  • Willow had some rhyming fun in this line cut due to length:
    "I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact, I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll."

  • Spike's interview began with more talking:
    Lydia: You can't hurt anyone?
    Spike: That's right.
    Lydia: But you are a vampire.
    Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.
