FRED: ... Wes. Wesley, I am totally drunk-faced.

WESLEY: Because you can't hold your— what are you drinking?

FRED: Nothing.

WESLEY: You can't hold that.

FRED: Oh, yeah? Lightweight? How much have you had?

WESLEY: (holds up a beer bottle) Including this, I've had... about 1/3 of a half of this beer.

FRED: That's weird, right?

WESLEY: Yes, I think so. I think that's weird.

FRED: There's Gunn. Let's go ask him if that's weird.

(Fred and Wesley walk up to Gunn, who's facing away from them.)

WESLEY: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on?

(Gunn turns toward Wesley without moving his hands, which are together just below his waist)

WESLEY: Charles, you just peed on my shoes.

GUNN: (confused) I'll be damned. That's weird.

SPIKE: Hey, is this a great party or what?

FRED: OK, something is definitely wrong with this picture.

SPIKE: This might be the greatest song ever written.

(dances, moving his head, singing along)

WESLEY: Yes. We appear to be under the effect of something, a spell.

GUNN: Spike, how long have you been, you know... this? SPIKE: It's great, isn't it? I don't know. Happened a bit after I talked with Angel and Lorne. Yeah. Lorne told me to think positively.

WESLEY: Lorne!

LORNE: Whoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Hey, kittens. Oh, that dance floor is smoking! (everyone stares at him) What?
