BUFFY: What am I supposed to do?
PRINCIPAL WOOD: Well, you did what you were supposed to do. You reported the situation to me.
BUFFY: And...
PRINCIPAL WOOD: Listen, Buffy, it's hard. Kids this age... they're hurting, they're pissed off, and they say things. Sometimes they say awful things. When I was in high school, I had a thing with this guy, right? Real bully. I kept telling everyone that he'd better sleep with one eye open 'cause I was gonna bust his ass. Well, I got suspended. Talk like that is taken pretty seriously where I come from.
BUFFY: The hood?
PRINCIPAL WOOD: Beverly Hills... which is a hood.
