Buffy: Can e-mail be traced? from I Robot, You Jane (Season 1) | Next Clip in Episode |
BUFFY: I wanted to ask you something if you have a minute.
Dave: What is it?
BUFFY: Well, you're a computer geek... genius, and, uh, I sort of have a technical problem. If I wanted to find out something about someone, i- if someone e-mailed me, could I trace the letter?
Dave: Well, you could pull up somebody's profile based on their user name.
BUFFY: But they write the profile themselves, right? And so they could say anything they wanted.
Dave: True.
BUFFY: Wow! I had knowledge! Well, is there a way to find out exactly where a letter, an e-letter came from? I mean, the actual location of the computer?
Dave: (considers) That's a challenge.
BUFFY: 'Cause, you see, Willow's got this boyfriend, Malcolm, and to tell you the truth, I think...
Dave: (interrupts, annoyed) Leave Willow alone.
BUFFY: What do you mean?
Dave: (insistently) That's none of your business.
BUFFY: Dave, are you Malcolm?
Dave: Of course not.
BUFFY: Dave, what's going on?
Dave: Look, I'll talk to you later, okay? I've got work to do.
BUFFY: So do I.
