DAWN: (to Willow) What was she talking about? I mean, that was weird.

WILLOW: She's gonna be fine.

BUFFY: It's okay. I'm sorry, the doctor spoke to me, and uh, I should have told you. Um, the, the thing that's pressing on her brain, sometimes it, it might make her say weird things.

DAWN: Does she know she's saying them?

BUFFY: Not really. It's sort of like a flash, you know, but you saw her two seconds afterward. She was normal.

WILLOW: And after the operation, no more pressing. She'll be all normal all the time.

DAWN: (to Buffy) Is that right?

BUFFY: Hey, Santa doesn't lie.
