   
   ME?"   
      
   For all the high school seniors out there, take note. This is the worst   
   promposal ever. Generally speaking, when asked to prom, people don't want to   
   feel like they're simply the next best thing to you going stag. Nor do they   
   care to have their entire gender maligned.   
      
   When Anya asks Xander to the prom, she's in between two worlds. She just   
   spent the past thousand-plus years punishing the worst sort of men for their   
   awful behavior. It's understandable she may be a tad biased against them.   
   But even in her short time as a human and high school student, Anya fully   
   grasps the gravitas of senior prom. What's more hilarious: How blatantly   
   insulting Anya is? Or that her promposal actually worked?   
      
      
       8 "I HAVE FINESSE. I HAVE FINESSE COMING OUT OF MY BOTTOM!"   
      
   Only Anya could defend her finesse in the most obtuse way possible. In fact,   
   of all the terms that would never be associated with Anya, "finesse" would   
   easily make the top five. But she wants to prove herself to Giles, her   
   employer, and this is her less-than-perfect way of assuring him she can run   
   the Magic Box on her own.   
      
   Whoops. Giles isn't gone five minutes when Anya and Willow's bickering   
   accidentally summons Olaf, Anya's troll demon ex-boyfriend. One thing's for   
   certain—this hammer-wielding, mead-pounding brute won't respond to delicacy.   
   In order for Willow to perform the spell to get rid of Olaf, she ends up   
   pleading with Anya to be as obnoxious as possible to distract him. Mission   
   accomplished. As the Scoobies come to learn, sometimes finesse is overrated.   
      
      
       7 "COME IN! ENJOY MY PERSONAL SPACE!"   
      
   Eliza Doolittle, Anya is not. She never fully blossoms into a proper lady.   
   And honestly, where's the fun in that? However, to her credit, Anya does   
   give the whole politeness thing a whirl. After Xander leaves her at the   
   altar, Anya takes a hiatus from the Scooby Gang. So the last thing she wants   
   is one of them banging down her door needing help.   
      
   Still, if a few mortal years have taught her anything, it's to invite a   
   friend in if they come over. Even more to Anya's credit, she really thinks   
   this is a friendly greeting and completely misses her obvious disappointment   
   of having her solitude shattered into a million needy pieces. And really,   
   who hasn't wanted to spit this gem out to a friend who just can't take a   
   hint?   
      
      
       6 "OH, DO YOU MEAN AN ORGASM FRIEND?"   
      
   Anya doesn't do subtext. On the other hand, Giles is a man of discretion. He   
   tries ever so eloquently to explain to Xander and Anya why it's their turn   
   to babysit Spike. And for the love of Aphrodite, if anyone deserves a little   
   adult fun, it's Giles. Other than the bewitched encounter with Joyce, the   
   only amorous activity Giles has partaken in on the show is with Olivia, his,   
   ahem... orgasm friend.   
      
   Not that he's particularly keen to share his sex life, or lack thereof, with   
   the Scoobies. Most of them regard Giles as a father figure. There is an   
   unspoken understanding that Giles stays out of the Scoobies' bedroom lives,   
   they stay out of his. But while Anya may understand the concept of friends   
   with benefits, she certainly doesn't know the meaning of the word   
   "unspoken".   
      
      
       5 "I PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED...SARCASM."   
      
   It's rare for Anya to be at a loss for words. That's why she's thrown   
   off-kilter when Buffy questions Anya's value to the Scoobies. Buffy's   
   vitriolic words are part of what Anya dubs Buffy's "everyone sucks but me"   
   speech. Anya isn't the only target of Buffy's wrath, but her response is the   
   most memorable.   
      
   However, Anya isn't giving herself enough credit—and Buffy definitely isn't   
   either. Being over a thousand years old, Anya's been around the demon block.   
   She has firsthand experience with all kinds of mystical beings that the   
   others can only read about in history books. Anya frequently puts her life   
   on the line to help the Scoobies, even though she's petrified of her own   
   mortality.   
      
      
       4 "I WILL KEEP FIGHTING TOO."   
      
   While Buffy questioned Anya's value in the past, the Slayer sure learns to   
   put a sock in it when Anya sacrifices her life in the fight against the   
   First. In a heart-to-heart with Andrew, Anya reiterates her stance that   
   humans are dumb. However, she also admits that she admires people's ability   
   to fight, even against insurmountable odds.   
      
   Over the course of her speech, Anya realizes that she's proud to be a human,   
   and a fighter at that. This is a total 180 compared to Season 3, when Anya   
   skipped town in order to miss the Mayor's Ascension. Anya's grim fate makes   
   this quote all the more painful, but also all the more poignant.   
      
      
       3 "CAN I TRADE IN THE CHILDREN FOR MORE CASH?"   
      
   Anya doesn't exactly understand the Game of Life, be it reality or board
