HARMONY: Mort, just give us ... a couple minutes, 'kay? (Turns back to Spike) He's really testy. Some of us were thinking of voting him out of the gang. (She and Spike step aside where the minions can't overhear.)

SPIKE: Gang?

HARMONY: Oh, yeah. I've got my own gang now.

SPIKE: (checking out the minions) Is that what those circus freaks are?

HARMONY: Uh huh. I mean ... shut up! (Spike grins) We're gonna kill the slayer.

SPIKE: Singing my song now, are you? You should pay me royalties for that one, or at least get your own tune.

HARMONY: I'm not gonna make the same mistakes you did. I've been doing my homework, reading books and stuff.

SPIKE: What, Evil for Dummies ? Look at you, all puffed up and mighty, thinking you're the new Big Bad. It's, uh ... well, let's face it, it's adorable.

HARMONY: You just can't stand the fact that I'm my own person now. There comes a time in every woman's life when she realizes she needs to take the next step. I've taken it. I've found the real me... and I like her.

SPIKE: Hope you'll be very happy together. In the meantime, save slayer slaying for the professionals.

HARMONY: (sighs) You'll see. Buffy'll be dead by sunrise. I've got a plan.

SPIKE: (chuckling) Lemme guess. Snatch one of her friends, use 'em as bait, lead her into a trap. That sort of thing?

HARMONY: (bluffing) No! Much, much better one. (Spike looks skeptical.) I'm not gonna tell you!

SPIKE: Thought as much. Best of luck. Let me know how this arch-villain thing works out for you. (Backs away and walks off)

HARMONY: I'll do that. (shouting after him) And after Buffy is gone? I'm gonna kill everybody in this town that was ever mean to me ... Spike!

(Spike waves a hand over his shoulder as he walks off. Harmony sighs, then turns back to the minions.)

HARMONY: (smiling) Guys! New plan.
