BUFFY: (studying a piece of paper) There's a lot of books on this list. Any of them come on tape? You know, read by George Clooney or someone cute like that?

GILES: You're entering a new realm here, Buffy. One for which I myself am not entirely prepared. Are you ready for this commitment?

BUFFY: I'm just kidding! Hey, this Betty's ready. Color me committed.

(The car engine races as Giles tries to shift. )

GILES: Blast!

BUFFY: You put it in neutral again, huh?

GILES: I'm just not used to this automatic transmission. I-I loathe this sitting here, not contributing. No, i-it's not working out.

BUFFY: Giles, are you breaking up with your car?

GILES: Well, it did seduce me, all red and sporty!

BUFFY: Little two-door tramp.
