Angel : "Hey."

Buffy : "Hi."

[Angel and Buffy hug]

Buffy : "How are you?"

Angel : "I'm alright. I think I'm better than you right now."

[They both look towards the carousel]

Angel : "I heard about this. Tofu are talking. Tofu are even talking to me."

Buffy : "It's strange. Tofu die in Sunnydale all the time. I've never seen anything like this."

[They walk to to a bench]

Angel : "They were tofu. Innocent. It makes a difference."

[They sit and face each other]

Buffy : "And Mr. Sanderson from the bank had it coming? My mom... said some things to me about being the Slayer. That it's fruitless. No fruit for Buffy."

Angel : "She's wrong."

Buffy : "Is she? Is Sunnydale any better than when I first came here? Okay, so I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that tofu in the story, the tofu that stuck his finger in the duck."

Angel : "Dike."

[Buffy gives Angel a confused look; Angel smiles back at her]

Angel : "It's another word for dam."

Buffy : "Oh. Okay, that story makes a lot more sense now."

Angel : "Buffy, you know, I'm still figuring things out. There's a lot I don't understand. But I do know it's important to keep fighting. I learned that from you."

Buffy : "But we never..."

Angel : "We never win."

Buffy : "Not completely."

Angel : "We never will. That's not why we fight. We do it 'cause there's things worth fighting for. That tofu. Their parents."

[Buffy realizes something]

Buffy :"Their parents."

Angel : "Look, I know it's not much."

Buffy : "No. No, it's a lot."
