Principal Flutie’s extended welcome

The shooting script for Welcome to the Hellmouth shows additional dialogue for Buffy and Principal Flutie’s conversation in his office on her first day. These lines take place between where he actually looks at her transcript and begins taping it together

Principal Flute: “At Sunnydale we nurture the whole student. The inner student… Other schools might look at the incredible decline in grade point average — we look at the struggling young woman with the incredible decline in grade point average. Other schools might look at the reports of gang fights–”

The dialogue then continues with Principal Flutie’s offer that Buffy can call him Bob as shown in the episode.

      For there to be an ‘incredible decline in grade point average’, Buffy’s grades had to have been pretty high originally.

    2. TwoToGo-Grave says:

      Well, judging by her high SAT scored that was mentioned in “Choices”, it wouldn’t be that surprising, now would it?

    3. Abby M. says:

      I think it would. I think she is supposed to be played off as someone who is and can make the grade, but is so busy (or doesn’t care) she gets bad grades. She did well on SAT because she studied and she was actaully attended.

    4. TwoToGo-Grave says:

      It would figure that the high grades mentioned by Flutie came before she was the slayer, and thus was busy with that stuff. I agree with you about why she didn’t make good grades Abby, but she likely gave more effort before she was called, even if she was busy being popular.

    5. Abby M. says:

      That’s true. Though I have to say, she was pretty shallow, wonder if she cared enough about grades.
