Quotes
-
Spike Spiegel : Hunger is the best spice they say.
-
Spike Spiegel : Hey, Jet, did you know that there are three things that I particularly hate?
Jet Black : Really?
Spike Spiegel : Kids... animals... and women with attitudes...
Jet Black : Oh?
Spike Spiegel : So tell me, Jet, why do we have all three of them neatly gathered in our ship?
-
Spike Spiegel : Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over.

[the series' final line]
Spike Spiegel : BANG.
-
Faye Valentine : Why do you have to go? Where are you going? What are going to do, just throw your life away like it was nothing?
Spike Spiegel : I'm not going there to die. I'm going to find out if I'm really alive. I have to do it, Faye.
-
Spike Spiegel : Whatever happens, happens.

[Session #8, during the Preview of Session #9: Jamming With Edward]
Ed : Ed will introduce Ed. Full name - Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky the 4th.
Spike Spiegel : That's a long name.
Faye Valentine : Who the hell's this?
Ed : Ed made up that name for Ed, isn't it cool?
Spike Spiegel : If you made it up, how can you be the 4th?
-
Julia : It was raining that day as well.
Spike Spiegel : And so you didn't come because of the rain?
Julia : I was supposed to kill you. It was all set up. If I had, I would have been free.
Spike Spiegel : So why didn't you? You chose to be hunted. Why?
Julia : Why did you love me?
-
Spike Spiegel : Uh, listen Jet. You said "bell peppers and beef." There's no beef in here. So you wouldn't really call it "bell peppers and beef," now would you?
Jet Black : Yes, I would.
Spike Spiegel : Well, it's *not*!
Jet Black : It is when you're broke!
-
Jet Black : When you and I first met, you told me something. You said that you had died once, that you had seen death. Why can't you just let it go? Forget the past.
Spike Spiegel : There was a woman, first time I'd found someone who was truly alive. At least, that's what I thought. She was... the part of me I'd lost somewhere along the way, the part that was missing, that I'd been longing for.
-
Vicious : So you are finally awake. I told you before, Spike... that I am the only one who can kill you.
Spike Spiegel : I'll return those words back to you, Vicious.
Vicious : Either way, we were destined to end up like this.
-
Frog : This is the stairway to heaven. You know that, don't you?
Spike Spiegel : Obnoxious little frog.
-
Julia : It's all... a dream...
Spike Spiegel : Yeah... just a dream...
-
Jet Black : You think it's all right to leave them alone?
Spike Spiegel : You worried about her?
Jet Black : I just thought that she might let him go.
Spike Spiegel : Does she have that much sympathy in her heart?
Jet Black : Women as insistent as her tend to be the ones who get emotionally swayed by their exes.
Spike Spiegel : Is that so?
Jet Black : Women don't work on reason.
-
Spike Spiegel : I'm not a criminal. Oh that makes me seem even more like a criminal, doesn't it?
-
[after finishing up her flashback to Ein]
Faye Valentine : Spike! How long have you been listening for?
Spike Spiegel : Too long. Your story needs editing.
-
Vicious : You should see yourself. Do you have any idea what you look like right at this moment, Spike?
Spike Spiegel : What?
Vicious : A ravenous beast. The same blood runs through both of us. The blood of a beast who wanders, hunting for the blood of others.
Spike Spiegel : I've bled all that kind of blood away.
Vicious : THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?
-
Spike Spiegel : [muffled by bandages] You sing off-key.
