BUFFY: What's going on?
SPIKE: Simple. I'm gonna prove something. I love you.
BUFFY: Oh my god.
SPIKE: No, look at me! I love you. You're all I bloody think about. Dream about. You're in my gut, my throat, I'm drowning in you, Summers, I'm drowning in you… I can do without the laugh track, Dru.
DRUSILLA: But it's so funny. I knew before you did. I knew you loved the Slayer. The pixies in my head whispered it to me.
SPIKE: You can't tell me that there isn't anything there between you and me. I know you feel something.
BUFFY: It's called revulsion. And whatever you think you're feeling, it's not love. You can't love without a soul.
DRUSILLA: Oh, we can, you know. We can love quite well. If not wisely.
