08:12well that's good isn't it
08:20yeah
08:33so were you like living in a box or what well it's a long story
08:39so skip the heartwarming stuff about kindly old people and saving the farm and get right to the
08:44dirt perhaps buff you could use a little time to adjust before we grill her on her summer
08:50activities what he said fair enough in fact you can leave this flame dust while you settle in
08:58we got your cover i noticed you guys seem down with the sledge all tricked out with your walkies
09:04and everything yeah but the outfits suck this whole rainbow thing is so over i'm thinking
09:11more sporty like hill figure maybe still we were getting good we dusted nine out of ten
09:18six out of ten whatever we were kicking a little undead booty well thank you for the offer but
09:24i think i just want to get back to my normal routine you know school slaying
09:28kid stuff in fact i'm jonesing for a little brainless fun what are you doing tomorrow
09:34well i would but um kind of tied up you wish
09:44well um tomorrow i oh come on friends don't let friends browse alone okay i had some school work
09:53but i can change my plans as for school buffy uh you know you'll have to talk to principal
10:01on it mom's making an appointment with his ugliness i know she can break him
10:10absolutely not under no circumstances but you can't keep her out of school you don't have
10:17the right i have not only the right but also nearly physical sensation of pleasure at the
10:23thought of keeping her out of school i describe myself as tingly buffy was cleared of all those
10:30charges yes and while she may live up to the not a murderer requirement for enrollment
10:37she is a troublemaker destructive to school property and the occasional student
10:43and her grade point average is enough
10:48i'm sorry another tingle moment i don't see how you can be so cavalier about a young girl's entire
10:55future i'm quite sure that a girl with the talents and abilities of buffy will land on her
11:00feet in fact i noticed as i came in this morning that hot dog on a stick is hiring
11:10you will look so cute in that hat let's go mom
11:18this isn't over if i have to i'll go all the way to the mayor
11:26wouldn't that be interesting

11:41spend private school private school i mean like jackets and kilts you want me to get field hockey
11:48knees it's not that bad what about homeschooling you know it's not just for scary religious people

18:19i thought they'd be here they are they're waiting for you
18:27am i dreaming probably the wrong person to ask
18:34let her go
18:35i'm afraid you should be
19:05i've been on the phone with the superintendent of schools at least he seems more reasonable than
19:14that nasty little hard bigoted rodent man mom anyway um i'm going in to speak with him this
19:21afternoon as for private schools um miss porters accepts late admissions i uh i wrote the
19:28information down for you a girl's school so now it's jackets kilts and no boys
19:36care to throw in a little foot binding
19:40buffy you made some bad choices you just might have to live with some consequences
19:51nothing's settled yet
19:54i just wish you didn't have to be so secretive about things i mean it's not your fault you have
19:58a special circumstance they should make allowances for you mom i'm a slayer it's not like i need to
20:05ride a little bus to school couldn't you just tell a few people like principal snyder and
20:12maybe the police i mean i would think they would be happy to have a
20:17a superhero is that the right term i mean it's not offensive is it
20:34welcome to the hellmouth petting zoo
20:47you know i wanted forest pine or april fresh but mom wanted dead cat
20:58i'll get him back to the library see if we can determine his exact origin
21:03um that's uh striking and nigerian yes i i have this wonderful dealer who specializes in
21:17ancient artifacts i don't know you know i love our talk as much as the next very dull person
21:22but we have work to do giles research mode shouldn't you stay with your mother perhaps
21:28i mean you must have please no it's fine she can go with you actually she can't
21:36um you're not allowed on school property oh i'm sorry um
21:45i'll call as soon as i know something oh we'll see you tonight but tonight

22:11nice pet giles don't you like anything regular golf usa today or anything we're trying to find
22:19out how and why it rose from the grave it's not as if i'm going to take it home and offer it a
22:24saucer of warm milk well i like it i think you should call it patches what about puffy's welcome
22:32home dinner tonight i told your mom we'd help out bring stuff i'm the dip
22:41uh you gotta admire the purity of it what onion dip stirring not cooking it's what i bring
22:51we should figure out what kind of deal this is i mean is it a gathering a shindig or a hoot nanny
22:59what's the difference well gathering is brie mellow song stylings shindig dip less mellow
23:07song stylings perhaps a large amount of malt beverage and hoot nanny well it's chock full
23:13of hoot just a little bit of nanny well i hate brie i know it smells like giles's cat it's not
23:21my and what will we talk about at a gathering anyway so buffy did you meet any nice pimps
23:26on your travels and oh by the by thanks for ruining our lives for the past three months

23:37why don't we just shut up and dance well buffy said she did want to loosen up you know have some
23:44kid time are you guys rehearsing tonight why don't you play at the party yeah i think i could supply
23:50some dingo action i'm not sure that uh uh shindig hootenanny hootenanny is really the order of the
23:59day it's maybe something a little more intimate i mean buffy has just got home i'm sure she's

48:59i think you'll find i can you have no grounds for expelling her i have grounds i have precedent
49:06and a tingly kind of feeling buffy summers is a minor and is entitled to a public education
49:13your personal dislike of the girl does not legally entitle you why don't you take it up
49:18with the city council i thought i'd start with the state supreme court
49:27you're powerful in local circles and i believe i can make life very difficult for you
49:33professionally speaking and buffy will be allowed back in sorry i'm not convinced
49:41i mean i'm not a full-fledged witch that takes years i just did a couple pagan blessings and
50:03a teeny glamour to hide a zit doesn't scare you it has i tried to communicate with the spirit world
50:13i still wasn't ready for that it's like being pulled apart inside plus they blew the power
50:21for our whole block big scare i wish i could have been there with you me too i really freaked out
50:30i am sorry it's okay i understand you having to bail i can forgive that
50:39i have to make allowances for what you're going through and be a grown-up about it
50:46you're really enjoying this whole moral superiority thing aren't you
50:50it's like a drug fine okay i'm the bad i can take my lumps for a while all right i'll stop
