Buffy:  I couldn’t believe Angel. He was acting all jealous, and he wouldn’t even admit it.

Willow:  Jealous of what?

Buffy:  Of Xander.

Willow:  Because you did that sexy dance with him?

Buffy:  Am I ever gonna live that down?

Buffy:  Anyway, he was being totally irrational.

Willow:  Love makes you do the wacky.

Buffy:  That’s the truth.

Xander:  Y’know, this might go a lot faster if you femmes actually picked up a shovel, too.

Giles:  Here, here.

Buffy:  Sorry, but I’m an old-fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and the women have the babies.
