The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter - Monday, February 8th

Eddie: 'Of Human Bondage.' Have you ever read it?
Buffy: Oh, I'm not really into porn... I mean I'm just... I'm trying to cut way back.
Eddie: (Laughs.) No, there's no actual bondage, it's just a novel. I've read it, like, ten times. I always keep it by my bed... security blanket.
Buffy: I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.
Eddie: Mr. Pointy?
Buffy: Oh, bike path. So it's nice to know that I'm not the only entirely confused person on this campus.
