DAWN: I just wanted to tell you that Buffy won't be coming in today. She's really sick.
PRINCIPAL WOOD: Oh, no.
DAWN: Yeah, last night she was vomiting, and then this morning she was vomiting some more, and then, just when we thought she was done, she was vomiting again.
PRINCIPAL WOOD: Yeah, we got that stomach flu going around.
DAWN: Her exact words were, "I've got stuff coming out of both ends."
PRINCIPAL WOOD: Thank you. That's very helpful.
DAWN: Sure. No problem. (to kids) Hey, guys. How's it going?
PUNK #2: Pretty good.
PRINCIPAL WOOD: Um, tell your sister not to worry about it. We'll soldier on without her here. Just, um, tell her to concentrate on getting better.
DAWN: Yeah, she'll be fine. She just needs to get some stuff out of her system.
