Original subtitles

Are you sure this is a good idea?

It's a great idea.

So you go to school here?

I used to.

Nice.

Gets better. Come on.

Pretty cool, huh?

I could have fallen!

I would have caught you.

What was that?

What was what?

I heard a noise.

It's nothing.

Maybe it's something.

Maybe it's some THING.

That's not funny.

HELLOOOOOO!

There's nobody here.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay.

I don't think you'll have any problem adjusting, Bunny.

Buffy.

Just remember our personal rules, no gang colors, no fur,

no hanging from the raptors in the cafeteria screaming

meat is murder on sloppy Joe day.

That became very popular last month, had to put my foot down.

- Principal Flutie... - Betty?

I just want you to... Buffy.

To know that I am not here to cause trouble.

There's not going to be any incidents like at my old school.

Well I certainly hope not.

No, I'm here to have fun.

But I mean learning, fun with learning.

Don't worry, I think you'll fit in just fine.

Willow!

You are so the very much the person I want to see.

Oh really?

Yeah, you know I kinda had a problem with the math.

Which part?

The math.

Can you come after third period and please be my study buddy.

Well, what's in it for me?

A shiny nickel.

Okay.

But you shouldn't be having a problem with it, Xander.

M. Worth says you never pay attention.

I pay attention, just not to him.

Willow, nice dress.

Good to see you've seen the softer side of Sears.

Hey Cordelia, going to The Bronze tonight?

Not with you.

- But we're still going right? - Who's playing?

Dingoes Ate My Baby, they rock.

Grunge, wow what a new look!

I know flannels over but I can never tell what's coming next!

I don't know about you but I am scared.

Excuse me, but was I talking to you?

Has any girl ever spoken to you of her own free will?

I don't think so.

You know I often wondered why that is.

Got a mirror?

Check back tomorrow I'll have that devastating comeback ready.

Sorry about that.

Oh that's okay, I was totally fazing.

I'm trying to find the library.

Oh, It's over there.

Thanks.

I don't know you, do I?

I'm Buffy, I'm new.

You're new and improved.

Hey, you forgot, your...

...stake!

Hello?

Hi!

Is anybody's here?

Ooh! Anybody's here.

Can I help you?

Textbooks, I'm looking for textbooks.

Miss Summers?

Good call.

Guess I'm the only new kid, huh?

So, I'm taking euro centric history and I'm going to need...

I think I know what your after.

That's not what I'm looking for.

Are you sure?

I'm way sure.

My mistake.

Um, what is it you said...

You wanted?

M. Brawns said for me to get you caught up, if your having trouble.

Or I could not.

No, that would be great.

History isn't my best subject, a sort of lack of that subject.

I'm Buffy.

I know, I'm Willow.

Good to meet you.

That is a great outfit.

Thanks! I'm totally jamming on your dress.

No, It's dorky. I'm aware that it's dorky.

Not a jaw. It's lush.

Laura Ashley is deffinately back.

You think?

She's back and this time it's personal.

See, they mated her with the home depot guy and that's where you got Martha Stewart.

Can I ask you, what's up with the school librarian?

You met Mr. Giles.

Yeah, is he new?

He started a few weeks ago.

He used to be the courier of some British museum.

I don't know why he would work here except

that we do have some pretty important collections.

Hi, I'm Cordelia.

We just thought we'd be a little welcoming committee,

help you get adjusted, explain who to hang with and why.

Thanks.

Quite frankly when I saw those shoes

I knew their was a beautiful bond of sisterhood between us.

Really, I was very very moved, really.

The new kid?

She seems kind of weird to me.

What kind of name is Buffy?

Hey Aphriodesia.

Well, the chatter of the cap is that she got kicked out

and that is why she is starting with a new semester.

Nay!

Ha, she was starting fights.

Says we.

Well I heard it from blue and she said that she saw the transcript...

I'm trying to work this out and all

I could figure is that you are building a really little fence.

Oh, it's... no actually it was for self defense.

My last school was kind of interesting.

Well, it's pretty mellow here.

You'll do find once you know your way around.

Aw, those guys are the hawsers.

They'd be genuine hard core gangsters except for the upper class white guy stigma.

Total wannabes but they are okay.

Aw, Topanga inbreeds.

Dudes, surfside up somewhere in the world.

Guess it's not that much different on my side of the hill.

Well, try your hand at it.

Okay lets see.

Um, that would have to be the theater club.

Aw, well spotted. What gave it away?

They are always way gestuery.

What is the homework!

I didn't get the homework!

And them?

Uh, film club?

They spend their time deciding that every movie

is an existential mediation on freudian sexuality.

Even Muppets take Manhattan?

Especially the Muppets take Manhattan.

Aw, the dirty girls.

Why do you call em... oh wow.

They have views on hygiene, it's pretty intense.

So which group are you affiliated with?

Well I've applied to a few but it doesn't look good.

Although I haven't heard back from the dirty girls.

Willow! You've met Buffy right?

She might be going to bronze tonight.

- Willow, what's wrong? - You didn't hear?

Heard what?

In the woman's locker room, they found someone.

And?

They found someone.

I mean, someone...

Dead!

Dead?

Way dead.

Its not just a little dead then.

Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Are you guys sure?

I heard it from Miss Ramsey, he was in a locker room.

I heard that he used to go here and that it was a gang thing.

You think he was killed by someone?

No I'm sure it was natural causes.

He crawled up in the locker and died up old age.

Um, I gotta book.

See you guys later okay.

Principle Flutie?

Bambi?

Betty, uhhh Betty? Wilma?

Buffy.

Buffy, I am so sorry about this.

I know it's your first day.

I just want to say we very seldom, we almost never have dead kids stuffed in a locker.

I have a very strict policy about this.

- So is it's true? - Oh yeah.

I know it's hard, certainly not the welcome I would have planned for you.

I know you're upset, confused.

You probably go that thing when you burp and you get that vommity taste in your mouth.

I just want you to know that we are all here for you.

If theirs anything that you need...

Can I look at the body?

Oh great!

Okay what's the sitch!

I'm sorry?

What's the sitch here?

You heard about the dead guy right?

The dead guy in the locker.

Yes.

Cause it's the weirdest thing.

He's got two little holes in his neck and all his bloods been drained.

Isn't that bizarre? Aren't you just going ooooooh?

I see. Is he, will he...rise again.

No, he wasn't changed. Just dead.

Oh dear, I was afraid of this.

Well I wasn't. It's my first day.

I was afraid I was going to be behind in all my classes

and that I wouldn't make any friends and I would have last month's hair.

I didn't think there'd be vampires on campus and I don't care.

Then why are you here?

To tell you that I don't care.

Which I don't and have now told you, so bye.

You cannot escape your destiny.

Wanna bet?

Do you think its coincidence your being here, it was fated.

Why can't you people just leave me alone.

Because you are the slayer.

To every generation a slayer is born.

One girl in all the world.

A chosen one.

Wow, you can do the speech and everything.

One born with the strength and skill...

To hunt the vampires.

To stop the spread of their evil, blah blah blah.

I've heard of this okay?

I don't understand this attitude.

You've accepted your duty, you've slayed vampires before.

Well, I've both been there and done that and I'm moving on.

Growing as a person, much happen.

You have no idea what's going on do you?

Theirs vampires? Big deal, you kill em.

You think vampires are the only threat we face here?

What do you mean?

There are more thing on hell and Earth then dreamed of in your philosophy.

Werewolves, zombies, gloves, incubi, sucubi,

everything you've ever dreaded under your bed

but told your self couldn't be by the light of day.

They're all real.

What, you like sent away for the time life series?

Yes.

Did you get the free phone?

The calendar.

Cool. Zombies huh?

Okay, first of all I'm a vampire slayer.

And secondly I'm retired.

Your work is not finished.

My work? I'm 16 I don't have work I have homework.

And you haven't been properly trained.

Which is why you're here.

Well yes I'm a watcher

and a watcher serves by finding the slayer and leading her on her path.

It is my destiny to guide you.

Yeah, well the last guy they sent to guide me...

You should see what happened to him.

Yes I know all about it.

You don't know anything about it.

You don't know what it's like... I was happy.

I was Cindy Lou Who just coasting through my life when vampires,

which are only supposed to be in cheesy movies, started killing people.

People I know and I found out that I'm the slayer,

the only one in the world and I got to stop them.

And I do.

I train, I hunt, it becomes my whole life.

I can do things no other kid can do and actually that's fairly lush I'm kind of into that.

So I kill the vampires, yay me.

And when it's all over what's left.

My grades are the suck,

my social life has achieved leopards stage

and I get thrown out of school for causing trouble.

Not exactly a medal and book deal if you know what I mean.

Yes, I do.

I just want to be just like everybody else.

Like anybody else.

But you're not, are you?

Well, I need to be.

Are you the new girl?

Yeah.

Hey. I'm allowed to be here right?

Sure.

I'm psyched you came.

Is the band good?

Well, they don't know any actual chords yet but they have really big amps.

But it's always a good time though.

Yeah, it seems normal.

A normal thing to do.

Uh, yeah.

Well I mean everyone comes here right?

So you didn't do normal things at your old school.

Oh, sure only.

Exclusively you know everyday stuff.

Homework, student council football team.

You were on the football team?

No, I just... So, is Willow coming tonight?

Oh I saw her sneaking onto campus with some guy.

Willow has a boyfriend?

She does tonight.

I didn't know the guy.

So you didn't have any extracurricular activities...

What was he like?

Who?

Willow's friend.

Oh um, kind of..

Pale?

Yeah.

What was he wearing?

Um, a jacket.

No, what was it like. Was it outdated and all some old style.

You really caring about this outfit.

Um yeah, but it was pretty striking.

You know, sleeves rolled up, collar.

Very Lionel Ritchie.

I mean, who's still sporting that look.

This is nice.

I don't usually do this sort of thing.

I don't usually get asked.

But I'm having a good time though.

Soooo, where did you say you went to school at?

Crossroads.

Soooo, time for some kissing, huh?

Relax.

We probably shouldn't even be here.

Especially after what happened to that poor boy.

He had it coming.

What do you mean?

Coming up here alone, at night with a complete stranger.

What kind of idiot would do a thing like that?

What's the matter?

Don't you want to snuggle?

Hey, wait up!

Where would they be?

Buffy, what's the sitch?

You might need this.

This wouldn't by any chance be a vampire issue?

The auditorium! I'll try around back.

Alright, get your hands off of her.

Ooooh seconds.

So what is it with vampires and clothes.

You always think the march of fashion stopped dead the day you did.

But it really is such a give away.

You know, you really shouldn't be here.

A vampire, all alone at night.

It just isn't safe.

You've got me wrong.

Oh, my bad.

Your not a vampire?

I'm not alone.

I don't suppose you'd be sweeties and attack me one at a time?

You watch to many movies.

You can never watch to many...

Ow, that was my favorite spine.

Get Willow out of here.

Heads up.

Can you walk?

Ugh, mom was right about boys. Ow!

We gotta get help.

Xander, do you usually carry a purse?

God I hate leftovers!

See what happens when you rough house?

I don't like any girls, that I'm afraid of.

Who are you?!

I'm the slayer.

A slayer?

Better face facts.

You've run out of time, you've run out of friends and nobody likes your outfit.

Freeze!

I know how to use this! I think.

Be careful you guys, there's still one...

Your friend can't help you now!

Hold that thought.

I'm really sorry about this.

That's okay, it's kind of a destiny thing.

So, what does a vampire slayer do exactly?

Hey! Look at them!

Well, it seems Buffy's found her own level.

I can't believe we were almost nice to her!

I know.

I'm not saying you didn't do well.

Wait, now I am.

You didn't do well.

You stunk up the place.

Are you kidding ?

She was huge. She had the moves, this crane technique.

And she saved my life.

Which I'm for.

If she'd been a minute later you'd be dead or worse.

And you revealed yourself? And you let one of them get away?

You know, are you sure your wearing enough?

Cause we might get a cloud today.

I cannot believe that the fate of the world may well be in the hands of this...

teen thing.

Relax, the worlds in beauty hands.

Trust me.
