ANDREW: I bet even covert operatives eat curly fries. They're really good.
SPIKE: Not as good as those onion blossom things.
ANDREW: Ooh, I love those.
SPIKE: Yeah, me, too.
ANDREW: It's an onion... and it's a flower. I don't understand how such a thing is possible.

ANDREW: Masterful.
SPIKE: Yeah. Tell anyone we had this conversation, I'll bite you.
