(School. It's a mix of Sunnydale High and Sunnydale U. Students walk past)

BUFFY: Have you seen my friends?

(the student shakes his head and walks on)

BUFFY: They wouldn't just disappear.

(Buffy notices a hole in the wall, peers in)

BUFFY: Mom?

JOYCE: Oh, hi, honey.

BUFFY: Why are you living in the walls?

JOYCE: Oh, sweetie, no, I'm fine here. Don't worry about me.

BUFFY: It looks dirty.

JOYCE: Well, it seems that way to you. (Smiling) I made some lemonade, and I'm learning how to play mah-jongg. You go find your friends.

BUFFY: I, I think they might be in danger.

JOYCE: I-I'm sorry, dear. (Giggling) Um, a mouse is playing with my knees.

BUFFY: I, I really don't think you should live in there.

JOYCE: Well ... you could ... probably break through the wall.

(Buffy walks toward stairs. Joyce watches her go)
