SPIKE: Hello, Buffy.

BUFFY: Hey.

SPIKE: It's a happy occasion. You meet my friend?

BUFFY: No. Not yet. But she seems like a very nice attempt at making me jealous.

SPIKE: Is it working?

BUFFY: A little. It doesn't change anything ... but if you're wildly curious, yeah, it hurts.

SPIKE: (softly) I'm sorry. (remembers himself) Or, Good! (Buffy smiles a little.)

SPIKE: You want us to go?

BUFFY: No. No, I ... you have every right to be here. I pretty much deserve-

SPIKE: That's not true, you... (sighs, looks at the ceiling) God, this is hard.

BUFFY: Yeah.

SPIKE: (sighs) I think we'll go.

BUFFY: Go where? To your place?

SPIKE: Yeah, I suppose. That was the idea.

BUFFY: Yeah.

SPIKE: (explanatory) Evil.

BUFFY: (politely agreeing) Of course.

SPIKE: But I won't. Or I... (frustrated) I'll just go. Give 'em my best or whatever. The happy couple.

BUFFY: I will.

SPIKE: (sincere) It's nice to watch you be happy. For them, even. I don't see it a lot. You, uh... you glow.

BUFFY: (smiles) That's because the dress is radioactive. (they laugh together) I should...

SPIKE: Yeah. (as Buffy starts to go, asks) But it hurts?

BUFFY: Yeah.

SPIKE: (sincere) Thanks. (walks off)

BUFFY: (to herself) You're welcome.
