SPIKE: (coming through a wall) Well, aren't we the busy little beaver?
FRED: Hi, Spike.
SPIKE: I ah, don't suppose all this bugaboo's about yours ghostly.
FRED: What? No, not you. It's—
SPIKE: Werewolf girl. Right. Heard about that. Bloody shame about the poor little miss, but—
FRED: Spike, I'm sorry, but I'm kind of busy right now with the situation.
SPIKE: Hey, I'm a situation, remember? I'm a bloody phantom! And you and your serious girl spectacles were gonna help me with my bloody little problem.

SPIKE: Yeah. OK. Truth is I just don't want anyone else knowin' about my condition, right? Last thing I need is this getting back to Angel.
FRED: Spike, I appreciate your condition, but right now we have a more pressing priority. Like finding and helping this girl.
SPIKE: And me? I'm just left to fade into nothingness?
FRED: There's no need to be dramatic. Look, just try not to disappear, and we'll figure it out, eventually. This place? We have access to everything.
