    7 is Mr. Universe, in Serenity.

  2. ahab says:

    It ticks me off that I can never get these. Even when I’m here first, I can’t pick off an easy one. If you ever play me in Trivial Pursuit, keep giving me Entertainment questions and you’ll win.

  3. deblipp says:

    Damn, Tom, I thought that was a harder one.

    Ahab, I feel ya. The solution is to post your own quizzes, then you know them all.

  4. George says:

    You didn’t tell me this answer, but #8 has to be Willow Rosenberg in Buffy, no?

  5. I think Gunn said #3 in the episode where Angel had to bust into Wolfram and Hart and Gunn was the decoy with the generic vamp.

  6. deblipp says:

    George, not quite.

    Randal, that’s great, you not only get the quote, but the context is correct as well.

  7. norbizness says:

    2 sounds suspiciously like Eddie the Dane’s line in Miller’s Crossing:

    “If I tell me, how do I know you won’t kill me?”
    “Because if you told me and I killed you and you were lying I wouldn’t get to kill you *then*.”

    But it isn’t. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a Whedon product, unless Alien Resurrection counts, and somebody better hope to God it doesn’t.

  8. deblipp says:

    Norbizness, I assure you it isn’t Miller’s Crossing, although that’s one of my favorite movies.

    I’m pretty sure that Whedon disavows everything in Alien Resurrection, although I just recently found out he did an uncredited script polish on the first X-Men movie, and my favorite line in the movie is one he wrote:

    “I’m Wolverine”
    “Prove it”
    “You’re a dick.”

    Ha!

  9. Evn says:

    #5 is the “Once More With Feeling” episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

  10. Evn says:

    Oh, and Xander said it.

  11. Roberta says:

    It kills me how I got nothing.

  12. Jarred says:

    #4 Is spoken by Simon on Firefly. I believe it’s from the episode “Jaynetown.”

  13. Amy says:

    Oh, I love this.

    2 is Niska in “War Stories.”

    8 is Buffy in “Listening to Fear.”

    1 is Jonathon, and I’m fairly sure it’s in “Life Serial.”

  14. Amy says:

    Ah. I had to think for a minute but I believe I’ve got 6. It’s Fred in “Offspring.”

  15. TehipiteTom says:

    Iā€™m pretty sure that Whedon disavows everything in Alien Resurrection…

    Okay, here’s an unofficial trivia question: where in the Whedon canon is there textual support for this?

  16. deblipp says:

    Tom, you’re like the Devil.

  17. deblipp says:

    Amy, you’re like Supergeek. In fact, so much so that you forgot to name the shows, and just went straight for episode titles. Don’t worry, though, I’m crediting you. Just amused.

  18. TehipiteTom says:

    I’ll take that as a compliment. šŸ˜‰

  19. TehipiteTom says:

    And by the way, there really is a bit of dialogue I have in mind as the answer. I’m not just being evil.

    Not just.

  20. deblipp says:

    I’m thinking it’s one of those Warren-Jonathan-Andrew movie discussions, and I even vaguely recall it, but come up with a quote? Not on your life.

  21. TehipiteTom says:

    Not the Three Nemeseses.

    Also, paraphrase is perfectly acceptable.

  22. Amy says:

    Ha, you’re right…I did geek overload.

    I just heart Joss. šŸ™‚
