(icecream truck)

ANYA: Do you know where you're going? I've been thinking about getting back into vengeance.

XANDER: Is that right?

ANYA: Well, you know how I miss it. I'm so at loose ends since I quit. I think this is going to be a very big year for vengeance.

XANDER: But ... isn't vengeance kind of ... vengeful?

ANYA: (petulant) You don't want me to have a hobby.

XANDER: Not a vengeance hobby, no! It's dangerous. People can't do anything they want. Society has rules, and borders, and an end zone. (hears giggling, turns) Do you mind? I'm talking to my demon.

(Shot of Willow in a very short black bustier, Tara in a short black skirt and very revealing white blouse. Tara has one leg bent and Willow's hand is on her thigh. Both have heavy black eye makeup and thick red lipstick.)

WILLOW: Sorry.

TARA: We just think you're really interesting.

XANDER: Oh, I-I'm going places.

WILLOW: I'm way ahead of you.

XANDER: (riveted) Is that right?

WILLOW: Watch this.

(Willow puts her hand on Tara's waist. Tara puts her hand on Willow's shoulder. They lean toward each other. Extended shot of Xander watching with great interest)

TARA: Do you wanna come in the back with us?

ANYA: Oh, go on.

XANDER: I don't have to.

ANYA: I'll be fine. I think I've figured out how to steer by gesturing emphatically.
