1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,200 In every generation, there is a Chosen One, 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,680 She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness, 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,080 She is the Slayer. 4 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720 - Come on, Mom. Please? - I'm sorry, honey. 5 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,640 - Don't you know how important this is? - It's an outfit. 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,240 An outfit that you may never buy. 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,080 - But... I looked good in it. - You looked like a streetwalker. 8 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,480 But a thin streetwalker. 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,640 That's probably not the winning argument. 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,480 - You're just too young to wear that. - Too young till I'm too old to wear it. 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,720 That's the idea! 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,000 The stores are closing and I still need to order the flyers for the opening. 13 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,720 OK.

I'll just have to fit it in tomorrow. 39 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,360 - Sorry. - A little responsibility is all I ask. 40 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Don't you ever think about anything besides boys and clothes? 41 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,240 Saving the world from vampires? 42 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,640 I swear, sometimes I don't know what goes on in your head. 43 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,320 Xander... 44 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,120 It's just that... I'm worried we're gonna miss class. 45 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,000 This would work a lot better for me if you didn't talk. 46 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,720 Well, it'd work a lot better for me with the lights off. 47 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,200 Are you saying that you can't look at me when we do... whatever it is we do? 48 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,600 No, it's not that I can't. It's just more... I don't want to. 49 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,880 Great. That's just dandy. We're repulsed by each other. 50 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,560 - We hide from our friends... - Well, I should hope so. Please! 51 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,760 All in all, this is not a big self-esteem booster. 52 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,120 Tell me about it. Just look at you. And where did you get those shoes? 53 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,960 - OK. You know what? I don't need this. - Ditto. Like a hole in the head. 54 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800 S-E-X. Sex. 55 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,720 The sex drive in the human animal is intense. 56 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,840 How many of us have lost countless productive hours... 57 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:14,520 ..plagued by unwanted sexual thoughts and feelings? 58 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,240 - Yes. - That was a rhetorical question, Mr Harris... 59 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,400 ..not a poll. 60 00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:24,960 Of course, for teenagers such as yourselves, these feelings are even more overwhelming. 61 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,080 With all sorts of hormones surging through your bodies, compelling you to action... 62 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,400 ..it's often difficult to remember that there are negative consequences to... having sex. 63 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,560 Would anyone care to offer one such consequence? 64 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,120 That depends. Are you talking about sex in the car, or out of the car? 65 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,680 Because I have a friend - not me - that was in a Miata parked on top of the hill... 66 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,280 I was thinking of something more commonplace. 67 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960 You wanna talk negative consequence? What about halitosis? 68 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,720 A girl may seem spiffy, but if she ignores her flossing, the bloom is definitely off the rose. 69 00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:06,560 Like that compares to kissing a guy who thinks the Hoover technique is a big turn-on! 70 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,720 What about having to feign interest in her vapid chitchat just to get some touch? 71 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,800 Now, another consequence of sexual activity? Anyone, uh, else? 72 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880 How about pregnancy? That would be a major one, right? 73 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,440 Thank you. 74 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,320 Among teens, unwanted pregnancy is the No.1 negative consequence of sexual activity. 75 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,680 So, as discussed last week, I present you with... your offspring. 76 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,800 You will split into parenting teams... 77 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,760 ..sharing equally in the daily task of raising your egg. 78 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,800 Please choose a partner and come pick up your children. 79 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,680 You wanna have a baby? 80 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,840 Hey. Ha-ha-ha. I know we just met, but isn't that Xander Junior you're holding? 81 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,200 Buffy, how come you weren't in class? 82 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,440 Vampire issues. Did Mr Whitmore notice I was tardy? 83 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,560 - The word you're searching for is "absent". - Tardy people show. 84 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,760 - Right. - And yes, he did notice... 85 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,440 ..so he wanted me to give you this. 86 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,360 As far as punishments go, this is fairly abstract. 87 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,480 - No! It's your baby. - OK, I get it even less. 88 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,440 It's the "sex leads to responsibility" thing, which I don't get. 89 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,760 You gotta take care of the egg. It's a baby. Teach it Christian values. 90 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,040 - My egg is Jewish. - Then teach it that dreidel song. 91 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,240 I can't do this. I can't take care of things. 92 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,160 I killed my Giga Pet. Literally. I sat on it and it broke. 93 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,200 You'll do fine. 94 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,440 What stresses me is, when do we tell them they're adopted? 95 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,160 I'll just lay that one off on my partner. Who'd I get? 96 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,280 Well, there were an uneven number of students, and you didn't show, so... 97 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,280 - I'm a single mother? - No man of her own. 98 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,800 Do you know what this says about me? That I'm doomed to lead my mother's life. 99 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,200 - How deeply scary is that? - How about this? 100 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,800 It says nothing, it means nothing. This egg experiment is completely pointless. 101 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,440 Success at last! 102 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,240 Your playmate is a fellow of repute, it seems. 103 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,640 It's, erm, Lyle Gorch. And that's his brother, Tector. They're from Abilene. 104 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,440 They made their reputation by massacring an entire Mexican village in 1886. 105 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,240 - Friendly little demons. - That was before they became vampires. 106 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,280 But, erm... the good news is that they're not amongst the great thinkers of our time. 107 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,720 I doubt if they're up to much - just drawn here by the Hellmouth's energy. 108 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,840 - I propose Buffy slays them. All in favour? - Aye. 109 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,720 I don't think you should underestimate them. I mean, you may need to have some help if... 110 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,320 - Why do you all have eggs? - Hey, maybe you can have Angel help you. 111 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,840 Yes, that's not a bad idea. Strength in numbers. 112 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,760 All right. I see a lot of hunting getting done in that scenario. 113 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,680 Please. Like Angel and I are just helpless slaves to passion. Grow up. 114 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,640 - We really... - I know. 115 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,880 You know, this isn't hunting in the classical sense. We should.... 116 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,160 You're right. 117 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,960 - OK. - OK. 118 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,000 - You see anything? - No. 119 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,960 - OK...

And how come he's about to make me blush? 123 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,080 I don't know, Tector. And how come you're always askin' me so many stupid questions? 124 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,920 So, you wanna take him, or, uh... you want me to, Lyle? 125 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,480 I say we leave it.

You and Willow do seem a little sluggish. 182 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,920 - Maybe something we ate. - Or perhaps it's the burden of parenthood. 183 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,600 Notice how seriously you take this egg thing. 184 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,600 While I have, uh... well, chosen a more balanced approach. 185 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,440 - Xander! - That's what I'm talkin' about. 186 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,720 You can't stress over every little thing. A child picks up on that. 187 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,760 Which is a one-way ticket to Neurotic City. 188 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,400 It didn't break. How come it didn't break? 189 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,480 Another secret to conscientious egg care. Pot of scalding water and about 8 minutes. 190 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,480 - You boiled your young? - Yeah. 191 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,840 Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind. 192 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,920 You can bet that little Xander is thick-skinned now. 193 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,040 Technically, that would be cheating, yes? 194 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,560 No. It's like a shortcut. You know, when you run a race? 195 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,600 - That would also be cheating. - You should be ashamed. 196 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,200 I suppose there is a Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression. 197 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,960 I resent that! 198 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,320 Or possibly thank you. 199 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,080 It figures you three would be in the dungeon while something major's going on. 200 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,720 And what would that be, Cordelia? Barrette Appreciation Day? 201 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,280 - Mr Whitmore didn't show today. - That news is of the past. 202 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,800 He's missing. 203 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,720 - Presumed dead. - Presumed by whom? 204 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,920 Well, me. 205 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,920 I think we should give him a few hours before we give up on him. 206 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,240 I think we should look around. Don't you, Xander? 207 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,960 - It can wait. - Well, his body could fall out of a closet. 208 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,320 So we should check some closets to see if he's in... a closet? 209 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,880 You're right. There could be a closet. Let's go. 210 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,760 You guys look for more clues. We'll meet back here. 211 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,640 - We'll get right on it. - Are they getting weirder? 212 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,640 Have you noticed the weirdness of them? 213 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,480 They're weird. Should I have guilt about not looking for Mr Whitmore? 214 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,280 I'd rather you conserve your strength for hunting the Gorches. 215 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,640 I'll be fine by tonight. Maybe I'll sweep the cemetery. 216 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,400 - Be careful. If you're still feeling sluggish... - No worries. 217 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,200 - And Angel's helping you, right? - He does what he can. 218 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,720 As much as I hate to say this, we should really go kill bad guys. 219 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,520 It's late. You should get home. 220 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,640 - What about the Gorches? - I'll hunt. 221 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,960 Really? You'd do that? 222 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,680 It's not like I have an early day tomorrow. 223 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,800 True. I still have to go home and fill out my egg diary. 224 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,160 - Your what? - Oh, that faux parenting gig we're doing. 225 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,840 Like I'm really planning to have kids anytime soon. 226 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800 Maybe someday in the future, when I'm done having a life. 227 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,880 But right now, kids would be a little too much to deal with. 228 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,240 I wouldn't know. 229 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,560 I don't... 230 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,760 Well, you know, I can't. 231 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,400 Oh... That's OK. Um... 232 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,040 I figured there were all sorts of things vampires can't do... 233 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,320 ..like work for the telephone company, or volunteer for the Red Cross... 234 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,400 ..or... have little vampires. 235 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,120 So you don't think about the future? 236 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,560 - No. - Never? 237 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,360 No. 238 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,480 You really don't care what happens a year from now? Five years from now? 239 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,520 Angel, when I look into the future... 240 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,960 ..all I see is you. 241 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,040 All I want is you. 242 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,440 I know the feeling. 243 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,160 Hello?

It went postal on me! 249 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,960 It hatched this creepy-crawly thing. It attacked me! 250 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,160 - Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm fine. But your egg... 251 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,600 Is totally normal. I put it in the fridge. 252 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,680 Oh... 253 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,440 Maybe it's a trap. Something the Gorch brothers planted for you? 254 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,360 Maybe. Yeah. Uh... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have woken you. Go back to sleep. 255 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,040 - Are you sure? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm... better. 256 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,480 I'm... I'm fine. 257 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,640 OK.

Willow. She wasn't feeling well today... 263 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,040 ..so I was calling to make sure she was feeling better. 264 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,640 - You're gonna have to do better than that. - I had a bad dream? 265 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,880 No, you're about to have a bad dream - that you're grounded for the rest of your life. 266 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,880 Which means... no after-school socialising, no Bronze, no nothing. Not until I say so. 267 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,080 - Understand? - Yeah, but I think you... 268 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,200 School ends at 2:30. I want you to go to the library at 2:33... 269 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,400 ..and study until I pick you up there at 5:30. Understood? 270 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,000 - Yeah. - Good.

What am I ashamed of?" 275 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,880 OK, Soliloquy Girl. I just wanted to ask about your egg. 276 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,760 - My egg? - Yeah, your egg. 277 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,200 - The one Mr Whitmore gave you. - It's in my bear. 278 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,480 So... your egg isn't acting odd or anything? 279 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,120 It isn't "acting" anything. It's an egg, Buffy. It doesn't emote. 280 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,840 - Shanice!

It was just a trap the vamps set for me. 287 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,000 And... everyone else's eggs seem perfectly normal. 288 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,640 - Did you bring the thing that attacked you? - Yeah. Giles wants to see it. 289 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,440 He's in full research mode. 290 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,600 OK.
