Joyce: Dawn, be good.
Xander: Oh, we will. We're just gonna play with matches, run with scissors, take candy from... some guy ... I don't know his name.
Dawn (VO): Xander treats everyone like an equal. He doesn't look down on people.
Anya: Hello there, little girl.
Dawn (VO): Even when he should.

Anya: Well, we could play that game again, Life. That was fun.
Dawn: For you. You always win.
Anya: Well... we can make a wager this time. You can give me real money. That would be different.
Xander: And after we teach her to gamble, maybe we can all get drunk!
Anya: I don't think the bar would serve her, but we could bring something in. Strawberry schnapps taste just like real ice cream.

Dawn: If we get Buffy, can, can she start on opening the presents? It's been enough time, hasn't it?
Anya: Not yet, sweetie.
Xander: I think Buffy's busy right now.
Anya: *as if Dawn's a small child* Buffy's making a new friend. A grown-up friend.
Dawn: What, you mean the guy you invited to set her up with?
Anya: Nothing.
Dawn: It's not like I don't understand why you invited him. I was there, remember? I can hear you when I'm in the room, you know? I do understand these things.
Anya: Yes you do! *pats Dawn's head*
Dawn: You know I'm in high school, right?
Anya: Yes you are!
