Cordelia: So, how much the creepy is it that this Marcie's been at this for months? Spying on us? Learning our most guarded secrets? So, are you saying she's invisible because she's so unpopular?

Buffy: That about sums it up.

Cordelia: Bummer for her. It's awful to feel that lonely.

Buffy: Hmm. So you've read something about the feeling?

Cordelia: Hey! You think I'm never lonely because I'm so cute and popular? I can be surrounded by people and be completely alone. It's not like any of them really know me. I don't even know if they like me half the time. People just want to be in a popular zone. Sometimes when I talk, 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.

Buffy: You know what you were saying before? I understand. Somehow it doesn't seem to matter how popular you are when...

Cordelia: You were popular? In what alternate universe?

Buffy: In L.A. Th-the point is, I did sort of feel like something was missing.

Cordelia: Is that when you became weird and got kicked out?

Buffy: Okay. Can we have the heartfelt talk with a little less talk from you?
