00:00She is the Slayer.
00:19May I cut in?
00:30You all right?
00:39Thanks to you.
00:43You hurt your hand.
00:46Will you still be able to...
00:47Finish my solo and kiss you like you've never been kissed before?
00:50I don't know.
00:53I don't know.
01:00I don't know.
01:29You're drooling.
01:40Xander.
01:42You've got a little...
01:45Their ancestors were here long before we were.
01:49Their progeny will be here long after we are gone.
01:53The simple and ubiquitous ant.
01:55Now, if you read the homework, you should know the two ways that ants communicate.
02:08Miss Summers.
02:14Ways that ants communicate.
02:15With other ants.
02:22From the homework, ants are communicating...
02:25Um, uh, uh, touch and, um, B.O.?
02:40Thank God someone finally found the courage to mention that.
02:45That would be touch and smell, Miss Summers.
02:49Is there anything else Ms. Rosenberg would like to tell you?
02:57All right, chapter six through eight.
02:59By tomorrow, people.
03:00Can I see you for a moment?
03:07I gather you had a few problems at your last school?
03:10Well, what teenager doesn't?
03:13Cut school, get in fights, burn down the gymnasium.
03:17Principal Flutie showed me your permanent record.
03:22Well, that fire, there was major extenuating circumstances.
03:27Actually, it's kind of funny.
03:30I can't wait to see what you're gonna do here.
03:34Destructo girl, that's me.
03:37But I suspect it's gonna be great.
03:39You mean great in a bad way.
03:42You have a first-rate in mind, and you can think on your feet.
03:48Imagine what you could accomplish if you actually did the...
03:51The homework thing.
03:54The homework thing.
03:56I understand you probably have a good excuse for not doing it.
04:01Amazingly enough, I don't care.
04:04I know you can excel in this class, and so I expect no less.
04:09Is that clear?
04:12Yeah.
04:14Sorry.
04:15Don't be sorry.
04:16Be smart.
04:20And please don't listen to the principal or anyone else's negative opinion about you.
04:26Let's make them eat that permanent record.
04:30What do you say?
04:33Okay.
04:36Thanks.
04:36Thanks.
04:40Chapter six through eight.
05:00Thanks.
05:00Thanks.
05:01Thanks.
05:01Thanks.
05:01Thanks.
05:01Thanks.
05:04Thanks.
05:04Thanks.
05:06What?
05:36What?
07:06The first day it's the worst day, it's hard to know just what to do.
07:13I'll take you to dinner, you don't eat, you just play with me too.
07:19Then there's something familiar that every word you say is hard to believe.
07:31I already made you, I already made you.
07:43Seven, including Cheryl.
07:47I'll tell you though, her sister was looking to make it eight.
07:50Ooh, Cheryl's sister, the one in college, going for the holidays and looking for love.
07:57She's not my type though.
07:59Girls really gotta have something to go with me.
08:01Something like a lobotomy?
08:02Sam, how many times you scored?
08:08Well, it's just a question.
08:13Are we talking today or the whole week?
08:16Ooh, duty calls.
08:24Babe!
08:29What are you doing?
08:31Work with me here.
08:32Blaine had the nerve to question my manliness.
08:34I'm just gonna give him a visual.
08:35We'll show him.
08:42I don't believe him.
08:43I know, and after all my conquests.
08:48Who's that?
08:49That must be Angel.
08:51I think.
08:52That weird guy that wondered about all the vampires?
08:55That's him, I'll bet you.
08:58Well, he's buff.
08:59She never said anything about him being buff.
09:02You think he's buff?
09:03He's a very attractive man.
09:05How come that never came up?
09:09Well, look who's here.
09:11What?
09:12I'd say it's nice to see you, but then we both know that's a big fib.
09:17That won't be long.
09:18No, you'll just give me a cryptic warning about some exciting new catastrophe and then disappear
09:24until the night.
09:25Right?
09:26You're cold.
09:27You can take it.
09:29Me look cold.
09:36Oh, right.
09:38Give her your jacket.
09:40It's a balmy night.
09:40No one needs to be trading clothing out there.
09:43Don't think on me.
09:44What happened?
09:50I didn't pay attention.
09:52To somebody with a big fork?
09:54He's coming.
09:56The fork guy.
09:57Don't let him corner you.
10:00Don't give him a moment's mercy.
10:04We'll rip your throat out.
10:05Okay.
10:07I'll give you improved marks for that one.
10:09Ripping the third out.
10:10It's a strong visual.
10:11It's not cryptic.
10:14I have to go.
10:20Sweet dreams to you, too.
10:21That's all he said?
10:30Fork guy?
10:32That's all cryptic guy said.
10:33Fork guy.
10:35I think there are too many guys in your life.
10:37Okay.
10:39Let's see what I can find out.
10:42God, every day here is the same.
10:44Bright, sunny, beautiful.
10:46However, can we escape this torment?
10:49Really?
10:49Good morning.
10:51Good morning.
10:52Guess what I just heard in the office?
10:54No Dr. Gregory today.
10:56Ergo, those of us who blew up our science homework
10:58aren't as dumb as we look.
11:00What happened?
11:01Is he sick?
11:01They didn't say anything about sick.
11:03Something about missing.
11:06He's missing.
11:07Well, let me think.
11:08The Trillers were modeling their new short skirts.
11:12I kind of got...
11:13Yeah.
11:14Yeah, they said missing.
11:15Which is bad.
11:20If something's wrong, yeah.
11:23He's one of the only teachers that doesn't think Buffy's a felon.
11:28I'm really sorry.
11:29I'm sure he'll...
11:30I am...
11:35Huh.
11:36Could you help me?
12:06Uh, yes.
12:09I'm looking for Science 109.
12:13Oh, it's, um...
12:16I go there every day.
12:22Oh, God, where is it?
12:25Hi.
12:27Blaine Mall.
12:28I'm going there right now.
12:30It's not far from the varsity field where I took All City last year.
12:34Oh, thank you, Blaine.
12:45It's funny how the Earth never opens up and swallows you when you want it to.
12:48What's wrong?
13:02Dr. Gregory dropped his glasses.
13:06Why wouldn't he pick them up?
13:13My name is Natalie French.
13:15I'll be substituting for Dr. Gregory.
13:18Do you know when he's coming back?
13:20No, I don't.
13:21Um, Buffy?
13:23They just call and tell me where they want me.
13:25I'll tell you where I want you.
13:29Excuse me, Blaine?
13:32Uh, I was just wondering if you were going to pick up where Dr. Gregory left off.
13:36Yes.
13:40His notes tell me you were right in the middle of insect life.
13:45The praying mantis is a fascinating creature.
13:49Forced to live alone.
13:51Who can tell me why?
13:53Buffy?
13:54Well, the words bug ugly kind of spring to mind.
14:00There is nothing ugly about these unique creatures.
14:04The reason they live alone is because they're cannibals.
14:09Oh, well, it's hardly their fault.
14:12It's the way nature designed them.
14:15Noble, solitary, and prolific.
14:18Over 1,800 species worldwide, and in nearly all of them,
14:24the female is larger and more aggressive than the male.
14:29Nothing wrong with an aggressive female.
14:34The California mantis lays her eggs
14:37and then finds a mate to fertilize them.
14:43Once he's played his part,
14:45she covers the eggs in a protective sack
14:48and attaches it to a leaf or twig out of danger.
14:53Now, if she's done her job correctly,
14:55in a few months she'll have several hundred offspring.
15:00You know,
15:02we should make some model egg sacks for the science fair.
15:06Who would like to help me do that after school?
15:09Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:15Hot dog surprise.
15:22He's still my heart.
15:24Call me old-fashioned.
15:25I don't want any more surprises than my hot dogs.
15:28I wonder what she sees in me.
15:30It's probably the quiet good looks
15:32coupled with a certain smoky magnetism.
15:36Miss French,
15:38you two are probably a little too young
15:39to understand what an older woman would say in a younger man.
15:42Oh, I understand.
15:44Good.
15:45A younger man is too dumb to wonder
15:47why an older woman can't find someone her own age
15:50and too desperate to care about the surgical improvements.
15:53What surgical improvements?
15:55Well, he is young
15:57and so terribly innocent.
15:59Hey, those that can do,
16:03those that can't laugh
16:05at those who can do.
16:08Got to carve up for my one-on-one
16:10with Miss French today.
16:11When's yours?
16:12All right, tomorrow.
16:14You came in second,
16:16I came in first.
16:18Guess that's what they call
16:19a natural selection.
16:22Guess it's what they call a rehearsal.
16:25Rehearsal.
16:26Excuse you.
16:33Medically prescribed lunch.
16:35My doctor ships it daily.
16:36I'll only be here
16:37as long as I can hold my breath.
16:45His head!
16:46His head!
16:47Oh, my God!
16:47Where's his head?
16:48His head!
16:56His head!
16:57His head!
16:58His head!
16:59His head!
17:00His head!
17:01His head!
17:02Here.
17:03Drink this.
17:04No, thank you.
17:05I've never seen...
17:06I mean...
17:07I've never seen anything like...
17:10That was new.
17:11Who'd want to hurt Dr. Gregory?
17:13Uh...
17:14He didn't have any enemies
17:15on the staff that I'm aware of.
17:17He was a civilized man.
17:19I liked him.
17:20So did I.
17:22Well, we're gonna find out who did this.
17:24We'll find them and we'll stop them.
17:26Count on it.
17:27What do we know?
17:28Um, not a lot.
17:29Um...
17:30He was killed on campus.
17:31I'm guessing the last day we saw him.
17:33How do you work that out?
17:34He didn't change his clothing.
17:35This is a question that no one particularly wants to hear.
17:36But...
17:37Where do they put his head?
17:38Good point.
17:39I didn't want to hear that.
17:40Angel.
17:41He wore me too.
17:42I'm sure he didn't want to hear that.
17:43Angel.
17:44He wore me too.
17:45And I'm sure you did this.
17:46We'll find them and we'll stop them.
17:47Count on it.
17:48What do we know?
17:49Not a lot.
17:50Um, he was killed on campus.
17:51I'm guessing the last day we saw him.
17:52How do you work that out?
17:53He didn't change his clothing.
17:54This is a question that no one particularly wants to hear.
17:55But...
17:56Where do they put his head?
17:57Good point.
17:59I didn't want to hear that.
18:01Angel.
18:03He warned me that something was coming.
18:06Yes. Yes, he did, didn't he? I wish I knew what he meant.
18:10I've been trying to gather more information about the master, our local vampire king.
18:16There was one oblique reference to a vampire who displeased the master and cut his hand off in penance.
18:23Cut off his hand and replaced it with a fork?
18:26I don't know what he replaced it with.
18:28So why would he come after a teacher?
18:30I'm not certain he did.
18:31There was an incident two nights ago involving a homeless person in Weatherly Park.
18:40It was practically shredded, but nothing like Dr. Gregory.
18:46The work guy doesn't do heads.
18:48Not historically.
18:50And Dr. Gregory's blood wasn't drained.
18:52So there's something else out there besides silverware men?
18:57Oh, this is fun. We're on Monster Island.
18:59We're on a hellmouth.
19:01It's a center of mystical convergence.
19:05I guess it's the same thing.
19:07Well, unpleasant things do gravitate here, it's true.
19:10But we don't know there's anything besides this chap.
19:13He's still our likely suspect.
19:16Where was that guy killed?
19:17Weatherly Park?
19:18Buffy.
19:20I know you're upset, but this is no time to go hunting.
19:23Not until we know more.
19:24Please promise me we won't do anything rash.
19:28Cross my heart.
19:29I know you're upset.
19:29I know you're upset.
19:30I know you're upset.
19:30I know you're upset.
19:30I know you're upset.
19:31I know you're upset.
19:31I know you're upset.
19:31I know you're upset.
19:32I know you're upset.
19:32I know you're upset.
19:33I know you're upset.
19:33I know you're upset.
19:34I know you're upset.
19:34I know you're upset.
19:35I know you're upset.
19:35I know you're upset.
19:36I know you're upset.
19:36I know you're upset.
19:37I know you're upset.
19:37I know you're upset.
19:38I know you're upset.
19:38I know you're upset.
19:39I know you're upset.
19:40I know you're upset.
19:41I know you're upset.
19:42I know you're upset.
19:43I know you're upset.
19:44Let's go.
20:14You shouldn't be out here at night, little lady. It's dangerous.
20:44Let's go.
21:14Let's go.
21:44Let's go.
21:45Hold it.
21:46Please.
21:47See that?
21:48I got something to do.
21:51I heard him. Spread out.
21:53Let's go over here. This way. This way.
21:57All right, Frankie.
21:58All right.
22:00All right, Frankie.
22:01All right.
22:03All right.
22:07All right.
22:14Let's go.
22:44Let's go.
23:14Oh. Well, at least you're not hurt.
23:19And I saw something else.
23:20Something much more interesting than your average run-of-the-mill killer vampire.
23:25Oh?
23:26Do you know Miss French, the teacher that's subbing for Dr. Gregory?
23:29Yes, yes, she's lovely.
23:31Well, in a common, extremely well-proportioned way.
23:35Well, I'm chasing claw guy last night, and Miss Well-Proportioned is heading home.
23:41Well, claw guy takes one look at her and runs screaming for cover.
23:44He what?
23:46Ran away?
23:47He was petrified.
23:49Of Miss French?
23:50Uh-huh.
23:51So, I'm an undead monster that can shave with my hand.
23:56How many things am I afraid of?
23:58Not many, and not substitute teachers as a rule.
24:01So, what's her deal?
24:03I think perhaps it would be a good idea if we kept an eye on her.
24:07And I better get to class.
24:08You were there.
24:16You saw Dr. Gregory, didn't you?
24:18Um, you mean yesterday in the cafeteria when we found him?
24:22Don't say dead, or decapitated, or decomposing.
24:25I'd stay away from D-words altogether.
24:27But you witnessed the event, so this way, please.
24:29Well, no, I'm gonna be late for biology.
24:31Extremely late.
24:32You have to see a counselor.
24:34Everyone who saw the body has to see a crisis counselor.
24:37But I really don't...
24:38We all need help with our feelings.
24:41Otherwise, we bottle them up,
24:42and before you know it, powerful laxatives are involved.
24:45I really believe if we all reach out to one another,
24:49we can beat this thing.
24:50I'm always here if you need a hug, but not a real hug,
24:54because there's no touching.
24:55We're sensitive to wrong touching.
24:57But I really, really don't...
24:58No.
24:59You have to talk to a counselor and start the healing.
25:02You have to heal.
25:03No, Mr. Flutti, I don't...
25:04Heal.
25:05I don't know what to say.
25:13It was really, I mean, one minute you're in your normal life,
25:17and then who's in the fridge?
25:19It really gets to you a thing like that.
25:21It was...
25:23Let's just say I haven't been able to eat a thing since yesterday.
25:29I think I lost like seven and a half ounces.
25:32Way swifter than that so-called die that quack put me on.
25:35Oh, I'm not saying that we should kill a teacher every day
25:39just so I can lose weight.
25:40I'm just saying when tragedy strikes,
25:44we have to look on the bright side.
25:46You know?
25:47Like how even used Mercedes still have leather seats.
25:52Keep your eyes straight ahead on your own test.
25:56I think you meant pollination for number 14.
26:15I'll see you here after school.
26:17Oh, great.
26:22A pop quiz.
26:39No, I'm not saying she craned her neck.
26:42We are talking full-on exorcist twist.
26:45Ouch.
26:47Which reminds me,
26:48how come Blaine, who worked with her one-on-one yesterday,
26:51isn't here today?
26:53Inquiring minds want to know.
26:55Any luck?
26:57Um, I've not found any creature as yet
26:59that strikes terror in a vampire's heart.
27:02Try looking under things
27:04that can turn their heads all the way around.
27:06Nothing human can do that.
27:08No, nothing human.
27:11But there are some insects that can.
27:13Whatever she is, I'm going to be ready for her.
27:19What are you going to do?
27:21My homework.
27:22Where are the books on bugs?
27:40Hi.
27:40Oh, hi.
27:42I was just grabbing a snack.
27:45Can I fix you something?
27:46No, thanks.
27:47I never eat when I'm making egg sacks.
27:51Wow.
27:52If this were real, the bugs would be...
27:53Big as you.
27:54Yeah.
27:55Mm-hmm.
27:55So, where do we start?
27:58Oh, Xander.
28:00I've done something really stupid.
28:04I hope you can forgive me.
28:06Oh, forgiveness is my middle name.
28:08Well, actually, it's Lavelle,
28:09and I'd appreciate it if you guard that secret with your life.
28:14I have a teacher's conference in half an hour,
28:17and I left the paint and paper mache at home.
28:21I don't suppose you'd like to come to my place tonight
28:26to work on it there?
28:29Come to, uh, your place.
28:357.30?
28:37Here's my address.
28:44I'll see you tonight.
28:46Yeah.
28:47Yeah.
28:47Oh, yes!
28:56Dig this.
29:22The praying mantis can rotate its head 180 degrees while waiting for its next meal to walk by.
29:29Ha!
29:33Well, come on, guys. Ha!
29:36Well, Miss French is sort of big. Fur a bug?
29:40And she is, by and large, woman-shaped.
29:43Okay. Factoid one. Only the praying mantis can rotate its head like that.
29:49Factoid two. A pretty whacked-out vampire scared to death of her.
29:53Factoid three. Her fashion sense screams predator.
29:57It's the shoulder pads.
29:59Exactly.
30:00If you're right, then she'd have to be a shapeshifter or a perception distorter.
30:04Upon a half a mile, I had a chum at Oxford, Carlisle, advanced degrees in entomology and mythology.
30:12Entom-a-who?
30:13Bugs and fairy tales.
30:16Any of that.
30:17If I recall correctly, poor old Carlisle, just before he went mad, claimed there was some beast.
30:24Buffy 911. Blaine's mom called the school. He never came home last night.
30:29The boy who worked with Miss French yesterday?
30:31Yeah. If Miss French is responsible for it, Xander's supposed to be helping her right now.
30:37He's got a crush on a giant insect.
30:40Okay. Don't panic. I'll warn him. But I need you to hack onto the coroner's office for me.
30:45Well, what are we looking for?
30:47Autopsy on Dr. Gregory. I've been trying to figure out these marks that I saw on his corpse.
30:52I'm thinking they were teeth. And, uh, these cuddlies should definitely be brushing after every meal.
30:58And you were saying something about a beast?
31:03Oh, um, yeah. I just need to make one transatlantic telephone call.
31:08Um, this computer invasion that Willow's performing on the coroner's office, one assumes it is entirely legal.
31:17Entirely?
31:18Of course.
31:19Right. Wasn't here. Didn't see it. Couldn't have stopped you.
31:24Good idea.
31:31Hey.
31:32Hey.
31:34So, how'd it go with Miss French?
31:36Oh, I was a bit demanding being her absolute favorite guy in the universe, but I'll muddle through.
31:42Xander, she's not what she seems.
31:44I know. She's so much more.
31:46Okay. Um, I'm gonna have to tell you something about her, and I'm gonna need you to really listen, okay?
31:54Okay.
31:56I don't think she's human.
31:59I see. So, if she's not human, she's...
32:02Technically, a big bug.
32:06This sounds really weird. I'm aware of this.
32:07It doesn't sound weird at all. I completely understand.
32:10I've met someone, and you're jealous.
32:13What?
32:14Look, there's nothing I can do about it.
32:15Uh, there's just a certain chemical thing between Miss French and me.
32:18I know. I read all about it.
32:20It's called, um, a pheromone.
32:22It's a chemical attractant that insects give off.
32:25She's not an insect. She's a woman, okay?
32:28And hard as that may be for you to conceive, an actual woman finds me attractive.
32:33I realize it's no mystery guy handing out leather jackets.
32:37And while we're on the subject, what kind of a girly name is Angel, anyway?
32:41Does that have to do that?
32:42Nothing. It just kind of bugs me.
32:45Look, I really gotta...
32:47What?
32:49Hi.
33:14Come on in.
33:17Should I change? Is this too...
33:20No, no. It's the most beautiful chest dress I've ever seen.
33:26Thank you. That's sweet.
33:30Martini?
33:35Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like something else?
33:38I just need to relax a little. I'm kind of nervous around you.
33:45You're probably cool as a cucumber.
33:49I like cucumbers. Like in that Greek salad thing with the yogurt.
33:53You like Greek food?
33:55I'm exempting shawarma, of course. I mean, what's that all about? It's a big meat hive.
33:59Oh, hello.
34:11Cheers.
34:15Can I ask you a personal question?
34:18Have you ever been with a woman before?
34:29You mean like in the same room?
34:33You know what I mean.
34:35Oh, that, uh...
34:38Well, let me think.
34:39Um...
34:40Yeah, there was, uh...
34:42Several.
34:44I mean, and, uh...
34:46Quite a few times.
34:49And then there was, uh...
34:51Oh, she was incredibly...
34:55No.
34:56Uh-uh.
34:57Uh-uh.
34:58I know.
35:00I can tell.
35:02You can't?
35:03Oh, I like it.
35:05You might say I...
35:08Need it.
35:10Oh.
35:11Well, need should, uh, you know...
35:13Need should definitely be met as long as it doesn't require ointments the next day, or...
35:19Do you hear?
35:20No.
35:21Sounds like someone...
35:22I don't hear anything.
35:26Your hands are so hot.
35:30Oh, you hurt your hand.
35:38Buffy.
35:41I love Buffy.
35:44Wow.
35:46So that's a martini, huh?
35:48Mm-hmm.
35:51Do you hear?
35:52Would you like to touch me with those hands?
35:56Your hands are...
36:02Really...
36:04Serrated.
36:06Oh, well, that martini, I...
36:10Really think I have to...
36:26In the end...
36:27There you go.
36:28We're not going to die.
36:30See you later.
36:32Can't wait a minute.
36:33I'm not going to die again.
36:35Oh, well.
36:36I'm not going to die.
36:38Oh, well, I'm not going to die.
36:39I'm not going to die.
36:41No, it's going to die.
36:42I don't know.
37:12Miss French?
37:18Please, call me Natalie.
37:23Frankly, madam, I haven't the faintest idea what time it is, nor do I care.
37:27Now, unlock his cell, unstrap him, and bring him to the telephone immediately.
37:30This is a matter of life and death.
37:33Got it.
37:35Coroner's report, complete with, yeah, color pictures.
37:41They are teeth marks.
37:43Which match perfectly the one insect that nips off its prey's head.
37:47Okay, I don't like this.
37:49It's the way they feed head first.
37:52It's also the way they mate.
37:53The female bites off the male's head while they're...
37:56No, no, no.
37:57See, Xander is...
37:59I like his head.
38:01It's where you find his eyes and his hair and his adorable smile.
38:05Hey, hey, take it easy, Will.
38:07Xander is not in any immediate danger.
38:10I saw him leave school.
38:12He's probably safe at home right now.
38:14Blaine!
38:24Oh, God.
38:25Oh, God.
38:26Are you all right?
38:27All right, all right.
38:28You gotta get me out of here.
38:30You gotta.
38:30She...
38:31She...
38:32She gets you and, uh...
38:33What?
38:33She...
38:34She...
38:34What does she do?
38:36Oh, God.
38:38Oh, no.
38:39Blaine!
38:41What does she do?
38:42She...
38:42She...
38:43She...
38:43She...
38:44She takes you out of the cage and...
38:46She ties you up and...
38:48And...
38:48She...
38:49She starts moving and throbbing.
38:53And these eggs come shooting out of her.
38:56And then...
38:56What?
38:57And then...
38:57Then what?
38:58She mates with you.
39:03She...
39:03That's not the worst part.
39:05That's not?
39:06You seen her teeth?
39:08Right, well, she's, you know, right in the middle of...
39:12I saw her do it.
39:13I don't want to die like that.
39:16Blaine.
39:17Blaine.
39:18Chill.
39:19It's gonna...
39:20It's gonna be okay.
39:22We're gonna have this.
39:24You got a plan?
39:25What is it?
39:27Just, uh, let me perfect.
39:29Oh, God.
39:31Oh, God.
39:33Oh, God.
39:34Oh, God.
39:36Oh, God.
39:36Oh, God.
39:36I understand, Carlisle.
39:39Yes.
39:40I'll take every precaution.
39:42Absolutely.
39:44It sounds exactly like the creature you described.
39:47You will write all along about everything.
39:52Well, no, you weren't right about your mother coming back as a Pekingese, but...
39:56You, uh, try to rest, old man.
40:00Yes.
40:01Ta.
40:03Bye now.
40:05Dr. Feliz Carlisle spent years transcribing a lost pre-Germanic language.
40:10What he discovered, he kept to himself, until several teenage boys were murdered on the
40:17Cotswolds.
40:17Then he went hunting for it.
40:20It being?
40:21Uh, he calls her a she-mantus.
40:24This type of creature, the Cletus Virgo, or virgin thief, appears in many cultures.
40:30The Greek sirens, the Celtic sea maidens, who tore the living flesh from the bones of, uh...
40:36Giles, while we're young.
40:39Well, uh, well, basically, the, uh, the she-mantus assumes the form of a beautiful woman and then
40:44lures innocent virgins back to her nest.
40:48Virgins?
40:49Well, Xander's not, uh, uh, I mean, he's probably gonna die.
41:02Okay, okay, so this thing is breeding, and we need to find it and snuff it.
41:08Any tips on the snuffing part?
41:10Uh, Carlisle recommends cleaving all body parts with a sharp blade.
41:15Slice and dice.
41:17Whatever you do, it'd better be sudden and swift.
41:19This beast is extremely dangerous.
41:22Well, your buddy Carlisle faced it, and he's still around.
41:25Yes, in a straitjacket, howling his innards out day and night.
41:29Okay, Admiral, way to inspire the troops.
41:32Sorry.
41:33Xander's not home.
41:35He told his mom he was going to his teacher's house to work on a science project.
41:39He didn't tell her where.
41:40See if you can get her address off the substitute rules.
41:43And you need to record bat sonar and fast.
41:47Bat sonar, right.
41:48What?
41:49Bats eat them.
41:51The mantis hears sonar, its entire nervous system goes kaplooey.
41:54Where am I gonna find...
41:55In the vid library.
41:57There are no books, but it's dark and musty.
41:59You'll feel right at home.
42:00Go!
42:01I guess I'll handle the armory.
42:09Don't do anything to make her mad.
42:18Hey, all right, now I can get out of my cage.
42:22Into yours.
42:23What'd you do that for?
42:25Weapon.
42:28Think you're gonna need it.
42:31Getting the address.
42:41Great.
42:42Giles?
42:44Cordy, bat sonar is something soothingly akin to having one's teeth drilled.
42:49That's wrong.
42:51According to Miss French's personnel records, she was born in 1907.
42:56She's like 90 years old.
42:58And extremely well preserved.
42:59Oh, God.
43:06Ah, he did that.
43:08He broke the cage.
43:08Take him, not me.
43:09Take him.
43:10Take him.
43:14What now exactly?
43:25We can't just kick the door down.
43:27Yeah, that would be wrong.
43:31Hello, dear.

43:38Because I'd like to help you out.
43:41But you see, I'm on a fixed income.

43:49Natalie French, the substitute biology teacher.
43:53Goodness, that's me.
43:55I taught for over 30 years.
43:58I retired in 1972.
44:01I can't believe this.
44:04She's Miss French's records to get into the school.
44:06She could be anywhere.
44:07No, dear.
44:10I'm right here.

50:14Flag done on that play, babe.

50:16Well, she...
50:17That's the...
50:18She meant his mother's over and I.
50:20She only preys on the pure.
50:22Well, isn't this a perfect ending to a wonderful day?
50:26My dad's a lawyer.
50:27Anybody repeats this to anybody,
50:29they're gonna find themselves facing a lawsuit.
50:32Blaine, shut up.
50:33I don't think it's bad.
50:36I think it's really sweet.
50:40But certainly nothing I'll ever bring up again.
50:42Well, I think it's, that's true.
51:06I heard a rumor that it was one less vampire walking around
51:23and making a nuisance of herself.
51:26There is.
51:28I guess I should thank you for the tip.
51:31The pleasure's mine.
51:33Of course, it would make things easier
51:35if I knew how to get in touch with you.
51:38I'll be around.
51:41For who you were.
51:47Well, anyway, you can have your jacket back.
51:53It looks better on you.
51:54All midterm papers will be exactly six pages long.
52:12No more, no less.
52:15One-third of your grade will be dependent on those papers.
52:20No more, no less.
52:23No more, no more.
