(Sunnydale street, night)

PARKER: Uh, hobbies. Interests. I feel like there's so much I don't know about you. What do you like to do?

BUFFY: Mostly I hang out. And do ... stuff.

PARKER: Yeah, I was into that for a while. Hey, what's that.

BUFFY: What's what?

(Parker pushes aside the collar of her jacket to reveal the scar from when Angel fed on her. )

PARKER: You have a scar.

BUFFY: Yeah ... right ... angry puppy. So, I get to see any of your scars?

PARKER: Oh, mine are all psychological.

BUFFY: Please, those are the best kind.

PARKER: Well my father died last year.

BUFFY: Oh, God. Parker, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring it up, that stuff. Oh, bad, bad Buffy.

PARKER: No, I'm okay to talk about it now. And I'm not doing to deep, get sympathy routine. I mean don't you just hate guys that are all 'I'm dark and brooding so give me love?'

BUFFY: I don't think I've ever met that type.

(They sit on a bench.)

PARKER: I just wanted to say that it was so sad cause there was well, a lot of stuff that he didn't finish. It make me think about, you know, living for now.

BUFFY: I think about that sometimes. I sort of drowned a couple years ago. But I came back. Obviously. But I don't, I don't put stuff off anymore. Like you were saying.

PARKER: That's great. I mean, everybody says they get it. 'Oh, man. Me too. Live for today.' But what they really what is a reason to goof off. Not study for finals.

BUFFY: Also a valid life choice.

PARKER: It's cool to find someone else who understands.

BUFFY: So Parker Abrams. When you go to sleep tonight, what are you going to regret not doing today?

PARKER: I'm going to regret ... being too nervous to ask you to go to the party at Wolfhouse tomorrow night. Do you want to go to the party -

BUFFY: Yes.
