Quotes 

• Buffy : Mom, I've accepted that you've had sex. I am not ready to know that you had Farrah hair.

  Joyce : This is Gidget hair. Don't they teach you anything in History?

• Buffy : [returning home, her mother's opening a wooden crate]  Hey.

  Joyce : Hi. How was school?

  Buffy : Mm. Joy. What's all this?

  Joyce : It's for the tribal art display.

  Buffy : Ooh. We had tryouts today.

  Joyce : Oh, great. How did it go?

  Buffy : I didn't actually get to try out. There was an accident. Pretty fierce competition, though.

  Joyce : I know you'll do fine. Keep up, you'll just have to get back on the horse.

  Buffy : Mom...?

  Joyce : Yeah?

  Buffy : What was the tryout for?

  Joyce : Oh, yeah... Some activity?

  [shakes her head] 

  Joyce : I have no idea. I'm sorry.

  Buffy : That's okay. Your platitudes are good for all occasions.

  Joyce : I'm distracted.

  [sighs] 

  Joyce : Got a lot of inventory to go through here.

  [struggles with crate] 

  Joyce : It's my gallery's first major show. You know, it might not physically kill you to give me a hand here.

  Buffy : [rips off the lid like it's made of carton]  Oh, it's cheerleading.

  Joyce : Oh, good! I'm glad you're taking that up again, it will keep you out of trouble.

  Buffy : I'm not *in* trouble.

  Joyce : [absentmindedly, busy with crate's contents]  No, not yet.

  [realizes] 

  Joyce : I mean, you stopped cheerleading just before the trouble, so it's good you're going back.

  [as Buffy opens refrigerator:] 

  Joyce : Oh, dear...

  Buffy : [turns away from fridge]  What?

  Joyce : A fertility statue. You don't need to see it.

  Buffy : You know... there's this girl, Amy, and her, uhm...

  Joyce : Uh-uh.

  [busy] 

  Buffy : Sounds like her Mom's pretty in to it.

  Joyce : Sounds like her Mom doesn't have a lot to do.

  [goes off] 

  Buffy : [as Joyce's footsteps fade, takes a peek at fertility statue]  Jeepers!
