The Other Anne

SPIKE: (speaking to Wood) Tell you a story. 'Bout a mother and a son. Like you, I loved my mum. So much so, I turned her into a vampire so we could be together forever. (beat) She said some nasty bits to me after I did that. Been weighing on me for quite some time...
He paces, thinking it through.
... But you helped me figure something out. You see, unlike you, I had a mother who loved me back. When I sired her, I set loose a demon and it tore into me... but that was the demon talking, not her. I realize that now. (pause) My mum loved me with all her heart. I was her world.

Lies My Parents Told Me (S7,Ep17)

It wasn't until I read the transcript of Lies My Parents Told Me (S7,Ep17) on Studiesinwords.de that I found out that William's mother was named Anne (played by Caroline Lagerfelt). It caught my attention because Buffy's full name is Elizabeth Anne Summers. Isn't it funny that Spike is in love with Buffy and she has the same name as his mother? I'm not 100% sure if he knows what Buffy's full name is, but her headstone did have Buffy Anne Summers engraved on it and he must have visited it at least once.
In Lies My Parents Told Me (S7,Ep17) we find out the history of the song that The First Evil uses to trigger Spike into becoming his plaything and doing his will, it's called Early One Morning. We find out that this is the song that William's (Spike when he was human) mother use to sing to him before he was turned and became a vampire. The First Evil (TFE) has been using it to trigger Spike and control his actions. We learn in Episode 17 that while Spike was under the control of TFE he killed and turned many people before Buffy stopped him and started to help him find out what was happening.
FULL SCENE
WOOD: You think "sorry" is gonna make everything right?
SPIKE: Wasn't talking to you.
Wood launches an attack on Spike, but this time he's having a hard time making contact as Spike deflects each blow. Spike swings around with a kick to Wood's head, dazing him.
SPIKE: (cont'd) I don't give a piss about your mum. She was a Slayer. I was a vampire.
Wood attacks, Spike hits him again.
SPIKE: (cont'd) That's the way the game's played.
WOOD: Game?!
Wood strikes back, again with little result. Spike unleashes a couple of punishing blows.
SPIKE: She knew what she was signing up for.
WOOD: I didn't sign up for it.
SPIKE: Well, that's the rub, in'it? (beat) You didn't sign up for it, and somehow that's my fault.
WOOD: You murdered her.
SPIKE: She sure loved you, didn't she? Enough to risk her life, night after night...
Wood throws punches that Spike dodges and deflects.
WOOD: You took my childhood... (punch) ...when you took her from me. (punch) She was all I had. She was my world.
SPIKE: You weren't hers. Doesn't it piss you off?
Wood hesitates, wincing at that. Then comes at Spike again.
WOOD: Shut up. You didn't know her.
Spike ducks a swing, then pummels Wood, who's beaten to his knees.
SPIKE: I know Slayers. No matter how many people they got around them, they
fight alone. Life of The Chosen One. Rest of us be damned. Your mum was no different.
A weary and beaten Wood looks at Spike, with desperate defiance.
WOOD: She... She loved me.
SPIKE: So she said, I expect. Not enough to quit, though, was it? Not enough to walk away. For you.
Wood lies broken and bloody on the floor, unable to respond.
ON SPIKE, after a moment, letting the air settle.

SPIKE: (cont'd) Tell you a story. 'Bout a mother and a son. Like you, I loved my mum. So much so, I turned her into a vampire so we could be together forever. (beat) She said some nasty bits to me after I did that. Been weighing on me for quite some time...
He paces, thinking it through.
SPIKE: (cont'd) But you helped me figure something out. You see, unlike you, I had a mother who loved me back. When I sired her, I set loose a demon and it tore into me... but that was the demon talking, not her. I realize that now. (pause) My mum loved me with all her heart. I was her world.

He walks over to the computer. Hits a key. "Early One Morning" begins to play again. Spike listens, relaxed. Unaffected.
SPIKE: (cont'd) Nice little song you got there...He listens a bit more, then hits a key. Stops the music.
SPIKE: (cont'd) Thanks, doc. Cured me after all.
He crosses over to Wood.
SPIKE: (cont'd) Got my own free will now. I'm not under The First, or anyone else's
influence anymore.
ON WOOD staring up at Spike looming over him.
SPIKE: (O.S.) Just wanted you to know that...
ON SPIKE as he MORPHS into VAMPFACE.
SPIKE: ...before I kill you.
He grabs Wood's shirt, yanks him up and bites into him and we...

The side door swings open and Spike steps out into the night, pulling on his coat. He moves to walk away, then hesitates as he hears:
BUFFY: (O.S.) Spike!
Buffy runs into frame, anxious. She sees his wounds, tries to touch his face, check him over.
BUFFY: Are you okay?
He pushes her hands away. Leave me be.
BUFFY: (cont'd) What happened?
He turns, pushes open the door behind him. It swings open to reveal Wood, battered and bloody, slumped against the wall. His head rolls as he regains consciousness. Though he's seen better days, he's clearly still alive.
BUFFY: (cont'd) (whispered) Oh my god...
SPIKE: I gave him a pass. Let him live. On account of the face that I killed his mother.
She looks at him, begins to figure it out.
SPIKE: (cont'd) But that's all he gets.
He turns, begins to walk away.
SPIKE: (cont'd) He so much as looks at me funny again... I'll kill him.
Buffy watches him go, then turns toward the garage. Buffy walks into the garage. Wood sees her, tries to get to his feet. She goes to his side to help him.
BUFFY: I lost my mom a couple years ago. I came home and found her dead on the
couch.
Wood wipes the blood from his mouth.
WOOD: (softly) I'm sorry.
BUFFY: I understand... what you tried to do. But she's dead. He killed her.
WOOD: She got herself killed.
BUFFY: And none of it matters. We're preparing to fight a war, and you're looking for revenge on a man who doesn't exist anymore.
WOOD: Don't delude yourself. That man still exists...
BUFFY: Spike's the strongest warrior I have, and we need him if we're going to get
through this alive. (then) If you try anything again, he's going to kill you, but more importantly, I'm going to let him.
Wood looks down -- he can't bring himself to meet her gaze.
BUFFY: (cont'd) I have a mission: to win this war, save the world. I don't have time
for your vendettas.
She turns her back on him, begins to walk away.
BUFFY: (cont'd) The mission's what matters.
And she leaves him. Alone.
