 * Who: Jenny Calendar (Robia LaMorte)
 * Source: Episode 2.17 "Passion"
 * Note: Character has this exchange with a vampire named Angelus, who had once been cursed with a soul which caused him to see the error of his ways and fight on the side of good; however, a moment of "pure happiness" when he slept with his lover, Buffy, which his remorse for the murders he had committed had prevented him from achieving beforehand, caused him to lose his soul and revert to his evil ways. Jenny-who was a teacher-had been working on a spell to restore his soul, but he gets word of it and comes to destroy her work. She runs away but Angelus catches up with her and snaps her neck.

 * Who: Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar)
 * Source: Episode 5.22 "The Gift"
 * Note: This line is directed at Buffy's younger sister Dawn, before character leaps off a tower; she falls into a gateway to another dimension, closing it but dying in the process.

Andrew was not aware of this, however; the First Evil had manipulated him.

Note: Character is the head of the Watcher's Council, an organization that fought creatures from Hell, and is discussing fighting tactics with fellow members of the Council, regarding the threat of the First Evil, a creature that was threatening to take over the world as soon as it became powerful enough.
