SPIKE: (to Angelus) Yeah, you know what I prefer to being hunted? Getting caught.

ANGELUS: That's a brilliant strategy really... pure cunning.

SPIKE: Sod off! (laughs) Come on. When was the last time you unleashed it? All out fight in a mob, back against the wall, nothing but fists and fangs? Don't you ever get tired of fights you know you're going to win?

ANGELUS: No. A real kill. A good kill. It takes pure artistry. Without that, we're just animals.

SPIKE: Poofter!

(Angelus shoves Spike and the fight is on. Angelus snaps a metal rod in half, lifts Spike up and slams him down on his back, raising the makeshift stake. Spike stops it inches from his heart and smiles up at Angelus.)

SPIKE: Now you're gettin' it!

(Angelus drops the rod and backs off)

ANGELUS: You can't keep this up forever. If I can't teach you, maybe someday an angry crowd will. That... or the Slayer.

(Spike sits up, suddenly interested. )

SPIKE: What's a Slayer?

([09] cut to the present, the Bronze)

SPIKE: (to Buffy) After that, I was obsessed. I mean, to most vampires, the Slayer was the subject of cold sweat and frightened whispers. But I never hid. Hell, I sought her out. I mean, if you're looking for fun, there's death, there's glory and sod all else, right? (shrugs) I was young.
