Quotes 

• Spike : I love you.

  Buffy Summers : Oh, my god.

  Spike : Hey, no. Look at me. I... love you. You're all I bloody think about... dream about. You're in my gut... my throat... I'm drowning in you, Summers. I'm drowning in you.

• Dawn : I like how you talk to me like I can understand things. Everyone else is being all twitchy and secretive.

  Spike : They're just trying to keep you safe, I expect.

  Dawn : I feel safe with you.

  Spike : [almost chokes]  Take that back!

• Spike : Just... give me something. A crumb, the barest smidgen. Tell me maybe, someday there's a chance.

  Buffy Summers : Spike... the only chance you had with me was when I was unconscious.

  Spike : Oh, wha-

  [screams, then shouts] 

  Spike : *What the bleeding hell is wrong with you bloody women*? *What the hell does it take*? *Why do you bitches torture me*?

  Buffy Summers : Which question do you want me to answer first?

• [Spike opens the door for Buffy] 

  Buffy Summers : What are you doing?

  Spike : I, uh, it was... I wasn't thinking.

  Buffy Summers : What is this?

  Spike : Oh, co- Don't get your knickers twisted, I was...

  Buffy Summers : What is this? The late-night stakeout, the bogus suspects, the flask. Is this a date?

  Spike : A d- Please! A date! You are completely off your bird. I mean- Do you want it to be?

  Buffy Summers : Uhh. Oh, my God.

• Spike : Something's happening to me. I can't stop thinking about you.

  Buffy Summers : Uhh.

  Spike : And if that means turning my back on the whole evil thing...

  Buffy Summers : You don't know *what* you mean. You don't know what feelings are.

  Spike : I damn well do! I lie awake every night.

  Buffy Summers : You sleep during the day!

  Spike : Yeah, but... You are missin' the point. This is real here. I love...

  Buffy Summers : Don't...! Don't say it. I'm going.

• Spike : Could do without the laugh track, Dru.

  Drusilla : But it's so funny. I knew... before you did. I knew you loved the Slayer. The pixies in my head whispered it to me.

• Spike : You can't tell me that there isn't anything there between you and me. I *know* you feel something.

  Buffy Summers : It's called revulsion. And whatever you think you're feeling, it's not love. You can't love without a soul.

  Drusilla : Oh, we can, you know. We can love quite well... if not wisely.

• Spike : I've changed, Buffy.

  Buffy Summers : What, that chip in your head? That's not change. Th-That's just holding you back. You're like a serial killer in prison!

  Spike : Women marry 'em all the time!

• [first lines] 

  Spike : Bleedin' crime is what it is. Jackin' up the bar price to pay for fixin' up this sinkhole. Not my fault the insurance doesn't cover "Act of Troll."

  Buffy Summers : Gee. Maybe it's time you found a new place to patronize.

  Spike : I've half a mind to, especially since the flowering onion got remodeled right off the soddin' menu. That's the only thing this place had going for it.

• Spike : You can't deny it. There's something between us.

  Buffy : Loathing. Disgust.

• [last lines] 

  Spike : So we had a fight. It's not our first, love. It doesn't change anything.

  Spike : It changes everything, Spike! I want you out! I want you out of this town. I want you off this planet! You don't come near me, my friends, or my family again, *ever*! Understand?

  Spike : No. It's not that easy. We have something, Buffy. It's not pretty, but it's real. And there's nothing either one of us can do about it...

  [Buffy enters her house] 

  Spike : ...Like it not, I'm in your life. You can't just shut me out.

  [walks into a barrier at the door and can't enter and then Buffy shuts the door] 

• [Spike offers Buffy his flask] 

  Buffy : Eww.

  Spike : It's not blood. It's bourbon.

  Buffy : Ewww.

• Buffy Summers : These vamps have been here for a while. They've nested.

  Spike : So, you're saying they're a couple of poofters?

• Spike : Well... it's just, we took on that Glory chippie together. I was right there with you, fightin' the fight.

  Buffy Summers : Actually, you were sleeping the sleep of the knocked unconscious.
