• [first lines] 

  [It's a dark evening. Lamps dimly illuminate the graveyard as Buffy crouches, alert, surveying from atop a crypt. Sensing something, she stands, then leaps down from the crypt and runs, stopping over a fresh grave. Looking down, a pair of arms suddenly jut up from the grave. Not waiting, she stabs her stake through the earth, killing the vampire before it can finish rising from the ground. Nearby, another vampire rapidly escapes his grave. Buffy rushes over and commences battle, ducking its first swing and landing several blows with her fists and feet. Another kick sends the vampire reeling twenty yards away. It stands, but is grabbed and tossed aside by...] 

  Buffy Summers : Riley?

  Riley Finn : Buffy! What are you doin' here?

  Buffy Summers : [implying obviousness]  My job.

  Riley Finn : Well, I just thought you were in the North sector.

  Buffy Summers : Watch out!

  [the vampire lunges back at Riley. Riley ducks the blow, kicks the back of its knee, blocks its arm and twists it behind its back. He then hurls it surprisingly high at a nearby crypt, taking its top stonework in the gut before falling to the ground] 

  Buffy Summers : Nevermind.

  [still stunned, Riley punches it once more in the face before staking it in the heart. Another vamp rises. Buffy starts to leap into action when Spike suddenly tackles it] 

  Buffy Summers : Why do I even bother to show up?

  [Spike blocks several blows with martial-arts moves] 

  Buffy Summers : Spike, what are you doing here?

  Spike : Same reason as you and your Cub Scout here, I wager.

  [Spike lands four more blows on the latest vamp] 

  Spike : Wanted a spot of violence before bedtime.

  [Spike smiles at his quip, but it doesn't last long as the vamp takes advantage of his distraction, landing a major blow that sends him in a head-over-heels flip, earning Spike a bloody nose. Dazed, Buffy rushes in, pushes Spike aside, and stakes the vamp] 

  Spike : Phew.

  [Buffy turns and gives Spike an out-of-patience look. Spike wipes his nose and sucks the blood off his fingers] 

  Spike : What? I softened him up.

  Buffy Summers : Better keep out of my way, Spike. I'm not going to take this much longer.

  Spike : And I should do what with my spare time? Sit at home knitting... cunning sweater sets?

  Buffy Summers : Would it keep you out of my way?

  Riley Finn : She's right. You shouldn't be out here when she's patrolling.

  [Buffy gives Riley a look of "You're a fine one to talk."] 

  Spike : Oh! I saw that. Looks like neither boy is entirely welcome. You should take him home, Slayer. Make him stay there. I've got knitting needles he can borrow.

• Riley Finn : Hey, about before...

  Graham Miller : We're good. Apologise later, if you're not dead.
