JOYCE: So Buffy, what are your plans today?

BUFFY: Oh, actually, Giles and I are gonna go to the magic shop for supplies for my new and improved training sessions.

JOYCE: Oh, that's great.

BUFFY: Oh, yeah, I'm actually-

JOYCE: (interrupts) You can take Dawn shopping for back to school supplies.

BUFFY: What??

DAWN: Mom, I-I thought you were taking me.

JOYCE: Well, honey, I've got the Gurion showing tonight, and there's so much to do to get the gallery ready.

BUFFY: No, but, see, Mom -- That doesn't really work for me. We're just going to the magic shop. No school supplies there.

DAWN: Yeah, Mom, I'm not going to Hogwarts.

(She giggles at her own joke till she notices Buffy looking annoyed and confused.)

DAWN: Geez, crack a book sometime.

JOYCE: Look, I'm sure Giles doesn't mind dropping you and your sister off at the mall afterwards.

BUFFY: Actually, he does mind. This is supposed to be quality Watcher/slayer time. I told you, she completely ruined my training yesterday.

DAWN: Did not!

BUFFY: Oh, you know you did too.

JOYCE: Buffy. I realize the importance of your new slayer thing, but-

(Knock on door.)

JOYCE: -I could really use your help.
