[Yes, a violent response certainly doesn't show you are totally sensitive and butt-hurt about a comment. Good job Spike.
Sam was expecting Spike to be more mature about all this but he was wrong. He won't make that mistake next time and he certainly isn't going to let it stop there. Once he gets enough of his breath back and the nausea down so he's not tasting bile in his throat, he'll retaliate. He snarls and lunges low, trying to catch Spike about his midsection to throw him down.]
