Spike: Oh, man. You are really under it, aren't you?
Riley: What?
Spike: Look at you. All afraid I'm hot for your honey.
Riley: Because you are.
Spike: Well ... yeah. But that's not your problem. Even if I wasn't in the picture, you're never gonna be able to hold onto her. Ow, bloody hell!
Riley: Maybe I didn't almost kill you enough.
Spike: Come on. You're not the long haul guy and you know it.
Riley: Shut up.
Spike: You know it. Or else you wouldn't be getting suck jobs from two-bit vampire trulls. The girl needs some monster in her man ... and that's not in your nature... no matter how low you try to go.
Riley: You actually think you've got a shot with her?
Spike: No, I don't. Fella's gotta try, though. Gotta do what he can.
Riley: If you touched her... you know I'd kill you for real.
Spike: I had this chip outta my head, I'da killed you long ago. Ain't love grand?
