Buffy Season 1, Episode 5: Guest Lecture
.
Buffy and Willow are standing on UC-Sunnydale's campus, reading a note posted on the door of one of the halls.
Willow:Reading Due to the absence of most of the student body and professors, your regularly-scheduled classes are canceled until further notice. Instead we will be having a series of guest lectures. Tonight's will be given by Renata, who has come to town to speak about the merits of Professional graduate degrees, such as J.D.s, M.Ds, and M.B.A.s
Buffy: Who cares about graduate school. At this rate, we won't even have to worry about finals. Besides, I've already got a profession: Slayer. It doesn't leave much time for anything else.
Wilow: No, we should go. I remember a Slayer once said that being a Slayer wasn't a profession, it was who you were, a calling. Besides, its only supposed to be half an hour. 11:30 tonight.
Buffy: Fine, I'll be there, unless hell should bar the way.
Buffy and Willow head off as a full moon is framed by the buildings behind them. Cue opening credits.
Buffy and Willow enter and take their seats in a large lecture hall. It is vacant except for them, a professor at Renata
Professor: Um.. uh.. Thank you all for coming. Now it is my great pleasure to introduce Renata, who I'm sure has done some great and important things ... Screw it, I'm getting out of here.
Professor runs out of the hall. Shortly thereafter, we hear the sound of a car pulling away.
Renata: Thank you Professor Watkins for that introduction. Now, as I'm sure you're all aware, I am a highly successful professional in Los Angeles. If you think money can't buy you happiness, just look at the smile on my face. But in order to get where I am today ---
Renata is drowned out by the sound of a howl. A werewolf comes tearing into the classroom and starts mauling Renata. Buffy jumps up and pulls the lycanthrope off of Renata. They struggle for a while, and then the werewolf manages to break free and escape. Buffy gives chase, as WIllow goes to see if Renata's still alive. Based on the ripped-out throat, the answer is no.
Later, the Summers residence. Buffy and Willow are eating ice cream.
Willow: Did you get the werewolf.
Buffy: I think I can say that I got the situation under control. I really liked that guest lecture. It was short, to the point, and had a surprise ending. Maybe I should consider law school.
Phase ends in just under 23 hours
