BUFFY: So, you're not doing your homework.

CASSIE: I guess not. It all just... seems kind of ... whatever.

BUFFY: I know high school can seem kind of frustrating. But if you just get through it, then you can go to college, you know, or you can join the French Foreign Legion, or anything you want.

CASSIE: Yeah, well, I'm not gonna do all that stuff.

BUFFY: OK, no Foreign Legion. I get that. I mean all the changing your name, and being indentured for all those years, and occupying Algeria...

CASSIE: It's just that I'm not graduating from high school.

BUFFY: Why not?

CASSIE: I really like that shirt. Where'd you get it?

BUFFY: Cassie, don't change the subject. Why won't you graduate?

CASSIE: Because next Friday I'm gonna die.

BUFFY: What?

CASSIE: Can we talk about something else?

BUFFY: No, we have to talk about this.

CASSIE: Just... never mind.

BUFFY: Cassie, what makes you feel like this?

CASSIE: Feel like what?

BUFFY: Like you wanna hurt yourself.

CASSIE: Oh, I'm? (laughs) I'm not gonna commit suicide if?if that's what you're saying. No way.

BUFFY: OK then. Then what are you saying?

CASSIE: Look, I don't mean to be a pain. You seem really nice, and I know you're just trying to help. But I'm wasting your time.

BUFFY: No you're not. This is why I'm here. Cassie, please tell me, why do you think you're gonna die?

CASSIE: I don't think it, I know it. I just know.

BUFFY: What do you mean, you know? A-are you saying that someone's going to hurt you? Has someone threatened you?

CASSIE: No. No, I just know that next Friday I'm gonna die. Some things I just know. I don't know how, I just do. Like I know there will be coins?

BUFFY: Coins?

CASSIE: Mm-hmm. Lots of coins. Weird ones. And I know that you'll go someplace dark underground. I-I don't know.

BUFFY: What do you mean underground?

CASSIE: And I know you'll try to help?

BUFFY: Cassie, I-I don't understand what you're saying.

CASSIE: But you can't, OK? I gotta go. Trig. I don't want Mr. Corrigan sending me Principal Wood again.

BUFFY: Cassie, please?

CASSIE: Thanks for being so nice. I really do like that shirt. You should put a sweater on so it doesn't get stained. I gotta go.

BUFFY: Cassie, wait, please?

CASSIE: Gotta go.
