Willow: Ah, the fumigation party.
Buffy: Hmm?
Willow: It's an annual tradition. The closing of the Bronze for a few days to nuke the cockroaches?
Buffy: (not paying attention) Oh.
Willow: It's a lot of fun... What's it like where you are?
Buffy: (looks up and smiles) I'm... sorry, I was just... thinking about things...
Willow: So, we're talking about a guy?
Buffy: Not exactly a guy. For us to have a conversation about a guy, there'd have to be a guy for us to have a conversation about. Is that a sentence?
Willow: (smiles) You lack a guy.
Buffy: I do. Which is fine with me, most of the time, but...
Willow: What about Angel?
Buffy: Angel? I can just see him in a relationship. 'Hi, honey, you're in grave danger. I'll see you next month.'
Willow: He's not around much, it's true.
Buffy: (looks dreamy) When he is around... it's like the lights dim everywhere else. You know how it's like that with some guys?
Willow: Oh, yeah. (Looks over to a dancing Xander.)

Willow: Okay, so let's review. Reconstruction began when? (looks up) Buffy?
Buffy: Huh? (comes back to earth) Oh! Um, reconstruction... Uh, reconstruction began after the... construction, which was... shoddy, so they had to reconstruct.
Willow: After the destruction of the Civil War.
Buffy: Right. Civil War. During which Angel was already, like, a hundred and change...
Willow: Are we gonna talk about boys, or are we gonna help you pass history? Sometimes I have this fantasy that Xander's just gonna grab me and kiss me right on the lips. (huge smile)
Buffy: You want Xander, you've gotta speak up, girl!
Willow: No, no, no, no. No speaking up. That way leads to madness and sweaty palms. Okay, so here's something I gotta know. When Angel kissed you... I mean before he turned into... how was it?
Buffy: (smiles) Unbelievable!
Willow: Wow! And it is kinda novel how he'll stay young and handsome forever, although you'll still get wrinkly and die, and... Oh, and what about the children? (Buffy looks at her) I'll be quiet now.
Buffy: No, it's okay. I need to hear this. I need to get over him so I can...
Willow: So that you can... (makes a stabbing gesture)
Buffy: Like Xander said, I'm the Slayer, and he's a... vampire. God, I can't! He's never done anything to hurt me... Okay, no, I need to stop thinking about this. Okay, let's give another half an hour and maybe something will sink in. And then I'm going home for some major moping.

Buffy: Nah. It's weird, though. In his way I feel like he's still watching me.
Willow: Well, in a way he sort of is. In the way of that he's right over there.
