Kyle: Oh, look. It's Buffy and all her friends.
Buffy: That's a witty.
Tor: Do you ever wonder why nobody cool wants to hang out with you?
Buffy: Just thankful. |
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting...
Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!
Buffy: And I missed it. Yet somehow I'll find the courage to live on.
|
Willow: Where were you?
Buffy: Uh, I was looking at the fishes.
Willow: Was it cool?
Buffy: It was fishes. |
| Rhonda: Hey, does your mom still pick out your lice, or are you old enough to do that yourself now? |
Mr. Flutie: What's going on here? I've had it up to here with you four! What're you doing?
Kyle: Nothing.
Mr. Flutie: Did I ask you to speak? Okay, I guess I did, but I want the truth.
|
Kyle: Come on, we're gonna check out the Hyena House.
Lance: But I think it's off-limits.
Kyle: And therein, my friend, lies the fun. |
Willow: What are Kyle and his buds doing with Lance?
Xander: Oh, playing with him as a cat plays with a mouse. |
Buffy: What is it with those guys?
Willow: They're obnoxious. Professionally.
Xander: Well, every school has 'em. So, you start a new school, you get your desks, some blackboards and some mean kids.
|
Zookeeper: Oh, hold it, hold it, are you blind, or are you just illiterate? Because hyenas are very quick to prey on the weak.
Buffy: Oh, w-we were just gonna take...
Zookeeper: You're not going in there. Anyone that does is in a world of trouble.
|
Buffy: Why is it off-limits?
Zookeeper: It's a quarantine. These hyenas just came in from Africa, so keep out. Even if they call your name.
Buffy: What are you talking about?
Zookeeper: The Masai tribesmen told me that hyenas are capable of understanding human speech. They follow humans around by day, learning their names. At night, when the campfire dies, they call out to a person. Once they separate him, the pack devours them.
|
| Xander: Why don't you pick on somebody your own species? |
Willow: I thought Xander would be here by now.
Buffy: Hmm, that'd make him on time. We couldn't have that! |
Buffy: I didn't notice anything. But then again I'm not as hyperaware of him as, oh, say, for example, you.
Willow: Hyperaware?
Buffy: Well, I'm not constantly monitoring his health, his moods, his blood pressure...
Willow: 130 over 80!
Buffy: You got it bad, girl!
|
Willow: He makes my head go tingly. You know what I mean?
Buffy: I dimly recall.
Willow: But it hasn't happened to you lately?
Buffy: Not of late.
Willow: Not even for a dangerous and mysterious older man whose leather jacket you're wearing right now?
Buffy: Goes with the shoes!
|
Willow: Come on, Angel pushes your buttons. You know he does.
Buffy: I suppose some girls might find him good looking...if they have eyes, alright, he's a honey, but...it's just he's never around, and when he is, all he wants to do is talk about vampires, and...I, I just can't have a relationship...
|
Xander: Girls!
Buffy: Boy!
Xander: Sorry I'm late, I...just forgot that we were gonna be here. |
Xander: What is this crap?
Buffy: Well, it was my buttery croissant.
Xander: Man, I need some food! Birds live on this! |
Buffy: What's up with you?
Willow: Is something wrong? Did I do something?
Xander: What could you possibly do? That's crazy talk. I'm just...restless.
|
Xander: You took a bath.
Buffy: Yeah, I-I often do, I'm actually known for it.
Xander: That's okay.
Buffy: And the weird behavior award goes to...
|
| Buffy: Oh, great. It's the winged monkeys. |
Kyle: Y'know, I don't understand why you're sitting at our table.
Rhonda: Yeah, shouldn't you be hovering over the football stadium with "Goodyear" written on you?
|
Giles: Right! That's enough training for one day.
Buffy: Well, that last roundhouse was kinda sloppy. Are you sure you don't wanna do it again?
Giles: No! No, no, that's fine. You just...run along to class. While I wait for the feeling to return to my arms.
|
Buffy: He's so cute!
Mr. Flutie: He's not cute. No! He's a fierce Razorback!
Buffy: He doesn't look mean, Mr. Flutie. |
Xander: Why do I need to learn this?
Willow: 'Cause otherwise you'll flunk math?
Xander: Explain the part where that's bad. |
| Willow: You remember, you fail math, you flunk out of school, you end up being the guy at the pizza place that sweeps the floor and says, "Hey, kids, where's the cool parties this weekend?" We've been through this.
|
| Mr. Flutie: See, the problem is you kids today have no school spirit. Hold on, let me get his outfit off. Today it's all gangs and drugs and those movies on Showtime with the nudity. I don't have cable, I only heard. When I was your age we cared about the school's reputation and the football team's record, all that stuff! Of course, when I was your age I was surrounded by old guys telling me how much better things were when they were my age.
|
| Coach Harrold: Alright, it's raining, all regular gym classes have been postponed, so you know what that means: Dodgeball! Now, for those of you that may have forgotten, the rules are as follows...you dodge.
|
| Coach Harrold: God, this game is brutal. I love it! |
Willow: Xander...What's wrong with you?
Xander: I guess you've noticed that I've been different around you lately.
Willow: Yes.
Xander: I think, um...I think it's because my feelings for you have been changing. And, well, we've been friends for such a long time that I feel like I need to tell you something. I've, um...I've decided to drop geometry. So I won't be needing your math help anymore. Which means I won't have to look at your pasty face again.
|
Boy#1: Hey. Hey, what are you guys...
Rhonda: Shut up.
Kyle: You're sharing.
Xander: Friends like to share. Good?
Tor: It's too well-done. |
| Xander: Let's do lunch. |
Buffy: I think something's wrong with him.
Willow: Or maybe there's something wrong with me.
Buffy: What are you talking about?
Willow: C'mon. He's not picking on you. He's just sniffing you a lot. I don't know, maybe three isn't company anymore.
|
Buffy: You think this has something to do with me?
Willow: Of course.
Buffy: No. That still doesn't explain why he's hanging out with the dode patrol. Something's going on. Something weird.
Willow: What're you gonna do?
Buffy: Talk to the expert on weird.
|
Giles: Xander's taken to teasing the less fortunate?
Buffy: Uh-huh.
Giles: And, there's been a noticeable change in both clothing and demeanor?
Buffy: Yes.
Giles: And, well, otherwise all his spare time is spent lounging about with imbeciles.
Buffy: It's bad, isn't it.
Giles: It's devastating. He's turned into a sixteen-year-old boy. Course, you'll have to kill him.
|
Buffy: Giles, I'm serious.
Giles: So am I. Except for the part about killing him. Testosterone is a great equalizer. It turns all men into morons. He will, however, get over it.
Buffy: I cannot believe that you, of all people, are trying to Scully me. There is something supernatural at work here. Get your books! Look stuff up!
|
Giles: The evidence that you've presented me with is sketchy at best.
Buffy: He scared the pig. Well, he did... |
Giles: Buffy, boys can be cruel. They tease, they, they, they prey on the weak. I-i-it's natural teen behavior pattern.
Buffy: What did you just say?
Giles: Um, they tease.
Buffy: They prey on the weak. I've heard that somewhere bef...Xander has been acting totally wiggy ever since we went to the zoo. Him and Kyle and all those guys, they went into the hyena cage. Oh, God, that laugh...
Giles: You're saying that, uh, Xander's becoming a hyena.
|
Willow: Herbert! They found him.
Buffy: The pig?
Willow: Dead. And also eaten. Principal Flutie's freaking out.
Buffy: Testosterone, huh?
|
Willow: What're you gonna do?
Giles: Get my books. Look stuff up. |
Mr. Flutie: Oh, don't think I don't know. Three kids saw you outside Herbert's room. You're busted! Yeah! You're goin' down.
Rhonda: How is Herbert?
Heidi: Crunchy!
|
| Mr. Flutie: You're gonna have so much detention, your grandchildren'll be staying after school. |
Buffy: Wow! Apparently Noah rejected the hyenas from the Ark because he thought they were an evil impure mixture of dogs and cats.
Willow: Hyenas aren't well liked.
Buffy: They do seem to be the schmoes of the animal kingdom.
|
| Willow: Why couldn't Xander be possessed by a puppy or, or some ducks? |
| Giles: The Masai of the Serengeti have spoken of animal possession for, for generations. I...I should have remembered that. |
| Giles: Well, apparently there's a, a sect of animal worshipers known as Primals. They believe that humanity, uh, consciousness, uh, the soul, is a, is a perversion, a dilution of spirit. Uh, to them the animal state is holy. They are able, through trans-possession, to, to, um, draw the spirit of certain animals into themselves.
|
Buffy: So, what happens to the person once the spirit's in them?
Giles: If it goes unchecked... |
Buffy: This is ridiculous. We need to talk.
Xander: Been waitin' for you to jump my bones. |
| Mr. Flutie: I have seen some sick things in my life! Believe me! But this is beyond the pale! What is it with you people? Is it drugs? How could you? A poor defenseless pig? What are you doing?
|
Buffy: Get off of me.
Xander: Is that what you really want? We both know what you really want. You want danger, don't cha?
You like your men dangerous.
Buffy: You're in trouble, Xander. You are infected with some hyena thing, it's like a demonic possession!
Xander: Dangerous and mean, right? Like Angel. Your Mystery Guy. Well, guess who just got mean.
|
| Xander: Do you know how long...I've waited...until you'd stop pretending that we aren't attracted...Until Willow...stops kidding herself...that I could settle with anyone but you?
|
Buffy: Look, Xander, I don't wanna hurt you...
Xander: Now do you wanna hurt me? Come on, Slayer. I like it when you're scared. The more I scare you, the better you smell.
|
| Mr. Flutie: You're about this close to expulsion, people! I'm willing to talk to the school counselor, and we can discuss options...Get down from there this instant! Are you insane?!
|
Buffy: Hurry up. We gotta get him locked up somehow before he comes to.
Willow: Oh, my God, Xander! What happened?
Buffy: I hit him.
Willow: With what?
Buffy: A desk.
|
Buffy: He tried his hand at felony sexual assault.
Willow: Oh, Buffy, the hyena in him didn't...
Buffy: No. No, but it's safe to say that in his animal state his idea of wooing doesn't involve a Yanni CD and a bottle of Chianti.
|
Giles: The rest of the pack were spotted outside Herbert the mascot's cage. They were sent to the principal's office.
Willow: Good! That'll show 'em. Did it show 'em?
Buffy: They didn't hurt him, did they?
Giles: They, uh...ate him.
Buffy: They ate Principal Flutie?
Willow: Ate him up?
Giles: The, uh, official theory is that wild dogs got into his office somehow. There was no one at the scene.
|
Giles: I-I'm afraid I still don't have all the pieces. Um, the accounts of the Primals and their methods are a bit thin on the ground. There is some talk of a-a-a predatory act, but the exact ritual is, is, um...The Malleus Maleficarum deals in particulars of demonic possession, which...may apply...Yes, one, one should be able to transfer the spirits to another human.
Buffy: Oh, that's great. Any volunteers?
Giles: Oh. Good point.
|
Willow: How are you feeling?
Xander: Like somebody hit me with a desk. |
Xander: You guys got me locked up now.
Willow: 'Cause you're sick. Buffy said...
Xander: Oh, yeah. Buffy and her all-purpose solution: punch 'em out 'n' knock 'em down. I'd love to see what she'd do to somebody who was really sick.
|
Willow: That's not fair. Buffy saved both of our lives.
Xander: Before she came here our lives didn't need that much saving, did they? Weren't things a lot simpler when it was just you and me?
|
Zookeeper: The students have been possessed by the hyenas?
Giles: Yes.
Zookeeper: Are you sure?
Buffy: We're really, really sure.
Giles: Y-you don't seem enormously surprised by this.
|
Zookeeper: We've gotta get those possessed students over to the hyena cage right away. I'll meet you there. We can begin the rituals.
Buffy: W-well, we can guarantee one of them, but there are four more, and we have no idea where they are.
Zookeeper: No, I wouldn't worry about that. After hyenas feed and rest they will track the missing member of their pack until they find him. They should come right to you.
|
Giles: We must lead them back to the zoo if we're going to stop this.
Buffy: And before their next meal. Guess that's my job.
Giles: Well, individually they're almost as strong as you. As a group they're...
Buffy: They're tough, but I think they're getting stupider. You guys go to the zoo and I will bring them to you.
|
| Buffy: Didn't your mom teach you? Don't play with your food. |
Giles: Oh! Oh, of course, the, uh, Masai ceremonial garb. Yes... Very good. Are you, uh, otherwise prepared for the trans-possession?
Zookeeper: Almost.
Giles: Oh, right! The, uh, sacred circle. Yes, you'd need that to, um...This would be here when...when the children first came. Why would you...How terribly frustrating for you, that a bunch of school children could accomplish what you could not.
Zookeeper: It bothered me. But the power will be mine.
|
Willow: What is this?
Zookeeper: A predatory act, remember?
Willow: Uh, right. You'll pretend to slash my throat and, and put the evil in the hyenas?
Zookeeper: Something like that.
|
Willow: I heard the vice-principal's taking over till they can find a replacement.
Buffy: It shouldn't be too hard to find a new principal. Unless they ask what happened to the last one.
Xander: Okay, but I had nothing to do with that, right?
|
Willow: You only ate the pig.
Xander: I ate a pig? Was it cooked and called bacon or... |
Willow: You saved my life.
Xander: Hey! Nobody messes with my Willow.
Buffy: This is definitely the superior Xander. Accept no substitutes.
|
Giles: I've been reading up on my, uh, animal possession, and I cannot find anything anywhere about memory loss afterwards.
Xander: Did you tell them that?
Giles: Your secret dies with me.
Xander: Shoot me, stuff me, mount me.
