Quotes 

• Spike : The only thing about the dance is, you never get to stop. Everyday you wake up, it's the same bloody question that haunts you. Is today the day I die...? Death is on your heels, baby, and sooner or later, it's gonna catch you... And part of you wants it... not only to stop the fear and uncertainty, but because you're just a little bit in love with it... Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day, that final gasp, that look of peace. A part of you is desperate to know... What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now, you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She merely wanted it. Every Slayer... has a death wish... Even you... The only reason you've lasted as long as you have is you've got ties to the world... Your mum, brat kid sister, Scoobies. They all tie you here, but you're just puttin' off the inevitable... Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second, the second that happens, you know I'll be there... I'll slip in. Have myself a real good day... Here endeth the lesson. I just wonder if you'll like it as much as she did.

  Buffy : Get out of my sight, Spike, now.

  Spike : Oh, now did I scare ya? You're the Slayer. Do somethin' about it. Hit me... Come on. One good swing. You know you want to.

  Buffy : I mean it.

  Spike : So do I. Give it me good, Buffy. Do it.

• [last lines] 

  Buffy : What do you want now?

  Spike : What's wrong?

  Buffy : I don't wanna talk about it.

  Spike : Is there something I can do?

• Spike : Come on. I can feel it, Slayer... You know you wanna dance.

  Buffy : Say it's true... Say I do want to... It wouldn't be you, Spike... It would *never* be you... You're beneath me.

• [talking about when he first learned about the Slayer] 

  Spike : After that, I was obsessed. I mean, to most vampires, a Slayer was the object of cold sweat and frightened whispers... but I never hid... Hell, I sought her out. I mean, if you're looking for fun, there's death, there's glory and sod all else, right?

  [shrugs] 

  Spike : I was young.

  Buffy Summers : So, how'd you kill her?

  Spike : [Spike moves behind Buffy]  Funny you should ask.

  [his hand whips out and takes her by the neck. She instinctively reacts and grabs a pool cue but Spike grasps her wrist] 

  Spike : Lesson the first... A Slayer must always reach for her weapon.

  [shifts to his vamp face] 

  Spike : I've already got mine.

  [he returns to normal, takes the pool cue and continues playing] 

  Spike : Hmm... A good thing, too. Become a vampire, you've got nothing to fear. Nothing but one girl. That's you, honey. Back then... it was her.

• Spike : Right. You wanna learn all about how I bested the Slayers, and you want to learn fast. Right, then. We fought. I won. The end. Pay up.

  Buffy : That's not what I...

  Spike : What did you want, eh? A quick demo? A blow-for-blow description you can map out and memorize? It's not about the moves, love. And, since I agreed to your little proposition, we're gonna do this my way. Wings.

  Buffy : What?

  Spike : Spicy buffalo wings. Order me up a plate. I'm feelin' peckish.

• Spike : How many of my kind rekon you've done?

  Buffy : Not enough.

  Spike : Mm-hmm. And we just keep coming. But you can kill a hundred, a thousand, a thousand thousand and the armies of Hell besides, and all we need... is for one of us, just one, sooner or later to have the thing we're all hoping for.

  Buffy : And that would be what?

  Spike : One good day.

• Rupert Giles : You didn't lose last night, Buffy. You just...

  Buffy Summers : Got really close... I-I slipped up, Giles. I've been training harder than ever and still I... And there's nothing in any of these books to help me understand why. I mean, look. I realize that every Slayer comes with an expiration mark on the package. But I want mine to be a long time from now, like a Cheeto... If there were just a few good descriptions of what took out the other Slayers, maybe it would help me to understand my mistake, to keep it from happening again.

• Dawn Summers : Come on. Who's the man?

  Buffy : You are. A very short, annoying man.

• Dawn Summers : When do I get to patrol?

  Buffy Summers : Not until you're never.

• [first lines] 

  Buffy Summers : You know, it's probably none of my business, but I just gotta ask... Did you smell this bad when you were alive...? 'Cause if it's a postmortem thing, then, boy, is my face red. But, just so you know, the fast-growing field of personal grooming's come a long way since you became a vampire.
