buffy is giving a lecture to all the potentioals "The First isn't impressed. It already knows us. It knows what we can do, and it's laughing. You want to surprise the enemy? Surprise yourselves.
Force yourself to do what can't be done, or else we are not an army-we're just a bunch of girls waiting to be picked off and buried.
(Spike stands and walks toward the door) Where are you going?"

"Out. Since I'm neither a girl, nor waiting.
All this speechifying doesn't really apply to me, does it?"(walks away)

(calling after him) "Fine. Take a cell phone. That way, if I need someone to get weepy or whaled on, I can call you."

(he turns to Buffy) "If you've got something to say-"

"Just said it. You keep holding back, you might as well walk out that door."

"Holding back? You're blind. I've been here, right in it-fighting, scrapping..."

"Since you got your soul back?"

"Well, as a matter of fact, I haven't quite been relishing the kill the way I used to."

"You were a better fighter then."

"I did this for you. The soul, the changes-it's what you wanted."

"What I want is the Spike that's dangerous. The Spike that tried to kill me when we met."

(angrily) "Oh, you don't know how close you are to bringing him out."

"I'm nowhere near him. "

"yeah you're no where near him cause he loves you and would never hurt you.
good bye!"
