chatting with the Zookeeper from The Pack (Season 1) | Next Clip in Episode |
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: The zoo imported those hyenas from Africa. There was something strange about them from day one. I did some homework... That particular breed is very rare. Totally vicious. Historically they were worshipped by these guys...
GILES: Primals.
Zookeeper: Yeah! Creepy guys! Now, they had rituals for taking the hyena spirits, but I-I don't see how that coulda happened to your kids.
GILES: Uh, we don't know exactly how the ritual works. We know that it involves a, um, um... predatory act and some kind of symbol.
Zookeeper: Predatory act? Of course. That makes sense. Where did you read that?
GILES: Do you have Sherman Jeffries' work on, on cults and on...
BUFFY: (impatiently) Boys?
GILES: Sorry.
Zookeeper: Look.
GILES: Sorry.
Zookeeper: Look. I think we may have enough information so that together we could pull off a reverse trans-possession.
BUFFY: What do we do?
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.
BUFFY: (worried) Willow!
