WILLOW: Carpe diem. You told me that once.
BUFFY: Seize the fish?
WILLOW: Not carp. Carpe. It means seize the day.

WILLOW: Wow.
BUFFY: Yeah.
WILLOW: Wow...
Buffy notices OZ, guitar in hand, walking ahead.
BUFFY: Ooh, speaking of wow potential, there's Oz. What are we thinking? Any sparkage there?

BUFFY: You think he's too old cuz he's a senior? Please. My boyfriend had a bicentennial.
WILLOW: That's true, I guess... I just...

WILLOW: What if the talking thing becomes the awkward silence thing?
BUFFY: You won't know unless you try. Come on, Will - seize the fish!
