JOYCE: Hello?
DARLA: Hi! I'm Darla? A friend of Buffy's?
JOYCE: Oh! Nice to meet you.
DARLA: She didn't mention anything about me coming over for a study date, did she?
JOYCE: No, I thought she was studying with Willow at the library.
DARLA: She is. Willow's the Civil War expert, but then I was supposed to help her with the War of Independence. My family kinda goes back to those days.
