5.16 - Shells
ILLYRIA: "A warrior. I was beginning to wonder if this world was void of your kind."
SPIKE: "Plenty of us to go 'round, luv."
ILLYRIA: "Two half-breeds and a band of primitives. Is this all that challenges me now?"
~Spike & Illyria's first exchange

5.18 - Origin
ILLYRIA: "You break so easily." (Spike shakes his head and gets to his feet) "Why do you bother getting back up?"
SPIKE: "Right. We need to set some ground rules. First off, no more punching me in the face. Secondly, when I punch you in the face, you tell me how you feel so I can write that down on my clipboard. Third-no touching my clipboard. Fourth-"
ILLYRIA: "I enjoy hurting you."
SPIKE: "Well, we're gonna have to fix that, 'cause-"
(Illyria kicks Spike in the face.)
~Spike 'testing' Illyria's abilities

ILLYRIA: "I've been hitting the half-breed. He makes noise."
SPIKE: "We're off to a bit of a rough start, but don't worry. I'll break her."
~Oh, don't we all want to see that...

SPIKE: "Oh, old broody-pants got you wound up, eh? Keep in mind, he can't get laid without maybe going crazy. Makes it funny."
ILLYRIA: "In my time, a leader would punish your insolence with death."
WESLEY: "We're not being insolent, Illyria."
SPIKE: "I am. "
~AtS 5.18 'Origin'

(Spike is thrown through the training room doors. His clipboard is thrown after him.)
SPIKE: "You filthy harlot! I'm gonna tear your neck out!"
(charges back into the training room intently)
~It must be love. ~_^

SPIKE: "Glad you asked. So far, I've established that she can hit like a Mack truck, selectively alter the flow of time, and, uh...possibly talk to plants.
ILLYRIA: "I'd like to keep Spike as my pet."
~Wouldn't we all, sweetheart...

ILLYRIA: "Spike is resting."
~Anyone else find dirty connotations in this?

5.19 - Time Bomb
SPIKE: "Ooh! All right, grandma. Give ya that. Good one."
(Spike and Illyria exchange blows.)
ILLYRIA: "This shell...you had affection for it, for Fred."
SPIKE: "Tons. Loved the bird."
ILLYRIA: "Yet you strike at her form without sentiment."
SPIKE: "You ain't her. I can see it. Lord knows I can smell it. And I got no problem hitting it." (dodges two blows and hits Illyria)
ILLYRIA: "You're adapting."
SPIKE: "We do that."
ILLYRIA: "Adaptation is compromise."
SPIKE: "It's called learning. But then I guess you know everything there is to know."
ILLYRIA: "When the world met me, it shuddered, groaned. It knelt at my feet."
SPIKE: "Dear Penthouse, I don't normally write letters like this, but-"(Illyria punches him in the face, knocking him back a few steps) "Oh, ho ho!"
ILLYRIA: "Illyria was all they needed to know."
SPIKE: "Then came the Internet."
ILLYRIA: "You have nothing. Your kind has pulled this domain apart. Each of you has snatched a tiny piece of it. Even those with the mightiest hoards are paupers."
SPIKE: "The one who dies with the most toys wins, eh?"
ILLYRIA: "To never die... and to conquer all, that is winning."
(Illyria uses time warp so halt Spike mid-air.)
SPIKE: "Now that's cheating."
~Spike, Illyria, and philosophy

ILLYRIA: "You may go."
SPIKE: "Yeah, great. Thanks so much."
~AtS 5.19 'Time Bomb'

SPIKE: "That time-stop thing is a royal bitch, but I'm starting to suss out her million-year-old moves. Cheeky mix. Little Tae Kwon-Do, little Brazilian Jiujitsu, ancestrally speaking."
~Yes, Brazilian Jiujitsu does involve wrestling about on the floor intimately together...

SPIKE: "That's right, little Shiva. Reckon you'll think twice next time."
~AtS 5.19 'Time Bomb'

HAMILTON: "Illyria destroyed eleven torture units before she found your man. Two troop carriers, an ice cream truck, and eight beautifully maintained lawns."
~Does this not sound like Spike's dream woman?

ILLYRIA: "I slew the white-haired one first."
~You always slay the one you love. ~_^

ILLYRIA: "You ask me to allow you to murder me."
SPIKE: "It's not murder if you say yes."
~AtS 5.19 'Time Bomb'

ILLYRIA: "Touch me and die, vermin."
SPIKE: "Not a very dramatic difference, really."
~Illyria and Spike after Illyria's been stripped of her powers

5.21 - Power Play
(Illyria walks down the hallway, and no one so much as looks at her as she passes. As she continues down the hall, Spike addresses her while waiting outside an office.)
SPIKE: "Like you're not even there. World trembled before your feet once. Now... padding around a place you don't want to be in, and the rabble don't even give you so much as a polite yawn."
ILLYRIA: "Do not presume I require any creature's attention."
SPIKE: "Wouldn't dream of it, Blue. Still...you can't enjoy haunting this place. Less than what you were, not knowing what to do with yourself. Believe me, I've been there."
ILLYRIA: "And what do you know of it?"
SPIKE: "Long and fascinating tale. Ghost story, in fact. Short of it is... take my advice. Get out once in a while. Before you go bats."
ILLYRIA: "Out?"
SPIKE: "Out. Outside. That place just on the other side of the window."
ILLYRIA (turns to walk away): "I've grown wary of this world since my powers were depleted. Strange... though I've been made more human, this place remains disconcerting."
SPIKE (following her): "Yeah, well, I'm afraid that never goes away. Anyhow, I thought Wesley was giving you a primer on all things human."
ILLYRIA: "He and I are no longer having intercourse."
SPIKE: "Y-ah. You wh-what?"
ILLYRIA: "He has ceased communication with me."
SPIKE: "Oh! Oh. Communi-"
ILLYRIA: "My recent reversion to the Burkle persona disturbed him. And he will not tell me why."
SPIKE: "You don't know? You may not think you're as powerful as you were, Highness, but looking like Fred, for some of us... it's the most devastating power you have."
~Spike and Illyria chat, Spike has a dirty mind, and did I sense a wee moment of jealousy there? ~_^

SPIKE: "Listen, you need some Boretz killing done, I'll have a go. I haven't had a decent tussle since the blue meanie and I stopped sparring."
~For more info on 'blue meanies', watch 'The Yellow Submarine'...

ILLYRIA: "He showed no regard for my presence."
SPIKE: "Not that you require any creature's attention. (Illyria glares) Hey, wanna go find something to hit?"
~Spike makes his oh-so-suave more

(Spike and Illyria walk through an abandoned amusement park at night.)
SPIKE: "See? This isn't so bad now. Little field trip out in the... well, what passes in this city for fresh air. All we need now is to bag ourselves a Boretz demon, we got ourselves a perfect date."
~First date!

ILLYRIA: "Angel does not think the casualties of this creature are important enough to avenge."
SPIKE: "Yeah. I think corporate living's made him lose his love for the hunt. No worries. More for me then."
ILLYRIA: "It does not serve his interest."
SPIKE: "What are you on about?"
ILLYRIA: "I've seen this before with many rulers. Your leader has been corrupted."
SPIKE: "Hey, hang on. In the first place, Angel's not my leader. In the second, what the bloody hell do you mean corrupted?"
ILLYRIA: "It always begins the same. A ruler turns a blind eye to the dealings of battles from which he cannot gain... and a deaf ear to the counsel of those closest to him. As his strength increases, so does the separation between he and his follow-"
SPIKE: "Shh." (looks around) "You smell that?"
ILLYRIA: "The odors of everything in this world of men are equally repugnant to me."
SPIKE: "Bloody helpful. You're wrong about Angel. Not that I don't think the sod could end up being a megalomaniacal bastard. It's just that if he did... I'd know it. I'd feel it."
ILLYRIA: "You'll have proof soon enough. A corrupted ruler on such a path sees treachery and betrayal all around him. He cannot suffer intimates and will eventually turn against them."
SPIKE: "Guess I don't have to worry about that, 'cause Angel and me have never been intimate. Except that one..."
ILLYRIA: "Mark me. He will murder one of you."
~Spike and Illyria discuss politics

(The Boretz demon jumps down on them and flings Spike into the power junction box. Illyria attacks the Boretz as Spike get to his feet.)
SPIKE: "Stay away from its mouth! It's bite's poisonous. Go for its knees. I think there's a weak spot-"
(Illyria kicks the demon forcefully through the large wooden supports for a roller-coaster.)
SPIKE: "OK. Yeah! That might do it."
~Spike, Illyria, and a little rough and tumble

SPIKE: "I'm not missing the fireworks. Hey, Illyria, you don't care about any of this nonsense, do you?"
ILLYRIA: "The intricacies of your fates are meaningless."
SPIKE: "Well and good. You mind watching over our friend Drogyn? Aw, come on. New place'll do you good. It's nice and cozy. Help yourself to some beer in the fridge. Switch on the telly if you get bored." (hands her video game controls) "And, uh, feel free to play a little Crash Bandicoot. Give you lot something to pass the time."
ILLYRIA (looks at controls, confused): "Crash Bandicoot?"
~Spike teaches Illyria about video games
