** 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.

He is then asphyxiated by Giles, which kills them both.
* Dawn, listen to me, listen. I love you. I will always love you, this is the work I have to do. Tell Giles that... Tell Giles I figured it out... And I'm ok. And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now, you have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world, is to live in it. Be brave, live... for me.
** 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. She did this in order to save the world, as the opening of the dimension in question would have resulted in the deaths of every living creature on Earth.

I want to find out how they're doing. I want to know what's going on in their lives. [Andrew: You know what? They don't wanna talk to you - all those people you just mentioned.

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