Dawn: Jeez! Lurk much?
Spike: Wasn't lurking - I was standing about. It's a whole different vibe.
tremble.wav - 194 K
Spike: Shouldn't you be tucked away in your beddy-bye, all warm and safe where nothing can eat you?
Dawn: Is that supposed to scare me?
Spike: Little tremble wouldn't hurt.
Dawn: Sorry, it's just - come on. I'm badder than you.
Spike: Are not.
teletubbies.wav - 183 K
Dawn: I'm -
Spike: What? Sneaking off to braid hair and watch Teletubbies with your mates?
Dawn: No. I'm breaking into the magic shop. To steal things.
Spike: Magic shop, eh? All number of beasties between here and there. Bet they'd really go for a little Red Riding Hood like you. That wouldn't set too well with big sister.

Dawn: You wanna come steal some stuff?
Spike: Yeah, all right.
burst.wav - 109 K
Dawn: You know how to do that or not?
Spike: Give us a sec. I usually just burst through doors - That's right. Who's bad now?
mission.wav - 110 K
Spike: Girl with a mission, eh? So what's the caper? Jewels? Ancient artifacts? Or just plain hard cash liberated from the till?
Dawn: A book.
Spike: All this for a book?
robetypes.wav - 194 K
Spike: Where'd he learn to write so bloody small? From a fruit fly?
Dawn: Wait - here' something. "Tarnis, twelfth century. One of the founders of the Monks of the Order of Dagon. Their sole purpose appears to have been as protectors of the Key."
Spike: Brown robe types are always protecting something. Only way they can justify giving up girls.
trollhammer.wav - 72 K
Spike: Hey. Troll hammer. - Didn't go with my stuff anyway.
lunatics.wav - 124 K
Dawn: "Only those outside reality can see the Key's true nature." Outside reality? What's that mean?
Spike: Second sight blokes, mostly. Or even just your run-o'-the-mill lunatics.
gold.wav - 72 K
Spike: What else does it say about this key? Is it made out of gold? Maybe we can hock it, split the take.
blabla.wav - 117 K
Spike: "The Monks possessed the ability to transform energy, bend reality..." Blah blah blah. Good Lord, Giles writes as dull as he talks, doesn't he?
sister.wav - 342 K
Spike: "They started work, but the Council has suggested to us that they were interrupted, presumably by Glory. They obviously did manage to accomplish the... taste? Accomplish the task. They had to be certain the Slayer would protect it with her life. So they sent the Key to her in human form... in the form of a sister."

Spike: Huh. I guess that's you, nibblet.
loop.wav - 252 K
Spike: Mornin', sunshine. If you've come 'round for eggs and sausage, I'm fresh out - Hey! Careful... These are wet!
Buffy: How could you let her find out like that? From books and papers? You hate me that much?
Spike: I was just along for the ride. Not like I knew she was mystical glowy key thing. Nobody keeps me in the bloody loop, do they?
newsflash.wav - 202 K
Spike: Oh, yeah, here it comes. Something goes wrong in your life, blame Spike. Newsflash, Blondie: If kid sis wants to grab a midnight stroll, she'll find a way, sooner or later. I just thought she'd be safer with the Big Bad looking over her shoulder.
honest.wav - 99 K
Spike: You didn't think you could keep the truth from her forever, did you? Maybe if *you* had been more honest with her in the first place, you wouldn't be trying to make yourself feel better with a round of Kick the Spike.
away.wav - 214 K
Buffy: Dawn?!
Spike: Yeah, that should do it.
Buffy: Shut up.
Spike: The nibblet scampered off to get away from you. She hears you bellowing she's gonna pack it in the opposite direction. Can't say I blame her.
herotypes.wav - 393 K
Spike: She probably would have skipped off anyway, even if she never found out. She's not just a blob of energy - she's also a fourteen-year-old hormone bomb. Which one's screwing her up more right now? Spin the bloody wheel. You'll find her, just in the nick of time. That's what you hero types do.
