"You were there? Oh, please. If every vampire who said he was at the Crucifixion was actually there, it would've been like Woodstock. I was actually at Woodstock. That was a weird gig. I fed off a flower person and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move." --Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
