(Adam's lair)

SPIKE: (happily) Now that was fun!

ADAM: You were successful?

SPIKE: ("no problem" scoff) Easier than I'd thought it'd be, too.

ADAM: You're sure?

SPIKE: (scoffs) Feel it in my bones. It's, uh . . called the Yoko Factor. Don't tell me you've never heard of the Beatles?

ADAM: I have. (stands) I like "Helter Skelter."

SPIKE: What a surprise. The point is, they were once a real powerful group. It's not a stretch to say they ruled the world. And when they broke up everyone blamed Yoko, but the fact is the group split itself apart, she just happened to be there. And you know how it is with kids. They go off to college, they grow apart. Way of the world.

ADAM: So you separated the Slayer from her friends. I'm pleased.

SPIKE: Well . . since we've got all our ducks in a row and not talking to each other . . guess it's time for the grand plan, huh? You know the one where I get the chipectomy. You got everything you need, right?

ADAM: No. There's one more thing.
