(Buffy walks down the hallway alone, past the guy standing guard outside the brig. As she passes him, she drops something.)

GUARD: Hey, you dropped-

(As he bends to pick it up, Buffy knees him in the face. He falls back. Buffy bends over him, takes his key-card, and uses it to open the door. She enters the brig where Riley is sitting on his bed. He gets up.)

RILEY: How'd you get in?

BUFFY: Talk later. Stealthy escape now.

RILEY: Buffy... (She turns back to him) I leave now, I can't ever come back.

(Buffy just looks at him.)

RILEY: I just wanted to hear that out loud.

(They leave.)
