Spike- beginning to think you'd sleep the night away.

Buffy- Dru... Drusilla?

Drusilla- not nice to change the game in mid-play, Spike... You've taken my chair and the music hasn't stopped.

Spike-sorry, pet. My house, my rules.

Drusilla- I think I shall be very cross with you when I'm free again.

Buffy- what's going on?

Spike- simple... I'm going to prove something... I love you.

Buffy- oh my god...

Spike- 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, drowning in-- can 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... I thought they would fly away...

Spike- you can't tell me there isn't anything there between you and me. I know you feel something.

Buffy- 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- you still don't believe. Still don't think I mean it. You want proof? How's this? I'm going to kill Drusilla for you.

Buffy- that's not going to prove anything. Except that you're a miserable, sick vampire I should've dusted a long time ago. And, hey, already there.

Spike- dont mock this.

Buffy- go mock yourself.

Spike- this is Drusilla, girl. Do you have the slightest idea how much she means to me? This is the face of my salvation. Before Dru, I was nothing. A speck. But when she bit me, she delivered me from mediocrity. For over a century-- we cut a swath through the continents, shared a bed, drank from the same vein... A hundred years, and she never stopped surprising me... Never stopped taking me to new depths. I was a lucky bloke, to touch such a black beauty. Lucky just to stand in her light...

Drusilla- tsk. Aww. Oww!

Spike- so you see, it means something.

Buffy- not to me. Kill her, why do I care?

Spike- here's why; if you don't admit that there's something there... Some tiny feeling for me... Then I'll untie Dru and let her kill you instead.

Drusilla- yes please. I like that game much better.

Spike- just... Give me something... A crumb, the barest smidge.... Tell me someday, maybe, there's a chance...

Buffy- Spike... The only chance you had with me was when I was unconscious.

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

Buffy- which question do you want me to answer first?

Spike- I'm at the end of my bleeding tether! I don't know why I even bother! It's your fault. You're to blame for all this, you know.

Drusilla- am I?

Spike- bloody right you are. If you hadn't left me for that chaos demon, I'd never come back here. Wouldn't have this sodding chip in my skull... And you... You wouldn't be able to touch me. Because this-- this thing with you-- it's wrong! I know it! I'm not a complete idiot! You think I like having you here?! Destroying everything that was me until all that's left is you in a dead shell. You say you hate it but you won't leave. What I should just do is get rid of both of you-- burn you! Cut you into little pieces! So there won't be any more bints to cock things up for-- oh great.

Harmony- what about me, Spike? Huh? Forget about me again? The actual girlfriend? I gave you the best... Bunch of months... Of my life. I did everything to please you. Did you ever once think about my wants? My fantasies?

Spike- um... Not so much, no.

Harmony- well they were... Deep. And beautiful. And you should have.

Drusilla- that's right, little girl. Teach our naughty boy a lesson. Such a disappointment to all of us, he is.

Spike- oh, so now you're all ganging up...

Harmony- I thought I could change you, Spike. I thought maybe if I gave, and gave, and gave, you'd come around... Maybe be a little nicer. Stop treating me like your dog. But now I see its you! You're the dog... Who needs to be put down--ow! Your on my hair!

Drusilla- hear the pretty music? It's a dirge I think... For your funeral... But it's not here... Poor Spike... So lost. Even I can't help you now.
