[after Spike slays a vampire for her]
"Spike, why did you do that?"- Buffy
"Not for money, if that's what you're thinkin'. Your heartfelt gratitude's plenty. 'Spect I'll be getting that any moment."- Spike
"Gratitude? For getting in my way?"- Buffy
"G-Getting in your way? I saved you."- Spike
"I was regrouping."- Buffy
"You were about to be regrouped into separate piles. You needed help."- Spike
"I didn't need you. I never need you, Spike."- Buffy
"Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height... Oh, wait, he's run off."- Spike
"You know what? I don't need a boyfriend. To rescue me or for any other reason."- Buffy
"Don't need or can't keep? You keep making notches in the headboard, but eventually, they get up out of the bed and run off, don't they?"- Spike
"You're disgusting."- Buffy
"Rough talk. Maybe that's your problem. Maybe you push 'em away? Or is it the other? Maybe you cling too much? Or maybe, your beauty's fading. The stress of slaying aging you prematurely. Things not as high, not as firm."- Spike
"You know what, Spike? The more I get to know you, the more I wish I didn't."- Buffy
"Or maybe you just don't hold their interest."- Spike
