[ Buffy ] PARKER'S PROBLEM WITH INTIMACY TURNED OUT TO BE...
THAT HE CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT.
[ Man ] PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.
- OH! - [ Groans ]
I'M SORRY. I FORGOT MY MANNERS IN ALL THE CONCUSSION.
I'M RILEY. I'M A T.A.
I'LL BE HELPING THE PROFESSOR OUT.
I'M PROFESSOR WALSH, THE EVIL BITCH MONSTER OF DEATH.
'CAUSE THE BIG BAD IS BACK, AND THIS TIME--
- [ Electrical Crackling ] - [ Groaning ]
[ Groaning ]
[ Forrest ] WOMEN. YOUNG, NUBILE, EXCITING.
EACH ONE A MYSTERY, WAITING TO BE UNLOCKED.
THINK ANY OF THEM ARE GONNA SHOW?
'CAUSE THE PARTY WILL BE LAME IF WE LACK FOR HOTTIES.
PROFESSOR? YOU WITH ME?
NO. I'M WITH THIS LARGE PILE
OF UNGRADED PAPERS, DUE AT 3:00.
HOW ARE YOU GONNA LEARN ANYTHING
IF YOU KEEP DOING SCHOOLWORK?
OH...CHECK HER OUT.
IS SHE HOT, OR IS SHE HOT?
SHE'S BUFFY.
[ Gasps ]
BUFFY? I LIKE THAT.
THAT GIRL'S SO HOT, SHE'S BUFFY.
IT'S HER NAME, FORREST.
YOU'VE ESTABLISHED FIRST CONTACT? EXCELLENT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER?
I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT I THINK ABOUT HER.
A GIRL THAT CUTE IN THE FACE,
AND YOU FORM NO OPINION?
NO, I MEAN,
SHE'S ALL RIGHT, I GUESS.
SHE'S JUST KIND OF... I DON'T KNOW.
PECULIAR.
PECULIAR?
YEAH.
HEY, GRAHAM,
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE BLONDE CHICK?
MATTRESSABLE, N'EST-CE PAS?
RILEY'S NOT DOWN. DOESN'T LIKE HER.
I DON'T DISLIKE HER.
SHE JUST-- SHE NEVER FEELS
LIKE SHE'S REALLY THERE WHEN YOU TALK TO HER.
I LIKE GIRLS I CAN GET A GRIP ON.
I BET YOU DO.
NOT THAT WAY.
JUST A LITTLE LESS READY FOR TAKEOFF ALL THE TIME.
THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING OFF ABOUT HER.
MAYBE SHE'S CANADIAN.
[ Forrest ] DIDN'T SHE GO WITH PARKER ABRAMS
FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS?
YEAH, THERE'S A SIGN OF GOOD TASTE.
OKAY, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO ADMIT
SHE'S A MAJOR LEAGUE HOTTIE.
WELL, I'M NOT DENYING SHE'S EASY ON THE EYES.
I'M JUST SAYING...
WOULD YOU REALLY WANT TO GO OUT WITH HER?
HELL, YES.
I BET A LOT OF GUYS WOULD LIKE
TO GET THEIR HANDS ON HER.
SLAYER... I'LL KILL YOU.
NOT SO TOUGH. I...
KILL SLAYER.
[ Bzzz ]
WELL, BASED ON BUFFY'S DESCRIPTION,
I BELIEVE THE MEN THAT WE'RE AFTER
LOOK SOMETHING LIKE, UM...
LIKE THIS.
THE LATEST IN FALL FASCISM.
I LIKE IT.
A BIT FULL IN THE HIPS FOR MY TASTE, BUT--
I THINK WE CAN SAFELY ASSUME THEY'RE HUMAN,
SO, UM, NO RESEARCH NEEDED.
NO STUDYING? DAMN!
NEXT THING YOU'LL TELL ME
IS I'LL HAVE TO EAT JELLY DOUGHNUTS
OR SLEEP WITH A SUPERMODEL
TO GET THINGS DONE AROUND HERE.
I ASK YOU, HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN GIVE?
NOT TOO MUCH, I'M AFRAID. UM...
ONCE AGAIN I'D SAY THAT YOU AND I
WILL NOT BE NEEDED TO HELP BUFFY.
REALLY?
REALLY.
WELL, HOW ABOUT THIS?
WE WHIP OUT THE OUIJA BOARD,
LIGHT A FEW CANDLES,
SUMMON SOME ANCIENT, UNSTOPPABLE EVIL.
MAYHEM, MAYHEM, MAYHEM.
WE SHOW UP AND KICK ITS ASS.

HELLO, PEOPLE. HEY.

IT'S MY LATE NIGHT STORM TROOPER PAL.
IT'S--IT'S JUST FOR REFERENCE, YOU KNOW,
BUT FAIRLY ACCURATE YOU'D SAY?
THAT'S YOUR MAN.
YOUR MAN, ACTUALLY.
UH...YOU ARE PATROLLING TONIGHT?
NOPE, I AM GOING TO A PARTY TONIGHT.
HOPEFULLY, A "NO FIGHTING, NO BITING" KIND OF DEAL.
BUFFY, SOMEBODY'S GOT
TO FIND OUT WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.
GILES, I LIVE IN A DORM NOW.
THE GIRLS IN MY HALL WANT TO PARTY,
WILLOW NEEDS SOME CHEERING UP.
I'M GOING TO TAKE HER.
HOW'S WIL DEALING--
WITH THE BLACK HOLE OF DESPAIR
SHE'S BEEN LIVING IN SINCE OZ LEFT?
SHE'S DEALING. I'M HELPING.
IT'S HARD. ERGO, PARTY.
YOU TWO CAN TAKE PATROL.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I NEED TO GO FIND SOMETHING SLUTTY TO WEAR TONIGHT.
[ Buzzing ]

AND WHO ARE YOU, MATE?
I'M A RAT.
I'M A LAB RAT, JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.
THEY'RE GONNA KILL US, YOU KNOW.
AND HOW ARE THEY GONNA DO THAT?
THEY STARVE YOU.
WHEN YOU'RE READY TO BITE YOUR OWN ARM,
THEY SHOOT OUT ONE OF THOSE PACKETS.
YOU DRINK, AND THE NEXT THING, YOU'RE GONE.
AND THAT'S WHEN THEY DO THE EXPERIMENTS.
AND, UH, THEY ARE?
THE GOVERNMENT? NAZIS? A MAJOR COSMETICS COMPANY?
WHO CARES?
ALL I KNOW IS, ONE MINUTE
I'M RUNNING FROM THE SLAYER,
AND THE NEXT THING, I'M HERE.
THE SLAYER!
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!
YEAH, SHE TOOK APART MY CREW,
AND LED ME STRAIGHT TO THESE GUYS.
SHE SET ME UP, TOO.
I ALWAYS WORRIED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
WHEN THAT BITCH GOT SOME FUNDING.
SHE'S WISED UP A BIT. FINE!
I'LL TAKE HER APART.

I NOTICE YOU LEFT OFF A NAME TODAY IN ROLL CALL.
OSBORNE, DANIEL OSBORNE, OZ?
HE'S NOT IN THIS CLASS ANYMORE.
I HEAR HE DROPPED OUT.
OH, WELL YOU HEARD WAY WRONG THEN.
I MEAN, HE'S NOT GONE.
HE--HE LEFT TEMPORARILY TO WORK OUT A FEW THINGS.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LAME IN ITS VAGUENESS,
BUT I ASSURE YOU, OZ WILL BE BACK.
[ Walsh ] NOT TO MY CLASS, HE WON'T.
AN EDUCATED GUESS. YOU KNOW THE RULES,
YOU KNOW I HATE EXCEPTIONS,
AND YET SOMEHOW YOU FEEL YOUR EXCEPTION IS EXCEPTIONAL.
OH, BUT--
IT IS. TO YOU.
BUT SINCE I'M NEITHER
A FRESHMAN NOR A NARCISSIST,
I HAVE TO CONSIDER THE WHOLE CLASS.
IF YOUR FRIEND CAN'T RESPECT MY SCHEDULE,
I THINK IT'S BEST HE NOT COME BACK.
YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEONE WHO TEACHES HUMAN BEHAVIOR,
YOU MIGHT TRY SHOWING SOME.
IT'S NOT MY JOB TO CODDLE MY STUDENTS.
YOU'RE RIGHT. A HUMAN BEING IN PAIN
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR JOB.
I LIKE HER.
REALLY?
YOU DON'T THINK SHE'S A LITTLE PECULIAR?
HERE WE GO. GEAR FOR TONIGHT.
IF SOME COMMANDO SQUADS ARE OUT THERE, FULLY LOADED,
THESE BABIES MIGHT GIVE US THE EDGE WE'LL NEED.
THAT'S A VERY IMPRESSIVE ARRAY.
WHERE'D IT ALL COME FROM?
UH, REQUISITIONED IT.
BACK WHEN I WAS MILITARY GUY.
THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO. YOU STILL 100%?
ARE YOU KIDDING? I PUT THE SEMPER IN SEMPER FI.
I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ASSEMBLE
AN M-16 BLINDFOLDED LIKE I USED TO
OR PASS WEAPONS DRILL FOR THE MOBILE INFANTRY...
MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT. RIGHT NOW,
I DON'T HAVE THE TECHNICAL SKILLS
TO JOIN THE SWISS ARMY.
AND ALL THOSE GUYS ASK YOU TO DO
IS UNCORK A COUPLE OF SASSY CABERNETS.
WELL, I'M SURE YOU'LL BE READY WHEN THE TIME COMES.
OH, FEAR NOT. HAND TO HAND? I'M STILL THE MAN.
WHOEVER THESE GUYS TRAINED WITH,
I'M SURE THEY'RE NOT READY TO DEAL WITH--
[ Woman ] XANDER!
YES, MOM!
I MADE A NICE FRUIT PUNCH FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIEND.
WOULD YOU BOYS LIKE SOME?
IS IT, UH, RASPBERRY FRUIT PUNCH?
SO SHE SAYS, "YOU TEACH HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO SHOW SOME."
OH, YOU'RE LYING. SHE SAYS THAT TO WALSH?

DOESN'T LACK FOR GUTS.
YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE HER THAT.
YEAH, BUT SHE'S NUTS.
OH, COME ON. LIKE YOU NEVER WANTED
TO TELL THE PROFESSOR OFF? HEY, PARKER!
FORREST. WHAT'S UP, MAN?
WHAT'S THE SCOOP ON BUFFY SUMMERS? IS SHE COOL?
BUFFY? YEAH, SHE'S ALL RIGHT, I GUESS.
I MEAN, KIND OF WHINY.
HOW'S THAT?
WELL, YOU KNOW, CLINGY.
I MEAN, WE GOT A LITTLE PHYSICAL--
UH, WELL, FULLY PHYSICAL,
AND THEN SHE'S ALL OVER ME, YOU KNOW,
LIKE WE'RE BETROTHED OR SOMETHING.
NO, BUT FUN WAS HAD, YEAH?
[ Laughs ] OH, YEAH.
THE WORD IS STAMINA.
I MEAN, DEFINITELY A BUNNY IN THE SACK,
BUT LATER ON, WELL.
YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
A FRESHMAN GIRL AND A TOILET SEAT?
A TOILET SEAT DOESN'T FOLLOW YOU AROUND AFTER YOU USE IT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I DID THAT.
WELCOME TO THE CLUB.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH TROUBLE
YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO?
IF PARKER REPORTED YOU--
HE WON'T. HE'S TOO EMBARRASSED.
I HIT HIM.
WHAT THE HELL FOR?
HE--HE WAS JUST BEING SO CRUDE.
PLEASE. YOU'VE HEARD ME
SAY MUCH GROSSER THINGS THAN THAT.
AND MOST OF THOSE ARE ABOUT YOUR OWN MOTHER.
[ Laughs ]
WHAT IS IT?
I JUST DIDN'T LIKE HEARING HIM
TALK ABOUT BUFFY THAT WAY.
I THINK I...
WELL, I GUESS I LIKE HER.
YOU'RE KIND OF LIKE A MORON.
SO, YOU...
YOU KNEW THAT I HAD FEELINGS FOR HER.
EVERYBODY KNOWS, MAN.
OH, SHE'S PECULIAR? DEAD GIVEAWAY, BUDDY.
I'M ALWAYS THE LAST TO KNOW.
SO, WHATCHA GONNA DO?

RIGHT TO THE POINT, OKAY.
I WAS THINKING OF ASKING OUT BUFFY.
SHE'S NOT HERE.
I KNOW. SEE,
I DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT BUFFY.
BUT I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT SHE LIKES,
AND SO FAR, WELL,
THE ONLY THING THAT I KNOW SHE LIKES IS YOU.
WHAT--WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
JUST TELL ME SOMETHING. ANYTHING.
JUST GIVE ME A CLUE TO--
HERE, LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT.
JUST SOMETHING THAT WILL START US TALKING, YOU KNOW?
I'M THINKING THAT "HOW 'BOUT THEM BRONCOS?"
WON'T REALLY CUT IT.
OKAY, SAY THAT I HELP,
AND YOU START A CONVERSATION.
IT GOES GREAT.
YOU LIKE BUFFY. SHE LIKES YOU.
YOU SPEND TIME TOGETHER, FEELINGS GROW DEEPER,
AND ONE DAY, WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT,
YOU FIND YOU'RE IN LOVE. TIME STOPS,
AND IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD'S
MADE FOR YOU TWO, AND YOU TWO ALONE,
UNTIL THE DAY ONE OF YOU LEAVES
AND RIPS THE STILL-BEATING HEART FROM THE OTHER,
WHO'S NOW A BROKEN, HOLLOW, MOCKERY OF THE HUMAN CONDITION.
YEP, THAT'S THE PLAN.
I FIGURED IT WAS.
LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO TELL ME
TO GO TO HELL, THAT'S OKAY.
MAYBE THIS IS THE LAST THING
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
I JUST FEEL THAT, WELL,
I'VE NEVER COURTED ANYONE LIKE BUFFY BEFORE.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER MET ANYONE LIKE BUFFY BEFORE.
WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU?

BRINGS THAT OUT IN PEOPLE.
SHE LIKES CHEESE.
WHAT?
WELL, I'M NOT SAYING
IT'S THE KEY TO HER HEART,
BUT BUFFY... SHE LIKES CHEESE.
THAT'S A START.
SHE HAS A STUFFED PIGGY NAMED MR. GORDO,
LOVES ICE CAPADES WITHOUT THE IRONY,
AND SHE'S DRAGGING ME TO THIS PARTY TONIGHT AT LOWELL HOUSE.
OH, YOU'RE GOING? THAT'S MY HOUSE. I LIVE THERE.
WELL, IT'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO INTERACT,
BUT DON'T GET FRESH.
FRESH? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE LIKE EACH OTHER YET.

WHO'S SMART, AGGRESSIVE,
AND SOMEHOW ESCAPES DESCRIPTION.
WHOEVER HE WAS, THE GUY WAS BIG.
STRONG, TOO.
WHOEVER... OR WHATEVER.
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN GUESS WORK, GENTLEMEN.
CALL ME OLD-FASHIONED. I LIKE RESULTS.
THIS REPORT READS LIKE A CHILD'S RIDDLE BOOK.
AGENT FINN, TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD.
MY IMPLANT?
THE IMPLANT WORKS.
HOSTILE 17 CAN'T HARM ANY LIVING CREATURE,
IN ANY WAY, WITHOUT INTENSE NEUROLOGICAL PAIN.
CAN'T FEED. CAN'T HARDLY EVEN HIT ANYMORE.
WE'LL BAG IT.
YES, YOU WILL.
DISMISSED.
HEY.
HI.
LISTEN, SORRY ABOUT LAST NIGHT.
NO, NO... I WAS RUDE.
I JUST FELT LIKE BEING ALONE.
SOMETIMES IT'S NICE
TO BE OUT BY YOURSELF AT NIGHT.
I HEAR THAT.
GOTTA BE CAREFUL, THOUGH.
LOTTA STRANGE... PEOPLE OUT THERE.
OH, YEAH.
HOW'S WILLOW DOING?
OKAY.
'COURSE, THAT STUPID FRATERNITY PRANK ON OUR DORM
DIDN'T HELP ANY.
THAT'S RIGHT. I FORGOT YOU GUYS LIVE IN STEVENSON.
YOU KNEW THAT?
WELL, WILLOW AND I WERE...
I THOUGHT SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME ON A PROJECT.
REALLY?
THAT WORK OUT FOR YOU?
DON'T KNOW YET.
UH, LAST NIGHT...
AT THE PARTY,
YOU WANTED TO TELL ME SOMETHING?
OH, YEAH. VERY IMPORTANT STUFF.
I DON'T REMEMBER ANY OF IT NOW.
BUT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN FASCINATED,
POSSIBLY EVEN MOVED.
DID WILLOW TELL YOU I LIKE CHEESE?
YOU'RE A LITTLE PECULIAR.
I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.
GRR! ARRGH!
