Transcript

00:00 I didn't actually go to my high school prom because it was the same night as the Emmys.

00:03 So I went to the Emmys and then I went to the after party.

00:07 But I've been to about five proms.

00:09 I think I went to a lot of proms just because I was the girl with the dresses.

00:11 Because I was on the soap at the time, I always had dresses.

00:13 So, "Ah, call Sarah, she'll go."

00:14 She probably has something in her closet.

00:16 We deserve a little prommy fun.

00:18 One night of glory, not too much to ask.

00:20 It's sort of a common thread for Buffy.

00:21 She is desperate to go to the prom and have her one normal high school experience.

00:27 I can't believe you're breaking up with me.

00:30 It doesn't mean that I don't.

00:32 Angel breaks up with Buffy before the prom.

00:35 And she's heartbroken.

00:36 And it's a whole dilemma, as happens to a lot of people, is do I go to the prom by myself and enjoy it?

00:41 Or why can't I have that one normal high school moment?

00:44 It's a big time for her.

00:46 It's right before graduation.

00:47 Maybe we should dance before we get besieged, bedeviled or beheaded or something.

00:55 It's not going to happen.

00:56 You're not even a little nervous?

00:59 You think Buffy's going to let us down?

01:01 Want to enjoy some punch?

01:02 I was actually part of the huge hazing ritual where they invited me to the prom and stripped me

01:07 and then sent me out into the street crying, covered in, like, punch and cheese dip.

01:11 So this is kind of a shattering experience.

01:13 Well, didn't you wear a dress to your prom?

01:15 I did, I did.

01:16 It was actually a point of high controversy.

01:17 And I just thought, you know, it was modern.

01:19 But the kids were a little close-minded, though.

01:24 [clap]

01:25 Background!

01:27 Action.

01:28 Buffy, you look awesome.

01:30 So do you.

01:31 Everything cool?

01:32 Coolest.

01:33 Devil Dogs are history.

01:34 How's the prom?

01:35 Strangely affecting.

01:36 I got all teared up when they played We Are Family.

01:39 Everything's perfect.

01:40 A lot of dancing, huh?

01:43 A lot of stepping on my train.

01:45 Right?

01:46 He does that constantly.

01:47 Yeah.

01:48 But I love it.

01:49 A huge beat.

01:50 He's got a long train.

01:51 Accident waiting to happen.

01:53 He's a dog, you know.

01:55 No, he's good.

01:56 He's very good.

01:57 But he is literally a dog on the show.

01:59 It was stunning when we decided to do the prom.

02:06 I just got on my hands and knees.

02:07 I was like, I want to wear Pamela Dennis.

02:09 I want to wear Pamela Dennis.

02:10 And she was lovely enough to send the dress.

02:13 I never thought you'd come.

02:16 It's a big night.

02:18 I didn't want to miss it.

02:21 It's just tonight.

02:22 It doesn't mean that I--

02:23 I know.

02:24 Can you still fight in this thing?

02:26 I mean, or is this kind of--

02:28 I'm hoping that I'm just going to have a fun prom time.

02:30 Yeah.

02:31 If I have to, I'll find a way.

02:32 The shoes may make it a tad difficult.

02:34 But I also wear a Vera Wang wedding dress in this episode.

02:37 Angel?

02:39 What do you like better?

02:46 Do you have a choice or will you go with the dress?

02:48 Well, you can't compare a wedding dress to a prom dress.

02:50 They're two totally different, you know, events.

02:52 They're two totally different, you know, events.
