SPIKE: No army of doom scorching the earth. Huzzah for our side.

ANGEL: We need to close the gateway to Illyria's temple. Permanently. I don't want any more surprises.

SPIKE: What about the leather queen?

ANGEL: She still has enough juice to be a threat. We regroup and we take care of it. Wes?

WESLEY: It's all we can do. I'll be in the lab. (walks out)

SPIKE: (sighs) Long day. That offer still good? Send me abroad, roving agent and all?

ANGEL: Yeah, it's still good.

SPIKE: Great. (sighs) Maybe we should send Gunn... before Wes has another poke.

ANGEL: (surprised) You're not leaving?

SPIKE: This is what she would have wanted. (thinks about it) It's what *I* want. I don't really like you. Suppose I never will. But this is important, what's happening here. Fred gave her life for it. The least I can do is give what's left of mine. The fight's comin', Angel. We both feel it... and it's gonna be a hell of a lot bigger than Illyria. Things are gonna get ugly. (shrugs and smiles) That's where I live.
