You have responsibilities that other girls do not.
Oh! I know this one! Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah biddy blah, I'm so stuffy, give me a scone.
It's as if you know me.

What does a girl have to do to impress you?
Well, it involves a feather boa and the theme to A Summer Place. I can't discuss it here.
DDevon
You're too picky, man. Do you know how many girls you could have? You're lead guitar, Oz. It's currency!
I'm not picky. You're just impressed by any pretty girl that can walk and talk.
DDevon
She doesn't have to talk.
You are always thinking of others before yourself. You remind me of someone from very long ago. The Inca Princess.
Cool! A princess.
They told her that she was the only one. That only she could defend her people from the nether world. Out of all the girls in her generation... she was the only one... chosen. Do you know the story?
It's fairly familiar.
She was sixteen, like us. She was offered as a sacrifice and went to her death. Who knows what she had to give up to fulfill her duty to others?
Okay, I have something to tell you. And it's kind of a secret, and it's, um, a little bit scary. I like you. A lot. And I want you to go to with me the dance.
[laughs] Why was that so scary?
Well, because you never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if... she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.
Hmm. Then you are very courageous.
I just, present company excluded, I have the worst taste in women of anyone in the world, ever.
Ampata wasn't evil. At least not to begin with, and... I-I do think she cared about you.
Yeah, but I think that whole sucking the life out of people thing would have been a strain on the relationship.
She was gypped. She was just a girl, and she had her life taken away from her. I remember how I felt when I heard the prophecy that I was gonna die. I wasn't exactly obsessed with doing the right thing.
Yeah, but you did. You gave up your life.
I had you to bring me back.
Buffy, I do not have any lipstick.
Oh, you can borrow one of mine. There should be some on the desk.
What is that?
The station sent the rest of your stuff.
Oh, of-of course. I-I forgot all about it. I will unpack it later.
No worries. I can do it.
But you must get ready for the dance.
I'm not going.
Why not?
I have work to do, Crime Club work. It's really nothing for you to worry about.
Oh, I am not worried, thanks to Xander.
He seems very happy around you.
I am happy, too. Mmm, this one?
Oh, no, that clashes. There should be a gold one in there somewhere.
Thank you. You're always thinking of others before yourself. You remind me of someone from very long ago, the Inca Princess.
Cool. A princess.
They told her that she was the only one, that only she could defend her people from the netherworld. Out of all the girls in her generation, she was the only one--
Chosen.
You know the story?
It's fairly familiar.
She was 16, like us. She was offered as a sacrifice and went to her death. Who knows what she had to give up to fulfill her duty to others? What chance at love?
Who knows? I'll just unpack the rest of your stuff for you.
No, really, let me.
Oh! That's Xander and Willow. I'll get it.
