5.02 Real Me
Riley: Morning, Mrs. Summers. You look great.Joyce: Oh, thank you, Riley.
Buffy: Suck up.
Riley: What? It's a nice outfit.
Buffy: Mm-hmm.
Riley: Besides, "I'm here to violate your firstborn" never goes over with parents. Not sure why.
Dawn Voiceover: Riley, my sister's boyfriend, is so into her. They're always kissing ... and groping. I bet they have sex!
Buffy: Well, this is a surprise of the nicest kind.
Riley: Now it's my turn to be surprised. I thought we had plans today.
Buffy: Plans? We planned plans?
Riley: Well, you said, uh, "come over tomorrow and we'll hang," and then I said, "OK." Not the invasion of Normandy, but still a plan.
Buffy: Right.
Riley: We're not hangin' today, are we?
Buffy: Giles is on his way to pick me up.
Riley: Oh, slayer training.
Buffy: Slayer shopping, actually, but equally as important.
Riley: I have no doubt. Okay, well, we'll hook up later.
Buffy: Are you mad at me?
Riley: Oh, no, not at all. I'm plotting your death, but in a happy way.
Buffy: Good.
Riley: Look, Buffy, I know what this means to you. I think it's great that you've got this new mission. I'll see you tonight.
Riley: So you want your mother to give you space to be a slayer, and shield you from it at the same time.
Buffy: Thank you, logic boy. Did I mention this is a rant? Sense really has no place in it.
Riley: I'm getting that. What's the deal, Buffy? You seem really-
Riley: Uh-uh. Back to what I was saying before we were rudely attacked by nothing. You seem really tense.
Buffy: Yeah, there's a new vampire gang in town.
Riley: I mean domestically tense. You're on Dawn's case a lot.
Buffy: I guess. It's just... I don't know, it ... I know it's always been this way. She's the baby. But for some reason lately, it's just really getting to me. She's always around.
Riley: Well, yeah. You're like her idol, Buffy.
Buffy: Her idol? I don't think so, unless you like to spill things on your idol's new leather pants, and-
Riley: You know what I mean. You have super powers ... and college ... a studly yet sensitive boyfriend...
Buffy: And a pesky life-or-death job that I can't quit or even take a break from.
Riley: She doesn't get the sacrifices. She's a kid.
