Buffy the Vampire Slayer

IN EVERY GENERATION, THERE IS A CHOSEN ONE.

SHE ALONE WILL STAND AGAINST THE VAMPIRES,

THE DEMONS AND THE FORCES OF DARKNESS.

SHE IS THE SLAYER.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?

IT'S A GREAT IDEA. NOW, COME ON.

YOU GO TO SCHOOL HERE?

I USED TO.

ON TOP OF THE GYM, IT'S SO COOL.

YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE TOWN.

I... I... I... I DON'T WANT TO GO UP THERE.

OH, YOU CAN'T WAIT, HUH?

WE'RE JUST GONNA GET IN TROUBLE.

YEAH, YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT WAS WHAT?

I HEARD A NOISE.

IT'S NOTHING.

WELL, UH, MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING.

WELL, MAYBE IT'S SOME THING.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

HELLO.

THERE'S NOBODY HERE.

ARE YOU SURE?

YES, I'M SURE.

OK.

AH! AAH!

Woman: BUFFY!

I'M UP, MOM.

Mom: DON'T WANT TO BE LATE FOR YOUR FIRST DAY!

NO...

WOULDN'T WANT THAT.

OK.

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA MAKE FRIENDS RIGHT AWAY.

JUST THINK POSITIVE.

AND, HONEY...

TRY NOT TO GET KICKED OUT.

I PROMISE.

OK.

EXCUSE ME. COMING THROUGH. PARDON ME.

EXCUSE ME. WHOA!

CAN'T STOP.

PLEASE MOVE. WHOA! EXCUSE ME.

WHOA.

OH, GOD! I'M OKAY. I FEEL GOOD.

WILLOW!

YOU'RE SO VERY MUCH THE PERSON I WANTED TO SEE.

OH, REALLY?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, I KIND OF HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE MATH.

UH, WHICH PART?

THE MATH.

CAN YOU HELP ME OUT TONIGHT, PLEASE?

BE MY STUDY BUDDY?

WELL, WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

A SHINY NICKEL.

OK. DO YOU HAVE THEORIES IN TRIG?

YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.

"CHECK IT OUT"?

FROM THE LIBRARY...

WHERE THE BOOKS LIVE.

RIGHT. I'M THERE.

SEE? I WANNA CHANGE.

HEY, HEY!

HEY, JESSE. WHAT'S WHAT?

NEW GIRL.

THAT'S RIGHT. I SAW HER.

PRETTY MUCH A HOTTIE.

I HEARD SOMEONE WAS TRANSFERRING.

SO TELL.

TELL WHAT?

WHAT'S THE SITCH? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER?

NEW GIRL.

WELL, YOU'RE CERTAINLY A FONT OF NOTHING.

BUFFY SUMMERS.

SOPHOMORE, LATE OF HEMERY HIGH IN LOS ANGELES.

INTERESTING RECORD.

QUITE A CAREER.

WELCOME TO SUNNYDALE.

A CLEAN SLATE, BUFFY, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET HERE.

WHAT'S PAST IS PAST.

WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT IT SAYS ON A PIECE OF PAPER,

EVEN IF IT SAYS...

WHOA.

MR. FLUTIE...

ALL THE KIDS HERE ARE FREE TO CALL ME BOB.

BOB...

BUT THEY DON'T.

I KNOW MY TRANSCRIPTS ARE A LITTLE...

COLORFUL.

HEY, WE'RE NOT CARING ABOUT THAT.

DO YOU THINK, UH, "COLORFUL"

IS THE WORD?

NOT, UH, DISMAL?

WASN'T THAT BAD.

YOU BURNED DOWN THE GYM.

I DID.

I REALLY DID, BUT...

BUT YOU'RE NOT SEEING THE BIG PICTURE HERE.

I MEAN, THAT GYM WAS FULL OF VAMPI...

UH, ASBESTOS.

BUFFY, DON'T WORRY.

ANY OTHER SCHOOL...

THEY MIGHT SAY, "WATCH YOUR STEP"

OR "WE'LL BE WATCHING YOU,"

BUT THAT'S JUST NOT THE WAY HERE.

WE WANT TO SERVICE YOUR NEEDS

AND HELP YOU TO RESPECT OUR NEEDS.

AND IF YOUR NEEDS AND OUR NEEDS DON'T MESH...

OOH! SORRY.

THAT'S OK.

OHH.

CAN I HAVE YOU?

UH, CAN I HELP YOU?

UH, THANKS.

I DON'T KNOW YOU, DO I?

I'M BUFFY.

I'M NEW.

XANDER IS... IS ME.

HI.

OH, THANKS.

WELL, UH,

MAYBE I'll SEE YOU AROUND.

MAYBE AT SCHOOL...

SINCE WE BOTH...

GO THERE.

GREAT.

IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU.

WE BOTH GO TO SCHOOL.

VERY SUAVE.

VERY NOT PATHETIC.

OH. HEY!

HEY! YOU FORGOT YOUR...

STAKE.

IT'S ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 25 MILLION PEOPLE

DIED IN THAT ONE 4-YEAR SPAN.

BUT THE FUN PART OF THE BLACK PLAGUE

IS THAT IT ORIGINATED IN EUROPE HOW?

AS AN EARLY FORM OF GERM WARFARE.

IF YOU'LL LOOK AT THE MAP ON PAGE 63,

YOU CAN TRACE THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE

INTO ROME AND THEN NORTH...

HERE.

THANKS.

SURE.

AND THIS POPULAR PLAGUE

LED TO WHAT SOCIAL CHANGES?

STEVE?

HI, I'M CORDELIA.

I'M BUFFY.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A TEXTBOOK OF YOUR VERY OWN,

THERE'S PROBABLY A FEW IN THE LIBRARY.

OH, GREAT. THANKS. WHERE WOULD THAT BE?

I'll SHOW YOU. COME ON.

SO YOU'RE FROM HEMERY, RIGHT? IN L.A.?

YEAH.

OH, I WOULD KILL TO LIVE IN L.A...

THAT CLOSE TO THAT MANY SHOES.

WELL, YOU'LL BE OK HERE.

IF YOU HANG WITH ME AND MINE,

YOU'LL BE ACCEPTED IN NO TIME.

OF COURSE, WE DO HAVE TO TEST YOUR COOLNESS FACTOR.

YOU'RE FROM L.A., SO YOU CAN SKIP THE WRITTEN,

BUT LET'S SEE.

VAMP NAIL POLISH?

UM, OVER?

SO OVER.

JAMES SPADER?

HE NEEDS TO CALL ME.

FRAPPACHINOS?

TRENDY, BUT TASTY.

JOHN TESH.

THE DEVIL.

THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH A GIMME,

BUT YOU PASSED.

OH, GOOD.

WILLOW.

NICE DRESS.

GOOD TO KNOW YOU'VE SEEN THE SOFTER SIDE OF SEARS.

UH, WELL... WELL, MY MOM PICKED IT OUT.

NO WONDER YOU'RE SUCH A GUY-MAGNET.

ARE YOU DONE?

OH!

IF YOU WANT TO FIT IN HERE,

THE FIRST RULE IS KNOW YOUR LOSERS.

ONCE YOU CAN IDENTIFY THEM ALL BY SIGHT,

THEY'RE A LOT EASIER TO AVOID.

AND IF YOU'RE NOT TOO SWAMPED WITH CATCHING UP,

YOU SHOULD COME BY THE BRONZE TONIGHT.

THE WHO?

THE BRONZE.

IT'S THE ONLY CLUB WORTH GOING TO AROUND HERE.

THEY LET ANYBODY IN,

BUT IT'S STILL THE SCENE.

IT'S IN THE BAD PART OF TOWN.

WHERE'S THAT?

ABOUT A HALF A BLOCK FROM THE GOOD PART OF TOWN.

WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF TOWN HERE.

YOU SHOULD SHOW.
