PC: You have mail.

WILLOW: It's him!

Message: I'm thinking of you.

WILLOW: He's so sweet!

BUFFY: (nods) He's a sweetie.

WILLOW: What should I write back?

BUFFY: Uh, Willow, I think it's really great that you have this cool pen pal, but don't you think you're kinda rushing all into this? Y'know what I mean?

WILLOW: (excitedly) 'I'm thinking of you, too!' (crestfallen) No, that's incredibly stupid!

BUFFY: Will, down girl! Let's focus here, okay? What do you actually know about this guy?

WILLOW: Oh, see, I knew you'd react like this.

BUFFY: Like what? I just wanna make sure you're careful, that's all.

WILLOW: Buffy...

BUFFY: He could be different than you think.

(...)

WILLOW: His name is Malcolm Black, he's eighteen, he lives in Elmwood, which is about eighty miles from here, and he likes me!

BUFFY: Short, tall, skinny, fat?

WILLOW: Why does everything have to be about looks?

BUFFY: Not everything, but some stuff is. I mean, what if you guys get really, really intense, and then you find out that he... has... a hairy back?

WILLOW: Well, no! Uh, he doesn't talk like somebody who would have a hairy back. And anyways, that stuff doesn't matter when you really care about each other. Maybe I'm not his ideal either.

BUFFY: Hey, I'm just trying to make sure that he's good enough for you. I think it's great that you met someone.
