Apocryphal Crossover II
Masquerade - November 18 2002

EXT. STREET SHOT, SUNNYDALE - EVENING

CONNOR and DAWN walk along Sunnydale's less populated streets. DAWN is wearing a pink sweater-coat with fluffy boa trim. Price tag may still be visible in some shots.

DAWN:
So hey, we got a big scary evil coming to town.

CONNOR:
Yeah? So do we. Does yours have horns?

DAWN:
I'm not sure yet. It just popped up all scary
on the couch where my mother died.

CONNOR:
Really? Ours popped up all scary on the
ground where my mother died, too.

DAWN:
Did you fight it? I screamed at it a lot.
It was part of a spell.

CONNOR:
Of course I fought it! Only, I used my bad
temper and my vampire-like strength.

DAWN:
You should have seen me. I told it 'That's
right! Die, you bastard!' Cussing and everything!

CONNOR:
I shouted, too. Except I said, 'Stay away
from her!' -- her being Cordelia? You know Cordelia? --
anyway, the thing backed off and just shot
up into the sky! Of course, it broke a couple of my
ribs and I had blood in my mouth.

DAWN:
I had blood in my mouth, too!
Isn't that the grossest thing?

CONNOR:
Yeah.... Say, do you get along with your dad?

DAWN:
Not really. Mine never speaks to me.
Well, hardly ever.

CONNOR:
Mmm. Me? I never speak to him.
Well, hardly ever.

DAWN:
Fathers suck.

CONNOR:
Well, mine sure does.
