Giles:Buffy's surprise party will go ahead as we planned. Except I won't be wearing the little hat.

Willow: But Buffy and Angel...

Giles: May well be in danger... as they have been before, and, I imagine, will be again. One thing I've learned in my tenure here on the Hellmouth is that there is no good time to relax. And Buffy's turning 17 just this once, and she deserves a party.

Xander: You're a great man of our time.

Willow: And anyway, Angel's coming. So she'll be able to protect him *and* have cake.

Giles: Precisely.

Happy Birthday, Buffy Anne Summers!
