It's only our methods that differ; we use the latest in scientific technology and state of the art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.
Er, its more effective then it sounds-
Oh, I'm - quite sure of that. As I'm just as sure that we can learn much from each other. I'm working on getting you clearance into the Initiative, I think you'll find the results of our operation most impressive. Agent Finn here alone has killed and captured... How many is it?
Seventeen : eleven vampires, six demons.
Oh... wow. I mean, that's... seventeen.
How many Hostiles would you say you've slain?
[uncomfortably searches for the right words]
But you killed the- You did that thing with that- Uh, you drowned. And the snake! Not to mention... daily... slayage of... Wow.
It's no big, really. Hey, who wants ice cream?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of "apocalypse".
[Light-heartedly] Look, if you were fighting since you were fifteen, you'd have a hefty resume too!
[Spike is in the process of moving out of Xander's basement.]
You own nothing. This shouldn't be taking so long.
Hang on. Let a fella get organized. [picks up radio.]
And you're what? Shocked and disappointed? I'm evil!
Spike. Wonderful. A perfect end to a perfect day.
Go on, then. Let's get on with the fighting -- You understand me?
Of course I understand you.
No, you're speaking Fyarl. I happen to speak Fyarl. And... by the way, why the hell are you suddenly a Fyarl demon? You just come over all demony this morning?
And I'm just supposed to help you out of the evilness of my heart?
Y-you help me and I-I don't kill you.
Oh, tremendously convincing. Try it again without the stutter.
Money. I could pay you money.
Oh, I like money. How much?
A hundred dollars? You'll have to do a lot better than that. Two hundred.
Yes, fabulous technology. You see, if anyone has any information I need to know, they can, us, simply tell me about it, through this ingenious speaking tube. I'm very excited.
I am sorry, Giles. I really thought I told you about Riley and the Initiative, and I know that it doesn't help. Look, I promise, it won't happen again. I will tell you everything.
Buffy, I don't want to ask you to, um, betray any confidences, and I certainly don't want to interfere...
Uh-oh. You have but-face. You look like you're gonna say "but".
But... this, um, Initiative, I'm-I'm a little concerned. Um, Ethan's not exactly a reliable source, but, um, I'm not sure that he's wrong about them.
I'm not dating the Initiative. I'm dating Riley. He's a good guy.
And I-I believe that, but he's part of something that we-we don't really understand.
Are you sure you're not just saying this because you don't like Riley's boss?
No, no, I'm not saying that at all. Though I do hate her quite a lot. But I want you to have your personal life, but keep your eyes open. Make sure you know what you're getting into.
So, she walks in and the rules just suddenly break.
Be careful with her. She reacts on instinct. There's no discipline there. Her loyalties are uncertain.
You won't be disappointed in her. She's good at what she does, and she is the truest soul I've ever known.
Oh, no. [laughing] Oh, no. Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.
I'm just saying she'll work out. You'll be proud of her.
You want to know what I think? I think you're probably right.
