I guess my name's not that important. I don't give a crap if anyone here knows who I am and what I do. Why I do it's the part that matters. I fight to protect people who can't do it for themselves, and to protect idiots who think they can do it but really don't have a single freaking clue. Everybody deserves a chance to live and be happy, don't they? It's my job to make sure that happens.
Oh, and uh -
If any of you really still care about the whole touchy-feely associating a story with a name thing, it's Jo.

Buffy. My name's Buffy -- yes, really.
Back home, I'm all … Chosen and protector-y. And not in a, you know, saving the world from bad fashion and overpriced soda kind of way. Vampires, demons -- I live on the mouth of Hell. And … okay, granted, most people in this universe probably don't actually know what Hell is. But, it's bad. Monsters are kinda par the course.
And I'm not gonna just stop getting my savior on just 'cause I took a wrong turn on some dimensional backroads and wound up here. What I do, what I live for, is to help people. Protect them. It's who I am. I'm the Slayer. And if those people happen to be the natives of some galaxy far, far away from my own instead of locally, then hey. I'll outsource.
These people deserve someone who'll keep them safe. Someone has to do it, and that will always be me. Even if they hate me for it

I'm Claire Bennet. Cheerleader, good skin, daughter of a senator. [There's a pointed look over in the direction of Nathan Petrelli, who is sitting right there, listening in to Claire's interview.]
But there's more to me than that.
[And now she's pulling out something sharp and she's scraping it up her arm as hard as she can, and there's what sounds like "Dammit, Claire!" coming from her father before the footage shakes and then abruptly ends.]
Okay, uh. Hi. Some of you probably already know me -- I'm Peter Petrelli. Yeah, the brother of everybody's favorite senator. [ There's a small roll of his eyes. ] You think listening to his speeches is hard, try living with him.
Kidding. See, back home, Nathan's always been like this. Wanting to make a difference, wanting to make change. Wanting to really make something of himself. To bring some justice and honesty to the profession ... which would really be a change. It's what he's always wanted, and I think now he's finally getting to do that.
[ And then there's a gap that I don't want to fill in because this is an interview and Lois should be here somewhere. But later on ... Peter laughs at first, shaking his head and looking away like he doesn't want to answer because Lois is ~embarrassing him.~ But, then he gets more serious. No, it's not like that. It's -- Look. When you become a nurse, back where I come from. There's this pledge. It's named after a woman named Florence Nightingale, and it's basically this.

My name is Cordelia Chase and you know, I never meant to get involved in all this. When I moved out of Sunnydale, I thought I had finally escaped all the monsters and vampires and weird things that go bump in the night. I was going to be an actress. [Pause.] Correction. I am going to be an actress
