ANDREW: You sure you don't wanna stop and pick up some burgers or something, you know, road trip food?
SPIKE: It's not a road trip. It's a covert operation.
ANDREW: Right. Right. Gotcha. I—I bet even covert operatives eat curly fries. They're really good.
SPIKE: Not as good as those onion blossom things.
ANDREW: It's an onion and it's a flower.
SPIKE:The genius of it is, you soak it in ice water, then deep fry it, root-side up for five minutes.
ANDREW: Masterful.
SPIKE: Yeah. Tell anyone we had this conversation, I'll bite you.
