• [Spike is on a chandelier] 

  Crowley : Oh, incidentally, Spike, nice of you to drop in. Ha ha ha ha... Ah... that's funny.

  [He hacks, with his axe, the rope that holds up the chandelier, and Spike falls] 

  Pierce : I get his parking space.

• Spike : [Watching Mrs. Seidelbaum get crushed by a giant lizard]  That's entertainment!

  Crowley : [Applauding]  Oh, he's good. He's so good!

  Pierce : Shocking.

  Crowley : Sir, this is Pierce... our new, uh, intern.

  Spike : Mr. Pierce, if you can't stomach the sight of blood...

  Pierce : It's not the blood I find distressing. It's your lack of subtext.

  Spike : Film school graduate?

  Pierce : Yes, sir! USC. I did my thesis on Kurosawa and Spike Lee.

  Spike : Mr. Pierce, let me educate you about our organization. Here at Hellvision, we've turned the process of soul acquisition into an entertainment extravaganza. And all for the benefit of one very demanding viewer below.

  Crowley : The boss himself. And I don't mean Springsteen!

  Spike : He has an enormous appetite for misfortune. It is our job to supply him with an eclectic offering of light amusements... NOT SUBTEXT!
