TITLE: New York City, 1977

SPIKE: Well, all right. Got the moves, don't you? I'm gonna ride you hard before I put you away, luv.

NIKKI: You sure about that? You actually look a little wet and limp to me. And I ain't your "luv."

SPIKE: (grinning) I spent a long time trying to track you down. Don't want the dance to end so soon, do you, Nikki? The music's just starting, isn't it? By the way...love the coat. (walks away)

YOUNG ROBIN: Mamma!

NIKKI: You did a good job, baby boy. You stayed down just like mamma told you.

YOUNG ROBIN: Can we go home now?

NIKKI: Uh-uh. It's not safe there anymore. How 'bout I leave you over at Crowley's house, and you can play with those spooky doodads that you like.

YOUNG ROBIN: No, I wanna stay with you.

NIKKI: Yeah, I know you do, baby. But remember, Robin, honey what we talked about. Always got to work the mission. Look at me. You know I love you, but I got a job to do. The mission is what matters...right? That's my boy. Come on. (they start to walk away, but first Robin runs back to pick up the stake Spike dropped) Robin?

(Cut to present day, mid battle, Buffy, Robin Wood & Spike vs random vamps)

BUFFY: Spike! (indicates he should help Wood; Spike stakes Wood's attacker)

SPIKE: Little tip, mate.Stake's your friend. Don't be afraid to use it. (starts to walk away, but notices Robin staring at him) What?

(Wood nods "nothing", Spike goes off, doesn't see blood dripping where Wood's clenching his stake)

PRINCIPAL WOOD:(under his breath) Just waiting for my moment.
