BUFFY: Come on, Mom, please?

JOYCE: I'm sorry, honey.

BUFFY: Don't you understand how important this is?

JOYCE: It's an outfit. An outfit that you may never buy.

BUFFY: But I looked good in it.

JOYCE: You looked like a streetwalker.

BUFFY: But a thin streetwalker. That's probably not gonna be the winning argument, is it?

JOYCE: You're just too young to wear that.

BUFFY: Yeah, and I'm gonna be too young to wear it until I'm too old to wear it.

JOYCE: That's the idea. The stores are closing, and I still need to order the flyers for the opening. Okay. I'll go to the printers and then get our food, you go to the tailor and pick up my outfit from Everyday Woman.

BUFFY: Everyday Woman?

JOYCE: Mm-hm. There's the receipt.

BUFFY: Why didn't you just go to Muu-Muus R Us?

JOYCE: Do now, make fun of your mother later.
