TEXT: Act I Fade in on a beach, daytime. Buffy runs into the camera's view and catches a football. BUFFY: Ha! Touchdown! Oh yeah. Go team me. (She does a victory dance) Shot of Riley grinning. Buffy throws him the ball; he catches it with a frown. RILEY: Anybody ever tell team you the quarterback throws like a girl? (Throws the ball back) BUFFY: (catches the ball, frowning) I do? Riley gives a "well, yeah" shrug. Buffy frowns, takes a grip on the ball and throws it. It hits Riley in the face and he falls down. BUFFY: (concerned) Ooh, sorry! Switch to long view. In the foreground we see Willow, Tara, and Anya lounging on beach blankets while Xander is sitting by a fire pit, trying to light it. In the background we can see Buffy and Riley and, beyond them, the ocean. Riley is getting up and running at Buffy. BUFFY: No, don't, no - (shrieks as Riley tackles her) XANDER: I'm exhausted just looking at those two. All the splashing and jumping and running... Shouldn't relaxing involve less exertion? ANYA: Absolutely. Exertion can lead to sweatiness. TARA: Which can cause the pain and heartbreak of stinkiness. Better to just stay put. WILLOW: I think we've just put our finger on why we're the sidekicks. Buffy and Riley approach. WILLOW: Game over? RILEY: Uh, Buffy slayed the football. (Holds up the deflated ball, then tosses it aside) BUFFY: Where's my burger? (Xander is still trying to light the fire) RILEY: Yeah, man, I'm starving. Cow me. (He and Buffy sit) XANDER: The, uh, fire's not cooperating. It's comforting to know that I lack the culinary finesse of a caveman
