ANGEL: Let me give you a hand.

Angel takes the file box. Cut to outside as they leave the building. BUFFY: You know what? Thank you, but I can take it from here.

ANGEL: It's alright. I'll walk you there.

BUFFY: Look, I don't need an escort. I'm a big girl. Superpowers, remember? I don't need you crowding me.

ANGEL: I didn't think I was.

BUFFY: No, of course you don't. You just show up at the prom and then you disappear into the ozone. For all I know, you left town.

ANGEL: Are you mad at me for being around too much or for not being around enough?

BUFFY: Duh. Yes.

ANGEL: Which?

BUFFY: What?

ANGEL: I don't get you.

BUFFY: No, you don't, not anymore.

ANGEL: Are you just making this harder to make this easier on yourself?

BUFFY: Could we stop with the brain-teasers? I just wish it was over, done.

ANGEL: It's not that simple. I mean, once the Mayor ...

BUFFY: I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

ANGEL: I'll get out of your face.

He drops the box at her feet and turns away.

BUFFY: Isn't it even a little hard for you?

ANGEL: How can you ask me that? Just because I'm not acting like a brat doesn't mean I don't feel...

BUFFY: It's nice to know what you thing of me!

ANGEL: What do you expect me to say when you just attack?

BUFFY: I just can't do this anymore. I can't have you in my life when I'm trying to move on.
