JONATHAN: Your hands feel kinda... rough. Aren't you with Xander?

Ampata: Does it look like I'm with Xander? (moves in to kiss)

XANDER: Ampata!

JONATHAN: That's my cue to leave. (runs off)

XANDER: There you are. Why'd you run away?

Ampata: Because... I do not deserve you.

XANDER: What, you think that you don't deserve me? (laughs) Man, I love you! Are those tears of joy? Pain? Revulsion?

Ampata: (crying) I am very happy. And very sad.

XANDER: Then talk to me. Let me know what's wrong.

Ampata: I can't!

XANDER: Hey, I know why you can't tell me. It's a secret, right? (she nods) And if you told me, you'd have to kill me. (smiles) Oh! That was a bad joke. And the delivery was off, too. I'm sorry. I, uh...I'm sorry.

(they kiss, she starts to drain him)

Ampata: No! I can't. Xander, I'm so sorry.
