-
Spike : [bursts in with tarp over him; smoking] Close the door!
Xander Harris : Spike? You may want to give up these morning jogs.
-
Rupert Giles : It'll be dark soon... I think it would be wise for you to leave Sunnydale.
Spike : I'm not going anywhere... not until those bastards undo whatever they did to me. Put me back the way I was.
Xander Harris : Sure, just explain to the nice scientist guys that you *really* miss killing and torturing innocent people.
Spike : You think that would work?
Rupert Giles : Spike, Lord knows why I'm telling you this. It's for your own good. As long as the Initiative is in operation, it's not safe for you here.
Buffy Summers : No... It's not safe for any of us.

[Giles arrives at Spike's mausoleum]
Spike : Hey! Wipe your feet when you enter a person's home.
Rupert Giles : Ah, yes. Careless of me. Tracking mud all over your, um, mud.
Spike : I'll admit, it's a bit of a fixer-upper. Needs a woman's touch. Care to have a crack at it?
Rupert Giles : While I'd love to go on trading jabs with you, Spike, perhaps I'll come to the point. Much as it pains me to say it, um, I owe you a debt of gratitude for the help you provided me in my recent... metamorphosis.
Spike : Stuff the gratitude. You owe me more than that, mate.
Rupert Giles : Three hundred. Count it if you... like.
Spike : I'll do that.
[starts counting]
Rupert Giles : Um, thinking about your, um, affliction and, uh... your newfound discovery that you can fight only demons, it occurs to me that
[chuckles]
Rupert Giles : I-I realize this is completely against your nature, but I-I-I... Has it occurred to you that there may be a higher purpose?
Spike : Ugh! You made me lose count. What are you still doing here?
Rupert Giles : Talking to myself, apparently.
Spike : Well, piss off, then. This bit of business wraps up any I got with you and your Slayerettes. From here on, I want nothing to do with the lot of you.
Rupert Giles : Your choosing to remain in Sunnydale might make that a little difficult.
Spike : Well, you and yours will just have to show a little restraint is all. Now get out... And I don't want you crawling back here, knocking on my door, pleading for help the second Teen Witch's magic goes all wonky or little Xander cuts a new tooth. We're through. Got it...? Honeymoon is over.

Spike : Soldier boys are out in force. I've been trying to keep 'em off my scent, run 'em in circles, but they just keep coming.
Rupert Giles : And... how is this our concern? Seeing that you've expressed a desire to have nothing more to do with us.
Xander Harris : Spike said that?
Rupert Giles : Mm-hmm.
Xander Harris : [to Spike] That hurts.
-
Spike : Ow! Watch it. That hurts.
Rupert Giles : It doesn't appear to be a bullet. It's too deeply embedded to be a tranquilizer dart.
Spike : Also not tranquil.
Rupert Giles : Some sort of illumination emanating from it... It's blinking.
Spike : I don't care if it's playing "Rockin' the Casbah" on the bloody Jew's harp. Just get it out of me!
Rupert Giles : All right, Anya, there's a bottle of Cognac in the, uh, cabinet next to the sink. Will you get it for me?
Spike : What, you're gonna get snockered now?
Rupert Giles : It's not for me, you prat. If I'm gonna operate on you, I need you anesthetized. this'll take some time.
Xander Harris : We don't have any. That blinking thing. My pseudo-soldier memory bank tells me that's a tracer.
Rupert Giles : A what?
Spike : A what?
Xander Harris : It's like a homing beacon. And if commando guys are reading the signal, they're coming home.
[Anya hands Spike the Cognac, and he begins to guzzle it]
Rupert Giles : Well, we need to buy some time. It's in deep and I'm no surgeon.
