BUFFY: (impatient) Spike, what are you doing?

SPIKE: Nothing. If I don't move, if I don't think, if I don't listen to the voices, then I won't hurt...much.

BUFFY: I need to ask you something.

SPIKE: Don't.

BUFFY: There's a girl, she's in danger, and she needs your help. Now. Time is running out. It's Friday, the day Cassie said she's going to die.

SPIKE: I can't. I can't hear you.

BUFFY: Is there something evil in the school? Down here, maybe. Spike, please, do you know anything?

SPIKE: Yes. There's evil. Down here. Right here. I'm a bad man. William is a baaad man. I hurt the girl.

(starts punching the wall)

BUFFY: (grabs his fist) Spike, stop it! What did you do?

SPIKE: I hurt you, Buffy, and I will pay. I am paying because I hurt the girl.

BUFFY: Spike. No. It's not me. It's a different girl, OK? Her name is Cassie Newton. Please, do you know anything specific?

(he shakes his head no, and she turns to go)

SPIKE: Don't?don't leave me. Stay here, and help me be quiet.

BUFFY: (turns to face him) I think it's worse when I'm here. (walks away)

SPIKE: Don't let him hurt the girl.
