What's My Line?: Part 2
Writer: Marti Noxon
Director: David Semel
Aired: November 24, 1997.
Trivia:
- The "pink ranger" line has significance beyond being a standard Buffy pop-culture reference. 'Sarah Michelle Gellar' (av)'s stunt double, Sophia Crawford, used to play the pink ranger on "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers".
- Kendra's Watcher is named Sam Zabuto, with whom Giles is familiar but who he has never actually met. It is never stated where exactly Kendra comes from; wherever it is it's a small village where the calling of the Slayer is taken very seriously.
- Someone named Draemius has written at least six dull, footnote-laden volumes of lore used by the Watchers, and volume six contains information about the Order of Taraka.
- There is a Slayer Handbook, which Giles felt would be useless in regards to Buffy and so declined to give her a copy.
- Spice Williams, who plays Patrice the demon assassin policewoman, was not credited for some reason.
- Buffy and Xander make reference to Xander's ill-fated crush on Ms. French the biology teacher in "Teacher's Pet."
- There are forty-three churches in Sunnydale.
- Angel talks as though he had a romantic, or at least sexual, relationship with Drusilla in the past, although he might just be saying that to get a rise out of Spike.
- Seth Green said in an Ultimate TV chat that the line "I mock you with my monkey pants" was an idea of Alyson's; she had dreamt that Seth said that, and Joss decided to use it.
Goofs:
- Buffy is seen using a "steel" to sharpen her knife, while talking to Kendra. During the scene, Buffy puts the knife down and uses the steel to whittle her stake but after a quick cutaway, the knife is back in her hand in the next shot.
- At the Career Fair, when the "Police Woman" calls Buffy's name and Buffy holds up her right hand to acknowledge, she suddenly has a small white bandage covering the tip of her middle finger (it was not there a few seconds earlier when she was talking with Willow and writing her name on the Career Fair sign-up sheet). It remains through the subsequent scenes in the library and Willy's Place, then vanishes for the fight in the church.
- Immediately after Willy drops him in the sewer, Angel - who, being a vampire, need not breathe - is seen panting.
- Early in the episode when Spike brings Angel to Drusilla, he comments that all they need is that night's full moon. Later, Giles reveals that he has figured out what the ritual to restore Drusilla entails; the presence of her sire, Angel, and a new moon.
References:
- "Okay, Mary Kay..." Mary Kay is a cosmetics company that was started by Mary Kay Ash in 1963, and which has now grown into a multimillion dollar international corporation.
- "It's a little more complicated than that, John Wayne." John Wayne was the stage name of Marion Michael Morrison.
- "When this is over I'm thinking pineapple pizza and teen video movie fest. Possibly something from the Ringwald oeuvre." Molly Ringwald was a staple of the sorts of immensely popular teenage-oriented comedies.
- Spike refers to Buffy as "Rebecca of Sunnyhell Farm." Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was a hugely popular 1903 children's book by kindergarten teacher Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923), which told of the adventures of spunky little farm girl Rebecca Rowena Randall, sent from Sunnybrook Farm by her widowed mother to live with her aunt and uncle in town. It was turned into a play and later into at least three movies, including a 1917 silent version starring Mary Pickford and a hit 1938 version starring Shirley Temple.
Best quotes:
- Willow: There's a Slayer handbook?
Buffy: Wait. Handbook? What handbook? How come I don't have a handbook?
Willow: Is there a T-shirt, too? 'Cause that would be cool...
- Oz: Ooh, yeah, please don't. I don't do thanks. I get all red. Have to bail. It's not pretty.
- Oz: Oh, look, monkey. And he has a little hat, and little pants.
Willow: Yeah, I-I see.
Oz: The monkey's the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that?
Oz: You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen. So I'm wonderin', do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like is the hippo goin', "Hey man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity." And, you know, the monkey's just, "I mock you with my monkey pants!" And then there's a big coup in the zoo.
Willow: The monkey is French?
Oz: All monkeys are French. You didn't know that?
Willow: No.
- Buffy: You and bug people, Xander. What's up with that?
Xander: No, but this dude was completely different than praying mantis lady. He was a man *of* bugs. Not a man who was a bug.
- Willy the Snitch: What are ya gonna do with him, anyway?
Spike: I'm thinkin' maybe dinner and a movie. I don't want to rush into anything. I've been hurt, you know.
- Xander: A Slayer, huh? I knew this 'I'm the only one. I'm the only one' thing was just an attention-getter.
- Xander: Angel's our friend... except I don't like him.
- Buffy: You can attack me, you can send assassins after me, that's fine. But nobody messes with my boyfriend.
- Cordelia: You know what? I'm going. I'd rather be worm food than look at *your* pathetic face.
Xander: Then go. I'm not stopping ya.
Cordelia: I bet you wouldn't. I bet you'd let a girl go off to her doom all by herself.
Xander: Not just any girl. You're special.
