Scene: Christina's lair

[Dawn is chained to the wall and AJ is chained to a metal bed or some sort. Christina enters as Dawn starts to wake up. Dawn looks around at her surroundings and is very scared.]

Christina: [looks at Dawn] Don't scream…if you scream now, you won't get a chance to scream later.

[Christina walks over to AJ who is still unconscious and leaned over and kissed AJ who woke up.]

AJ: Where the hell am I?

Christina: That's for me to know, you to find out, and that girl to never know.

AJ: [Turns his head and sees Dawn] Why is she here?

Christina: I'm not telling you now; I've seen way too many movies to give away the plot. Isn't technology wonderful. [Walks over to Dawn] Since we're going to be here for a while, we should get to know each other. So kid, what's your name?

AJ: [Looks at Dawn] Don't tell her. [Tries to break out of restraints, but fails]

Christina: All those drugs I gave you when you were asleep must have weakened you. Now is you excuse me, I must go to the surface to feed, and to have a little fun. Ya know, the two things you haven't done since ya got your poor pathetic soul to remind you of all your sins. Be back at daylight. [leaves]

Dawn: You have a soul, why didn't you tell me.

AJ: [weakly] Between that wonderful kiss, you finding out what I am, splashing me with holy water and being kidnapped by my ex-girlfriend who dumped me when I received my soul; I just haven't found the time.

Dawn: How did you get your soul anyway?

AJ: It was about 1898, it was Angelus's birthday and Darla got him a present.

Dawn: What did she get him?

AJ: A girl, dumb as a post, but a favorite of her clan.

Dawn: Clan?

AJ: Gypsies. The Romany are the kind of people that want revenge. [Tries to break restraints again] [Groans]

Dawn: What's wrong?

AJ: Do you have any identical sisters, because I see [whispers and points with finger] one…two…three…[regular voice] Three of you, but that's the good part; the bad part is this aching pain inside my skull.

[Door breaks down and it's Spike with a bottle of wine and an ax.]

Spike: I knew you were here if nibblin was here.

[AJ was having uncontrollable outbursts]

[Spike breaks Dawn free from her restraints and starts to walk over to AJ while he was still babbling]

Spike: What the bloody hell is wrong with him.

Dawn: [Rubbing her wrists] Christina gave him lots of drugs while he was unconscious.

Spike: Christina's in town. [Looks around Christina's lair] Is this her lair? [Takes AJ off the metal bed and helps him walk.] [Dawn nods] Then we have to get the hell out of here.

[AJ's drugs wear off, but it is still weak.]

AJ: [weakly] I'm okay… ow.

[The Scooby Gang enters and Xander pushes AJ into the giant fountain in Christina's lair. AJ stays on the bottom of the pool.]
