SPIKE: Feel like a bit of the rough and tumble?
BUFFY: (shocked) What?
SPIKE: Me ... you...
She stares at him, still shocked.
SPIKE: Patrolling? Hello?
BUFFY: Oh. Uh ... I ... should stay. Maybe tomorrow.
It's a little awkward. They both turn away, Buffy toward the stairs and Spike toward the direction he came from.
SPIKE: It's not like I don't already have plans. Great Pumpkin's on in twenty.
He turns and leaves. Buffy shakes her head.
BUFFY: (to herself) So much easier to talk to when he wanted to kill me.

~~All the Way~~
