JOYCE: Was he the first? No, wait. I don't wanna know. I don't think I want to.

BUFFY: Yeah. He was the first. I mean, the only.

JOYCE: He's older than you.

BUFFY: I know.

JOYCE: Too old, Buffy. And he's obviously not very stable. I really wish... I just thought you would show more judgment.

BUFFY: He wasn't like this before.

JOYCE: Are you in love with him?

BUFFY: I was.

JOYCE: Were you careful?

BUFFY: Mom, this is no time...

JOYCE: Don't 'Mom' me, Buffy. You don't get to get out of this. You had sex with a boy you *didn't* even see fit to tell me you were dating.

BUFFY: I made a mistake.

JOYCE: Yeah, well, don't just say that to shut me up, because I think you really did.

BUFFY: I know that! I-I can't tell you everything.

JOYCE: How about anything? Buffy, you can shut me out of your life, I am pretty much used to that. But don't expect me to ever stop caring about you, because it's never gonna happen. I love you more than anything in the world. That would be your cue to, uh, roll your eyes and tell me I'm grossing you out.

BUFFY: You're not.

JOYCE: Oh, well... I guess that was the talk.

BUFFY: So how'd it go?

JOYCE: I don't know. It was my first.
