Spike : Oh, it was just great, these guys came in the bank, and they had guns, and they
wanted all of our money, it was amazing.
Buffy : They robbed the bank, whats so amazing about that.
Spike : Oh, everything, I never thought that working in a bank could be so cool.
Buffy : You're a totall nutcase, you know that ? Now, where is Sarah ?

Spike : Because the bank got robbed, horrible, it was horrible.
Buffy : But you just said it was amazing.
Spike : Yes, to hide how a..afraid I was. Gotta go, bye.
"Spike storms out of the door."

"Driving in his car"
Spike (talking to himself) : I can't believe I forgot to pick up my daughter.
Her school is like an hour away.
"He picks up his phone and calls the school."
Spike : C'mon you idiots, pick up.
"The school cleaner picks up."
Cleaner : Hello.
Spike : Hi, my name is Spike Summers, is my daughter, Sarah Summers there ?
Cleaner : Oh, yeah, she's helping me clean till you get here.
Spike : Clean ? Who are you ?
Cleaner : I'm david, the school cleaner.
Spike : Uh, can I speak to my daughter please, uh, David ?
David : Sure, here sweetie, it's your daddy.
Sarah : Hi daddy.
Spike : Sarah, pumpkin, are you oké ?
Sarah : Yes, I know how to clean things now.
Spike : Oké, look i'm sorry I didn't pick you up, but, i'll be there in 10 minutes, oké ?
Sarah : oké, bye daddy.

Spike (talking to himself again.) : I'm never gonna be home on time, I'd better call Buffy.
Buffy : Hello, Buffy Anne Summers speaking here.
Spike : Honey, it's me.
Buffy : Oh, hi.
Spike : I'm calling to say we won't be home on time, I got a flat tire, and it took a while to fix it,
so I'm going to pick up Sarah now, bye.
"Spike hangs up."
Buffy : Bye... He hung up, that's strange. I hope he doesn't need counceling for what happend
in the bank.

"Spike finally arived at Sarah's school."
"He runs in to the school as quick as he can and he starts calling out for Sarah."
Spike : Sarah, daddy's here!
Sarah comes rushing in the arms of her father.
Sarah : I forgive you for forgetting me daddy.
Spike : I didn't forget you, I had a flat tire.
Sarah : I'm 9 years old, not stupid.
Spike : Your just like your mother.
Sarah : Oh, mummy called, she said to tell you that you have to cook tonight,
and that she went out.
Spike : What, did you tell her I forgott you ?
Sarah : No, she just figured out that I wasn't at my friends house like you said.
Spike : How did she know that ?
Sarah : She called all of my friends, and when I wasn't there, she called the school.
She's really mad at you.
Spike : Yeaj-h, i'm mad at me too, c'mon, lets go home.

The next morning :

Spike comes in to the bedroom with breakfast.
Spike : Here's your breakfast on bed honey.
Buffy : Thx, oh, I called your boss today, and he said it's oké if I do your shift for a while.
Spike : What ?! How did you do that ?
Buffy : Well, I said you were to traumatised to come in for a while.
Spike : Traumatised ?
Buffy : Because of the robbery, you did say it was horrible.
Spike : Yeah, but, no, that was just a...
Buffy : Lie ?
Spike : I'm soory, oké, honey, I just didn't want you to be mad at me, that's all.
Buffy : Oh, but i'm not mad, i'm really not.
Spike : No ?
Buffy : No, absolutly not mad, that's me.
Spike : Oh, thank god.
Buffy : Now, pissed of, that is totaly more me.
Spike : OMG
Buffy : Oh, god can't help you now, nobody can.
So, you're boss said I could take over for a month, and he also said I was smarter than you.
Spike : That's not true !
Buffy : No ? (Looks at him with a verry pissed of face.)
Spike : N...no, you're smarter than everyone.
Buffy : I have to get ready for work, go on, get out.
Spike : But... (Buffy looks at him) Oké.

"Buffy is dressed and comes out of the rome, she walks to the door, and before she opens the door
she turns around and looks at Spike."
Buffy : Spike... honey...
Spike : Yes ?
Buffy : David is expecting you to come help tonight.
Spike : David ?
Buffy : The cleaner, who looked after our daughter for 2 hours, I told him that you would help
him clean the school, every night, for a month long, starting today.
Spike : But....but...
Buffy : Have a happy day, oh, and don't forget to drive Sarah to school.
Bye.

"Buffy walks out the door and Spike is miserable."
"And you know what they say : 'What comes around goes around.'
