BUFFY: There's this student missing.

GILES: Yes?

BUFFY: Eddie. He's supposed to have left school but... I just don't think he did. I met him outside last night, and then I went back where we met, and it looked there had been a struggle.

GILES: And?

BUFFY: And we need to stop this! And Eddie's RA said kids disappear a lot. There could be a gang of vampires working the campus. We need research, an-an-and charts and stuff.

GILES: I-I still don't see where I fit in. You haven't described anything that you can't do yourself.

BUFFY: Ok, remember before you became Hugh Hefner when you used to be a watcher?

GILES: Officially you no longer have a watcher. Buffy, you know I'll always be hear when you need me. Y-your safety is more important to me than anything but, you're going to have to take care of yourself. You're out of school and I can't always be there to guide you.

BUFFY: I'm sorry to bug you.

GILES: Buffy, I...

BUFFY: Oh! No! I mean yeah, you're... you're right. I can handle it. It's just that... I'm on it.

GILES: I-I'm here if you need me.
