Once upon a time, I did not like rocks.
In fact, I was more of a fan of socks.
But very soon that would all change
Upon the visit of one who was strange,
My heart and my life, how he rearranged.

Pinkie asks Spike to keep Maud company until she gets off work, but he can't just sit there and say nothing to Maud, right? But she barely talks back, so he continues filling the silence, and... well, he should have stayed quiet.
