BUFFY: No, I-I can't go to the dance.
JOYCE: Says who? Is it written somewhere? You should do what you want. Homecoming, my freshman year of college. I didn't have a date, so I got dressed up and I went anyway.
BUFFY: Was it awful?
JOYCE: It was awful. For about an hour.
BUFFY: Then what happened?
JOYCE: (smiles) I met your father.
BUFFY: He didn't have a date either?
JOYCE: He did. And that's a much funnier story that you will *not* get to hear. Oh, but it was a beautiful night! (exhales)
BUFFY: And you had your whole life ahead of you. Joyce: Yeah. Buffy: Must be nice.

Giles: This is very bad.
Xander: Are we overreacting? He's in a computer! What can he do?
Buffy: You mean besides convince a perfectly nice kid to try and kill me? I don't know. How about mess up all the medical equipment in the world?
Giles: Randomize traffic signals.
Buffy: Access launch codes for our nuclear missiles.
Giles: Destroy the world's economy.
Buffy: I think I pretty much capped it with that nuclear missile thing.
Giles: Right, yours was best.
