A line cut from the episode was revealed in the Watcher's Guide; Whistler tells Angel, "There are three kinds of people that no one understands: geniuses, madmen and guys that mumble."
 
Whistler ends his opening speech saying, "I'll show you what I mean." Whistler concludes the episode saying, "You'll see what I mean." (In the original airing of this episode on the WB, it is Angel who gives the opening speech and says "I'll show you what I mean.")
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Drusilla: That's what's been whispering to me. Shh.
Angelus: Oh, yeah. Don't worry, though. Soon it'll stop. Soon it'll scream.
 
Angelus: Acathla the demon came forth to swallow the world. He was killed by a virtious knight who pierced the demon's heart before he could draw a breath to preform the act. Acathla turned to stone, as demons somtimes do, and was buried where neither man nor demon would want to look. Unless, of course, they're putting up low-rent housing.
 
Angelus: My friends, we're about to make history... end.
