Trivia | The movie playing at the Sunset Club is Dracula (1974), starring Jack Palance. See more » |
Goofs | When Buffy takes Drusilla hostage and Spike tells everybody to stop, the girl Spike was biting has no visible wound from being bitten, despite her hair being completely out of the way and not obstructing the view of her neck and shoulder area where Spike was biting her. There should have been some blood coming from the wound, since she wasn't completely exsanguinated. In fact, she even had enough blood left to maintain consciousness and stay on her feet after Spike let go of her. See more » |

[last lines]
Buffy Summers: Does it ever get easy? [kills a newly risen vampire] Rupert Giles: You mean life? Buffy Summers: Yeah. Does it get easy? Rupert Giles: What do you want me to say? Buffy Summers: Lie to me. Rupert Giles: 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, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and... everybody lives happily ever after. Buffy Summers: Liar. See more » |
