'When the music stops'


"All this is a show. And when the music stops, the rest is silence."

I watched the movie again last night and I still don't understand what the music stopping has to do with her being able to resist Lothos. Can a fan please clarify for me?

My guess is that he hypnotizes her through his music. Remember when he paused to let her kill the one-armed vampire? I think that is what that meant...

There is a lot in the movie that seems to be incomplete. I think a number of plot and character developments (The sexual tension between Buffy and The Master, why The Master is waiting for Buffy to "develop" and the conversation between Merrick and The Master as Merrick is dying) are just a few of many. Your question may be another of these incomplete conversations, there's something that got left out of the movie. Also, I'll point out that "The rest is silence," are Hamlet's last words in Shakespeare's play.
