JONES
Well, a touch of class never hurt anyone
FAITH
You think I have no class
JONES
You have plenty of class you just, keep it subtle
FAITH
That was also subtle
The two of them enter the restaurant and immediately spot Willow and Tara who are still talking to the others
JONES
Jones, table for…uh, four
HARMONY
Oh, it’s you, there was a little problem with that you see because we still had two seats left we kinda had to give them away…you’re sharing with Anya and Xander.

Oh…
HARMONY
So are you going to share the table or what?
JONES
It’s up to them
HARMONY
(rolls eyes)
Xander, these guys are sharing your table, like it or leave a good tip
Jones gives Faith a questioning look in reference to Harmony, she takes his arm and shakes her head
FAITH
We have to sit here?
ANYA
Why?
FAITH
This may come with heart attack potential but Harmony screwed up
WILLOW
Geez alert the press
HARMONY
Okay do you guys want the news or the bad news
XANDER
You mean the good news or the bad news?
HARMONY
No! Silly!
(pause)
Okay the news is soup of the day, tomato and um, the bad news is, I finish after I tell you this so you’re going to have to sort your own seating out
Harmony starts to walk away and then jets back
HARMONY
Oh yeah, Willow, your table was double booked and you were late so you kinda have to stay with these guys too
(beat)
Have a nice dinner bye!
Harmony skips off happily as Willow, Faith and Tara drop face. Tara, Jones and Xander look at each other in worry.
CUT TO.

Andrew grabs Harmony by the bag and pulls her behind a tree
HARMONY

HARMONY
