XANDER: Right there. See, it's, it's like he just realized he forgot to put money in the meter or something.

CORDELIA: You know the part that totally weirded me out? That thing had good taste. I mean, he chucks Xander and went right for the formal wear.

XANDER: That's right. He left behind his copy of Monsters Wear Daily.

CORDELIA: I'm serious. Look at the outfit that Xander's wearing. Now look at the kid that the monster went after. Very smooth lines, 'til he was shredded.

BUFFY: I don't want to see it again.

GILES: Buffy, I know it's horrible, but if you're going to hunt this creature, you should study it.

BUFFY: Think I got it.

WILLOW: She's right. I mean, you've seen one big hairy bringer of death, you've seen 'em all.

WESLEY: If I'm not mistaken, this is a hellhound.

GILES: Yes. It's particularly vicious. It's sort of a demon foot soldier bred during the Machash Wars. Trained solely to kill. They feed off the brains of their foes.

CORDELIA: Look! Right there, zoom in on that.

XANDER: It's a videotape.

CORDELIA: So? They do it on television all the time.

XANDER: Not with a regular VCR they don't.

WESLEY: Perhaps we could stay on the topic for once. What were you doing this afternoon?

CORDELIA: What? Um, I was...

XANDER: Burning a hole in daddy's wallet, as usual. I just bumped into her during my tuxedo hunt.

OZ: What's that? Pause it.

XANDER: Guys! It's just a normal VCR. It doesn't... Oh wait, uh, it can do pause.

When the picture is paused, a male teen can be seen peering through the shop's broken window.

XANDER: Hello, hellhound raiser.

Cut to a closeup of a class yearbook.

OZ: Tucker Wells. He's in my chem lab.

WESLEY: Let me guess. He was quiet, kept to himself, but always seemed like a nice young man.

OZ: He didn't seem the murderous type anyway. Something must have happened to him.
