- 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.
- Harmony Kendall: You've got some nerve showing up here like this. After all this time. After breaking my sweet Boo-Boo's heart!
- Drusilla: [silently, to Spike] Boo-Boo?
- 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?
- Anya: Xander, I think you may have hurt his feelings.
- Xander Harris: And you should never hurt the feelings of a brutal killer.
- [thinks]
- Xander Harris: You know, that's, uh, that's actually some pretty good advice.
- [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.
- Joyce Summers: Honey, did you somehow, unintentionally, lead him on in any way? Uh, send him signals?
- Buffy Summers: Well... I-I do beat him up a lot... For Spike, that's, like, third base.
- Buffy Summers: Besides, you know, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this-this whole thing's just been blown way out of proportion and he's already gone back to wanting me dead.
- Willow Rosenberg: Here's hopin'.
- Buffy Summers: He's a killer, Dawn. You cannot have a crush on something that is dead and-and evil and a vampire.
- Dawn Summers: Right. That's why you were never with Angel for three years.
- Buffy Summers: Angel's different. He has a soul.
- Dawn Summers: Spike has a chip. Same diff.
- Buffy: Spike's in love with me.
- [Xander starts laughing]
- Buffy: I'm not joking.
- Xander Harris: Oh, I hope not. It's funnier if it's true.
- 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.
- Dawn Summers: I like hanging out with him is all... And even if I did have a crush, he wouldn't notice in a million years. Not with you around.
- Buffy Summers: What does that mean?
- Dawn Summers: Spike's totally into you... Oh, come on. You didn't notice? Buffy, Spike's completely in love with you.
- Buffy Summers: Huh?
- Buffy Summers: Why doesn't that register with you? Crypt plus vampire equals bad.
- Dawn Summers: 'Cause it was Spike.
- Buffy Summers: Hanging out with Spike is not cool, Dawn, okay? It is- it is dangerous and... icky.
- Dawn Summers: I don't think Spike's icky.
- Buffy Summers: Yeah, well, think again, sister... You have a crush on him.
- Dawn Summers: No, I don't. It's just...
- [laughs]
- Dawn Summers: he's got cool hair and he wears cool leather coats and stuff.
- [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]
- 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.
