(a party)

BUFFY: Looks cool.

WILLOW: Uh-huh.

BUFFY: Look, we could go.

WILLOW: No-no, we're here for fun.

BUFFY: Oh, look. Some of the guys are here already.

WILLOW: I'm gonna grab a soda. I'll--I'll find you guys.

BUFFY: Ok.

(Willow playing secret agent gal walks over to wear Riley is standing. She leans against a pillar facing the opposite direction).

WILLOW: Ok, she's wearing the halter top with sensible shoes. That means mostly dancing, light contact, But don't push your luck. Heavy conversation's out of the question.

RILEY: So what do I do?

WILLOW: Ask her to dance.

RILEY: Right. Dance. Wait. No.

WILLOW: What's the matter?

RILEY: I can't dance.

WILLOW: Then talk. Keep eye contact. Funny is good, but don't be glib. And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel. A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. Have fun.
