SPIKE: Well, look who's come to call— Crockett and Tubbs. Come on in, boys. Out of the cold into the damp. Suppose I should have expected a visit from Big Brother's L.A. Branch sooner or later. Can I get you a frosty?
GUNN: What are you up to, Spike?
SPIKE: Man gets right to the meat of the existential nut, doesn't he?
GUNN: Just a little concerned. You don't call. You don't write. What's your angle? Last time we saw you, you were booking a one-way to the continent.
SPIKE: Change of plans. Change of heart. Changed me mind, mates.
WESLEY: Sounds like you've been busy. We're getting reports of a vigilante who matches your description.
SPIKE: Yes...that's what you people do, isn't it? You get reports. And you sign checks. You read memos. Here's to the corporate teat. How'd you find me?
GUNN: Wasn't too hard. Put a couple of our psychics on it this afternoon.
WESLEY: One of the advantages of the corporate teat.

BUFFY: Yes, Agent Finn, Riley. Tell him we're having a problem with Spike's chip. No his chip. Spike.
SPIKE:(shakes his head) Listen, pet?
BUFFY: No, no, Finn is his last name. Yeah. Well, did he used to work there and then he got transferred? (Spike's chip goes off again, he thrashes on the stairs unnoticed by Buffy) Oh, is this actually a flower shop, or is this one of those things where I'm supposed to play along to show that I know it's really secret ops? Oh, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Oh, OK, right. Well, if some guy named Finn shows up to buy flowers— Yeah. Thanks. (hangs up, turns to Spike) Wrong number. Or a giant government conspiracy, one or the— (notices he's recovering from an episode) Spike?
SPIKE: This one seemed easier than the others. See? Probably just gonna fade— (screams, holding his head again)
