Harmony: Get out.
Spike: But, baby, this is where I belong.
Harmony: Out. I mean it. I've been doing a lot of reading, and I'm in control of my own power now, so we're through.
Spike: You don't mean that.
Harmony: Yes, I do. I... I do. (Spike picks her up and carries her over to the bed.) I mean it a lot.
Spike: See? I knew you'd end up welcoming me back (He begins to stroke her legs) with open... Arms. (He leans into kiss her.)
Harmony : No. (She pushes him away.) I'm powerful, and I'm beautiful, and I don't need you to complete me. (She goes around the bed and lifts the mattress revealing a stake which she grabs.) And you're mean. (She stands up holding the stake up.)
