A vampire in love with a Slayer! It's rather poetic...in a maudlin sort of way..

Giles:
It's fascinating, though. By all accounts it's a wonderful power to possess.
Angel:
Oh, I don't know. Looking in the mirror everyday and seeing nothing there. It's an overrated pleasure.

Buffy:
It isn't this great power that she can control. It's something that was done to her. That we did to her.

Cordelia:
Somebody is after me! They just tried to kill Ms. Miller? Uh, she was helping me with my homework. And Mitch! And Harmony?! This is all about me! Me, me, me!
Xander:
Wow, and for once, she's right!

Cordelia:
What, you think I'm never lonely just because I'm so cute and popular? I can be surrounded by people and be completely alone. It's not as if any of them really know me. I don't even know if they like me half the time. Sometimes, when I'm talking, everyone's so busy agreeing with me they don't hear a word I say.

Buffy:
Well, if you feel so alone, then why do you work so hard at being popular?
Cordelia:
Well, it beats being alone all by yourself!

Giles:
We could...talk to her. Perhaps, reason with her...or possibly grab her.

Willow:
Why is Marcie doing this?
Giles:
The loneliness, the constant exile, she's...she has gone mad.
Xander:
You think?!?

Buffy:
Y'know, I really felt sorry for you - you've suffered. There's one thing I really didn't factor into all this. You're a thundering loony!

Nitpicks
How did an invisible girl transport two unconscious and very visible girls from the school to the Bronze without attracting attention? Now I know we don't really know how far that is, but please!
If Angel doesn't breathe, isn't it a bit odd that he was able to smell the gas?
On arriving at a government facility, Marcie enters a classroom containing several tables with chairs behind them, and a closed book at each position. She walks to a chair, pulls it out and sits down - how did she know that chair was free, since all the other kids are invisible too?
