Buffy: Life is stupid.
Spike: I have a dim memory of that, yeah. And I didn't figure you were here cadging my whiskey 'cause life's all full of blood and peaches.
Buffy: No. There's this thing ... someone's doing stuff to me. Messing up my life. Except that it was kind of pre-messed already. You know, with school, and jobs ... pretty bad even without the evil.
Spike: So you, uh, just what? Gonna let this whoever play you till it figures out what kills you?
Buffy: Giles is working on it.
Spike: Oh, good, 'cause Giles wields the mighty force of library books.
Buffy: You'd do better?
Spike: Damn right! I'd hit the demon world. Ask questions, throw punches, find out what's in the air. Hmm? It's fun too.
Buffy: It's not my kind of fun.
Spike: Yeah. It is. And your life's gonna get a lot less confusing when you figure that out.
Buffy: You have had *so* too much to drink at this point, I am cuttin' you off.
Spike: You're not a schoolgirl. You're not a shop girl. You're a creature of the darkness. Like me. Try on my world. See how good it feels.
Buffy: Are there drinks in your world?
