Spike and Willow in “The Initiative”

[Spike, having tricked Willow into inviting him into her dorm room, prepares to attack her.]

Spike

I'll give you a choice. Now I'm going to kill you - no choice in that. But I can let you stay dead... or bring you back, to be like me.

Willow [frightened]: I'll scream!

Spike

Bonus. [moves toward Willow's neck]

...

[A short time later, Spike sits on Willow's bed, confused and disconsolate. Willow still cowers from him.]

Spike

I don't understand. This sort of thing's never happened to me b-before.

Willow

Maybe you were nervous.

Spike

I felt all right when I started. Let's try again. [he leaps on her and draws back in pain] Ow! Oh! {he tries again] Ow! Damn it!

Willow

Maybe you're trying too hard. Doesn't this happen to every vampire?

Spike

Not to me it doesn't.

Willow

It's me, isn't it?

Spike

What are you talking about?

Willow

Well, you came looking for Buffy, then settled. You didn't wanna bite me. I just happened to be around.

Spike

Piffle.

Willow

I know I'm not the kind of girl vamps like to sink their teeth into. It's always like, "Oooh, you're like a sister to me," or, "Oh, you're such a good friend."

Spike

Don't be ridiculous. I'd bite you in a heartbeat.

Willow

Really?

Spike

Thought about it.

Willow

When?

Spike

Remember last year, you had on that, uh, fuzzy pink number with the lilac underneath?

Willow

I never would've guessed. You played the blood-lust kinda cool.

Spike

Mmm. I hate being obvious. All fangy and "rrr!" Takes the mystery out.

Willow

But if you could...

Spike

If I could, yeah.

[beat]

Willow

You know, this doesn't make you any less terrifying.

Spike

Don't patronize me. [desperate and embarrassed]: I'm only 126!

Willow

You're being too hard on yourself. Why don't we wait a half an hour and try again? Or...

[Willow grabs a lamp, smashes it over Spike's head and tries to flee the room.]
