Quotes 

• Spike : 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.

• Spike : You never knew the real me. Too busy tryin' to see your own reflection, praying there was someone as disgusting as you in the world, so you could stand to live with yourself. Take a long look, hero. I'm nothing like you.

  Angel : No. You're less. That's why Buffy never really loved you. Because you weren't me.

• Angel : [about Spike]  I like this one. We're gonna be the best of friends.

  [flashes forward in time to present day] 

  Angel : [angrily]  Spike, get the hell away from me.

• [Spike drinks from the Cup of Perpetual Torment, then drops it, astonished] 

  Angel : Spike?

  Spike : It's... Mountain Dew!

• Spike : Is that what you think you are, a hero?

  Spike : Saved the world, didn't I?

  Angel : Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

• Angel : [sarcastically, to Spike]  You're a real hero.

  Eve : And that's our problem in a nutshell.

  Spike : Our problem?

  Angel : Eve's got this theory.

  Eve : Fact, Jack. There's only supposed to be one candidate for the vampire with the soul hero part in the big show. Two of you, and the wheel of destiny starts to spin off its axis. That's why everything and everyone is going mad.

  Spike : Hold on a tick. You're blaming this on us?

  Angel : No, she's blaming it on you.

  Eve : This town might not be big enough for the both of you.

• Angel : [on phone]  You took my Viper.

  Spike : My Viper now, mate. Possession's nine-tenths. Oughta know that, runnin' a law firm and such.

• Spike : [about Drusilla]  It's like she's still got a bit of a child in her.

  Angelus : Perhaps two or three by now.

• Charles Gunn : So, you know what's going on?

  Eve : Only what I'm told, counselor. Corporate seers alerted me to the situation.

  Angel : Which is?

  Eve : It's a harbinger.

  Winifred Burkle : Harbinger?

  Eve : Upshot is we've got trouble with a capital T, and the rhymes with P, and that's for "prophecy." Shanshu. Maybe you've heard of it.

  Angel : Oh, God. That again, yeah. I'm familiar. So?

  Eve : So it talks about a champion - a vampire with a soul who will play a pivotal role in the apocalypse... for good or evil. Anybody's guess. That part's hazy.

  Winifred Burkle : I thought the Shanshu had to do with Angel becoming human again after...

  Eve : That's just the epilogue, princess. And for the record, the prophecy doesn't call Angel by name.

  Charles Gunn : Hold on. You're saying because Spike's back, you think he's...

  Eve : i don't think anything. All I can tell you is his very existence is disrupting the order of things.

  Angel : No argument here.

  Charles Gunn : This doesn't add up. There were already two souled vampires in the universe before Spike fried. Why is this happening now?

  Eve : Key word is "champion." Spike gave his life to save the world. That gives him the cred. But when he died and became a ghost, case closed. Now that he's back, all bets are off, kids.

• Fred : [Seeing Angel after his fight with Spike]  God, what happened to you?

  Angel : I fell down some stairs. Big stairs.
