• [last lines] 

  Spike : Well, I haven't been to a hell dimension just of late, but I do know a thing or two about torment.

  Buffy Summers : I was happy... Wherever I was... I was happy... At peace. I knew that everyone I cared about was all right. I knew it. Time... didn't mean anything. Nothing had form. But I was still me, you know...? And I was warm. And I was loved. And I was finished. Complete... I-I don't understand theology or dimensions, any of it, really... But I think I was in heaven... And now I'm not. I was torn out of there. Pulled out... by my friends. Everything here is hard and bright and violent... Everything I feel, everything I touch... this is Hell. Just getting through the next moment, and the one after that, knowing what I've lost...

  [starts to leave] 

  Buffy Summers : They can never know. Never.

• Spike : Uh, I do remember what I said. The promise... to protect her. If I'd have done that... even if I didn't make it... you wouldn't have had to jump... But I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but after that... Every night after that. I'd see it all again... I do some different. Faster, more clever, you know...? Dozens of times, lots of different ways... Every night I save you.

• Buffy Summers : How long was I gone?

  Spike : Hundred and forty-seven days, yesterday. Uh... hundred and forty-eight today. 'Cept today doesn't count, does it...? How long was it for you... where you were?

  Buffy Summers : Longer.

• Dawn Summers : [of Buffy's bloodied hands]  Um, I was gonna fix 'em... I don't know how they got like that.

  Spike : I do. Clawed her way out of a coffin, that's how. Isn't that right?

  Buffy Summers : Yeah... That's what I had to do.

  Spike : I've done it myself.

• Spike : Thank God. You scared me half to death. Or more to death. You- I could kill you!

  Dawn : Spike.

  Spike : I mean it. I could rip your head off one-handed and drink from your brain stem.

• Spike : You didn't tell me. You brought her back, and you didn't tell me.

  Xander Harris : Well, now you know.

  Spike : I worked beside you all summer.

  Xander Harris : We didn't tell you. It was just... We didn't, okay?
