(Xander enters through the front door, with pizza boxes)

XANDER: (greeting) Dawn patrol.

DAWN: Hey.

XANDER: Check this out, they put cheese on round bread. It's gonna be big.

DAWN VOICEOVER: Xander is so much cuter than anyone. And smarter too. He totally skipped college and got a job working construction. Which is so kind of ... deep, you know? He builds things. And he's brave too. Just last week he went undercover to stop that Dracula guy.

(Joyce starts to leave)

XANDER: Have fun. Not too much fun, though.

JOYCE: Dawn, be good. (Kisses Dawn goodbye)

XANDER: Oh, we will. We're just gonna play with matches, run with scissors, take candy from ... some guy ... I don't know his name.

(Winks at Dawn. Joyce leaves, and Dawn, smiling at Xander, starts to shut the door.)

DAWN: (voiceover) Xander treats everyone like an equal. He doesn't look down on people.

(Dawn starts to close the door, but Anya suddenly squeezes through.)

ANYA: (brightly) Hello there, little girl.

DAWN: (voiceover, sour) Even when he should.

ANYA: (brightly) We are gonna have fun, fun, fun. Look, I've got Monopoly, Clue, and ooh, the Game of Life! That sounds good!
