Owen: Hi.

BUFFY: Hi. (long awkward pause) This is going well.

Owen: I don't really know how to say this, but... about last night...

BUFFY: You don't even have to. I'm sure you were pretty freaked out.

Owen: Totally. And... I was wondering when I could see you again.

BUFFY: Um, that was my hopeful ear. Could you repeat that?

Owen: I think you're the coolest!

BUFFY: Really?

Owen: I mean, last night was incredible! I never thought nearly getting killed would make me feel so... alive!

BUFFY: So that's why you wanna be with me.

Owen: Oh, absolutely! When can we do something like that again?

BUFFY: Something like...

Owen: Like, walk downtown at three in the morning, a-and pick a fight in a bar. How about tonight?

BUFFY: Tonight would... be... not a workable thing. Did I just say that?

Owen: Tomorrow, then. I-I'm free any night this week.

BUFFY: I'm not. Please don't take this personally. It's not you, it's me.

Owen: Right. It's you.

BUFFY: And I was kinda hoping that... maybe you and I could still be...

Owen: (very disappointed) I, I get it. You just wanna be friends.

BUFFY: That'd be nice.

Owen: Friends. Yeah. Great. (leaves)

BUFFY: Yeah. Great.
