Buffy

Do you remember that demon that almost got out the night I died?

— Buffy the Vampire Slayer  ·  1997

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker asks whether the listener remembers a demon that nearly escaped on the night the speaker died. The question treats an eerie, dramatic near-disaster as a shared memory, casually raising both the speaker's death and the creature's almost-breakout as things both of them once lived through.
