Buffy: Those are pretty flowers.
Debbie: Thanks. Pete brought them for me.
Pete: Yeah. Well, I-I'm sure Scott does that kind of stuff for you, too, Buffy.
Scott: Oh, well, we're not up to flowers. (to Buffy) Are we? Up to flowers? Did I miss flowers?
Buffy: (reassuringly) No. We're pre-posy. Definitely.

BUFFY: Who would've thought?
GILES: Some are even, uh... shortsighted, foolish people.
