captures from this scene

(Spike is emptying the private Jet's stock of miniature Jack Daniels bottles)

SPIKE: Can't even get drunk. Why would anyone ever make a bottle this small? It's inhuman.

(he puts down the bottle, turns to Angel)

SPIKE: Thousands would have died if we'd saved her.

ANGEL: Yeah.

SPIKE: She wouldn't have wanted that.

ANGEL: Yeah. I tried calling Wes. There was no answer.

SPIKE: I guess she's gone, then. (ranting again) It's like a bloody tease. It's like, Here's what a bottle of Jack would look like if you actually had one, or, here's a drink, but it's very far away.

ANGEL: What does that mean? Really?

SPIKE: It's a play on perspective.

(holds up the bottle, wiggling it for Angel to see)

ANGEL: Gone. What does it mean that she's gone?

SPIKE: Well, in the world of men, a person dies, they stay that way.

ANGEL: Unless you're a vampire.

SPIKE: Or the ghost of one that saved the world.

ANGEL: Or Buffy. Death doesn't have to be the end, not in our world. Rules can be broken. All you have to do... is push hard enough.
