GILES: As for school, Buffy, uh, you know you'll have to talk to Principal Snyder before...

BUFFY: On it. Mom is making an appointment with His Ugliness. I know she can break him.

(cut to Snyder's office)

SNYDER: Absolutely not. Under no circumstances.

JOYCE: But you can't keep her out of school. You don't have the right.

SNYDER: I have not only the right, but also a nearly physical sensation of pleasure at the thought of keeping her out of school. I'd describe myself as tingly.

JOYCE: Buffy was cleared of all those charges.

SNYDER: Yes. And while she may live up to the not-a-murderer requirement for enrollment, she is a troublemaker, destructive to school property and the occasional student. And her grade point average is enough to... I'm sorry. Another tingle moment.

JOYCE: I don't see how you can be so cavalier about a young girl's entire future!

SNYDER: I'm quite sure that a girl with the talents and abilities of Buffy will land on her feet. In fact, I noticed as I came in this morning that Hot Dog on a Stick is hiring. You will look so cute in that hat.

BUFFY: Let's go, Mom.

JOYCE: This isn't over. If I have to, I'll go all the way to the Mayor.

SNYDER: Wouldn't that be interesting.
