BUFFY: (on phone) Xander, I know. I'm sorry?If you're gonna take a shower at my house, lock the door. Of course they're curious. Hey, I gotta go. Uh, has Giles checked in yet? I thought he was picking up that Chao-Ahn girl in Shanghai yesterday. OK, well, uh, let me know if he does. Bye. Amanda, right? I'm all yours.

AMANDA: Do people ever think you're weird?

BUFFY: Um, I guess. Sure, in a charming, endearing, loveable... Yeah.

AMANDA: I feel like people think I'm weird, and so they pick on me. But I might be?weird.

BUFFY: Amanda, why do you think that you're weird?

AMANDA: One of the boys who picks on me, I kind of?See, if a guy picks on you, is it weird to think he's cute?

BUFFY: Oh..

AMANDA: It's just, the last few times I've seen him, I've wanted to, you know, pick on him....extra. More.

BUFFY: Uh-huh.

AMANDA: The thing is, I can't tell. My mom says when a guy teases you, it means he likes you.

BUFFY: Sometimes that's true.

AMANDA: Is it weird? We're mean to each other, and we like each other.

BUFFY: Well, it depends. Sometimes that's how people relate. Being mean to each other. Even mortal enemies? (gets carried away with the sub-text) Then with the? And that leads to no good, absolutely no good. And much confusion. A-and then it's over. Absolutely, seriously, definitely over. And that's confusing too. The over part. Which it is. Over! (catches herself, calms a bit) So, maybe.

(Amanda looks somewhat confused. Buffy smiles.)
