Buffy: Riley just walked in.
Willow looks over her shoulder and we see Riley at the lunch counter perusing the fruit bowl.
Willow: Do ya want to let him know you're here?
Buffy: No. Just enjoying a good stare. Tell me about your night.
Willow: Well, spent most of it at Xander's teaching Anya to play poker.
Buffy: That sounds like fun.
Willow: Yeah. Except the Anya part and the poker part.
Buffy: Will, I think you better get used to-- a Twinkie!? That's his lunch? Oh, he is *so* gonna be punished.
Willow: Everyone's getting spanked but me.

~~Buffy Episode #69: "The I In Team"~~
