Original version (source)

At Buffy's party:

RILEY
So, you're retired?

GILES
Sorry?

RILEY
(mistake...)
Or, you're working somewhere
else now?

GILES
Well, not... between projects just
now, personal...



Riley tries to help.



RILEY
Oh, I know how that is. My dad
was out of work a while back. He
sells farm equipment. It was rough.

GILES
I see.

RILEY
He was great about it though --
didn't want to, you know, lie
around the house, watching TV--

BUFFY
Riley! Look at this. Giles
doesn't have any cake!

RILEY
Oh, hey. I'll get you a piece.
