OZ: Willow? I got videos.

(Willows' got Barry White playing, dim lights, the works)

WILLOW: Hi. Why don't you come s-sit down?

OZ: You ever have that dream where you're in a play, and it's the middle of the play and you really don't know your lines, and you kinda don't know the plot?

WILLOW: Well, we're alone, and we're together. I-I just wanted it to be special.

OZ: How special are we talking?

WILLOW: Well, you know, we're alone, and we're both mature younger people, and, and so... w-we could... I-I'm ready to... w- with you. (whispers) We could do that thing. (Oz stands) Where are you going?

OZ: No, I'm not going. Just a dramatic gesture. That's, that's pretty special.

WILLOW: (stands also) Oz, I-I wanna be with you. First.

OZ: I think we should sit down again.

WILLOW: Oz?

WILLOW: I-I'm ready.

OZ: Okay. Well, don't take this the wrong way... but I'm not.

WILLOW: (confused) Are you scared? 'Cause I thought you had...

OZ: (shyly) No, I have, but this is different. I mean, you look great. You know, and, and you got the Barry working for you, and, and it's all... good. But when it happens... I want it to be because we both need it to for the same reason. You don't have to prove anything to me.

WILLOW: I just wanted you to know.

OZ: I know. (smiles) I get the message.
