BUFFY: Spike?

SPIKE: Yeah. Listen, uh, did you hear a noise?

BUFFY: What the hell are you doing in my house?

SPIKE: Right then, caught me.

(he takes a deep, confessional breath)

SPIKE: Your basement's full of junk. And me being in need of, uh, junk...

BUFFY: (incredulous) You were stealing?

SPIKE: Well, yeah. Can't exactly work the counter at Burger Barn, can I?

(He has something in his hand. He tries to slip it into his pocket without being noticed, but Buffy spots it. )

BUFFY: Wait, are those pictures of me?

(Just then, the Queller jumps on Spike)
