(Buffy & Giles are training throughout)

BUFFY: So, can I go?

GILES: I think not.

BUFFY: (pouts) How come?

GILES: Because you are the Chosen One.

BUFFY: Mm. Just this once I'd like to be the Overlooked One.

GILES: Well, I'm... afraid that is not... You have responsibilities that other girls do not.

BUFFY: Oh! I know this one! Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah, blah, bity blah, I'm so stuffy, gimme a scone.

GILES: (sarcastically) It's as if you know me. Your secret identity is gonna be difficult enough to maintain while this exchange student is living with you.

XANDER: Nooot... *with* her. In the same house as her. Am I the only one who's objective enough to make that distinction?

BUFFY: So! I think going to the dance like a normal person would be the best way to keep that secret. Giles, come on, budge! No one likes a non- budger. (she gives a hard kick)

GILES: FINE! Go.

BUFFY: Yay! I win.

GILES: I'll just go and introduce my shoulder to a, an icepack.
