- Quotes
Buffy Summers: So then, Kathy's like, "It's share time," and I'm like, "Oh, yeah? Share this."
[she punches the air a few times]
Oz: So either you hit her, or you did your wacky mime routine for her.
Buffy Summers: Well, I didn't do either, actually... but she deserved it, don't you think?
Oz: Nobody deserves mime, Buffy.
- Alternate versionsDuring FX syndicated reruns, subtitles were inexplicably deleted between the two demons. Because of this, one of the episodes major plot points is missing. Orignally, it was made clear that the second demon was Buffy's demon roommate's father. She ran away from her home dimension and he went to take her back, to her dismay. ("I'm 3000 years old! When are you going to stop treating me like I'm 900?")

Buffy finally spends time with her roommate who is absolutely impossible (although Buffy isn't all that patient). She immediately starts to cross over the line. Buffy, the Slayer, needs to get out at night, and a nosy roommate doesn't help that. As it turns out I was reminded of a Star Trek episode where a cocky young guy is powerful and causing all kinds of problems for Kirk and the Crew. They can't seem to control him, but ultimately, it turns out he is a kid and his cosmic parents are angry with him for being so troublesome and send him back into some teenage limbo. This is throwaway but it was fun watching Buffy slowly disintegrate. And, yes, she did leave her gum on the bedside table. Yuck.
