bully

"Why, in my day, we felt nothing of castrating the new boys. I want you to stop this nonsense Hopkins."
Dr. Crabblesnitch

The Setup is a mission during Chapter I. It is the first boss fight mission in Bully.

Mission

Intro

The mission starts when Jimmy is being lectured by Dr. Crabblesnitch about Jimmy's fighting. Jimmy explains this is because of the amount of bullies the school has. Dr. Crabblesnitch says it's only 'school spirit' and that when he was at school bullying the new kid was normal.

After Dr. Crabblesnitch leaves, Jimmy is confronted by Davis, who accuses Jimmy of being a teacher's pet. Jimmy denies this, but Davis attacks Jimmy with his slingshot which prompts Jimmy to chase him.

Walkthrough

Don't let Davis escape or the mission will fail.

Running at top speed, Jimmy chases Davis behind the school building, where Davis knocks Pete over. Pete directs Jimmy towards the Auto Repair Shop. Outside the Auto Repair Shop gates, he's attacked by Wade. The game instructs the player to shove Wade into a trashcan and provides a tutorial on how to do so, although Wade can just be fought as normal instead.

After dealing with Wade, Jimmy has to open the gates. He must then make his way through the buildings and parking lots of the shop, fending off Trent, Ethan, Tom, and Wade again. Davis takes refuge on a platform made of scrap wood and old barrels, kicking the ladder down so Jimmy can't use it.

Boss Fight

Although he only takes a few hits to defeat, Davis has a large health bar at the top of the screen, and for that reason can be considered a boss.

Davis fires at Jimmy with the slingshot. There isn't much strategy to avoiding it, although by keeping his distance and running Jimmy may avoid the shots. The closer he is, the more difficult the shots are to dodge. If Jimmy picks up a garbage can lid, he can use it to block the shots.

To win the fight, Jimmy has to knock Davis off the platform. The ground in front of them is littered with loose bricks and a few garbage can lids. These can be thrown at Davis. Alternately, if Jimmy has firecrackers in his inventory, he can throw them at Davis. After three hits with the brick and lids or two hits with the firecrackers, Davis' platform crumbles and he falls to the ground. Jimmy takes the slingshot for his own.

Deleted Content

Leftover data in the game reveals that the original enemies Jimmy would've fought were the Greasers instead of the Bullies, with Lucky being the one to provoke Jimmy with a slingshot rather than Davis, which is probably why the reason why the mission still takes place in the Auto Repair Shop. The mission would've been started inside the school, as opposed to outside the school in the final game as evidenced by the game's trailer showing that the intro for the mission took place in the now deleted third floor of ths school. Audio of background chattering can still be heard during the mission, which further proves this.

Transcript

The Setup
Jimmy goes in front of the main building and meets with Dr. Crabblesnitch.
Dr. Crabblesnitch: You seem to be making yourself quite comfortable here my boy.
Jimmy: I'm just trying to fit in.
Dr. Crabblesnitch: By fighting? By making a nuisance of yourself? That is not the Bullworth way boy.
Jimmy: Yeah, you could've fooled me.
Dr. Crabblesnitch: What?
Jimmy: I said you could have fooled me. This place is full of bullies and maniacs.
Dr. Crabblesnitch: Nonsense. That's just school spirit. High jinks. Why, in my day, we felt nothing of castrating the new boys. I want you to stop this nonsense Hopkins, I want you to behave yourself. You might learn something.
Jimmy: Fine. Can I go now? Sir.
Dr. Crabblesnitch: On your way.
As Dr. Crabblesnitch walks away from the scene, Davis appears from behind a pillar, right in front of the main building, armed with a slingshot in his left hand.
Davis: Hey - I saw you sucking up to Crabblesnitch.
Jimmy: What? Shut up.
Davis: Screw you new kid! This is what we do to teachers' pets around here.
Jimmy: You better not... ow!
As Jimmy shouted in his last line, he was hit by a stone coming from Davis' slingshot. During the next two lines, Jimmy can be seen chasing after Davis.
Jimmy: Come here you little...
Davis: Yeah, come and get me.
Jimmy chases after Davis, who jumps over a banister to the east of the main building. Jimmy jumps right after him. Davis may say one of three possible lines at this point.
Davis:
  • Hahaha... whatcha gonna do?
  • You're a wimp, new kid.
  • How'd you like a little slingshot, tough guy?
Jimmy keeps on chasing after Davis, as he keeps on running to the back of the main building, towards the fountain. On his way, he knocks down Pete, who is carrying a textbook.
Pete: I saw him, he ran towards the fountain.
Jimmy keeps on running after Davis, who goes past the fountain to the west, entering the autoshop area. He closes the gate behind him, leaving Wade to deal with Jimmy.
Wade: I'll get him.
Jimmy may deal with Wade by throwing him in the nearby garbage bin. Then Jimmy runs towards the gate in order to open it. Davis keeps on running ahead of Jimmy. Once again, he may use one of the three aforementioned possible lines.
Jimmy keeps on running, reaching a closed garage door, where he must confront Trent.
Davis: This kid won't let up. Hurt him!
After dealing with Trent, Jimmy opens the closed garage door. Upon entering the garage, he sees yet another door to the other side, that is being closed right at that time by Davis. Jimmy must now confront Ethan.
Ethan: Get the new kid! Beat him down!
After confronting Ethan, Jimmy opens the garage door. He encounters Tom and Wade, and they must be dealt with. Davis will now say one of three possible lines.
Davis:
  • Doesn't seem like such a good idea now, does it?
  • Funny, you don't look so tough now.
  • Hey guys, let's teach this new kid a lesson.
Once the two Bullies are dealt with, Jimmy now focuses on Davis, who is on top of a makeshift barricade. He got on top of it by using a ladder. If Jimmy approaches him, he will push off the ladder, leading to an extra line.
Davis: You can't reach me up here moron.
As Jimmy keeps on going around Davis, he has to take him down by using either bricks or garbage can lids, both of which can be found on the ground. Alternatively, Jimmy may use other weapons from his inventory as well, such as firecrackers. Davis will anxiously say two lines.
Davis:
  • Hey, stay away from me...
  • What are you crazy or something?
Rarely, when hitting Davis with a brick, he may say a quote.
Davis: That wasn't funny.
Once Jimmy hits Davis enough times, he will lose his balance and fall off from the barricade, leading to its destruction.
Davis: Whoah!
Davis will be lying on the ground next to the remnants of the barricade, as Jimmy grabs his slingshot. The mission concludes at this point.
