POTENTIALS: Huh!

KENNEDY: Punch block combo!

POTENTIALS: Huh!

KENNEDY: Cross block kick!

POTENTIALS: Huh!

KENNEDY: Chamber your energy. Punch block combo! (Chloe does the moves incorrectly, and Kennedy notices, walking up to her) Hold it! What the hell do you call that, potential? Try that in the field, you are dead. Drop, and give me 20.

CHLOE: 20 what?

KENNEDY: Push-ups, maggot! (Chloe drops to do push-ups; Kennedy turns toward Buffy and Wood, still scowling, then suddenly grinning and giddy) I love this job! Did you see that? I called that girl "maggot." (to Wood) Hi. Who the hell are you?

BUFFY: An ally.

KENNEDY: So, what do you think? My girls ready to kick some ass, or what?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Looking strong.

KENNEDY: But...?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Well, I'm just not sure the First has an ass that you can actually, you know, kick.

KENNEDY: Guess we'll see.

AMANDA: (waving) Principal Wood, hi! It's so weird seeing you outside of school.

KENNEDY: (to Amanda) What are you waving at, potential? Attention!

POTENTIALS: Huh!

KENNEDY: Rising sun. Begin.

BUFFY: You're right, it's not enough.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: That's not what I said, Buffy. It's an impressive group of recruits.

BUFFY: They're not recruits. Recruits are...recruited. These girls were chosen.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: You're doing the best you can with what you've got.

BUFFY: They're not all gonna make it. Some will die, and nothing I can do will stop that.
