    • At 30:43, the safety wires used to hold the people up when the platform falls are visible.
    • In the scene at the Bronze, Olaf points his hammer at the barmaid in front of him, we then cut to a close up of him and the same barmaid can be seen standing behind him.
    • In the Magic Shop when Buffy attacks the Troll after he loses his hammer, she is promptly knocked to the floor. As she hits the ground you can definately tell that Sarah Michelle Gellar was not the person that took the fall. You get a clear shot of the stunt double's face.
    • Olaf calls Anya 'Anyanka,' but he should only know her as Aud.
    • In the scene where Buffy and Dawn are talking in Buffy's room, Buffy is reading a magazine. A bit later, Buffy is holding a teddy bear which was seen sitting on her bed earlier. Through there were some quick cuts away, it doesn't really seem that she ever put the magazine down and reached for the bear.
    • After Willow makes the cash register disappear and then reappear, the bill that Anya pulls out of the register keeps moving from her right hand to her left and back again during each new shot.
    • Anya says that she has never driven before, yet in 'Graduation Day (1)' she tells Xander that her car is all packed and she is ready to leave Sunnydale.

    • Buffy: (Sees Spike crouched over a wounded woman) What are you doing?
      Spike: Making this woman more comfortable. I'm not sampling, I'll have you know. I mean, look at all these lovely, blood-covered people. I could, but not a taste for Spike, not a lick. I knew you wouldn't like it.
      Buffy: You want credit for not feeding off bleeding disaster victims?
      Spike: Well, yeah.
      Buffy: You're disgusting. (Walks off)
      Spike: What's it take?
    • Xander: So, how goes the slaying? Buffy: I killed something in a convent last night. Xander: In any other room, a frightening declaration. Here, a welcome distraction. Tell us all about the killing, Buff. Buffy: Pretty standard. Vampire staking. Ooh! But I met a Nun, and she let me try on her wimple. Xander: Okay, now we're back to frightening.
    • Willow: We can come by between classes! Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens ... but it's been pointed out to me that that's, y'know, insane. Tara: I said "quirky."
    • Olaf: You there. Do you know where there are babies? Spike: (Turns to Xander) What do you think? The Hospital? Xander: What? Shut up!
    • Willow: It's hard to be precise, though. Alternate universes don't stay put. Trying to send him to a specific place is sort of like... like... trying to hit a... puppy, by throwing a live bee at it. (off everyone's look) Which is a weird image, and you should all just forget it.
    • Anya: I am a human. And there are many humans who are stranger than me. Willow: Uh-huh, but unless I'm really wrong about crazy Larry down at the bus stop, he's probably not gonna turn Xander into a troll.
    • Olaf: Bring me stronger ale! And some plump succulent babies to eat!
    • Olaf: You do well to flee, townspeople. I will pillage your lands and dwellings. I will burn your crops and make merry with your younger, more attractive daughters.
    • Anya: Humans make the same mistakes over and over. I saw it when I was a vengeance demon. Some guy dumps a girl, she calls me, I exact vengeance, blah, blah, blah. The next year, same girl, different guy. I mean, after you smite a few of 'em, you start going, my goodness, young lady, maybe you're doing something wrong here too.
    • Anya: Willow's stealing. She's a burglar. Willow: (sarcastically) Right, the cunning, broad-daylight-in-front-of-everyone burglar.
    • Buffy: I trust these watchers about as far as you could throw them. Giles: Thank you very much.
    • Willow: (imitating Anya) I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services! Anya: Xander, she's pretending to be me!
    • Buffy: So, um... about being a nun... you know, um, with the whole abjuring the company of men? You know, how's that working for you? The... abjuring? Nun: Um... good. Buffy: Yeah, do you have to be, like, super-religious? Nun: Well, uh... Buffy: How's the food?
    • Willow: Anya, I have faith in you. There is no one you cannot piss off.
    • Giles: Um, Anya, while I completely trust you, uh, uh, to take care of the inventory and the money, um...dealing with people requires a certain, uh, finesse? Anya: I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!
    • Tara: I'm envious, Mr. Giles. A trip to England sounds so exciting and exotic... unless you're English.
    • Anya: Xander? If you ever decide to go, I want a warning. You know, big flashing red lights and one of those clocks that counts down like a bomb in a movie? And there's a whole bunch of colored wires and I'm not sure which is the right one to cut but I guess the green one and then at the last second, no, the red one, then click, it stops with three-tenths of a second left but then you don't leave. Like that, okay? Xander: Check. Big bomb clock.
    • Willow: I wish Buffy was here... (Buffy walks in) Willow: I wish I had a million dollars! ...Just checking.
    • Xander: I'm gonna run get Buffy. Or maybe you could fight him. Spike: Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.
    • Willow: Hello, gay now.

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • In the beginning of the episode Xander is talking to Anya about how sometimes he forgets how Riley is gone. Riley left only in just the previous episode yet the way Xander is speaking it seems that he has been gone for a while. While there is no standard for the amount of time that can have past between two consecutive episodes in a television series there is a possible reason for having done this other than not having or wanting to tell the story of what happens during the days immediately after Riley's departure. This episode aired three weeks after the episode where Riley left. To viewers it would probably seem like it had been a little while since Riley left so having Xander speak as if it had been a few weeks since he left probably helps to make the world of the show seem real.
    • A sign at the Magic Box reads "Shoplifters will be Transmogrified!"
    • The events of this episode caused the Bronze to re-open with a new look.
    • From this episode, Marc Blucas (Riley) is removed from the opening titles cast line-up.
    • Abraham Benrubi is most recognizable to TV viewers as Jerry the desk clerk on ER. He also played Larry Kubiak on Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Anya: It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land... or, you know, the world without shrimp. In the episode "Superstar" Anya first mentions the world without shrimp when talking about alternate realities.
    • Willow: And by the way, you weren't a demon when you turned Olaf into Lord of the Hammers, and you managed that. This is most likely a reference to the very successful Lord of the Dance show which debuted in Dublin on June 28, 1996. The Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that features the dancing of Michael Flatley and has a story based on ancient Irish folklore. Could also be a reference to The Lord of the Rings, novel by J.R.R. Tolkien and movie trilogy by Peter Jackson, featuring mythical creatures and an evil enemy.
    • Willow: I wish for one-million dollars.....
      In the first episode of Friends, Ross wishes to marry again, and Rachel appears in the coffee shop, dressed as a bride. Chandler then wishes for one-million dollars, just in case...
    • Buffy: (about her professor's spitting problem) It's like being at SeaWorld - 'the first five rows will get wet.'
      SeaWorld is a chain of amusement parks based around marine animals, located in Florida, Texas, California and Australia. They are probably most famous for their shows featuring performing dolphins and whales, where the first few rows of spectators are normally assured of getting wet.
    • Willow: (to Anya) The fish in the bowl, in The Cat in the Hat.
      The Cat in the Hat was published in 1957 by Theodore Geisel under his famous pen-name, Dr. Seuss. The rhymed tale was originally intended as an entertaining primer to help children learn to read, as the vocabulary of the book is basic and contains only around 200 words. In the story, the fish was the voice of conscience who told the visiting Cat to go away because he shouldn't be there while the children's mother was away.
    • Buffy: Oh! But I met a nun, and she let me try on her wimple!
      Part of the nun's uniform, which is known as a habit. The wimple is like a close fitting hood/veil combination that covers the entire head except the nun's face.
