More for me. 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,798 I don't know about you, but I would love some chicken. 28 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,434 - Yes. As would I. - I'll take a drumstick. 29 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,473 I'm a breast girl myself. But then again you knew that. 30 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,037 - So... - What so? 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,316 So, how was it? 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,159 Seeing Angel. Him seeing you. 33 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,676 Was it weird? 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,595 It was intense. 35 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,518 - Well, if you wanna talk about it... - I don't. 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,998 It's not important. Past. 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,353 I'd just rather keep this one to myself, if that's OK. 38 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,959 Sure, whatever. 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,358 Buffy, there was some discussion, in your absence, 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,711 about what you're gonna do now. 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,878 Your plans. 42 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,751 I've been giving that a lot of thought. 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,350 - I think I've figured out what I should do. - Good. That's good. 44 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,950 I figure, if I hold off paying the plumber, I can pay the utility bill. 45 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,073 - I can wait to reshingle the roof until... - I meant with your life. 46 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,234 Life plans. Well... 47 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,556 I have no idea. 48 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:37,232 I guess... Well, I left school, you know, when Mom got sick, 49 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,557 but I always figured I'd go back. And then she... 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,196 So I was thinking about re-enrolling, 51 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,108 but I missed the registration cutoff. Busy being dead and all. 52 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,790 If it's too late for late registration and too early for early, 53 00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,275 you can always come to classes with Tara and me. 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,678 Right. You can audit for the rest of the semester until registration. 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,188 Audit. I guess I could do that. 56 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,072 Yeah. It sounds like a good plan. What do you think, Giles? 57 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,398 The Slayer always knows what she's doing. 58 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,149 Sharp. Decisive. Always with a plan. 59 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,035 We'll never be the crime lords of Sunnydale with her one step ahead of us. 60 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,310 That's why we're throwing tests at her, 61 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,910 seeing which one of us can shake her up, maybe find a weakness or two. 62 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,598 - She's ready. - Sweet. Run me through it. 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,996 We got nine surveillance cameras hooked in - super wide-angle, infrared, auto-iris - 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,954 six types of audio monitoring, filtered through a dual quad DVR system... 65 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,072 Yeah, yeah. Fine. Just tell me. 66 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,757 Are you sure we'll be able to watch Buffy without her noticing? 67 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,269 Absolutely. She'll never even know... 68 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,756 What the hell is that? 69 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,836 Death Star, dude. Wicked, huh? 70 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,872 Thermal exhaust port's above the main port, numbnuts. 71 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,675 I'm using the Empire's revised designs from Return of the Jedi. 72 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,314 That's a flawed design. 73 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,715 OK. Since we're messing with the Slayer, 74 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,479 who could pummel us all into a sludgy substance, 75 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,479 it might be a good idea for us to not draw attention to ourselves. 76 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,111 - I could paint over it if you want. - Yeah, do that. 77 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,435 This time tomorrow, the games begin. 78 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,518 And the Slayer will never even know what hit her. 79 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,356 This is gonna be great. 80 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,315 I thought it might be a little weird being back It is weird, but a good kind of weird. 81 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,637 There's the teacher, Mike. You'll like Mike. 82 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,119 You call your teacher Mike? Boy, school sure has changed since my day. 83 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,358 Social construction of reality. Who can tell me what that is? 84 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,310 Rachel. 85 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,510 A concept involving opposing theories: 86 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,553 one stressing the externality of social reality from individuals. 87 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,069 And the flip side? Steve. 88 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,397 Each individual participates fully in the construction of his life. 89 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,556 Good. And who can expand on that? 90 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,352 - Chuck. - Those... 91 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,836 Will, I'm not following this too well. 92 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,430 The trick is to get in the rhythm. Kinda go with the flow. 93 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,070 That would be easier if your classmates weren't such big brains. 94 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,237 Buffy, that's ridiculous. They are no smarter than you or me. 95 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,349 Willow. 96 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,109 Because social phenomena don't have unproblematic objective existences, 97 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,755 they have to be interpreted by those who encounter them. 98 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,668 Nicely put. So, Ruby, does that mean there are countless realities? 99 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,676 What? 100 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,189 You're not dumb. Just rusty. 101 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,976 Maybe I should ease back in with classes like... 102 00:06:33,977 --> 00:06:36,633 Introduction to Pies, or Advanced Walking. 103 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,638 - Hey. How'd it go? - She did fine. 104 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,593 - Sociology, not a big fave. - She didn't like Mike? 105 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,380 No, it's fine. I just need to spend more time reacclimating, 106 00:06:46,415 --> 00:06:47,850 to get back into the swing... 107 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,956 You could at least say sorry, rude-o. 108 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,831 Everybody's in a hurry. 109 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,231 Hans 7, this is Logan 5.

I don't know. Maybe. 162 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,276 I guess I could have been blacking out. 163 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,076 But there was this thing on my sweater, and then it just blew away, or went poof. 164 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,873 Maybe it was lint.

It makes you feel all powerful. 471 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,474 Strong... 472 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:26,874 Kinda sick. 473 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,272 - She hurt me. - Someone'll see you.

We took on the Slayer. 481 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,435 We've got lots of stuff in the computer now. 482 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:25,680 Speed, strength, reaction time... We're getting what we need to be a threat to her. 483 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,792 We tested her, faced her, and we survived. 484 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,514 Unless I have internal injuries that will kill me. 485 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,553 Of course.
