Buffy : Riley! What are you doing here?
Riley : Well, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you after the party. You left so fast. You know, with your friend... Who's a boy.
Buffy : Uh, xander? He's not anyone that I... Want to talk about, right now. Um... You know, I don't want you taking this the wrong way... It's just, um... I need a little alone time now... Alone.
Riley : Why?
Buffy : I need space.
Riley : We're outdoors.
Buffy : Emotionally. (She pauses looking for something better to say and gives up.)I mean, emotionally...
Riley : You know, there's plenty of space back in your room why don't I take you? You wouldn't believe the weirdos out at this hour.
Buffy : Whoa! Ok... It's a free campus. Who died and made you John Wayne?
Riley : I'm just trying to help.
Buffy : You think I need help? Believe me, I don't. You know, if you were a real gentleman, then you would just leave. You would go far, far away, now! Shoo!
