MAYOR: Hello! Nice to meet you.

TRICK: Yeah, hi, it's a pleasure. Where am I?

MAYOR: In my office. I'm Richard Wilkins. I'm the Mayor of Sunnydale. And you're... Mr. Trick. Please, sit down. That's an exciting suit.

TRICK: Well, clothes make the man.

MAYOR: Well, as I understand it, you're not a man... exactly. Mr. Trick, I've been the Mayor for quite some time. I like things to run smoothly. This is a very important year for me.

TRICK: Election year.

MAYOR: Something like that.

TRICK: If this is the part where you tell me that I don't fit in here in your quiet little neighborhood, you can just skip it 'cause, see, that all got old long before I became a vampire. Do you know what I'm saying?

MAYOR: Do you have children? Children are the heart of a community. They need to be looked after. Controlled. The more rebellious element needs to be dealt with. The children are our future. We need them. *I* need them.

TRICK: If this rebellious element means who I think it does, then that problem may be taken care of this very night.

MAYOR: So I've heard. That's a very enterprising idea you have: SlayerFest. I love that name, by the way. You see, *that's* the kind of initiative I need on my team.

TRICK: What if I don't wanna be a part of the team?

MAYOR: Oh, no, that won't be an issue. See, you and I are gonna get along very well. Moist towelette?
