(While Angel head's turned, Riley punches him in the face. Angel quickly hits him back.)

BUFFY: Okay, stop it!

(Buffy steps in between them and shoves them apart.)

BUFFY: Okay, that's enough! I see one more display of testosterone poisoning and I will personally put you both in the hospital! (challengingly) Anybody think I'm exaggerating?

ANGEL: He started--

BUFFY: (softly) Riley. (glances at his gun)

RILEY: I'm sorry. (he holsters it) Just wanted to know that you were safe.

BUFFY: (gently) I need to talk to Angel for a minute.

RILEY: (exasperated) What?

BUFFY: Riley, please.

RILEY: (quietly firm) I'm not leaving this room. (crosses his arms) I mean it.

(Riley continues to glare at Angel. Buffy looks over her shoulder and gives Angel a slight tilt of her head, then walks past Riley to the door. Angel stands up to follow her and doesn't even bother to hide the smirk on his face as he passes Riley. He closes the door and Riley is left alone.)

RILEY: Not moving a muscle.
