(Training area at magic box. Buffy is taking out her feelings on a punching bag. Out on the main floor, Xander and Anya putter)

XANDER: How long has she been in there?

ANYA: A while now. Seems pretty gung-ho about it too. Didn't even stop to say hello.

XANDER: Yeah, when we went to deal with that vampire nest, she got all Rambo and torched the place. Something seriously bad is going on with her.

ANYA: Oh, I don't know, maybe you're overreacting. I mean, who hasn't done stuff like that from time to time? I mean, I made this one guy spontaneously combust, and he set his whole village on fire.

XANDER: Can you stop being scary for a minute and listen to what I'm trying to tell you?

(Riley enters)

RILEY: She in there?

XANDER: She's training.

RILEY: (nods) Would you guys mind clearing out? I need a minute alone with her.

(Xander nods, goes to get his jacket.)

XANDER: Not now. Let's go, Anya.

ANYA: (calling over her shoulder) There's a funny thing with the vaulting horse that you can tr...

XANDER: Anya!

ANYA: What? He started it.

XANDER: In your world, maybe, but where the people are, this isn't the time for "Tales of Anya and Xander's Sexcapades."

ANYA: Oh. Uh, well, maybe we can go home and, you know, have 'em.

XANDER: Actually, I've got some stuff to take care of.
