SPIKE: Thought it'd be a little less goldeny, what with the torment and all.

ANGEL: So... what do we do now?

(suddenly, Spike punches Angel, dropping him)

SPIKE: What do ya think?

(commercial)

SPIKE: Come on! Let's see how much soul you really got in there.

ANGEL: Spike, we don't have time for this.

SPIKE: Keep your knickers dry, Sally. You're not gonna last that long.

ANGEL: Fine. We'll do it your way.

(they fight)

SPIKE: Ha ha ha ha! Oh, yeah. Look at you. Thinking you're the big savior—fighting for truth, justice, and soccer moms—but you still can't lay flesh on a cross without smelling like bacon, can you?

ANGEL: Like you're any different.

SPIKE: Well, that's just it. I am. And you know it. You had a soul forced on you—as a curse. Make you suffer for all the horrible things you'd done. But me... I fought for my soul. Went through the demon trials. Almost did me in a dozen times over, but I kept fighting. 'Cause I knew it was the right thing to do. It's my destiny.

ANGEL: Really? Heard it was just to get into a girl's pants.

(more fighting)
