BUFFY: Honey, we need to talk about the invitations. Now, do you wanna be William the Bloody, or just Spike? ‘Cause, either way, it's gonna look majorly weird.
SPIKE: Where as the name Buffy gives it that touch of classic elegance.
BUFFY: What's wrong with Buffy?
GILES: Huh.. such a good question.
SPIKE: (Ignoring Giles) Well, it's a terrible name.
BUFFY: My mother gave me that name.
SPIKE: Your mother, yeah, she's a genius.
