All credit and thanks to Julz for the transcript

James comes sexy walking and then bounding onto the set and he and Rove greet and hug. Then he notices… the lollies. (greeeat big glass plate of yummy)

JAMES: Oh…

ROVE: It’s beans!

JAMES: Uh yeeeah, I’m a sugar addict to I’m gonna stuff my face right in there. I better stay away from that. (as they sit down) Are you expecting Ronald Regan? (sits down) I’m a good boy…

ROVE: So, how are you going?

JAMES: I’m going good! And what does that mean?

ROVE: “How are you going?”

JAMES: Yeah, man.

ROVE: How are you doing.

JAMES: Like, exactly! I’m used to “How you doin’? How you doin’?” How’re you going? I’m gone.
(laughs)

ROVE: How’re you going? Uh I’m walking right now…
(laughs)

Now, do you, uh… I’ve noticed obviously you’ve got the-

JAMES: I’m so nervous by the way.

ROVE: Why are you nervous!?

JAMES: Well because-

ROVE: You're a big-time Hollywood superstar!

(James makes of those “yeah right” pfft noises and smiles)

JAMES: Yeah, yeah… but I’m in Australia now, and that don’t cut it. (laughs) No, I uh…I watched your show and, and you have the coolest show, man. Like uh…

ROVE: I like you already.

JAMES: (laughs) F*** off… I, uh… uh, I’m gonna shut up, I’m kissing your ass. No, I watched your show, and you got a very funny show. You, uh… You’re… more funny than Letterman.
(audience “oooh”s. James look out to audience and at camera like “uh huh”)
You know! David’s gonna have me on now. (I couldn’t quite hear but I think that’s what he said) So, I’m already past it, it’s true.

ROVE: So, how is life for you post-Buffy? Post Angel?

JAMES: It’s so good.

ROVE: Is it?

JAMES: Yeah. Well, uh, the thing is, I kinda forgot that people watched the show. Both Angel and Buffy. I had a lot of fun making the show and I come from theater where the only people that are watching you are right there. And, uh, I kinda forgot that anyone else was watching. And so I’m going out into Hollywood, and I’m meeting people, you know (big important man voice) “Head of 20th Century” (makes “ahh” noise complete with insane wiggly tongue action) And they’re like, “We love your show! We love you! Come into our family”. And so it’s this really kinda beautiful time of my life where I’m just kinda sitting back and accepting all the love.

ROVE: Do you find you can blend in a little bit more without the bleached hair?

JAMES: A little bit. (laughs) A little bit. Uhh, I dunno man, I think I wear my face in a way on the street… I got it in New York, and it’s kinda like, “Hi” (makes cheekboney, bad-ass Spike face). Yeah, and all it is, is like I’m afraid you’re gonna attack me.
(laughs)
ROVE: Now-

JAMES: Yeah, so people get the Spike face too much.

ROVE: Oh well-

JAMES: And, and the hair doesn’t really matter, so what I find is, if I stay in one place, people really get me. But If I keep moving… I’m ok.

ROVE: Now I’ve noticed here, on your right arm you’ve got a little patch, little nicotine patch.

JAMES: Yeah baby. (pulls up sleeve)

ROVE: Oh! You’ve got-

(simultaneously)

JAMES: Two!

ROVE: Two!

JAMES: Two, baby! Yeah!

ROVE: You’re like Krusty the Clown when his whole body was covered with them! Now, I know you’re had trouble ‘cause you’ve tried to quit in the past and you had, like, nude scenes you had to do in Buffy, and there’s nowhere to put a patch.

JAMES: Yeah, that’s right. And that is a time you need that patch. (laughs)

ROVE: Yes indeed.

JAMES: Because I-I, I wear the- (sigh). If I don’t have the patch on I become a complete @#%$. I really do, I start to pick fights.

ROVE: Really, you do that!?

JAMES: Yeah, I’m drastically immature.

ROVE: Wow.

JAMES: “Who you-. You talkin’ to me?”. You know, “No, I didn’t notice you… before”. Umm, uh, so yeah, there were many times going ot the set of Buffy, I was trying to quit smoking and I would be arguing with the steering wheel, man. I was, god. And I’d be like, “get some cigarettes bro!” So yeah… I’ve been on the patch for five years.
(laughs)
And I have no intention of quitting.

ROVE: And, how’s it going for you?

JAMES: So good!

ROVE: Really?!

JAMES: Yeah! What I’m here to- (stops and realises the “how’re you going” joke Rove just re-hashed. He laughs.) You’re good. What I’m here to say, any body here who’s smoking cigarettes, here, just get on the patch! Because a cigarette will make you nauseous, and then jittery, because you get too much nicotine and then too little.

ROVE: Right.

JAMES: But the patch just, you know, makes it easy.

ROVE: It’s sweet.
(laughs)
Now another thing I know you’re addicted to, like my good self, is Pez. You collect Pez dispensers.

JAMES: God yeah, yeah.

ROVE: How cool are we?

JAMES: (laughs wickedly) No, I gotta say- (stops and looks at candy plate) I want that candy, man…

ROVE: Now, have you got the entire set, I believe you have a few missing ones?

JAMES: Man, I got- I have every Pez dispenser you can name, because I told my fans I like Pez, so I get a lotta Pez… But, interestingly enough, I got to Australia and nobody gave me Pez.

ROVE: That’s not right…

JAMES: No, it really is! It’s cool. It’s very cool.

ROVE: Why? You need Pez.

JAMES: No, I got all this home-made candy, I did! And I’m like, there’s these jars of stuff and I’m like, (REALLY good Aussie accent) “What part of the dingo did that come from?”
(laughs)
But here you taste it, and it’s pretty good.

ROVE: Now tell me, is there going to be – or, I have heard that, there’s going to be more Spike in the future. That there’s possibly another project involving Spike, tell us about this.

JAMES: Yeah, um, I hope so. Joss, it was interesting, Joss came up to me at the end of Angel.

ROVE: The creator of Buffy.

JAMES: Yes, Joss Whedon, who wrote and uh, along with David Greenwalt, developed both of Buffy and Angel, together. Umm, and it was weird because I was doing some, just basic work for the show, voice over stuff and filling in bits, and he came up to me and he’s like “Man, I really like your work and I’m hoping you’re still interested-“And he’s kissing my butt! And I’m like, “What are you doing Joss?” And I told him, I said, “Joss, stop it. 3 lines, 50 lines, lead role, whatever you want man, call me. I’m there for you, cuz frankly, you’re one of the best writers I’ve ever worked with”. And uh, he said that he wanted to do a Spike move – TV movie. But it’s also contingent upon other characters. He wants to do four TV movies, one of them is Spike. So, uh, I said ‘yes’ immediately, “I’m your bitch” (complete with hands surrendered “Dead Things”-style above head, may I add). Right, but I don’t know if the others signed off on it. So it may or may not happen, not because I didn’t sign off on it, but it may not really sell as a single project.

ROVE: Well, we’ll see. We look forward to seeing some more of you in the future, and it was an absolute pleasure talking to you tonight. James Marsters, ladies and gentlemen!

JAMES: It was really cool to meet you.
