Don't get too heartbroken over it, Spike.

Well, I'm sure I'll get to see some of the excitement soon. Doesn't everyone talk about these curses coming back 'round?

Hey- maybe one would even get rid of you for a day! Or give you a horribly uncomfortable disease. I'd be happy either way, really.

It's not like I sit down there and make small talk with you. I leave you alone to sit there and occasionally give you blood so you don't whine as much. Otherwise? I'd rather not spend too much time in your company.

Feelin's mutual, peaches. And let me tell you how grateful I am that you don't come down for any heart-to-hearts.

But obviously, I'm not rid of you, seein' as how I've been stuck in your soddin' cellar for weeks, nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs. Men can go mad in this much isolation, you know.

Something tells me we handle things a little differently.

This can't wait. He's going to alert the force and we're going to look like the villains.

I'm meeting Buffy there.

I'm clearing the premises, then. I wouldn't agree to letting go of him, so I'll be gone.

Good luck, Wes.

Best if you're at the office or something.

Just what I had in mind, actually.
