Spuffy Quotes

"...he (Spike) probably fell in love with Buffy when he first saw her, but didn't admit it to himself because he was already in love with Dru..." -James Marsters, 2002

Big Hit: One million people would murder me if I didn't ask, what's it like kissing Sarah?
James Marsters: If I answer that truthfully, Freddie Prinze Jnr will kick my ass! With a baseball bat... and he would have good reason to do so.
Big Hit: Freddie's not like that!
James Marsters: What?! If I was dating Sarah, I would be like that. God! Sarah is an absolute dream. A lead of a TV series has the power to make the set a nightmare or heaven. Sarah has chosen to use her powers to make it heaven. She's always on time. She always knows her lines. She's always wonderful to work with. She's always fresh. She's always jovial. You know, nobody really wants to push her around but other than that she's a dream. Truthfully. And kissing her was no chore!

"Well, I always knew that if you were kissing Buffy or hitting Buffy, you'd be in the center of that show. So I played an attraction to her in from the beginning even if it wasn't written. But I don't think anyone noticed. But I have a sense that that whole Spike/Buffy thing is going to make me miserable for a while. Nobody has told me if I'm really in love with her or if I had a really good dream. I mean none of us are above a dream or two about Buffy you know." -James Marsters

"I think it's a tough sell for Buffy to go out with him (Spike). I mean, he's going to have to work very hard. And in the Joss Whedon [creator and executive producer of Buffy] universe, do you think he's going to succeed right away? Or is he going to be made to suffer? Oh delicious! It's just wonderful!" -James Marsters

"Later we're gonna have another good - oh, my god! - good excuse to have Sarah and I canoodling. Oh yeah!" -James Marsters

"No... I think that [Joss] is finally seeing the world through Spike's eyes, and this is his vicarious fantasy. I think that the fans have been calling for that from the very beginning. I think that [the writers] have been finding ways to get Sarah and I together in kind of a fantasy way, so we've got an alternate reality inflicted by Willow, in which we almost got married - that was 'Something Blue' - then we had a dream sequence earlier this season." -James Marsters

"After five years, there really is a space somewhere in my soul where Spike and Buffy really do live. There really is a Sunnydale inside me somewhere. So when Buffy really was dead and I really was Spike it wasn't hard at all to break down. It was crushing. That's the weird thing about acting, man. We're not insane, but we're paid to use our imaginations as fully as we can. So somewhere down inside my heart there is a Spike and a Buffy and he's very much hoping that he'll get a little bit more time with Buffy." -James Marsters

"He's a monster, but if he likes you, he'd be your monster, and he would protect you above all things. But he is a monster. I don't think women mind if he's a monster as long as he's their monster. Take note guys", he grins, "You can get away with anything as long as it's all for her!" - James Marsters

-So with David Boreanaz's Angel out of the picture, who's next?
"Joss doesn't like to tell us--with good reason," says Sarah, who admits she'd be the first to spill. OK, so Sarah won't dish love details, but she did reveal her fantasy guy: Spike! "When I mentioned the possibility of Spike and Buffy," says Sarah, "Joss was like, 'No more vampires!'" -SMG (Jan 2000, Teen Magazine)

"The thing about Buffy and Spike is they understand each other on a level that nobody else understands her. They've both lived a hundred lives and I think there's a connection there that we will see evolve over the next couple of years where she realizes that he really is someone that she can trust, someone that's a companion to her and someone that really understands her unlike anybody else." -Sarah Michelle Gellar

"James came in for School Hard, I remember that. It was second season, third or fourth episode. It was one of our longest days ever on the show. And I remember he wore these big boots and he wasn't that great at stunt fighting yet because he came from theater where everything was a little more real. I had these bruises up and down my arms from James' big boots. I still tease him about it to this day." - Sarah Michelle Gellar

TVGO: Will you pair him with a new special someone?
Whedon: I'm still trying to figure out how to bring him back to life. I don't think he's the kind of guy that would be like, "Well, that was a fun time with Buffy... " I don't think he feels a sense of resolve or resolution about the relationship. I think he feels that he was ready to sacrifice himself for her, and it was a beautiful thing, but... it wasn't like he's cured of loving Buffy...

"We had a few things in mind with season seven. One, everybody was tired of being depressed including us. Two, this was the last season. Three, lets get back to where we started. Let's go back to the beginning. Not the word, not the bang the real beginning. And the real beginning was girl power. The real beginning is what does it mean to be a slayer? And, not to feel guilty about the power, but having seen the dark side of it, and finding the light again. To explore the idea of the Slayer fully and to see a very grown up and romantic and confusing relationship that isn't about power, but actually genuinely beautiful between two people in the form of Buffy and Spike." -Joss Whedon

"Spike-. Buffy-. Spike provided Buffy with an emotional throughline that she wouldn't have had else, otherwise. I mean, um, Angel was gone. Angel was on his own show. She needed to have someone and making it her mortal enemy was an interesting way to go." -David Fury

"Spike is something special. Spike retained enough compassion. Some part of his soul was always there that allowed him to fall in love with Buffy where no vampire could." -David Fury

"But with Spike, I think that he is -- I think that what makes him so interesting as a character is that there's something different about him. There's something different. When Angel was a vampire, he was this Angelus. When Spike was a vampire, he was able to fall in love with a Slayer." -David Fury

"Being out in the cemetery in the middle of the night with James Marsters and Sarah, shooting them doing 'Rest in Peace' was kind of beautiful and surreal. We were in a real graveyard. And seeing James just cut loose in this great rock-and-roll song was really spectacular. I knew right there how special this was going to be because it was one of the most exciting musical moments I've seen on film." -David Fury (on the musical and Spike's "Rest in Peace")

"Some would say Angel and Buffy really had more of an idealized first love while Spike and Buffy have the more adult, messy, kind of love which is more realistic. That's right. It's not idealized and it's just so often ugly and yet when James Marsters does stuff where you look in his face and you go, 'Oh, my God, he loves her so much!' Ahh! It's just so wonderful." -Jane Espenson (BtVS writer)

"How do you follow-up her romance with Angel? I like the romance with Spike better. I'm more interested in the heat between those two characters because I felt Buffy and Angel had romantic love. Spike and Buffy have something so much more complicated that it's got that romance and all this other stuff on top of it which makes it so interesting for me." -Jane Espenson

"I've been interested in Principal Wood this year. But my number one has got to be the Buffy and Spike love story. I think that is just a gorgeous story." -Jane Espenson

"...I'd stand there with this sock hiding things waiting to shoot the scene and Sarah would come over and tug at the sock." -James Marsters

"In a lot of ways, Buffy's relationship with Spike is the most normal relationship she has ever had. There are no secrets between them. When she first met Angel, he kept his vampire identity a secret. And it wasn't until it was too late that she found out all the details of the spell. Parker posed as a nice guy, but was just looking for another notch on his bed post. Riley turned out to be part of an experiment and half brother to a cyborg monster. Each of these lovers turned into something Buffy definitely did not want. But Spike is what he appears to be. Buffy knows all his failings and if he has any surprises, they are positive ones. It's interesting that this is the hardest relationship for Buffy to commit to while at the same time being the most honest and open of her relationships (she deceives her friends, but she and Spike do not deceive each other)."

"Spike has earned Buffy's love in ways Angel couldn't contemplate. -Hercules T. Strong (Ain't It Cool News writer)

"...what we did want to say was that we could come back to a place of trust between these people. That man could redeem himself." Whedon said he thought that was "the best possible message to get out there." Whedon stated that "in time what went on with Spike and Buffy was very textured and complicated." The relationship, as it evolved in season seven, "has a romantic/sexual angle but not a physical one." -Joss Whedon, FilmForce interview

Spike is the person in her life right now..... What I basically told [James and Sarah] was, 'Play the romance, be proud of him, love him when you say you love him, love her when you say she doesn't love you. Forget about the crumbling world, for that period of time it doesn't exist.' -Joss Whedon, season 7 DVDs, commentary on Chosen

At the 2004 Halloween con, James Marsters said that what Spike wanted was to give Buffy a rose garden. And then he sort of bent over for a moment, his hands on his knees and when he came up, his eyes were full of tears, "because it would be alive."






EPISODE QUOTES

Something Blue
BUFFY: I think maybe we fought because we couldn't admit how we really felt about each other.


Crush
BUFFY: You're like a serial killer in prison!
SPIKE: Women marry them all the time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPIKE: You're all I bloody think about, dream about, you're in my gut... I'm drowning in you, Summers.


Dead Things
SPIKE: You always hurt... the one you love, pet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUFFY: You always hurt the one you love.


Seeing Red
SPIKE: You should have let him kill me.
BUFFY: I couldn't do that.
SPIKE: Why?
BUFFY: You know why.
SPIKE: Because you love me.
BUFFY: No. I don't.
SPIKE: Why do you keep lying to yourself?
BUFFY: How many times- (calmer) I have feelings for you. I do. But it's not love. I could never trust you enough for it to be love.
SPIKE: Trust is for old marrieds, Buffy. Great love is wild ... and passionate and dangerous. It burns and consumes.
BUFFY: Until there's nothing left. Love like that doesn't last.


Help
CASSIE to SPIKE: Someday she'll tell you.


Potential
AMANDA: Is it weird? We're mean to each other, and we like each other.

BUFFY: Well, it depends. Sometimes that's how people relate. Being mean to each other. Even mortal enemies? (increasingly emphatic) Then with the--- And that leads to no good, absolutely no good. And much confusion. A--and then it's over. Absolutely, seriously, definitely over. And that's confusing too. The over part. Which it is. Over! (catches herself, calms a bit) So, maybe.


First Date
BUFFY to WILLOW: Why does everyone in this house think I'm still in love with Spike?

SPIKE: I should move out. Leave town before it is time for me.
BUFFY: No, you have to stay.
SPIKE: You've got another demon fighter now.
BUFFY: That's not why I need you here.
SPIKE: Is that right? Why's that then?
BUFFY: 'Cuz I'm not ready for you to not be here.


Touched
SPIKE to BUFFY: I'm not asking you for anything. When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.


End of Days
SPIKE: I've never... been close... to anyone. Least of all, you. 'Til last night. All I did was... hold you, watch you sleep. And it was the best night of my life. So, yeah... I'm... terrified.
BUFFY: You don't have to be.
SPIKE: Were you there with me?
BUFFY: I was.


Chosen
BUFFY to SPIKE: I love you.

With tears in her eyes Buffy almost begs Spike to come, but Spike says "I mean it, I've gotta do this." Buffy then slowly takes Spike's hand in hers, interlacing their fingers together as flames spring up from their hands. Buffy continues to hold onto him as he looks at her at the verge of disbelief, seeing something in her eyes......


It's love


Poem by Vanessa
The minute you called out
I knew our time was coming
My hero, my champion
I felt our hearts burning

Reached out to you to know
If what I felt was true
My hero, my champion
Felt it just by touching you

Our romance just beginning
My hero, my champion

I know very well what you're trying to do
And all I can do is be truly proud of you
My hero, my champion
I really do love you

I have a cool thing to post now... I was waiting for the new thread!

I DIDN'T DO THIS IS WAS ashlee_999!!!

We all know how Spike drops to his knees when he has something important to convey. We know that Buffy can't maintain eye contact when Spike gets a little too serious for her. But has anyone ever noticed how much focus was put on their hands? This has been something I've been thinking about for quite a while.

Something Blue
To my knowledge (and I don't understand when they would have before, but) this is when they hold hands for the first time. At several points throughout the episode they hold hands- the pics I have below, walking through the halls of the dorm, Buffy dragging him through the cemetery. It's all very superficial (because duh, they're under a spell) but look how sweet it is, his hand caressing hers.


Fool For Love
I would have used a better cap for this, but apparently it doesn't exist (I looked). But it does exist in the show. When Spike grabs her wrist to prevent her from reaching for her weapon, it's a fake show of power, since he couldn't actually stop her from moving, if she really wanted to, but it is noteworthy to see that Buffy does stop when she feels his hand on hers.


Listening to Fear
Aside from the kiss in Intervention this is probably the most significant Spike/Buffy moment in season 5. Buffy, our little Slayer, the one who doesn't easily accept help from people outside of her circle of Scoobies, actually consents to Spike helping her off the floor of all things. Something that Buffy could easily do by herself, and yet, she accepts assistance from the one person she 'hates' the most.


Spiral
Buffy doesn't show much concern in what Spike did for her, but she does take the time to check on him- another stepping stone for her. Obviously her concern is for Giles, who was injured far worse than Spike, but it says a lot that she takes (even a little bit of) time to make sure Spike isn't more seriously injured.


After Life
One of the most tender gestures in the series. Buffy tends to shy away from everyone, but doesn't flinch when Spike takes her hands in his. She actually seems to take a moderate amount of comfort in it and relax in his presence. Showing the complete opposite reaction when her friends storm in moments later.


Once More, With Feeling
The wonderful spikeylover pointed out to me that I forgot about this moment. In Once More, With Feeling Spike and Buffy's hands are the only ones who actually have their hands entwined in the song. Subliminal message? Foreshadowing?


Dead Things
Yes, part of a dream sequence, but it does focus on their hands. It shows just how much she wants to trust Spike and maybe how much she wants Spike to be able to trust her in return.

And I almost forgot the moment in this show where Spike and Buffy can feel each other through the door. One of the most powerful moments in the season- the realization that they are complete when they're together. Well, Spike always knew that ;-)


Potential
I think this is where it really kicked Buffy in the gut- “I love this man.” I believe that she subconsciously knew it before then (more than likely around The Gift, in my opinion) but I think it really hit her in that moment. She was genuinely concerned for him, even after Spike insisted that he was okay. She was determined to check on him and the moment is one of the most tender and touching in the series.


First Date
I couldn't find a cap that showed what I wanted to, but if you've seen the show, you know it's there (and if you look really close, you can see them holding hands). The moment when Buffy checks on Spike, before she checks on her bleeding friend who had just been practically tortured. Looking at it from that perspective, you almost feel sorry for Xander, but let's face it- she was more worried about Spike, who'd just been knocked around a little ;-)


Touched
One of my personal favorite moments ever! And as I've stated before, if you haven't seen it, make sure you rewatch this show today. In the moment (in the cap below) you can see Buffy's thumb move back and forth over Spike's hand. One of the sweetest moments, in my opinion and it was unscripted, so I like to let my mind wander on that thought ;-)


Chosen (1)
Buffy picking her champion. One of the most poignant moments in the series. She didn't pick Angel, she didn't wear it herself, she didn't give it to Faith- she gave it to Spike. The man she loved- the man who had proved himself to her on more than one occasion. The gentle way she hands it to him, the hesitant (but sure) acceptance and the looks of pride and love. You have to love this scene.


Chosen (2)
And the most significant of all moments. The moment that made me realize just how much focus is put on their hands. Maybe all of those scenes were leading up to this one (we all know that Joss likes to plan in advance). The ultimate symbol of devotion, loyalty, dedication, affection, and love.


Thanks Ashlee!

There's a cut scene from Potential where Buffy starts to go back in after the girls after she locked them in the crypt. She places her hand on the knob and Spike places his over hers to stop her from entering, giving hjs support that she's making the right decision.

I'll bet! How long would it have taken up to add that bit in?

Well, they don't just cut one thing out. That little scene would be about 10 seconds, but add that to about 10 other little things that got snipped or shorted and you've got almost two minutes. That's two pages of dialogue or an action sequence or whatever. Buffy had a funny joke in Dead Things that got cut out, too. Well, I thought it was funny. It happened all throughout the series.

What joke?

I was watching the cut scenes on my Ice Princess dvd today (yes I know I'm obsessed) and there was a hillarious joke where a little girl with a costume runs up to Michelle's character and says 'Guess what i am?" and Michelle's character replies "a little snake?' and it was hillarious... the girl was actually going to be a lily... I guess you'll have to see it for yourself.

Sometimes I swear I have ADD

When Tara shows up to talk to Buffy at the DoubleMeat.

Tara rushes up.

TARA
Hey. Sorry I'm late.

BUFFY
Time has no meaning here. Gina, I'm
taking a break.

Buffy takes her hat off, starts to move off.

GINA
You already had one. Stealing from
the clock is stealing from the
register.

BUFFY
Then this'll be quite a heist.

She disappears into the back with Tara.
