SPIKE: I need a curse.
Shopkeeper: A what?
SPIKE: A curse! Y'know, something nasty. Boils. I wanna give him boils all over his face. You know, dripping pustules. Let's really go for the gusto here.
Shopkeeper: I'm hearing a lot of negative energy, and I bet...
SPIKE: (interrupts) Leprosy! Alright, a spell that makes his parts fall off. That sounds proper.
Shopkeeper: We don't carry... leprosy. (Willow enters) Would you excuse me a moment?
(to Willow) Blessed be. Anything in particular I can help you find?
WILLOW: Yeah. It's all here on the list. Skink root, essence of rose thorn, canary feathers...
Shopkeeper: Aha! (smiles) A love spell. Want that old lover to come back to you? Are you sure you know what you're doing, hon?
WILLOW: (flustered) No. Oh, I mean, yes! I... I know how to do a love spell, but this is more of an anti-love spell. Yeah. Uh, kind of a de- lusting. The supplies are basically the same, right?
Shopkeeper: (smiles) Basically. Although raven feathers tend to breed a little more discontent than canary. Let me just get some things... Okay. Mm-hmm. That'll be $15.80 for the lot.
WILLOW: Thanks! (leaves)
Shopkeeper: (to Spike) So, did you find a spell book?
(Spike vamps out, bites her.) SPIKE: Forget the book. I just got a better idea.
