The important thing to remember, Spike, is that the Slayer’s not the priority.
Sunnydale’s all about Drusilla, or Angelus and Dru to be more exact, though if you’ve any sense you’ll get shot of Angelus quick as once you’ve drained him to save her. He won’t add much to the gaiety of nations, from your all-too-clear memories of him.
Killing Slayers may be your trademark, and swaggeringly flattering to you and your ego, if you’re being honest, but this one’s not the point. She’s a side issue.
Sure, if you happen to identify a strategic need to off her, you’ll get right on that. In fact, you could just manufacture a strategic need and have at it from the get-go, like you know you want to...
Yeah. In fact... Killing the Slayer. Mission critical, isn’t it? Only makes sense that you clear the field before you go for the big plan.
In fact, you can’t even think about how to get to Angelus while the Slayer’s cluttering up the place.
Slayer first. Drusilla after.
That’s your priorities, right there. Glad we’re clear on that.
You know you’ve been watching her since you stepped in here? And that was half an hour ago.
Priorities, isn’t it?
