(Groo stands guard at the rift. Cordy sits nearby, bored)

CORDELIA: Isn't your neck stiff? You've been standing exactly like that all day.

GROO: Pylean warriors are trained for such endurance. I once happened upon a herd of Bur-beasts and as you know, engorged Bur-beasts will couple with anything that moves. I was forced to stand perfectly still for eleven days and nights.

CORDELIA: So, you were never...

(Groo smiles, still not taking his eyes off the rift)

GROO: No. That honor was yours, princess.

CORDELIA: I don't know. Angel does all that 'ninja statue, don't move a muscle or you're dead' stuff, too. Me, I wouldn't last ten minutes. Of course, heels? Not helping.

GROO: (testy) Yes. I'm sure Angel has regaled you with his many exploits.

CORDELIA: Oh, he's tried alright. But I get so bored with all that 'days of yore' crap. Ah - I mean - they're nothing like your thrilling tales of adventure! Not that you need adventurous tales to impress me. I'm impressed by you just being you.

GROO: (tense) But the way you constantly speak of Angel.

CORDELIA: Is because these last weeks have been so hard for him.

(she comes to stand facing him, very close)

CORDELIA: He needs me. And you do, too.

(Cordy pushes Groo's sword hand down and leans in to kiss him, but after only a moment Groo pulls back.)

GROO: Princess, I should be watching for creatures from the other dimension.

CORDELIA: You're the only creature from another dimension I'm interested in.

GROO: I was worried that your affection for the Groosalug had waned.

(They kiss again - only to be knocked apart to land flat on their backs as thunder and lighting cracks from the rift above them.)
