HARMONY: Hi baby!
SPIKE: (bored) Hello, sweetbreads. Have fun?
HARMONY: Uhh, it was so exciting. You wouldn't believe it. I went to April Fool's, and absolutely everything was on sale.
SPIKE: You *paid* for it?
HARMONY: (unpacking bags) Oh, no. I just killed the clerk. Still, a bargain's a bargain.
