BUFFY Spike, this vampire told me you sired him.
SPIKE That doesn't mean -
BUFFY He said you killed him. Dumped him in a parking lot somewhere.
SPIKE And you believe him? Vampires aren't -
BUFFY I did follow you last night, and you know what? You didn't look lonely or casual to me. You looked like you were on the prowl.
SPIKE You can't know that.
BUFFY So, then, tell me. Tell me what happened. You talked to her, then what?
SPIKE We talked. That's all I remember.
BUFFY All you remember?
SPIKE I don't know. I go out. I talk to people or I don't. It's boring. It all bleeds together.
BUFFY Well, if you seem to forget that much, then -
SPIKE Not that. The taste of human blood. That, I'd remember.
BUFFY You were camped out on the hell mouth talking to invisible people. Recently. How can you be sure of -
SPIKE No! You are wrong. You've got an accusation from a pile of dust and not a shred of proof.
BUFFY So, I'll get some.
