SPIKE: (angrily) Slayer.

BUFFY: And so my night is now complete.

SPIKE: You never showed.

BUFFY: Sorry. Little busy actually doing stuff.

SPIKE: You shouldn't be so flip, luv.

BUFFY: What are you gonna do, walk behind me to death?

SPIKE: I'm just saying things might be a little different. You oughta be careful.

BUFFY: Enough. (she starts to go, he blocks her) Get out of my way.

SPIKE: Or what? (she shrugs, punches him) Oh, the pain! The pain! (grimly) Is gone. Guess what I just found out. Looks like I'm not as toothless as you thought, sweetheart.

BUFFY: (alarmed) How?

SPIKE: Don't you get it? Don't you see? (sneering) You came back wrong.

(she punches him a few times, he responds in kind)

BUFFY: It's a trick. You did something to the chip, it's a trick.

SPIKE: It's no trick. It's not me, it's you. Just you, in fact, that's the funny part. (punches her in the face) 'Cause you're the one that's changed. (punches again) That's why this doesn't hurt me. (grins) Came back a little less human than you were.

SPIKE: Then how come you're so spooked, luv? And why can I - (punches her) do that?

BUFFY: You're wrong.

BUFFY: Me? I'm lost? Look at you, you idiot! Poor Spikey. Can't be a human, can't be a vampire. Where the hell do you fit in? Your job is to kill the slayer. But all you can do is follow me around making moon eyes.

SPIKE: I'm in love with you.

BUFFY: You're in love with pain. Admit it. You like me ... because you enjoy getting beat down. So really, who's screwed up?

SPIKE: Hello! Vampire! I'm supposed to be treading on the dark side. What's your excuse?

(later, still fighting)

SPIKE: I wasn't planning on hurting you. (smirks) Much.

BUFFY: You haven't even come close to hurting me.

SPIKE: Afraid to give me the chance? (Buffy shoves him violently against the wall) You afraid I'm gonna-

(Buffy shuts him up by kissing him passionately, the house begins to crack & tumble down around them. And, then, Buffy leaves us all incoherent & gasping in shock by... well, just go watch it, no description is going to do it justice!)
