Ms. Calendar: (to Buffy and Xander) You're here again? Kids really dig the library, don't you?
Buffy: We're literary!
Xander: To read makes our speaking English good.

Willow : Oh, Riley. Hi.
Riley : Hi. Gee, I hope I'm not interrupting anything really depressing.
Willow : What's up?
Riley : Right to the point, ok. I was thinking of asking out Buffy.
Willow : She's not here.
Riley : I know. See, I don't know that much about Buffy. But I'm interested in what she likes, and so far, well, the only thing that I know she likes is you.
Willow : What--what do you want me to do?
Riley : Just tell me something. Anything.. Just something that will start us talking, you know? I'm thinking that "how 'bout them broncos" won't really cut it.
Willow : Ok, say that I help, and you start a conversation. It goes great. You like Buffy, she likes you. You spend time together, feelings grow deeper, and one day, without even realizing it, you find you're in love. Time stops, And it feels like the whole world's made for you two, and you two alone, until the day one of you leaves and rips the still-beating heart from the other, who's now a broken, hollow, mockery of the human condition.
Riley : Yep, that's the plan.
