Buffy the Vampire Slayer · Season 2, Episode 1

Principal Snyder and Giles in “When She Was Bad”

Principal Snyder

The first day back. It always gets me.

Giles

Yes.

Principal Snyder

I mean, it's incredible. One day the campus is completely bare. Empty. The next, there are children everywhere. Like locusts. Crawling around, mindlessly bent on feeding and mating. Destroying everything in sight in their relentless, pointless desire to exist.

Giles

I do enjoy these pep talks. Have you ever considered, given your abhorrence of children, school principal was not, perhaps, your true vocation?

[Giles sees Jenny and starts talking to her ignoring Snyder]

Principal Snyder

Somebody's got to keep an eye on them. They're just a bunch of hormonal time bombs. You think they're thinking about learning? Every time a pretty girl walks by every boy turns into a bumbling idiot. I try to teach them the important things in life. Discipline. Respect. Punctuality. I might as well be talking to myself.

[Snyder doesn't notice that Giles has left]
