Cut Spuffy scenes! (Script).Excerpt from shooting script:
BUFFY
Angel said… this amulet is meant to
be worn by a champion.
A beat, as he deflates. Then Buffy holds it out to him, and he understands her meaning. Slowly takes it.
Been called a lot of things in my
time…
BUFFY
I want you to be careful.
SPIKE
You’re talking to the wrong guy, love.
(feeling it)
This is powerful.
I will try again shortly 
I am upper management.
SPIKE
Right you are, Love. I havent changed, Not a lick.
He saunters forward, daring Buffy to hit him.
SPIKE
Not a slap, not a tickle, not one juicy bit. Im the same, baby, head to toe, the man you loved and hated, slept with and moaned over. And watching your face trying to figure me out was absolutely delicious.
Hes gotten close enough. Buffy backhands him with a closed fist, whipping his head sideways. And he comes right back.
SPIKE
Love the taste.
*Blah blah blah, Xander gets Buffy to go protect Nancy against her giant worm ex, blah*.
Buffy exits, Spike follows her.
SPIKE
Is that it!?! A little touchy feely and then youre off to the batpoles?
Anya, back in human face, watches Spike, appalled. Xander stands beside her. Spike saunters past, styling..
SPIKE
Well what the hell. I want to play too..
He grabs a drink off a nearby table without looking, downs it, grins at Anya - and rushes out, following Buffy.
SPIKE
Beautiful night..
~~~
I had to type that in
Also, I will never forgive them for cutting this.. Too epic :/ I will try to type in some more of these soon.Spikez_tart: No, I dont have that scene, I didnt even know it existed.. I really want to get my hands on it now, though

What is it with demons - do they come with soul detectors? Doc observed that Spike didn't have a soul right before he pushed him off the tower.

Veryyyy true. Its mostly just the evil ones who see it, though (?). Maybe its a "you-have-something-I-dont" kinda deal.


There totally SHOULD be a story behind that! (goes off muttering about plot bunnies)
I am upper management.

It's a bummer Joss took her concern out of those Chosen lines, though. Would've made the "I love you" a bit more believable and not as sudden.
Are we ever going to be able to get more of these? What a big effort and great resource you have - Any chance you would like to post your list over at Buffytube as well -

Oh I'm sorry! I completely forgot about this.. I'll post the rest that I have saved on my computer and then I'll go hunting for more
And sure, I'll post em at Buffytube 
BUFFY
And the principal.
GILES
What?
BUFFY
Oh, nothing much, just, he was in the
school basement with a shovel, acting
kind of evasive. And he's got a "too
charming to be real" thing going on.
I'm gonna look into it.
GILES
Well, that sounds very responsible of
you. Balances out the vampire-on-the-
loose issue.
BUFFY
Nothing's really changed, Giles.
Spike had a chip before, remember?
When The First made him kill and sire
those people?
GILES
We have no way of knowing if his chip
was functioning then. A new chip
might be able to restrain him should
The First attempt to activate him
again.
BUFFY
It doesn't matter. The girls aren't
in danger from him. He wouldn't let
that happen. I trust him.
GILES
Well, of course you trust Spike. He
has slaughtered thousands, and
therefore probably knows all about
how not to do it.
BUFFY
He has a soul now, Giles. That's
what's going to keep him from hurting
anyone. I'm going to trust that
before I trust some chip we already
know can go bad on him.
GILES
Buffy...
BUFFY
He can be a good man, Giles. I feel
it. But he's never going to get
there if we never give him a chance.
Giles hesitates, not sure if he wants to get into this conversation:
I want better for you.
(off her look)
Your feelings for him are coloring
your judgment. I hear it in your
voice. That way lies a future with
a great deal of pain. I don't want
that for you.
BUFFY
Giles, if you're saying there are
sparks between him and me, you're
wrong. Spike and I haven't-- things
are different since he came back.
Just look in his eyes and you'll see
he's changed. There's... there's a
person in there now.
GILES
I see what's happening. It doesn't
matter anymore if you're... if you're
physical with each other. There's a
connection there. You rely on him
and he relies on you. That's what's
affecting your judgement.
BUFFY
You think I'm losing sight of the big
picture. But I'm not. When Spike
had that chip in him it was like,
like having him in a muzzle or
something. It feels wrong. We can't
beat evil by doing evil. I know that.
Buffy turns to head out.
(called after)
I hope you're right. You're gambling
with a lot of lives.
BUFFY keeps moving, heads into the kitchen, pours coffee. (A new microwave, still in its box, sits on the counter.) Then:
(convincing herself)
My judgment is clear.
She drinks some coffee. Even more convincing:
Absolutely no sparks.
I was sure that stupid DB error was going to show up again.. Wee! 
POTENTIAL
INT. VAMP NEST - NIGHT
Buffy punches the vamp off her as the Potentials watch. Spike, unseen by the group, slowly steps back, away from the group - toward the door. Buffy keeps fighting until she's fought herself into position right next to the crypt door.
You're dead. So what do you know?
Right now, the only thing you know
for sure is, you've got me.
And with that, Buffy DROPS HER STAKE and vanishes, out the door and gone. The Potentials, dumbstruck, watch her go. As does the vamp.
The doors LOCK shut behind Buffy with an echoing metallic CLANG. Beat. The vamp looks at the Potentials. They cluster together, looking shit-scared.
And he ATTACKS.
EXT. VAMP NEST - NIGHT
Outside the crypt. Buffy joins Spike, who's been waiting outside. She pauses, hearing the sounds of a terrible fight coming from within the crypt. She hesitates, wanting to go back in. She places her hand on the crypt door's knob.
Spike places his hand atop hers, stopping Buffy from re- entering.
They stay, listening to the fighting sounds escalate.
Thank you so much for posting more of your "deleted scenes" we are starting a discussion over at Buffytube with the "dailies" deleted scenes and episodes, particularly season 6 - so these are a great resource for us.

Hi! I recently had a very boring day, everything was going wrong, and I was feeling down. To take my mind off things, I decided to look for a light-hearted game and stumbled upon plinko game online. At first, it seemed too simple—a ball falls down, bounces off pins, and that's it. But after a couple of minutes, I realized that it was precisely this simplicity that was so addictive. I sat and waited for each outcome, as if I were watching a little show. At first, I thought I would play once, but then I didn't notice how half an hour had passed. And you know, my mood really did improve. It might not seem like much, but a smile appeared on my face. I highly recommend trying it, especially when you want to relax a little and take your mind off your worries.
