Quotes 

• Spike : I don't understand... This sort of thing's never happened to me b-before.

  Willow Rosenberg : Maybe you were nervous.

  Spike : I felt all right when I started... Let's try again.

  [he leaps on her and draws back in pain] 

  Spike : Ow! Oh!

  [he tries again] 

  Spike : Ow...! *Damn it*!

  Willow Rosenberg : Maybe you're trying too hard... Doesn't this happen to every vampire?

  Spike : Not to me, it doesn't.

  Willow Rosenberg : It's me, isn't it?

  Spike : What are you talking about?

  Willow Rosenberg : Well, you came looking for Buffy, then settled. I-I... You didn't wanna bite me. I just happened to be around.

  Spike : Piffle!

  Willow Rosenberg : I know I'm not the kind of girl vamps like to sink their teeth into... It's always like, "Ooh, you're like a sister to me" or, "Oh, you're such a good friend."

  Spike : Don't be ridiculous. I'd bite you in a heartbeat.

  Willow Rosenberg : Really?

  Spike : Thought about it.

  Willow Rosenberg : [slightly flattered]  When?

  Spike : Remember last year, you had on that, uh, fuzzy pink number with the lilac underneath?

  Willow Rosenberg : I never woulda guessed. You played the blood-lust kinda cool.

  Spike : Mmm. I hate being obvious. All fangy and "Rrrr!" Takes the mystery out.

  Willow Rosenberg : But if you could...

  Spike : *If* I could, yeah.

  Willow Rosenberg : You know, this doesn't make you any less terrifying.

  Spike : [sighs]  Don't patronize me.

• [Spike captured and in a cell] 

  Spike : And, uh, they are...? The government? Nazis? A major cosmetics company?

  Tom : Who cares? All I know is, one minute I'm running from the Slayer and the next thing, I'm here.

  Spike : *The Slayer*! I knew it! I knew it!

  Tom : Yeah, she took apart my crew and led me straight to these guys.

  Spike : Set me up, too. I always worried what would happen when that bitch got some funding.

• Spike : I'm only 126.

  Willow Rosenberg : You're being too hard on yourself. Why don't we wait a half an hour and try again?

• [Knock on door] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Come in.

  [Spike enters, Willow jumps out of bed] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Spike...! Wh-Wh-What do you want? A-A spell? I can do that.

  Spike : I'll give you a choice. Now I'm gonna kill you. No choice in that. But... I can let you stay dead, or... bring you back, to be like me.

  Willow Rosenberg : I'll-I'll scream!

  Spike : [chuckles]  Bonus.
