BUFFY: Welcome to the Double Meat Palace, how may I help... (realizes it's Riley) You.

RILEY: Hey.

BUFFY: Huh?

(commercial)

BUFFY: Riley.

RILEY: Sorry to just drop in on you like this, Buffy.

BUFFY: It's you.

RILEY: It's me.

BUFFY: You're here.

RILEY: I know.

BUFFY: And ... were you always this tall?

RILEY: Look, this isn't the way I wanted it. But something's come up, something big. We don't have much time. You understand?

BUFFY: (nodding) Not a word you've said so far.

RILEY: Right. I should have known, anticipated. You're working.

BUFFY: Well, just counter, not grill any more.

RILEY: I want to explain, I just don't have time. I've been up for 48 hours straight tracking something bad, and now it's come to Sunnydale.

BUFFY: My hat has a cow.

RILEY: (sighs) I know that I'm putting you on the spot, showing up like this, but ... but you know, here we are. I need the best. I need you, Buffy. Can you help me?

TODD: Hellooo, Buffy? People are waiting. (Buffy takes off) Buffy, uh ... Buffy! Wait! Buffy!
