Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

But did he actually shoot her with the freeze ray or did he just sing to her while she wasn't moving? Which is a common musical tactic.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I don't know if we should hold metaphorical freeze-ray usage against him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Vortex - given the subject matter of the song, I'd say shooting her with the freeze ray was implied.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, now I remembered (iTunes doesn't like my country, so I have no way to watch it now) - he points at her while singing about his freeze ray, so I agree with tommyrot it was implied.

I read that as more, " If my freeze-ray were operational, I could freeze time until I could think of the perfect thing to say to Penny because when I see her I can't talk to her" - you know?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I wouldn't, but perhaps I'm not remembering the lyrics. It is a classic musical tradition to sing to your unrequited love while he/she is frozen in time.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I agree, sumi. Only by what I could see, the freeze ray doesn't freeze time, but it freeze the person in time (while Penny is "frozen", the other laundromat people are still in motion).
