Quotes 

• Spike : And this, bloody hell, wasn't mine. I'm not you. I don't give a piss about atonement or destiny. Just because I've got me a soul doesn't mean I'm gonna let myself be led around by...

  Fred : Excuse me?

  Wes : Did - Did you just say - Spike has a soul? You never said.

  Angel : Didn't seem worth mentioning, you know.

  Gunn : Seems to be a lot of that.

  Spike : Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club. Another vampire with a soul in the world.

  Angel : You're not *in* the world, Casper.

• [after seeing Harmony throw a tantrum and storm out] 

  Spike : I must be in hell.

  Lorne the Host : Ah, no. L.A. But a lot of people make that mistake.

• Angel : I'm in a meeting, Spike.

  Spike : Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't care.

• [about the amulet] 

  Wesley : Do you have any memory of a strange sensation when it released its energy?

  Spike : What, you mean my skin and muscle burning away from the bone? Organs exploding in my chest? Eyeballs melting in the sockets? No. No memory at all. Thanks for asking.

• Angel : Sure you wanna do this, Spike?

  Spike : What, think I could really stand hanging out with you and your lot now and forever? Wisecracking ghost sidekick? No bloody thanks!

• [last lines of the episode] 

  Spike : I'm slipping.

  Fred : What?

  Spike : I don't want to go. But it's like... it's like the ground underneath me is splitting open and my legs are straddling both sides of this bloody big chasm. It's getting wider. Pulling me in.

  Fred : Is that... is that what's happening when you keep vanishing?

  Spike : I know what's down there, where it's trying to take me. And it's not the place heroes go. Not by a bloody long shot. It's the other one. Full of fire and torment. And it's happening. And I'm terrified...

  [pause] 

  Spike : Help me?

• Spike : Think I'm hot, do you?

  Fred : Hmm. Lukeworm. Just above room temperature.

• [Spike materializes in Angel's office at Wolfram & Hart, and bends over in pain, then realizes he's facing some familiar faces and some strangers] 

  Spike : What? What?

  Harmony : What the hell are you doing here, Spike?

  Wesley : Harmony, please.

  Gunn : This is Spike? *The* Spike?

  Fred : Wait a minute. Who's...

  Lorne : [calmly, to Spike]  Easy, slim. Easy. No one's gonna hurt you.

  Gunn : Speak for yourself, Green Jeans.

  Fred : OK, would somebody please tell me who...

  Wesley : William the Bloody. He's a vampire. One of the worst recorded. Second only to...

  Angel : Me. But you're dead.

  Harmony : Well, yeah. Who here isn't?

  [looks around] 

  Harmony : Besides him and him and her and...

  [to Lorne] 

  Harmony : What are you, again?

  Spike : [lunges at Angel in game-face, but goes right through him and winds up standing in Angel's desk]  Bugger.

• [after Angel kills Hainsley by throwing a silver dish plate at him, Spike's ghostly head sticks out] 

  Spike : Oh, bollocks.

  [Hainsley's body falls to the floor] 

  Spike : I was just getting warmed up.

  Angel : That was you hitting me?

  Spike : The last bit, yeah. Hainsley's been dead since he hit the table. Oh, come on. Had to get a few licks in, didn't I?

• [after finding a room full of human corpses] 

  Spike : Maybe the geezer's just lonely. Throws himself a surprise party every night. Picks out one of these painted pigeons and shows her a good time, if you know what I mean.

  [Angel looks at him] 

  Spike : What? I'm sure they don't mind.

• Harmony : Just since you're all soulful now, I thought maybe, just maybe, you might've learned to open up a little. You know, talk? But I guess a leopard can't change his stripes.

  Spike : Spots, you dink. Leopards have spots.

  Harmony : Oh! Excuse me, Mr. Brainy. Thank you so much for sharing. Wow. What a breakthrough.

• [to Hainsley's butler] 

  Angel : We're - I'm from Wolfram and Hart.

  Spike : I'm his date.

• Spike : I bet you're loving this.

  Angel : Knowing you'll be haunting me 'til the end of time? It's a dream come true.

• Spike : What's happened to me?

  Harmony : Well, I'm no doctor, but I think you're a ghost.

  Spike : I'm no bloody ghost.

  Harmony : Hey, you're the one sticking out of a desk, pal.

• Spike : That's how you're gonna fight the forces of evil now? Call the IRS?
