Now, then...

BUFFY: Is this the real life?
Wait, it's just Sunnydale
Swarming with demons
Perched on the edge of Hell.
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see...

SPIKE: I'm just a vampire, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, some Passions, some Ramones,
Anything that she does, doesn't really matter to me, to me.
Buffy, just staked a vamp,
Put a cross against his head; it won't hurt him, he's undead.
Buffy, love had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.

BUFFY: Giles, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Get the hell out of Dodge with Spike, Xander and Willow.

TARA: Willow, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, you're using magic all the time.
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Willow, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

BUFFY: I see a little silhouette of a vamp,
Is it Angel? Is it Spike? You know it could be Drusilla
Ramones and that jacket, Passions and that racket, very, very fright'ning me.
(And what's with those highlights?)

WILLOW: Galileo?

XANDER: Galileo!

GILES: Galileo, Galileo--figaro?

BUFFY: *Rolls eyes* Ohboy. Here we go.

SPIKE (as WILLIAM): I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.

XANDER: He's just a nasty, evil and soulless thing

ANYA: That's pretty harsh, from the guy that up and ditched me!

SPIKE (back to normal): Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?

DAWN: Spike, don't go! It would suck, so no.

BUFFY: Let him go!

DAWN: No way, what do you know? *Sticks out tongue*

BUFFY: Let him go!

DRUSILLA: He's my love. I will not let him go.

SPIKE: Let me go.

DAWN: We will not let you go.

BUFFY: We will not let you go.

SPIKE: Bloody women, let me go!

BUFFY, DAWN and DRUSILLA: No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!

XANDER: Oh mama mia, mama mia.

SPIKE: Mama mia, let me go.

GILES: The Watcher's Council has a pension put aside for me, for me, for meeeeeee!

SPIKE: (to BUFFY) So you think you can stake me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Oh, baby, you ain't just fighting Angel,
You've messed with Spike, and I'll glomp you right outta here.

XANDER: Nothing really matters,

ANYA:Anyone can see,

SPIKE: Nothing really matters,
(*BIG grins* In Season Eight I marry Buffy...)

BUFFY: Spike, you are so...naughty...

(They embrace and have a swell, completely gratuitous, Old Hollywood-style kissing moment.)
