“They Always Go For the ‘E’

by max on February 15, 2009

“Mr. Miller” – I don’t think I knew the character’s name until I checked for this post – has two of the best lines, I think, in BTVS.

In Anne (3.19), on the first day of school,

“Slow down, people. Summer is over. Be somber.”

And in Graduation Day Part One,

(Playing hangman): “They always go for the ‘E’”.

And how many single-lines are written that well? Of course – without an actor to manage them – one might not realize how funny the line is.

Turns out Mr. Miller is played by James Lurie, an actor with impressive accomplishments doing voice-overs.
