WILLOW: 'Introduction to Psychology.' Oh, up there.

BUFFY: I'll get'em. You know, this store discriminates against short people.

WILLOW: Oh, I think there's a protest next week.

(Buffy knocks some books off onto Riley's head)

BUFFY: Woah, oh. Oh, ahh. Oh god, I'm so sorry!

RILEY: I'm okay. It's okay. Well, that was bracing.

BUFFY: I'm so... the books were just too high, and then everything was bad.

RILEY: Let me give you a hand. Let's put a few of these down here. So, uh, are you girls taking Intro Psych, or do you just want me dead?

BUFFY: Uh-huh. I mean the first one.

RILEY: Well, you'll have a lot of fun. Professor Walsh--she's quite a character.

WILLOW: You've taken it?

RILEY: I'm a TA, I'll be helping the Professor out. I'm sorry, I've forgotten my manners in all the concussion... I'm Riley.

WILLOW: Willow, and this is my friend Buffy.

RILEY: It's nice to meet you both.

BUFFY: I'm nice to meet.

WILLOW: Hey, do you know if we're going to be studying 'Operant Conditioning' in the first semester? 'Cause I hear that's kinda Professor Walsh's specialty.

RILEY: Absolutely. Do you know her treatise on Dietrichs work?

WILLOW: I know of it.

RILEY: It's not in the syllabus, but it's a fascinating read... if you're in to that sort of thing. They have it here.

WILLOW: Oh, where?

RILEY: I'll show you. I don't meet that many freshmen that know that much about psychology.

WILLOW: Well, it's fascinating.

BUFFY: Yeah, you know, 'cause everyone's got a brain. (to herself) Or, almost everyone.
