"You hurt?"





"Get out."
"We need to talk."
"I really don't."
"This isn't just about you, as much you'd like it to be."
"You spoke. I listened. You leave."
"I'm sorry. Not that it matters now, but I needed you to know that."
"Why?"



"Because I care about you."
"Then you might want to try the not sleeping with my friends."
"That's not... I didn't go to Anya for that. I was looking for a spell."
"You were going to use a spell on me?"
"It wasn't for you. I wanted something - anything to make this feeling stop. I just wanted it to stop."




"You should have let him kill me."
"I couldn't."
"Why?"
"You know why."
"Because you love me."
"No. I don't."
"Why do you keep lying to yourself?"
"I'm not saying I don't have feelings for you. I do, but it's not love. I could never trust you enough for it to become that."
"Trust is for old marrieds, Buffy. Great love is wild and passionate and dangerous. It burns and consumes."
"Until there's nothing left. That kind of love doesn't last."





"I know you feel like I do. You don't have to hide it anymore."
"Spike…"
"Let yourself feel it…"
"Stop it…"
"You love me…"
"Don't…"



"Let it go... Let yourself love me…"
"Stop it... please... stop…"




"I know you felt it... When I was inside you…"
"Don't…"





"You're going to let me inside you…"
"Please…"
"You'll feel it again, Buffy…"
"Spike, stop…"



"I'll make you feel it…"
"STOP!"


"Ask me again why I could never love you."


"Oh god. Buffy... I didn't…"



"Because I stopped you. Something I should have done a long time ago."


"This what you call not seeing Spike anymore?"



"What did he do? Did he hurt you? Buffy?"
"He tried. He didn't…"
"Son of a bitch."


"Don't. Please, just... don't."



"Hey, I think we finally got something… What happened?"
"Nothing. What did you find out?"

I think the most jarring for me was this wicked feminist show abusing a woman for a male character to grow.

It makes it more disturbing how pretty the colors turned out, IMO.

I think that was one of the hardest scenes to watch from that show. The ony other one that stands out that clearly in my mind was seeing Joyce on the couch in "The Body." They are both deeply horrifying to me.

The Body was such an honest portrayal. Although I couldn't stand Joyce, so I was also kinda like "Yay, don't have to deal with her anymore!"
