PRINCIPAL WOOD: How 'bout if you try doing your own homework for a change? No more getting these young, impressionable women to do it for you. Avoid detention, R.J. Sound good?

RJ: Whatever.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Oh, sweet infectious enthusiasm.

BUFFY: Whoa. Hang on there, slappy. I'm not done with you yet.

RJ: Oh, man. Like it's not bad enough I got that guy riding my back all the time. Now I gotta deal with you, too?

BUFFY: Actually, I'm a bit more formidable than Mr. Wood. You might come to look fondly on his back-riding.

RJ: Yeah, but come on?

BUFFY: Sit.

RJ: Hey, I told him I was sorry about the homework.

BUFFY: Mmm... not the homework, Mr. Wizard. The girls. What you're doing to them. In specific, my sister.

RJ: Hey, I didn't do anything to your sister. And you saw how hot she looked last night. I think that proved that she?

BUFFY: (repulsed) Aah! No more with the talky. Look, I know how guys like you work. You turn on the charm, you get whatever you want, no matter who gets in your way, right?

RJ: OK, look, it's not like that. I just? get along really well with girls.

BUFFY: Oh, I see how you get along. Oh, look at me, I'm Mr. Quarterback. I crush little girls and all their little feelings. All I have to do is? (suddenly swooning) lead a team of high school athletes trying their best to do a good job. Everyone depending on me. That is a lot of pressure. But it doesn't mean you get to disregard other people's feelings.

RJ: It's not like I meant to hurt anyone.

BUFFY: I know. I know that. It's just? you're a leader, a captain, OK? People look up to you. You need to keep that in mind when you? I bet you run a lot, huh? I mean, they work you pretty hard, don't they?

RJ: Yeah, I guess so.

BUFFY: I get that. I do. I'm there. Or at least I was there when I was still in high school. Which I was, just a couple of years ago, really. You know, I just realized that I'm basically the same age as you. I'm not really older at all, actually. Just like you, but with the sexual experience and stuff.

RJ: I think I hear what you're saying.

BUFFY: Um, right, I'm?I'm really glad that w-we had this talk, so, uh, I think you'd better to get back to class.

RJ: OK. Thanks.
