SCHOOL - HALLWAY - DAY

(Buffy talks to Oz and Willow as they move down the hall.)

Willow: Okay. You. Scott. School Kiss.

Buffy: Not a deal. We've kissed before.

Willow: But in the dark. Alone. A school kiss is a whole ‘nother deal. It's statement-y. It says - hey, peers - we're smooching!

Buffy: (anxious now) Do you think it was too much?

Oz: I thought it was right. It said "nice seeing you" - not - "take me now." Not that I have anything against a "take me know" kiss, mind you. But's not very school.

Willow: Totally. That kind of kiss in school is all about showing off. The "haves" rubbing it in the faces of the "have-nots."

(Now Willow stops at her locker. Oz lingers with her as Buffy, preoccupied, moves down the hall.)

Buffy: So I'm good. Yeah. I think...

(She leaves. Willow turns to Oz.)

Willow: I'm not sure I completely understand. What was the first kind of kiss?

Oz: Oh. That would be a "nice seeing you kiss."

Willow: And - how does that go?

(Oz smiles - getting it. He leans in, kisses her sweetly but quickly.)

Oz: Nice seeing you. Of course - it can be a fine line. The "nice to see you" kiss can easily morph into...

(Now he gives her a slightly longer, more intense kiss.)

Oz: Really nice seeing you. And if you aren't careful, that becomes...

(A pretty intense kiss which shows no sign of stopping. So intense, in face, that they don't notice TWO FRESHMEN BOYS who pass them and roll their eyes.)
