Question to UnAms anyone-not-living-in-Australia-and-who-saw-the-NonAussie-version: at the very, very, very end of Buffy, did she say, "Dawny, we're going to Disneyland.", or did the Buffster just smile after Dawn's question then they cut to credits?
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

t edit D'oh! Just realised I phrased my original question incorrectly. I meant it for the US/UK/RestoftheWorld folks. Editing now. t /edit
Angus ... I know that's what we got but I'm wondering if that's what the rest of the world got as well. A comment on another site prompted this question.

We got the latter in the US, thank dog.

Bummer. I was hoping Joss had written that ... as a nod to Buffy and Willow's conversation during "What's My Line Pt2".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would have come across as cheesy, I think, jimi. It's what the Superbowl winners are supposed to say in the post-game interview.
At the very least, it would have broken the mood I took away.

It would have been utterly, utterly calamitous. It would have made a mockery of all 7 seasons of Buffy, even the bad ones. It's really impossible to exaggerate how shit it would have been.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Now if she'd said she was going to open an office supply warehouse with Giles in Vegas...
(No, actually I think the ending worked perfectly. But an office supply shoutout would've made me laugh.)

Is that where it comes from?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, it was a very clever Disney promotion. They'd pay huge dollars to the opposing quarterbacks and whoever won just had to remember to say their line into the camara while they were out celebrating on the field. Actually it wasn't just quarterbacks - it was other champions in other sports as well.
