Question 1 of 20
1. "Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping. Waiting. And though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open it's jaws and howl. It speaks to us...guides us. Passion rules us all and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love. The clarity of hatred and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes, more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead." Hint


Question 2 of 20
2. "I've gotta say something 'cause I don't think I've made it clear. I'm in love with you. Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do, the way you think, the way you move. I get excited every time I'm about to see you. You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life. Like a man. I just thought you might wanna know." Hint


Question 3 of 20
3. "Strong is fighting. It's hard and it's painful and it's every day. It's what we have to do and we can do it together. But if you're too much of a coward for that then burn. If I can't convince you that you belong in this world, I don't know what can. But do not expect me to watch and don't expect me to mourn for you because..."

Answer: (One Word: Amends)
Question 4 of 20
4. "Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we? Helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are." Hint


Question 5 of 20
5. "And before I knew you, I was like, a completely different person. Not even a person really...and I had seen what love could do to people, and it was hurt and sadness. Alone was better. And then suddenly there was you. And you knew me, you saw me, and it was this...thing. You make me feel safe and warm. So I get it now. I finally get love." Hint


Question 6 of 20
6. "Basically I got as far as Oxnard and the engine fell out of my car, and that was literally. So I ended up washing dishes at the Fabulous Ladies Night Club for about a month and a half while I tried to pay for the repairs. No one really bothered me or even spoke to me until one night when one of the male strippers called in sick and no power on earth will make me tell you the rest of that story. Suffice to say, I traded my car in for one that wasn't entirely made of rust, came trundling back home to the arms of my loving parents, where everything was exactly as it was except I sleep in the basement and I have to pay rent. How's college?"

Answer: (Too easy!)
Question 7 of 20
7. "What's this? Sitting around watching the telly while there's evil still afoot? That's not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass. What? Can't go without your Buffy, is that it? Too chicken? Lets find her! She is the Chosen One after all. Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Lets annihilate them. For justice and...for the safety of puppies and Christmas right? Lets FIGHT that evil! Let's KILL something! Oh come ON!!!" Hint


Question 8 of 20
8. "What about me? I love you so much...and I tried to make you go away. I killed you and it didn't help. And I hate it. I hate that it's so hard...and that you can hurt me so much. I know everything that you did because you did it to me. God, I wish that I wished you dead. I don't. I can't." Hint


Question 9 of 20
9. "But whenever there was a problem or something creepy happened, you seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you or helped by you at one time or another. We're proud to say that the class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history. And we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class offers it's thanks and gives you this. It's from all of us and it has written here, Buffy Summers Class Protector."

Answer: (One Word)
Question 10 of 20
10. "You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains children, It's blood. Blood screamin' inside of you to work it's will. I may be love's bitch but at least I'm man enough to admit it." Hint


Question 11 of 20
11. "Every man faces this moment. Here. Now. Watching. Waiting for an unseen enemy that has no face. Nerve endings screaming in silence. Never knowing which thought might be your last." Hint


Question 12 of 20
12. "Yes. It's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies...and everyone lives happily ever after."

Answer: (One Word)
Question 13 of 20
13. "OK. Say that I help and you start a conversation. It goes great. You like Buffy, she likes you. You spend time together, feelings grow deeper, and one day, without even realising it, you find you're in love. Time stops and it feels like the whole world is made for you two and you two alone. Until one day, one of you leaves and rips the still beating heart from the other, who's now a broken, hollow, mockery of the human condition." Hint


Question 14 of 20
14. "Nobody knows who I am. It's like, nobody cares enough to find out. I mean, does anyone ever ask me what I want to do with my life? Or what my opinion is on stuff? Or what restaurant to order in from? No. Underline. Exclamation point. Exclamation point. Exclamation point. No one understands." Hint


Question 15 of 20
15. "You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle. And it's not just mine. Every single person down there is ignoring your pain because they're too busy with their own. The beautiful ones. The popular ones. The guys that pick on you. Everyone. If you could hear what they were feeling...the loneliness...the confusion. It looks quiet down there. It's not. It's deafening."

Answer: (One Word)
Question 16 of 20
16. "You misunderstand. Once the key is activated, it won't just open the gates to the beast's dimension. It's going to open all the gates. The walls separating realities will crumble. Dimensions will bleed into each other. Order will be overthrown and the universe will tumble into chaos. All dark. Forever." Hint


Question 17 of 20
17. "What kind of a life can you offer her? I don't see a lot of Sunday picnics in the offing. I see skulking in the shadows, hiding from the sun. She's a blossoming young girl and you want to keep her from the life she should have until it has passed her by. My God. I think that's a little selfish. Is that what you came back from hell for? Is that your greater purpose?" Hint


Question 18 of 20
18. "And the thing about the dance is you never get to stop. Every day you wake up it's the same bloody question that haunts you: Is today the day I die? Death is on your heels baby, and sooner or later it's gonna catch you. And part of you wants it...not only to stop the fear and uncertainty but because you're just a little bit in love with it. Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp. That look of peace. Part of you is desperate to know, what's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see. That's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. Every slayer has a death wish. Even you. The only reason you've lasted as long as you have is you've got ties to the world. Your mum, your brat kid sister, the Scoobies. Thay all tie you here but you're just putting off the inevitable. Sooner or later, you're gonna want it and the second, the second that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day. Here endeth the lesson. I just wonder if you'll like it as much as she did."

Answer: (One Word)
Question 19 of 20
19. "I do remember what I said. The promise to protect her. If I'd done that...even if I didn't make it, you wouldn't have had to jump. I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted of course but after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again. Do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways...Every night I save you." Hint


Question 20 of 20
20. "First day of kindergarten you cried 'cause you broke the yellow crayon and you were too afraid to tell anyone. You've come pretty far. Ending the world, not a terrific notion but the thing is yeah, I love you. I loved crayon-breaky Willow and I love scary veiny Willow. So if I'm goin' out, it's here. You wanna kill the world? You start with me, I've earned that."

1. "Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping. Waiting. And though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open it's jaws and howl. It speaks to us...guides us. Passion rules us all and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love. The clarity of hatred and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes, more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead."

Answer: Angelus

This is of course the ground breaking speech made by Angelus in the episode "Passion." This speech is made by means of a voice-over throughout the episode and it leads to the a climax where Angelus watches Buffy and Willow's reactions to Jenny's death. "The ecstasy of grief."
2. "I've gotta say something 'cause I don't think I've made it clear. I'm in love with you. Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do, the way you think, the way you move. I get excited every time I'm about to see you. You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life. Like a man. I just thought you might wanna know."

Answer: Xander

Xander is prompted to make this tear-jerking speech to Anya in "Into the Woods" by Buffy, who doubts his feelings for her.
3. "Strong is fighting. It's hard and it's painful and it's every day. It's what we have to do and we can do it together. But if you're too much of a coward for that then burn. If I can't convince you that you belong in this world, I don't know what can. But do not expect me to watch and don't expect me to mourn for you because..."

Answer: Buffy

This quote from "Amends" is said by Buffy in an attempt to convince Angel not to kill himself.
4. "Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we? Helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

Answer: Whistler

This is a voice-over during the episode "Becoming." It's played up to the point where Buffy finds Kendra's body. Whistler's speech is a prelude of sorts to the second part of "Becoming" where Buffy has to deal with what has happened.
5. "And before I knew you, I was like, a completely different person. Not even a person really...and I had seen what love could do to people, and it was hurt and sadness. Alone was better. And then suddenly there was you. And you knew me, you saw me, and it was this...thing. You make me feel safe and warm. So I get it now. I finally get love."

This is taken from the scene in "Hells Bells" where Anya is practising her vows for her marriage.
6. "Basically I got as far as Oxnard and the engine fell out of my car, and that was literally. So I ended up washing dishes at the Fabulous Ladies Night Club for about a month and a half while I tried to pay for the repairs.

Suffice to say, I traded my car in for one that wasn't entirely made of rust, came trundling back home to the arms of my loving parents, where everything was exactly as it was except I sleep in the basement and I have to pay rent. How's college?"

Answer: Xander

The wisened Xander tells the story of his summer to an enthralled Buffy in "The Freshman."
7. "What's this? Sitting around watching the telly while there's evil still afoot? That's not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass. What? Can't go without your Buffy, is that it? Too chicken? Lets find her! She is the Chosen One after all. Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Lets annihilate them. For justice and...for the safety of puppies and Christmas right? Lets FIGHT that evil! Let's KILL something! Oh come ON!!!"

Answer: Spike

This quote from "Doomed" takes place soon after Spike realises that he can still kill demons, excited by his new found knowledge, he is naturally eager to put it into action.
8. "What about me? I love you so much...and I tried to make you go away. I killed you and it didn't help. And I hate it. I hate that it's so hard...and that you can hurt me so much. I know everything that you did because you did it to me. God, I wish that I wished you dead. I don't. I can't."

Answer: Buffy

This quote is also from the scene in "Amends" where Buffy is trying to convince Angel that he belongs on Earth.
9. "But whenever there was a problem or something creepy happened, you seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you or helped by you at one time or another. We're proud to say that the class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history. And we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class offers it's thanks and gives you this. It's from all of us and it has written here, Buffy Summers Class Protector."

Answer: Jonathan

This touching speech is made by Jonathan during "The Prom." It is probable that Jonathan was chosen to make the speech because of the events in the episode "Earshot" where Buffy talked him out of suicide. She seems to make a habit of that.
10. "You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains children, It's blood. Blood screamin' inside of you to work it's will. I may be love's bitch but at least I'm man enough to admit it."

Answer: Spike

Spike made this speech to Buffy and Angel when he was drunk in "Lover's Walk." He was himself getting over his break up with Drusilla at this time. Buffy and Angel's new found "friendship" clearly irritated him.
11. "Every man faces this moment. Here. Now. Watching. Waiting for an unseen enemy that has no face. Nerve endings screaming in silence. Never knowing which thought might be your last."

Answer: Xander

Xander's profound pondering in "The Initiative" whilst on patrol in the graveyard, is met by an abrupt "Oh shut up" from Giles.
12. "Yes. It's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies...and everyone lives happily ever after."

Answer: Giles

Giles says this in response to Buffy's "Lie to me." This also being the name of the episode. After seeing some of the harsh realities of life, Buffy wants to be comforted.
13. "OK. Say that I help and you start a conversation. It goes great. You like Buffy, she likes you. You spend time together, feelings grow deeper, and one day, without even realising it, you find you're in love. Time stops and it feels like the whole world is made for you two and you two alone. Until one day, one of you leaves and rips the still beating heart from the other, who's now a broken, hollow, mockery of the human condition."

Answer: Willow

Willow says this to Riley in the episode "The Initiative" where he asks her to help him with Buffy. The obvious overtones of depression are caused by Oz's previous departure.
14. "Nobody knows who I am. It's like, nobody cares enough to find out. I mean, does anyone ever ask me what I want to do with my life? Or what my opinion is on stuff? Or what restaurant to order in from? No. Underline. Exclamation point. Exclamation point. Exclamation point. No one understands."

Answer: Dawn

This is Dawn's diary entry, made during "Real Me." She is frustrated as she believes that nobody cares about her because they are too preoccupied with her super hero sister.
15. "You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle. And it's not just mine. Every single person down there is ignoring your pain because they're too busy with their own. The beautiful ones. The popular ones. The guys that pick on you. Everyone. If you could hear what they were feeling...the loneliness...the confusion. It looks quiet down there. It's not. It's deafening."

Answer: Buffy

This is Buffy's speech from Earshot when she's trying to talk Jonathan out of the mass murder that she thinks he's planning.
16. "You misunderstand. Once the key is activated, it won't just open the gates to the beast's dimension. It's going to open all the gates. The walls separating realities will crumble. Dimensions will bleed into each other. Order will be overthrown and the universe will tumble into chaos. All dark. Forever."

Answer: Gregor

Gregor says this whilst held captive by Buffy in the episode, "Spiral." He is explaining to Buffy and Dawn what the essence of the Key is.
17. "What kind of a life can you offer her? I don't see a lot of Sunday picnics in the offing. I see skulking in the shadows, hiding from the sun. She's a blossoming young girl and you want to keep her from the life she should have until it has passed her by. My God. I think that's a little selfish. Is that what you came back from hell for? Is that your greater purpose?"

Answer: The Mayor

The Mayor says this during his confrontation with the scooby gang in "Choices." He is obviously trying to cause a rift between Buffy and Angel.
18. "And the thing about the dance is you never get to stop. Every day you wake up it's the same bloody question that haunts you: Is today the day I die? Death is on your heels baby, and sooner or later it's gonna catch you. And part of you wants it...not only to stop the fear and uncertainty but because you're just a little bit in love with it. Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp. That look of peace. Part of you is desperate to know, what's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see.

The only reason you've lasted as long as you have is you've got ties to the world. Your mum, your brat kid sister, the Scoobies. Thay all tie you here but you're just putting off the inevitable. Sooner or later, you're gonna want it and the second, the second that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day. Here endeth the lesson. I just wonder if you'll like it as much as she did."

Answer: spike

Spike says this in the episode, "Fool for Love," whilst he is telling Buffy of his victories over slayers and how he achieved them.
19. "I do remember what I said. The promise to protect her. If I'd done that...even if I didn't make it, you wouldn't have had to jump. I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted of course but after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again. Do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways...Every night I save you."

Answer: Spike

This tear-jerking speech was made by Spike in "Afterlife." He wanted Buffy to know that he had not forgotten his duty to her and that he was sorry that he didn't fulfill it.
20. "First day of kindergarten you cried 'cause you broke the yellow crayon and you were too afraid to tell anyone. You've come pretty far. Ending the world, not a terrific notion but the thing is yeah, I love you. I loved crayon-breaky Willow and I love scary veiny Willow. So if I'm goin' out, it's here. You wanna kill the world? You start with me, I've earned that."
