NIKKI/FIRST: You look good.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: You're not my mother.

NIKKI/FIRST: I give you a compliment, and you don't say thank you? Did I raise you that way?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: You didn't raise me at all.

NIKKI/FIRST: Well, I was dead.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: So, you're the First. Why are you here? Why now?

NIKKI/FIRST: 'Cause you've been coming up in the world?-taking the demons out. It makes a mother proud.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Yeah? Well, think how pleased she'll be when I help take you out. Until it's time for that, I've got no use for you.

NIKKI/FIRST: Would you like to know who killed me? I know you went looking for him.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: You don't know anything.

NIKKI/FIRST: Is that right? Well, you can check it out after I tell you. Check the timing. Re-read what the witnesses said, and the people in the subway station?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Who is it?

NIKKI/FIRST: You met him. You know him. You fought at his side.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Spike.

NIKKI/FIRST: (smiles) Now, what do you say?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Thank you.
