DAWN: Here. Open mine.

(Gives gift to Buffy)

BUFFY: It's not gonna explode, is it?

(She opens it and removes a photo of herself and Dawn, in a frame covered with seashells. )

DAWN: It's when we visited Dad that summer in San Diego. Um, I put the shells on it myself. We picked them off the beach.

BUFFY: (softly) I remember.

(Joyce smiles. Everyone else looks thoughtful. Dawn looks uncomfortable.)

DAWN: Well, geez, don't get all movie-of-the-week. I was just too cheap to buy a real present.

BUFFY: Thank you.
