XANDER: Well, burial detail aside, does this cap us off for the day?

BUFFY: You got plans?

XANDER: I cannot stress enough how much I *don't* have plans.

BUFFY: No luck reaching Cordelia?

XANDER: I've left a few messages. Sixty... Seventy... But you know what really bugs me? (to Willow) Okay, we kissed. It was a mistake. But I know that was positively the last time we were *ever* gonna kiss.

WILLOW: Darn tootin'!

XANDER: And they burst in, rescuing us, without even knocking? I mean, this is really *all* their fault.

BUFFY: Your logic does *not* resemble our Earth logic.

XANDER: Mine is much more advanced.

WILLOW: At least tomorrow's Monday, another school day.

BUFFY: Well, that's good. You know, focus on school. That's the strong Willow way to heal.

WILLOW: Actually, I was more thinking Oz will be there, and I can beg for forgiveness.

BUFFY: That works, too.

WILLOW: I-I wanna be strong Willow. But then I think I may never get to be close to Oz again, and it's like all the air just goes out of the room.

BUFFY: I know the feeling.

XANDER: Right. I mean, you went through it with Angel, and you're still standing. So tell us, Wise One, how do you deal?

BUFFY: I have you guys.
