captures from this scene

HAINSLEY: Hello, vampire. Have a nice nap? Naw, don't get up. You've had a rough day. You know, so have I, thanks to you.

ANGEL: Yours is about to get a hell of a lot worse.

HAINSLEY: I don't think so. Me, necromancer. You, dead. You can't lay a finger on me.

ANGEL: Maybe not. But what do you think the senior partners are gonna do to you when I turn up missing?

HAINSLEY: Oh, you're not going to be missing. You're going to show up to work bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow morning, when you'll reverse the seizure of my personal assets and reinstate the Internment Acquisitions Department.

ANGEL: And why would I do that?

SPIKE: Not you. Me. Wearing your body.

ANGEL: And to think I didn't trust you.

SPIKE: Come on, Angel. What choice did I have? Bloody exorcism? Letting you and yours banish me to oblivion? No, thanks. Necro here's gonna give me my body back... after I take yours for a test drive, fix his little problems. And here's the kicker: I go in, and you go... pfft! Off to never-never-come-back land. And then... yours very truly will be running the show. Your cars, your fancy digs, everything... *everyone* ... I deserve...will be mine. And maybe I'll have a go with that Fred. She looks like a goer, and she seems to really look up to you.

ANGEL: Shut up.

SPIKE: You know what? You're right. Enough talk. Let's do this, already. I'm itchin' to get physical.

HAINSLEY: I've never installed anyone in a conscious dead body before. I imagine this is going to be extremely painful.

(Hainsley starts the transfer, sucks Spike into himself, but Spike stays there)

HAINSLEY: Unh! What? What...are you doing?

ANGEL: Spike...would you mind?

HAINSLEY: (pulls his hand out of Angel's body) No! Noooo!

ANGEL: Can touch you now, Hainsley.

HAINSLEY: Think you're clever, eh? But—unnnnh!— Your ghost can't control me for long. I hold the power. I rule the dead.

ANGEL: Not today.

(they fight. Finally, Angel takes him down by decapitating him, leaving Spike behind as Hainsley's body slumps to the ground)

SPIKE: Oh, bollocks. I was just getting warmed up.

ANGEL: That was you hitting me?

SPIKE: The last bit, yeah. Hainsley's been dead since he hit the table. Oh, come on. Had to get a few licks in, didn't I?
