XANDER: Okay, how's about a movie? They're showing them in theaters now. I hear it's like watching a video with a bunch of strangers and a sticky floor.

DAWN: (points to newspaper) That one looks sad.

XANDER: The chimp playing hockey? Is that based on the Chekhov?

ANYA: (eagerly) There's a chimp playing hockey?

DAWN: Um, no, the other one. I don't wanna see a sad movie.

ANYA: We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this.

XANDER: You pick, Dawn. This is your night. We are celebrating your mom's good news.

(Anya looks chastised.)

ANYA: (softly) Go monkey. Choose monkey.

DAWN: It's okay. You guys don't have to make a big deal for me. I'm only sleeping over here so Buffy and Riley can boink.

(Xander looks embarrassed. )

XANDER: No, that's not, that's not it at all, they just need time to, uh... (clears throat) be tender. Relax.

(Anya smiles and rubs Xander's chest.)

ANYA: (to Dawn) He's not very convincing, is he?

(Dawn shakes her head in agreement. )

DAWN: 'Alone time' always translates into 'get Dawn out of the house so we can have loud obnoxious sex.'

(Xander looks like he wants to object, but doesn't. Anya smiles, then suddenly realizes something.)

ANYA: (softly to Xander) Oh, does that mean we can't?
