Soul Purpose
Spike: Ah, yeah. Thanks, but not really my type, Harry. So be a good lad. Push off. . . . What are you gawkin at?
Lindsay: Guy like you. Whiling away his time at some cheesy downtown strip dive. Look like someone whos feeling kind a lost.
Spike: Is that right? Cause, funny, I thought I knew exactly where I was. Place called the Peppermint Stick. Prima ballerina up theres Sunshine, but Im fairly certain thats not her real name.
Lindsay: Hey. Spike. Get any interesting mail lately?
Spike: Just who the bloody hell are you, anyway?
Lindsay: Your new best friend.
Wes: Were talking about an evil warlock here. The longer we wait the more powerful he becomes.
Gunn: I dont plan on waiting.
Wes: Really? What is your plan?
Gunn: We open a can of Machiavelli on his ass.
Harmony: Its Machabelli. And, son? It doesnt come in a can.
Angel: So are we doing this because its right or because its cost effective?
Gunn: Ah, well. A little of both actually.
Wes: Yes, oddly once again we find ourselves in a bit of a grey
Angel: DONT!
Wes: area.
Angel: say that.
Lindsay: Look. Im just a guy, a nobody, a drifter. I was minding my own business and then one day WHAM! I started having these visions.
Spike: Visions?
Lindsay: Yeah. Like brain pictures but they hurt. Like when you eat ice cream too fast.
Alley Chick: Thank you, thank you. That guy was going to kill me.
Spike: Well what do you expect? Out alone in this neighborhood. Got half a mind to kill you myself, you half-wit.
Alley Chick: What?!?
Spike: I mean, honestly, what kind of retard wears heels like that in a dark alley? Take two steps, break your bloody ankle.
Alley Chick: I was just trying to get home.
Spike: Take a cab, you moron. And on the way, if a stranger offers you candy, dont get in the van! Stupid cow.
Lindsay: You just saved a girls life. Its nothing to laugh off. Though you could try being a bit nicer next time, you almost made her cry.
Spike: Next time?
Wes: Harmony? I need you to run these to Accounting. Tell them its about the warlock situation.
Harmony: Im not allowed to talk to Accounting without Angels approval. I *accidentally* authorized a few Bath of the Month subscriptions. On accident.
Harmony: Any business with the senior partners, Im supposed to tell Angel immediately.
Wes: Ill take care of it, Harmony.
Harmony: Also, any time something comes in with runes on it, Im supposed to tell Angel immediately. And, not try and read the runes myself. Cause that can cause a fire.

Fred: Angel? You look terrible.
Angel: Fred? I think somethings wrong.
Fred: Ok. Ok, dont worry. I know what to do. [snaps on a pair of doctors examination gloves] Lets take a look under the hood.
Angel: What? Fred? What are you doing?
Fred: Its ok.
Angel: [as Fred starts to make an incision in Angels chest] Please! Ah, ah! Ow!
Fred: Huh. There. That wasnt so bad, was it? Ok, lets get these out of the way. . . . Theres your liver. . . . Theres your kidneys. . . .Dont worry. Youre a vampire. You dont need this stuff anyway. Probably should have had it removed a long time ago. Oh! Ah! Theres your heart. Hey! Whaddaya know? It *is* a dried up little walnut. So far, so good. Lets see. [pulls a string of pearls out of Angels chest and puts them on]. . . Raisins [and eats them]. . . . [pulls a bent up, rusted license plate out of Angels chest] Hmmm. Came up the Gulf Stream, huh? Hang on. [pulls a goldfish bowl out of Angels chest] Theres your soul! Ooh! Were gonna have to flush this. [hands the bowl to a bear] Thank you, bear.
Gunn: You guys are gonna wanna see this. Been getting reports of a vigilante prowling the streets last night. A vampire, apparently.
Wes: Angel never left his penthouse. [reads the report] Vigilante reportedly killed two vampires at a gas station and then asked the women he saved if theyd like to get a bottle of hooch and listen to some Sex Pistols records with him.
Fred: Are we sure Angels just tired and not, um, crazy?
Spike: You call that a bed?
Lindsay: Well its not like youre going to be sharing it with anyone any time soon.
(One of Angels dreams)
Gunn: And now, its time for your reward.
Wes: Yes! Your reward!
Spike: But I didnt do this for a reward.
Gunn: Well, thats why youre getting one.
Wes: After all, anyone who saves the universe from eternal bloodshed, horror, and misery deserves to get what theyve always wanted.
Fred: Deserves to become a real boy.
Blue Fairy: And so you shall.
Spike: My heart! Its, its beating again! Listen!
Fred: Youre human, Spike! Youre alive!
Gunn: Oooh! I wanna hear!
Eve: Fine. Lets talk more. Hows our blonde crusader? Is he buying into it?
Lindsay: So far. I mean he hasnt sewn a big, red S on his chest yet, but hes getting there.
Fred: Hey! Did you talk to Spike?
Wes: We did.
Fred: What did he say?
Gunn: You know, stuff.
Fred: Like what?
Wes: Apparently were not good enough for him.
Gunn: Thinks we sold out.
Fred: We didnt sell out. Were changing the system from within.
Gunn: You know, when you say it out loud it sounds really naive.
Fred: Hey, Harmony. Um, any word from Angel?
Harmony: Havent heard a peep.
Fred: Maybe we should call him. Check in?
Harmony: Act like we care? Good plan.
Lindsay: Are you this prickly with all your friends?
Spike: Im soft on the inside.
[Spike rips the sulventh parasite off Angels abdomen and throws it against a wall.]
Spike: Thatll be a bitch of a clean-up.
Angel: Spike.
Spike: No need to thank me. Just helping the helpless.
