WILLOW: Thanks. So how are Mr. and Mrs. High-Strung?
DAWN: I'm betting they explode.
WILLOW: You know, when I was little, I used to spend hours imagining what my wedding to Xander would be like. And now I look at them... (shot of Anya and Xander at the bar) I just think... (mocking laugh) "Nee-hee-hee!"
DAWN: (giggles) You're awfully chipper tonight.
WILLOW: (smiling) Can't hide it.
DAWN: Hmm. Big wedding coming up ... lots of date possibilities ... you and Tara are speaking again. You wanna call her? Invite her over?
WILLOW: Oh, no. Too soon for so bold a maneuver. (smiles) But if I did call? She wouldn't hang up on me.

~~As You Were~~
