SPIKE: I can feel it, Buffy.

BUFFY: What?

SPIKE: My soul. It?s really there. It kind of stings.

(...later...)

SPIKE: Go on, then.

BUFFY: No! No, you?ve done enough! You could still?

SPIKE: No, you?ve beaten them back. It?s for me to do the cleanup.

FAITH: Buffy, come on!

SPIKE: Gotta move, lamb. I think it?s fair to say, school?s out for the bloody summer.

BUFFY: Spike!

SPIKE: I mean it! I gotta do this.

(Buffy reaches for his outstretched hand, their fingers lace, then burst into flame)

BUFFY: I love you.

SPIKE: No, you don?t. But thanks for saying it. Now go!

(she does)

SPIKE: I want to see how it ends.

(he's laughing as he breaks into dust, taking the hellmouth and Sunnydale with him)
