Quotes 

• Principal Snyder : Absolutely not. Under no circumstances.

  Joyce Summers : But... you can't keep her out of school. You don't have the right.

  Principal Snyder : I have not only the right, but also a nearly physical sensation of pleasure at the thought of keeping her out of school. I'd describe myself as tingly.

  Joyce Summers : Buffy was cleared of all those charges.

  Principal Snyder : Yes, and while she may live up to the not-a-murderer requirement for enrollment, she is a troublemaker, destructive to school property and the occasional student. And her grade point average is enough to... I'm sorry. Another tingle moment.

• Rupert Giles : You can't keep her out of this school.

  Principal Snyder : I think you'll find I can.

  Rupert Giles : You had no grounds for expelling her.

  Principal Snyder : I have grounds, I have precedent... and a tingly kind of feeling.

  Rupert Giles : Buffy Summers is a minor and is entitled to a public education. Your personal dislike of the girl doesn't legally entitle you to...

  Principal Snyder : Why don't you take it up with the city council?

  Rupert Giles : I thought I'd start wit the state Supreme Court... You're powerful in local circles, but I believe I can make life very difficult for you, professionally speaking... And Buffy will be allowed back in.

  Principal Snyder : Sorry. I'm not convinced.

  [Synder starts to leave and Giles grabs him then slams and holds him against file cabinets] 

  Rupert Giles : Would you like me to convince you?
