    • Quotes

      Spike: It's bollocks, Angel! It's your brand of bollocks from first to last.

      Angel: No, you can't ever see the big picture. You can't see any picture!

      Spike: I am talking about something primal. Right? Savagery. Brutal animal instinct.

      Angel: And that wins out every time with you. You know, the human race has evolved, Spike!

      Spike: Oh, into a bunch of namby-pamby, self-analyzing wankers who could never hope to...

      Angel: We're bigger. We're smarter. Plus, there's a thing called teamwork, not to mention the superstitious terror of your pure aggressors!

      Spike: You just want it to be the way you want it to be.

      Angel: It's not about what I want!

      Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Sorry. Is this something we should all be discussing?

      Angel: No.

      Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: It just sounds a little serious.

      Angel: It was mostly... theoretical. We...

      Spike: We were just working out a - Look, if cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win?

      Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Ah. You've been yelling at each other for 40 minutes about this.

      [pause]

      Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Do the astronauts have weapons?

      Spike, Angel: No.
