(Xander's basement. Willow enters)

XANDER: Hey, Will. Mom let you in?

WILLOW: She seemed cranky.

XANDER: Yeah. We're having a little landlord-tenant dispute, So I'm withholding rent. An effective, and might I add, thrifty tactic.

WILLOW: How come?

XANDER: She won't let me put a lock on my door. I suspect she's afraid I'll start having the sex.

WILLOW: Yeah. Parents usually wait till you're out of the house. Or under it.

XANDER: Or under it...

WILLOW: To start worrying about stuff like that.

XANDER: It's mostly too late. So, I know why I'm sitting in a dank, sunless little room. But why are you?

WILLOW: Well, things with Oz are weird. And I talked to Buffy about it, but I think we're in guyville here. I need a translator from the "y" side of things.

XANDER: Well, last time I checked, I had the creds. Hit me.

WILLOW: What does it mean when a girl wants to... You know.

XANDER: If you're doin' it, I think you should be able to say it.

WILLOW: Make love.

XANDER: Wild monkey love or tender Sarah Mclachlan love?

WILLOW: Any kind. But what if the girl wants to and the guy doesn't? That's a bad sign, right?

XANDER: Could be. Or the girl caught the guy in one of the 7 annual minutes he's legitimately too preoccupied to do it.

WILLOW: Well, say the girl's been noticing--

XANDER: Will, I've deciphered your ingenious code.

WILLOW: Ok. Say I've been noticing Oz notice someone else. A woman.

XANDER: And is this chick noticing back?

WILLOW: Most definitely.

XANDER: Well... Have you asked Oz about it?

WILLOW: Well, I thought about it, but then he'll think I'm all jealous and worry.

XANDER: But you are. And odds are, he feels it. I'll bet that's all there is to the weird you're feeling. You guys should talk things out, Wll. You'll both feel better.
