(Buffy notices Parker at a table laughing with friends)

BUFFY: You know I, uhm, I forgot - to (puts her food down and turns to leave) be hungry.

WILLOW: Wait, Buffy. Buffy. Don't let jerky Parker chase you away.

BUFFY: He didn't. I just don't want to deal with this right now. I'm taking a holiday from dealing, happily vacationing in the land of not coping.

WILLOW: You know what, you'll feel better at the party tonight. Maybe you'll even meet someone.

BUFFY: Willow, I don't want to meet someone. I've reached my quota on someones. Besides, I think I'm gonna have to patrol anyway.

WILLOW: Tonight, but... it's Halloween!?

BUFFY: I'll double check with Giles, but I'm sure he's going to think I should be on active Slayer duty. He doesn't care about Halloween.
