Sarah: Buffy works at the doublemeat place, I work at a hell of a joint

(cuts to a clip of from the Season 3 episode Anne )

Buffy: Anything else?
Roughneck: That'll do us, Peaches.
She tears off their bill and puts it on the table.
Buffy: Pay at the counter.
Roughneck: Sure you don't want me to work it off for you?
The other roughneck laughs at that. Buffy walks away, and as she goes he reaches out with his hand and slaps her on the behind. Buffy stops in her tracks. The two men just chuckle. She turns her head slightly, but thinks better of doing anything about it.

(cuts back to sarah and Blackwood)

Sarah: I was hiding from you in the beginning, god forbid you to see my orange outfit.
Blackwood: What, What kind of orange outfit are we talking about?
Sarah: My hat has a cow on it and a rooster back

----- SECOND PART BELOW-----

Double Post (next time use the edit button!):

cuts to the clip of Buffy coming back to life from Season 6 premiere)

Blackwood: Oh no, no
Sarah: You guys said you were coming, no backing out
Blackwood: I thought you filmed in like a studio cemetery, I didn't realise you'd got o a real
Sarah: Well no, In the first season we would always go to a real cemetery, but I had really bad issues and I couldn't, like I would cry all the time, I was such a puss. Can you say that?
Blackwood: Yes, you just did
Sarah: Puss"¦And ah"¦
Blackwood: That's good
Sarah: I don't know what you can say and what you cant say!
Blackwood: Just test it out, just test it out
Sarah: Yea and then when this is on, its all bleep, bleep, bleep
Blackwood: No we'll keep them, don't worry, we'll be like (makes a yanking movement with hands) "¦no throw it back in
Sarah: And then they build the cemetery, but five years later, and there's still only three tombstones, it looks, it looks kind of pathetic
Blackwood: Same ones back there?
Sarah: Those three tombstones yeah, they were usually people who got fired from our show in the first couple of seasons, when you get fired instead of a cake, you get a tombstone
Blackwood: And the tree, you got trees with wheels
Sarah: We have trees with wheels, yes we do
Blackwood: Only on Buffy
Sarah: We have homes on wheel's, I'm like the only high paid actor that lives in a trailor park
(Blackwood laughs)
Blackwood: you know what, have you ever thought of doing stand-up?
Sarah: I tried it once, and I have to honestly say, it was the scariest moment of my life and I realised the trick to stand up is to don't have someone else write your jokes
Blackwood: Yes
Sarah: Because then if they bombed, I wanna go hey hey I didn't write that one
Blackwood: And you cant
Sarah: Right, cause then"¦then they don't care
Blackwood: And most of the time, the person has walked out of the room anyway, so you can't even point to them
Sarah: Right, and see the thing for me too, is that I have to realise that people laugh at me, not with me, and so I have to get over that
Blackwood: No, no, no. You are very funny, you actually have an....I'm a stand-up"¦you have a natural gift, I'm hearing it
Sarah: Are you stand-up?
Blackwood: Yes. That's terrible isn't it?
Sarah: *laughs* I know, you told me already
Blackwood: I set myself up, are you ready? Okay, I set myself up, I'm cool
Sarah: You wanna hear my funny comedy?
Blackwood: Go ahead, go ahead. I gotta judge it though you know? You know that right?
Sarah: I know, you won't think this is funny, I have confidence
Blackwood: Oh okay, go ahead
Sarah: You'll understand, this is like a story. It could be a tragic story if it didn't end well.
Blackwood: Yeah, that's true
Sarah: So I first come to LA, and you know, I just signed with an agent, and they're talking to me, and anyway, so she looks at me and she said "˜but are you funny?'. Now we know the funny answer is no, so she said "˜are you funny' and I said no, she went "˜okay', and so six months later, I haven't gone out on one comedy anything, nothing comedy, nothing funny, all like serious drama like all those teen movies, you know like "˜my mother was a whore and killed my stepfather, and now I'm going to"¦what do they call them? Disease of the week movies"¦(Blackwood: yeah)"¦and so finally I called her up and I said how come I don't get sent out on any comedies, like what's going on? And she said "˜well you're not funny". I'm all "˜What?', she said well I asked you are you funny, and you said no and I said cause it's the funny answer!'
Blackwood: No see that's the first trick that you've learnt now, you gotta say that you're funny
Sarah: Yeah, but the funny answer is to say you're not, right? Like are you funny? No
Blackwood: Nahh, I am funny

(Cuts to a clip where the Buffybot says "˜ I don't think that's true' to Warren and Spike)

Blackwood: Before we go any further
Sarah: Yes, can we go to a commercial break or something?
Blackwood: We're going to a break rite now, its an infomercial on in a moment

Blackwood: Coming up in part two, Sarah and I get down with questions of comedy, coffins and coffee
 
Yeah I had the opportunity to view the video clip. It's one of the more natural ones you can find. She talks a little more freely than she might if she had to come to them.

Nice to see the transcript!
