DAWN: (re Spike's drink) Does it help?

SPIKE: Doesn't hurt. (re: Dawn's backpack) Not planning a camp out, are we?

DAWN: No. I'm sleeping over at Janice's. Figured Willow and Tara might want some time to ah...

SPIKE: So the birds are flying again, eh? (whispered) Ain't love grand.

DAWN: I wanted to stop by on my way and, you know...(a beat) everybody's pretty mad at you.

SPIKE: Yeah. Kinda picked up on that.

DAWN: You're not gonna be coming around anymore.... are you?

SPIKE: It's complicated, nibblet.

DAWN: Everybody's been saying that.

SPIKE: Must be true then.

DAWN: Was it worth it? What you did with Anya?

SPIKE: Buffy told you?

DAWN: Kinda caught the show. There was a camera somewhere in the magic box. Warren and Jonathan and that other guy have been watching Buffy.

SPIKE: Wankers!

DAWN: Do you love her?

SPIKE: Oh, no, no. It was just a... a...it was a bad day. For both of us. We just had a few drinks and things just --

DAWN: No, not Anya. Buffy. Do you really love her? (beat) How could you do that to her?

SPIKE: (bristling) Oh, right. Cuz Big Sis was treating me so well up until that point. Must still be a bit of the evil left in me after all.

DAWN: I don't know what happened between you two. But what you did last night... If you wanted to hurt Buffy -- congratulations. It worked.
