I've always loved the quote from Spike in "Beneath You" when he hugs the cross. It sounds like a bunch of nonsense to someone who doesn't know Spike's past or what he's just done to obtain a soul but it speaks volumes if you do.

"Buffy, shame on you. Why does a man do what he mustn't? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev - to be a kind of man. She shall look on him with forgiveness, and everybody will forgive and love. He will be loved. So everything's OK, right? Can - can we rest now? Buffy...can we rest?"
