GILES: (practicing) W-w-w-what I'm proposing is, um... and I-I don't mean to appear indecorous, is, is, um, a, a-a-a social engagement, um, a, a, a, a-a date, if you're amenable. (to himself) You idiot!

BUFFY: Boy... I guess we never realized how much you like that chair.

GILES: I-I-I was just working on...

BUFFY: Your pickup lines?

GILES: Um, in a manner of speaking, yes.

BUFFY: Then if you wouldn't mind a little Gene and Roger, you might wanna leave off the 'idiot' part. Being called an idiot tends to take people out of the dating mood.

XANDER: Hmm, it actually kinda turns me on.

BUFFY: (to Xander) I fear you. (to Giles) You also might wanna avoid words like 'amenable' and 'indecorous', y'know. Speak English, not whatever they speak in, um...

GILES: England?

BUFFY: Yeah. You just say, 'Hey, I got a thing, you maybe have a thing, maybe we could have a thing.'

GILES: Oh, thank you, Cyrano.

BUFFY: I'm not finished. Then you say, 'How do you feel about Mexican?'

GILES: About Mexicans?

BUFFY: Mexican. Food. You take her for food, for which you then pay.

GILES: Oh. Right.

XANDER: So this chair-woman. We are talking Ms. Calendar, right?

GILES: W-what makes you think that?

XANDER: Simple deduction. Ms. Calendar is reasonably dollsome, especially for someone in your age bracket. She already knows that you're a school librarian, so you don't have to worry about how to break that embarrassing news to her.

BUFFY: And she's the only woman we've actually ever seen speak to you. Add it all up and it all spells 'duh'.

XANDER: Now, is it time to have a talk about the facts of life?

GILES: You know, I'm suddenly deciding this is none of your business.

XANDER: Y'know, because that whole stork thing is a smoke screen.
