WILLOW: It's like a sickness, Buffy. I'm just missing everything. I miss P.E.

BUFFY: I think it's contagious. The whole senior class has turned into the Sixties, or what I would have imagined the Sixties would have been like without the war and the hairy armpits.

WILLOW: You don't feel it?

BUFFY: No, I don't. I guess I'll miss stuff, but I just don't get the whole graduation thing. I mean you get a piece of paper and nothing changes. I don't even think I'm gonna go.

WILLOW: (affectionately to soda machine) Old trusty soda machine. I push you for root beer, you give me coke. (frowning at Buffy) What do you mean, not go? Why not?

BUFFY: Ascension. Mayor becoming a demon. Snacking up on populace. I was planning on fighting him.

WILLOW: You can't do both?

XANDER: Both what?

BUFFY: Go to graduation and fight the Mayor.

XANDER: The Mayor? What, you guys didn't hear?

BUFFY: Hear what?

XANDER: Guess who our commencement speaker is?

WILLOW: Siegfried?

XANDER: No.

WILLOW: Roy?

XANDER: No.

WILLOW: One of the tigers?

XANDER: Come out of the fantasy, Will.

BUFFY: I don't believe this.

XANDER: Lends credence to my whole "I'm gonna die" theorem, doesn't it?
