WILLOW: What do you think? The, the, the purple, right? 'Cause, 'cause it's somber? No. No, it's too depressing, i-it's like, um, a ... funeral, god, I ... Well, this is, this is cheerier, maybe, I-I wanna be cheery, like, like everything is normal? No, that's rude, that's, that's disrespectful. "La la la! I don't care!" If I had that blue one - Jo-Joyce really liked the blue one. She told me one time. You, you sure it's not in your room?

TARA: I-I-I could look again.

WILLOW: No, no, I-I, I should, I should wear the purple The purple, I, I, I think the purple, it's just that it's so, I don't know, i-it doesn't mean something bad?

TARA: I think it's, um ... royal. Purple means ... royalty.

WILLOW: Well, I can't see Buffy at the morgue and be all royal! "Oh, I'm the king of everything, I'm better than you!" I have to be supportive, I, Buffy needs me to be supportive, I... God, why do all my shirts have such stupid things on them? Why can't I just dress like a grownup? Can't I be a grownup?

TARA: Shh. Shh, darling.

WILLOW: (crying) I can't do this.

(Tara kisses her on the forehead, then on the mouth. Willow returns the kiss. Then Tara leans her forehead against Willow's. )

TARA: We can do this.

WILLOW: Okay. We can be there for Buffy. And Dawn. (crying) Little Dawn.

TARA: We can be strong.

WILLOW: Strong like an Amazon?

TARA: Strong like an Amazon, right.

WILLOW: Okay. (nods, sniffles) I wish I had the blue.
