Quotes 

• Buffy Summers : How did you do it? How'd you get your soul back?

  Spike : Saw a man about a girl... I went to seek a legend out. Traveled to the other side of the world, made a deal with a demon.

  Buffy Summers : Just like that?

  Spike : No, not just like that. There was a price. There were trials. Torture. Pain and suffering... of sorts.

  Buffy Summers : Of sorts?

  Spike : Well, it's all relative, innit?

  Buffy Summers : Meaning?

  Spike : Meaning I have come to redefine the words "pain" and "suffering" since I fell in love with you.

  Buffy Summers : How can you say that?

  Spike : Apparently, I just slaughtered half of Sunnydale, pet. I'm not really worried about being polite anymore.

• Buffy Summers : It's not your fault. You're not the one doing this.

  Spike : I already did it. It's already done... You wanna know what I've done to girls Dawn's age...? This is me, Buffy. You've gotta kill me before I get out.

  Buffy Summers : We can keep you locked up. We'll keep you here, and we'll figure out...

  Spike : Have you ever really asked yourself why you can't do it? Off me? After everything I've done to you, to people around you... It's not love. We both know that.

  Buffy Summers : You fought by my side. You've saved lives, you've helped...

  Spike : Don't do that. Don't rationalize this into some noble act. 'Cause we both know the truth of it... You like men who hurt you.

  Buffy Summers : No.

  Spike : You need the pain we cause you. You need the hate. You need it to do your job, to be the Slayer.

  Buffy Summers : No! I don't hate like that. Not you, or myself. Not anymore.
