DAWN: I like the Jello.
JOYCE: Help yourself. There's something about food that moves by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.
DAWN: It's good and wiggly. This girl at school told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet, and that if you eat Jello there's some cows out limping with no feet.
Joyce and Buffy grimace.
DAWN: But I told her I'm sure they kill 'em before they take off their feet. Right?
