(Giles' apartment)

GILES: It will be dark soon. I think it will be wise for you to leave Sunnydale.

SPIKE: I'm not going anywhere. Not until those bastards undo whatever they did to me. Put me back the way I was.

XANDER: (sarcastic) Sure. Just explain to the nice scientist guys that you really miss killing and torturing innocent people.

SPIKE: (hopeful) Do you think that would work?

GILES: Spike-- lord knows why I'm telling you this-- it's for your own good. As long as the Initiative is in operation it's not safe for you here.

(Cut to Buffy who has just walked in.)

BUFFY: No. It's not safe for any of us.
