Always ask the most ridiculous questions.

You know what they say. There are no stupid questions...

Only stupid people?

Exactly!

So, if the statement is true, it's not the question that's ridiculous, it's the person asking it.

Which would in turn make the question like the person.

Always have to be right, don't you?

I wouldn't say always Dawn, but I do have rather a lot more experience at it.

Yeah yeah yeah. Just because you're older. I'll catch up.

And my the time you've caught up Dawn, I will be rotting in some grave.

Always so optimistic.

*watching him curiously*

Do the answers help?

Not always. No.

Then your purpose in asking would be ...?

For asking what?

The most ridiculous questions.

You are mistaken, I am not the one who is asking them.

Ah-ha. Company you keep, then?

Yes. It does tend to happen when you're spending time with younger people.

I think the British version of "ridiculous" is slightly different from... well, our Earth language.

And exactly when did England stop being part of Earth?

... when you started using your fancy Watcher-talk?

Look, it's surrounded by water. That alone is pretty shifty.

And so are all other countries. Even America is surrounded by water.

Not completely.

Okay, I give up. Who's being ridiculous?

Do I honestly need to answer that question?

It's always helpful.

Buffy, who is it that usually asks those kinds of questions?

... ridiculous people! What do I win?

If those people go by the name of Xander. Yes.

He means well, Giles. Even though he has a permanent case of foot-in-mouth disease.

When his mouth isn't filled with food, of course.

Now I've got a mental image of him eating foot-shaped foods and just... ew.

We have an ice cream in England that is shaped like a foot. It's rather tasty actually.

Another reason why you Brits are just weird.

Do you?

Of course I don't.

Never?

Maybe in my youth.

What if the answers are equally as ridiculous?

Someone specific in mind?
