Joyce: "I think we're
just about ready for pie."
Xander: "And then I'll be pretty much ready for barf."
Buffy: "Xander!"
Dawn: "Gross."
Xander: "You know, barf from the eating. 'Cause all was good and too
much goodness."
Joyce: "I'm taking it as a compliment."
Giles: "Yes, everything was delicious."
Anya: "Yes. I'm going to barf, too."
Joyce: "Everyone's so sweet."
Willow: "Santa always passes me by. Something puts him off... could be the big honk menorah."
Dawn: "Um, guys -
hello, puberty? Sort of figured out the whole no-Santa thing."
Anya: "That's a myth."
Dawn: "Yeah."
Anya: "No, I mean, it's a myth that it's a myth. There is a Santa
Claus."
Xander: "The advantage of having a thousand-year-old girlfriend.
Inside scoop."
Tara: "There's a Santa Claus?"
Anya: "Mm-hmm. Been around since, like, the 1500s. But he wasn't
always called Santa. But with, you know, Christmas night, flying reindeer, coming down the
chimney -- all true."
Dawn: "All true?"
Anya: "Well, he doesn't traditionally bring presents so much as, you
know, disembowel children. But otherwise..."
Willow: "The reindeer part was nice."
Tara: "Did I miss
something?"
Anya: "Xander decided that he blames the wall."
Dawn: "I have to
pee."
Buffy: "Do you want someone to go with you?"
Dawn: "No. I still remember how to pee."
Buffy: "Dawn, Mom died
this morning. While we were both at school, she --"
Dawn: "No..."
Buffy: "I don't know exactly what happened, but, she's dead..."
Dawn: "No. NO NO No No you're lying you're lying she's fine she's
FINE and you're lying oh no no please please no you're lying she's fine, she's
fine..."
Anya: "I don't understand how this all happens, how we go through this, I mean I knew her and then she's, there's just a body, I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead, it's stupid, it's mortal and stupid, Xander's crying and not talking and I was having fruit punch and I thought that Joyce would never have any more fruit punch and she'd never have eggs, or yawn, or brush her hair, not ever and no one will explain..."
Anya: "I wish that
Joyce didn't die. Because she was nice. And now we all hurt."
Xander: "Anya -- ever the wordsmith."
Buffy: "Thank you."
