SPIKE: Come on, hero. Tell me more. Teach me what it means. And I'll tell you why you can't stand the bloody sight of me.

ANGEL: Tell it to your therapist.

SPIKE: 'Cause every time you look at me... you see all the dirty little things I've done, all the lives I've taken... because of you! Drusilla sired me... but you... you made me a monster.

ANGEL: I didn't make you, Spike. I just opened up the door... and let the real you out.

(Spike picks up the cross that burned Angel before and swings it at Angel, knocking him across the room. Spike holds the cross in his hands.)

SPIKE: You never knew the real me. Too busy trying to see your own reflection... praying there was someone as disgusting as you in the world, so you could stand to live with yourself. Take a long look, hero. I'm nothing like you!

ANGEL: No. You're less. That's why Buffy never really loved you: Because you weren't me.

SPIKE: Guess that means she was thinking about you... all those times I was puttin' it to her.

ANGEL: All right... (changes into vampire face) let's finish this.

(Spike changes into vampire face as well. They charge each other.)
