Spike arrives in Sunnydale, alongside his slightly insane girlfriend Drusilla, who is very weak, after being attacked by an angry mob. He also comes to find and kill Drusilla's sire, Angel. "Our new Friend Spike 'Known as William the Bloody, earned his nickname by torturing his victims with railroad spikes.....' Ah, but here's some good news: he's barely 200, not even as old as Angel." (Giles, giving a reference to Spike, from the Watcher’s diaries in 'School Hard') Spike brags of how he has already managed to kill 2 slayers in his life. We discover that as a human, he was a poet.

Killing them" (School Hard) "Mmm. I hate being obvious. All fang-y and 'rrr!' Takes the mystery out" (Something Blue) "What's this? Sitting around watching the telly while there's evil a foot. That's not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass! What, can't go without your Buffy, is that it? Too chicken? Let's find her! She is the Chosen One after all. - Come on! Vampire! Grr! Nasty! Let's annihilate them. For justice- and for safety of puppies-and Christmas, right? Let's fight that evil! Let's kill something! Oh, come on!" (Doomed) Spike- Hey! White flag here. I quit. Buffy- Let me clear this up for you. We're mortal enemies. We don't get time-outs. Spike- You want to go around, pet, I'll have a gay old time of it. You want to stop Angel... we're gonna have to play this a bit differently. Buffy- What are you talking about? Spike- I'm talking about your ex, pet. I'm talking about putting him in the bloody ground. Spike- I told you. I want to stop Angel. I want to save the world. Buffy- Okay. You do remember that you're a vampire, right? Spike- We like to talk big. Vampires do. 'I'm going to destroy the world.' That's just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got... dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision. With a real... passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Goodbye, Piccadilly. Farewell, Leicester Bloody Square. You know what I'm saying? (The Becoming) Angelus- All right. Someone get the chainsaw. Spike- Now, now, don't let's lose our temper. Angelus- Keep out of it, sit 'n' spin. Spike- Look, you cut him up, you'll never get your answers. Angelus- Since when did you become so level-headed? Spike- Right about the time you became so pig-headed. You have your way with him, you'll never get to destroy the world. And I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet. There are other ways. (The Becoming) |
