(Dawn tries to sneak in the house)

BUFFY: Dawn. You wanna come talk to me?

DAWN: (under her breath) Ambush.

BUFFY: I wanted to tell you that I talked to R.J. today. He's OK. I think he likes you.

DAWN: Really? Tell me what he said about me?every word?including intonation and facial expressions.

BUFFY: Well, he thinks you're-you're funny and-and pretty and interesting. Didn't have a thing to say against you.

DAWN: Yes, he did. I can tell.

BUFFY: The tiniest thing. He might have said that you came on a little strong.

DAWN: Oh, my God! I'm the pushy queen of slut town.

BUFFY: No, honey, honey, not at all. No, no. It's just?you know, lay back a little. Let him come to you.

DAWN: I'm just scared that while I'm laying back, some other girl's gonna come and sweep him up.

BUFFY: But we have inside info. We know he doesn't like being swept. He likes to be the sweeper. Dawn, you're gonna come out the winner here, with me looking out for you.

DAWN: Yeah, I guess so. Thank you.
