Buffy:
We were never close. You just wanted me because I was... unattainable.

Spike:
You think that's all that was?

Buffy:
Please, let's not go over the past.

Spike:
Oh, no, no! Oh, let's hold on here! I've hummed along to your pity ditty. I think I should have the mic for a bit.

Buffy:
Fine. The stage is yours. Cheer me up.

Spike:
You're insufferable.

Buffy:
Thank you. That really helped.

Spike:
I'm not tryin' to cheer you up.

Buffy:
Then what are you trying to say?

Spike:
I don't know! I'll know when I'm done sayin' it. Something pissed me off, and I just-- "unattainable," that's it.

Buffy:
Fine. I'm attainable. I'm a-- I'm an "attain-a-thon." May I please just go to sleep?

Spike:
You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. Don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood... which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred-plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of. You... Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say I love you, it's not because I want you, or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are. What you do. How you try. I've seen your kindness, and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you, and I understand, with perfect clarity, exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the One, Buffy.

Buffy:
I don't want to be the One.

Spike:
I don't want to be this good-looking and athletic. We all have crosses to bear.
