Buffy: (to Willow, about Oz) You think he's too old 'cause he's a senior? Please! My boyfriend had a bicentennial.
 
Oz: I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night. And I'm kinda nervous about it, actually. It's interesting.
Willow: Oh. Well, if it helps at all, I'm gonna say yes.
Oz: Yeah, it helps. It - it creates a comfort zone. Do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?
Willow: (slaps her forehead) Oh! I can't!
Oz: Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable.
 
Willow: Are you okay?
Oz: Yeah. Hey, did everybody see that guy just turn to dust?
Willow: Uh, well, uh... sort of.
Xander: Yep. Vampires are real. A lot of them live in Sunnydale. Willow will fill you in.
Willow: I know it's hard to accept at first.
Oz: Actually, it explains a lot.
