SPIKE: Care? Joyce was the only one of the lot of you that I could stand.
XANDER: And she's the only one with a daughter you wanted to shag. I'm touched.
SPIKE: I liked the lady. Understand monkey boy? She was decent. Didn't put on airs. Always had a nice cuppa for me. And she never treated me like a freak.
XANDER: Her mistake.
SPIKE: Think what you want.

~~Forever~~
