Dead Man's Party:
Joyce: You know what, that's it, you and I are going to have a talk. You know what? I don't care. I don't care what your friends think of me or you for that matter because you put me through the wringer Buffy, I mean it. And I've had enough. Do you have any idea what it's been like? You can't imagine, months of not knowing whether you're lying in a ditch somewhere or, I don't know, living it up?
Buffy: But you told me. You're the one who said I should go. You said if I leave this house you don't come back. You found out who I was and you couldn't deal, don't you remember?
Joyce: Buffy, you didn't give me time. You just dumped this thing on me and you expected me to get it. Well guess what, Mom's not perfect, okay? I handled it badly, but that doesn't give you the right to punish me by running away.
Buffy: Punish you? I didn't do this to punish you.
Xander: Well you did. You should've seen what you put her through.
Buffy: Great, thanks. Anybody else want to weigh in here? How about you by the dip?
Jonathan: I'm good.
Xander: Maybe you don't want to hear it Buffy, but taking off like you did was incredibly selfish and stupid.
Buffy: Okay, okay I screwed up, I know this. But you have no idea. You have no idea what happened to me, or what I was feeling.
Xander: Did you even try talking to anybody?
Buffy: There was nothing that anybody could do. I just had to deal with this on my own.
Xander: Yeah and you see how that one worked out. You can't just bury stuff Buffy. It'll come right back up to get you.
Buffy: As if I could've even gone to you Xander. You made your feelings about Angel and I perfectly clear.
Xander: Look, I'm sorry that your honey was a demon, but most girls don't hop a greyhound over boy troubles.
Cordelia: Time out Xander, put yourself in Buffy's shoes for just a minute, okay. I'm Buffy, freak of nature. So naturally I have a freak of nature boyfriend. And then he turns into Mr. Killing Spree, which is pretty much my fault-
Buffy: Cordy, get out of my shoes!
Cordelia: I'm just trying to help, Buffy.
Willow: Buffy, you never-
Buffy: Willow, please. I can't take this from you too.
Xander: Let her finish! You at least owe her that.
Buffy: God, Xander! Could you at least stick to annoying me on your own behalf?
Xander: Fine! You stop acting like an idiot, I'll stop annoying you.
Buffy: Oh, you wanna talk acting like an idiot, Nighthawk?
Oz: Okay, gonna step in now and referee guy.
Willow: No, let them go, Oz. Talking about it isn't helping, we might as well try some violence.
*ZOMBIE CRASH*
I feel like I'm not the only one who both felt incredibly sorry for Buffy in this scene and also wanted the scene to continue so we could see Buffy run Xander's face into the pavement.
