Willow: “I see what you’re doing. You’re trying to get us to dust you.”
Spike: “Am not. I just don’t want pity from geeks more useless than I am.”
Willow: “We’re not useless. We help people. We fight the forces of evil.”
Spike: “BUFFY fights the forces of evil. You’re her groupies. She’d do just as well without you. Better, I’d wager, since she wouldn’t have to go about saving your hides all the time.”
Xander: “That is so not true. We’re part of the team. She needs us.”
Spike: “Or you’re just the same tenth grade losers you’ve always been, and she’s too much of a softy to cut you loose.”
Xander and Willow: *look upset and speechless*
Spike: *walks away and grins devilishly*
