VILLAGER: (Luganda) Toyenza coyengara. Erio mtuwana. (English trans) You can't go in there. It's very dangerous.

SPIKE: Not asking for permission, mate.

VILLAGER: (Luganda) Ymirira! odja kufa! Ymirira! (English) Stop! You'll die! Stop!

(inside spooky cave of doom)

VOICE: You seek me, vampire?

SPIKE: You do the finger paintings? Nice work.

VOICE: Answer me.

SPIKE: Yeah. I seek you.

VOICE: Something about a woman. The slayer-

SPIKE: Bitch thinks she's better than me. Ever since I got this bleeding chip in my head, things aint been right. Everything's gone to hell-

VOICE: And you want to return. To your former self...

SPIKE: Yeah.

(the voice laughs)

SPIKE: What?

VOICE: Look what she's reduced you to!

SPIKE: (upset) It's this bloody chip-

VOICE: You were a legendary dark warrior - and you let yourself be castrated. And you have the audacity to crawl in here and demand restoration?

SPIKE: I'm still a warrior-

VOICE: You're a pathetic excuse for a demon-

SPIKE: Yeah? I'll show you pathetic! Give me your best shot!

VOICE: You'd never endure the trials required to grant your request.

SPIKE: Do your worst. But when I win, I want what I came here for. (darkly) Bitch is gonna see a change.
