(Oz and Willow sitting in Oz's van.)

WILLOW: This thing looks pretty good, considering you drove it overseas.

OZ: Well, it broke down outside of Mexico, and I traded my bass to have it fixed and garaged.

(Pause.)

OZ: I shouldn't have come back now.... I just thought I'd changed.

WILLOW: You have changed. (Smiles) You stopped the wolf from coming out. I saw it.

OZ: But I couldn't look at you. I mean, it turns out... the one thing that brings it out in me is you... which falls under the heading of ironic in my book.

WILLOW: It was my fault. I upset you.

OZ: Well, so we're safe then, (sarcastic) cause you'll never do that again. But... you're happy?

WILLOW: (smiles) I am. I can't explain it-

OZ: It may be safer for both os us if you don't.

WILLOW: I missed you, Oz. I wrote you so many letters... but I didn't have any place to send them, you know? I couldn't live like that.

OZ: It was stupid to think that you'd just be... waiting.

WILLOW: I was waiting. I feel like some part of me will always be waiting for you. Like if I'm old and blue-haired, and I turn the corner in Istanbul and there you are, I won't be surprised. Because... you're with me, you know?

OZ: I know. (Pause) But now is not that time, I guess.

WILLOW: No. (pause) What are you gonna do?

OZ: I think I better take off.

WILLOW: When?

OZ: Pretty much now.
