James Marsters: Spike

The Initiative

Spike

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.

[captured Spike is locked up in a cell next to that of another vampire]
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.

Harmony Kendall: [after putting up a poster of her favorite thing not on this earth... a unicorn] Spike? Spike, is that really you?
Spike: It's me, baby. Your man is...
[gets slapped through the face - hard!]
Spike: back.
Harmony Kendall: Bastard! You dumped me and staked me and hurt me and left me...
Spike: I know, sugar, but you're forgetting one other thing I did. I've missed you.
Harmony Kendall: Really?
[Spike spreads his arms wide, and she rushes into the hug]
Harmony Kendall: Oh, just don't ever do that to me again!
Spike: Oh, never!
