Teaser
6A) The Sunnydale Zoo. (00:00:05) METAPHOR TIME: "The episode starts at a zoo, which could be seen as a metaphor for Sunnydale High. All that savagery, held in place by bars (social norms, which are inculcated into human beings as they are educated). "--Rahael, Thur, 06/13/02 at 09:08:52
6B) Kyle and his gang. (00:00:10)FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: "This is THE PACK: KYLE, RHONDA, TOR, and HEIDI. They are the kind of kids who seem to exist only to ridicule others. They are always together, always with fairly bad intent."--"The Pack " by Matt Kiene and Joe Reinkemeyer, available from Pocket Books, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season One, Volume 1
6C) "It's Buffy. And all her friends." (00:00:14) MEAN KIDS SUCK: Besides Cordelia and her gang, this is the first time we see a group of kids pick on Buffy. From this scene, it's obvious that a great deal of people at the school have now pegged Buffy as an outsider, a weirdo, someone who is different, with only a small group of friends (see 2TT).
6D) "Just thankful." (00:00:20) BUFFY STRONG: This line reinforces Buffy's stance that she is glad that she is no longer her former Cordyish self. Having once been popular and now being an outsider, she is able to better see beneath the veil. She sees how these groups of bullies function, and does not wish to be like them (as they feel she would), but is relieved that she is not part of that mindless group mentatlity. This is not to say that in L.A., Buffy was a bully. She may have been self-absorbed, had followers, and been extremely popular, but a bully is something else. Whereas a popular girl, like Cordelia, truly is copied and sometimes feared by everybody else, she has earned that out of things like her self-confidence and fashion sense. Whether she deserves all the praise and adoration, Cordelia does have a talent. Bullies, on the other hand, are, by nature, untalented beings who try to deflect from their own flaws by loudly mocking and tearing apart others. A Cordy-clone and a bully can, at times, have similar practices and appearances, but there is something intrinsically different about them. Buffy's experiences as a popular girl, though, have more than prepared her to judge this bully gang so harshly.
6E) "Careful--she might beat you up!" (00:00:27) MEAN KIDS SUCK: Part of the inanity of bullies is how they will find any excuse to mock somebody, even if it is to their detriment. Here, for example, they make fun of Buffy due to her reputation at the school for beating people up (no doubt due to her showdown with Luke at the Bronze in The Harvest). But why would someone make fun of a person who could beat the crap out of him or her? The reason, perhaps, is, that they feel by wrecking someone's self esteem, he or she won't be able to hurt them. A great example of a moronic bully is in the Eliza Dushku (Faith) film, Bring it On, in which a mean football player makes fun of one of the male cheerleaders. The cheerleader responds with something to the effect of, "You're making fun of me? Dude, you just lost the game!"
6F) "It was like the Heimlich...with stripes." (00:00:47) I'M NOT A DOCTOR, BUT I PLAY ONE ON TV: This "is a reference to the Heimlich maneuver, the choking rescue procedure. WebMD.com describes this procedure...[as:] 1) Stand behind the person and wrap your arms around his or her waist. If the person is standing, place one of your feet between his or her legs so you can support the person's body if he or she loses consciousness. 2) Make a fist with one hand. Place the thumb side of your fist against the person's abdomen, just above the navel but well below the sternum. 3) Grasp your fist with the other hand. Give a quick upward thrust into the abdomen. This may cause the object to pop out. Use less force for a child. 4) Repeat thrusts until the object pops out or the person loses consciousness."--submitted by Laurie
STARS AND STRIPES: As Xander and Willow describe the zebras' mating session, they are both wearing striped shirts! Buffy is wearing an animal print.--Dead Soul, Thu, 06/13/02 at 12:15:05, paraphrased by Rob
6G) "Lance, how's it going?" (00:01:25) WHAT'S IN A NAME?: "Lance is...one of the classic 'sissy' names, like Percy..." A "lance" is also a spear, which the 19th century grandfather of psychiatry, Sigmund Freud, would have referred to as a phallic symbol, or, in other words, an object that is similar in shape to a penis. The "pack's treatment of...[Lance, therefore, can be seen to] amount...to symbolic castration..."--Anom, Thu, 06/13/02 at 18:04:06, partly paraphrased by Rob
6H) "...you get your desks, some blackboards, and some mean kids." (00:03:07) SOMETIMES A CIGAR...: Freud hypothesized that all humans are lead not by a soul, but by a subconscious, which drives and controls every person, without his or her knowledge. He divided the subconscious into three areas: the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is comprised of "sexual and aggressive tendencies that arise from the body, as distinguished from the mind. These inherent drives claim immediate satisfaction, which is experienced as pleasurable." The ego is the "domain of such functions as perception, thinking, motor control that can accurately assess environmental conditions. The ego must be capable of enforcing the postponement of satisfaction of the instinctual impulses originating in the id. To defend itself against unacceptable impulses, the ego develops specific psychic defense mechanisms = repression, the exclusion of impulses from conscious awareness; projection, the process of ascribing to others one's own unacknowledged desires; and reaction formation, the establishment of a pattern of behavior directly opposed to a strong unconscious need." The superego "controls the ego and the id in accordance with the internalized standards of parental figures and by extension society. If the demands are not fulfilled, we may feel guilt or shame. Morals and values are often formed in the super-ego." This episode is a study of the consequences of giving in to the dark desires of the id, and of..."[t]he mob or pack mentality of high school kids--they get together and give into their darkest desires--something they may be less inclined to do individually." The hyena-possessed high school students are textbook examples of pure id without ego. Another Buffyverse example is Oz-wolf, an animal that runs on pure primal instincts, sans human emotions.
Maggie Walsh, in the fourth season's Beer Bad described the id thus: "These are the things we want. Simple things. Comfort, sex, shelter, food. We always want them and we want them all the time. The id doesn't learn it doesn't grow up. It has the ego telling it what it can't have and it has the superego telling it what it should want. But the id works solely out of the pleasure principle. It wants. Whatever social skills you've learned, however much we've evolved, the pleasure principal is at work in all of us. So, how does this conflict with the ego manifest itself in the psyche? What do we do when we can't have what we want?" And this "want, take, have" principle brings us to Faith, who, in the third season, also seems to be running on pure id. The consequences to herself are dire.--Shadowkat, Thu, 07/04/02, with minor additions by Rob (Many thanks to Shadowkat for this wealth of information and references!)
Act One
6I) "130 over 80." (00:07:08) I'M NOT A DOCTOR BUT I PLAY ONE ON TV II: Interestingly, if Willow is correct about Xander's blood pressure, he has a high blood pressure problem. According to a "European Trauma Care Course page: 'As a general rule, a child's normal blood pressure can be calculated as 80 mm Hg plus twice age (systolic), while the diastolic pressure should be two thirds of the systolic pressure.' If Xander was 15 in The Pack, normal blood pressure for him would have been 110/74. Blood pressure tends to go up w/age (which is why even slightly high...[blood pressure] should be treated early--it'll get worse later)...[and]apparently (according to the above 'general rule'), this also applies to children...[and] adolescents. From a page on the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute site: 'Recent research has shown that high-normal blood pressure (120/80) significantly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.'''--Anom, Thu, 06/13/02 at 23:58:01
6J) "You got it bad, girl." (00:07:11) PUPPY LOVE: Buffy again shows what a keen observer she is, although it doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that Willow is in love with Xander. However, unless Willow has told Buffy about her crush on Xander off-screen at an earlier time, this is the first time in the show's history that Buffy directly comes out and says to Willow, "You love Xander!" Of course, while Buffy can clearly see Willow's feelings for Xander, she proves herself, in this episode, as usual, completely clueless regarding Xander's feelings about her (Buffy). See 4Y.
6*1) 'Not even for a dangerous and mysterious older man whose leather jacket you're wearing right now?" (00:07:27) CONTINUITY CHECK: Buffy is still wearing the leather jacket that Angel gave her in Teacher's Pet (see 4I). Interestingly, this is only the first time in this episode that Angel is referred to as "dangerous and mysterious," foreshadowing the revelation in next week's episode, Angel. For more on Angel as "dangerous and mysterious," see 6DD.
6K) "Xander." (00:07:52) FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: "XANDER enters and surveys the crowd. There is something different in his step: he is more graceful, more contained. Looks about himself warily."--"The Pack " by Matt Kiene and Joe Reinkemeyer, available from Pocket Books, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season One, Volume 1
6L) "Well, we could go to the ice cream place." (00:08:37)I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM...: Hmmm...interesting! Once again a possible trip to the ever-elusive ice cream place is derailed! The previous two times were in Welcome to the Hellmouth and Never Kill a Boy on the First Date. This seems to be turning into quite the conspiracy!
6M) "And the weird behavior award goes to..." (00:08:56) FORESHADOWY GOODNESS: This episode foreshadows fears and insecurities within Xander's soul that finally "comes to fruition all the way in Season 6, in Hell's Bells...[when Xander tells Anya that he cannot marry her.] It is the fear, that something inside him is really just like his father, a brutal bully." Or that he could turn into something like that, just as easily as it happened in The Pack. Once co-opted into the pack, Xander picks on the weak and vulnerable."--Rahael, Thu, 06/13/02 at 09:08:52
6N) "Oh, great. It's the winged monkeys." (00:09:05) FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: THE HYENA PEOPLE enter. There is a subtle shift in their behavior, not unlike Xander's. They stay close together, looking about them, saying nothing. (Their dress has also begun to rhyme with Xander's: subtle, earthy browns and grays.)...Then the HYENA PEOPLE lock eyes with Xander and stop. He stares back--but instead of the trouble we expect, they regard Xander with an almost animal intensity, as if some PRIMAL CONNECTION is being made.--"The Pack " by Matt Kiene and Joe Reinkemeyer, available from Pocket Books, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season One, Volume 1
POP CULTURE TIME: In this short phrase, Buffy manages to squeeze in two pop cultural references! The Winged Monkeys refer to the minions of the Wicked Witch of the West, in the classic 1901 children's novel by L. Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz, most commonly known today in the form of the 1939 movie based on it, which stars Judy Garland. Also, the song playing in the background as Buffy says this is by the rock group, Sprung Monkey.--Fresne, Thu, 06/13/02 at 09:22:07, paraphrased by Rob
6O) "Shouldn't you be hovering over a football stadium with 'Goodyear' written on you?" (00:09:39) POP CULTURE TIME: "Goodyear" is a famous tire company that acvertises on huge blimps that are known to fly over sports stadiums during games. This reference is a cruel joke, as the hyenas mock this boy about his weight.--Fresne, Thu, 06/13/02 at 09:22:07, paraphrased by Rob
6P) "Lordy, Herbert!" (00:10:38) WHAT'S IN A NAME?: "...[I]n the original Star Trek episode, The Way to Eden, 'herbert'...[is what they call] a square, a member of the establishment, someone clueless about what...[is] cool, hip, and in." This reference, deliberate or not, alludes both to the fact that, as the mascot of the school, Herbert is a symbol of adult authority and the pride of the established leaders, and also that Principal Flutie is a "square" himself.--Vickie, Thu, 06/13/02 at 15:55:40, with additions by Rob
6Q) "No, he's a fierce Razorback!" (00:10:54) POP CULTURE TIME: Sunnydale's football helmet is patterned after the one worn by the professional team, the Washington Redskins. Washington's defensive unit has been known as the 'Hogs' since the 1970's.--Cactus Watcher, Fri, 06/14/02 at 06:50:35, paraphrased by Rob
6R) "He doesn't look mean..." (00:10:58) FORESHADOWY GOODNESS : This seemingly innocent line takes on much greater significance when one realizes that in the very next episode, Buffy will learn the truth about Angel's dark secret. Beneath his sexy, handsome, good exterior lies a monster. In Teacher's Pet, Buffy did not pick up on the warning signs that, although she had learned about shattering male and female stereotypes, there was still something she was missing (see 4PP). Now, it's extremely unlikely that in this particular situation, Buffy is being blinded by Herbert's cuteness from seeing an evil monster within him. Of course, we'll never know for sure, though. ;o)
6S) "...and those movies on Showtime with the nudity." (00:12:24) POP CULTURE TIME: Showtime is a premium cable movie channel that is known for showing a series of erotic films called The Red Shoe Diaries, and other softcore pornography, late at night. This reference also shows how out of the loop Flutie is on what is cool. Most teenagers wouldn't be caught dead watching one of these movies.
6T) She gives him a hurt and confused look. (00:14:09) FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: "Xander easily catches a ball, hurls it back with intensity, hitting WILLOW in the arm. She walks to the sidelines, looking more hurt that Xander was the one who hurled the blow."--"The Pack " by Matt Kiene and Joe Reinkemeyer, available from Pocket Books, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season One, Volume 1
6U) "Xander...what's wrong with you?" (00:15:15) FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: "Xander suddenly turns toward Willow--only it's the old Xander with the gentle eyes. He pulls her slightly away from the Pack. Leans in, somewhat confidentially."--"The Pack " by Matt Kiene and Joe Reinkemeyer, available from Pocket Books, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season One, Volume 1
6V) "...which means I won't have to look at your pasty face again." (00:15:53) COSMIC COMEUPPANCE?: Perhaps the person hurt most deeply in this episode by Xander is Willow. Whether normal-Xander picks up on it or not, hyena-Xander realizes that Willow likes him, and uses that against her, to hurt her feelings all the more cuttingly. In the second season premiere, When She Was Bad, Buffy, who is acting quite bitchy, dances sexily with Xander, to taunt him, since she knows he loves her at that point, and then refuses to thank him for saving her life before stalking off (see 13HH and 13II). Although in that episode, we feel extreme sympathy for Xander (just as we do for Willow here), perhaps there he was receiving cosmic comeuppance for how he treated Willow in this episode. For another when She Was Bad link, see 6LL.
FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: "The Pack laughs hysterically. Willow looks like she's been hit in the stomach. She internalizes the pain, walks past...BUFFY...who can't believe her ears."--"The Pack " by Matt Kiene and Joe Reinkemeyer, available from Pocket Books, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season One, Volume 1
6W) "Let's do lunch." (00:17:48) LITERATURE CORNER: "...[T]here is an obvious link with the themes of...[William Golding's classic novel,] Lord of the Flies, not only...[regarding] the hidden savagery in the heart of man, but most explicitly in the shape of the school mascot, Herbert the Pig. In Lord of the Flies, the descent into savagery is shown by the relish...[with] which some of the boys murder pigs...Also, in Lord of the Flies...[some of the less violent] boys...[are] constantly...[fearful of] 'The Beast,' which...[they believe,] lurks around the forests of the island." In actuality, "The Beast" does not exist--it is the other boys doing those violent, horrific acts, and claiming that they were done by the imaginary "Beast." "In The Pack, it is the Hyenas who possess the bullies. But it's clear that the bullies were always bullies...[just like the boys from Lord of the Flies were also reponsible for their own actions, not "The Beast."] The hyena spirit just makes them a little more animalistic than before. The real transformation is in Xander."--Rahael, Thurs, 6/13/02 at 09:08:52
LITERATURE CORNER REDUX: "In...[Lord of the Flies], marooned school boys develop a brutish 'primal' society, complete with pig hunting, parliamentary rules of a sort, and a cultic relationship to a decaying pig's head (the 'lord' of the title--in a way). The story includes the murder of one of the boys and culminates with the murder of the obese character, Piggy. Piggy is something of a symbol of order and adulthood in the book, and he starts to lose his influence when one of the more brutal boys steals his eyeglasses." Glasses, as a symbol of clarity of vision that is shattered when the glasses are broken, also appeared in Teacher's Pet. See 4E, 21O, 25FFF, and 34FF--Vickie, Thu, 06/13/02 at 15:55:40, with some additions by Rob
Act Two
6X) "We haven't always been close..." (00:19:36) MEMORIES...: This is an interesting line, on Willow's behalf, because we get another peek into Xander and her pre-Buffy relationship. They have been friends since they were small children, and it is a nice detail to note here that, in such long-term friendships (this one, for example, has been over 2/3rds of a lifetime), sometimes there are periods where the two may feel less close to each other. It is natural in any relationship, but especially one like this, where the two literally grew up together. But, in the end, they are still best friends and emerged from those periods of distance all the closer.
6Y) "I can't believe you of all people are trying to Scully me." (00:20:49) POP CULTURE TIME: In the early to mid-nineties, The X-Files was a very influential cult sci-fi television show about two FBI agents working in a department whose purpose was to investigate unsolved mysteries of the paranormal (aliens, ghosts, etc). The male partner, Fox Mulder, was known as "Spooky Mulder" for his belief in the paranormal; his female partner, Dana Scully, on the other hand, was a born skeptic, and always questioned Mulder's assumptions, and tried to find logical, scientific explanations for the outlandish situations. Which is what Giles is trying to do here with Buffy. Therefore, he is "Scullying" her.
6Z) "Crunchy." (00:22:27) LITERATURE CORNER: In E.B. White's timeless children's book, Charlotte's Web, a small spider saves a young pig's life from being slaughtered for meat, by weaving adjectives about him into her web, such as, "Some Pig," "Terrific," "Radiant," and "Humble." A rat brings word ideas to her by tearing them off of used packages. One word that she rejects, wisely, is "Crunchy."
6AA) "Apparently Noah rejected hyenas from the ark..." (00:22:49) BIBLICAL ALLUSIONS: This refers to the story in the first book of the Jewish Bible, Genesis, in which God decides to rid the world of all the evil people in it. Therefore, He tells the one good man, Noah, to build a huge ark, in which he should take his family and two of each animal (one male, one female), so that they could survive the great flood He would send, and, afterwards, repopulate the world. The Buffyverse version of the tale, in which Noah rejects the hyenas from the ark, is inaccurate, according to the Bible in our world. "[I]t wasn't up to Noah; he was doing what God told him to. And that was to take 2 of every animal into the ark. No exceptions." This version is either manufactured by the writers to reinforce the (very true) hyenas "being the shmoes of the animal kingdom" statement of Buffy's (see 6BB), or is based on folk tales from another culture, blended in with the Noah tale.--Anom, Thu, 06/13/02 at 18:04:06, partly paraphrased by Rob
MORE ON THAT: It has become practice in popular mythology to explain that legendary animals, which either do not exist anymore or never did, don't exist because they were left off of the Ark. "Early nineteenth century paleontologists kept finding these huge skeletons. No problem. Clearly, the dinosaurs/dragons died in the flood. They couldn't fit on the Ark. On the playful end, there's Shel Silverstein's...[children's poem,] Unicorn Song. The Unicorns were too busy playing to get on the boat. Thus no more unicorns. And now hyenas, which actually doesn't make much sense, cause you know...they're still wandering around stealing food from lions in Africa." Perhaps the fact that they survived being left off the ark could be explained by their shiftiness and scrappiness.--Fresne, Fri, 06/14/02 at 08:30:34
6BB) "They do seem to be the shmoes of the animal kingdom." (00:22:58) AIN'T IT THE TRUTH!: Buffy is right. Hyenas have gotten the short end of the stick, when it has come to mythology and folklore. "Perhaps because hyenas are female dominant, folklore casts them as sexual deviants (sometimes using them as images of homosexuality...). Stories tell that hyenas can shift from male to female and back (a) Maybe that's because the female hyena has a clitoris about the same size as the male's penis, looking a lot like it, according to an article a few years ago in Science Times. And here comes the icky part: the female gives birth through the clitoris! YeeeowwwTCHH!!! No wonder them mothers are tough! As for female dominance, it's not limited to mothers; the same article said even the female cubs eat their fill before the first adult male gets a bite(b). Hyenas are also strongly connected to witchcraft and the supernatural. Several cultures believe that witches and other magickers can...[shapeshift] into hyenas (a)."-- (a) Vickie, Thu, 06/13/02 at 15:55:40 (b) Anom, Thu, 06/13/02 at 19:06:18, with some additions by Rob
6CC) "But this is beyond the pale." (00:25:05) PUN TIME: A "'pale'...is a wooden stake used to mark boundaries or a fence made from stakes. The word 'pale'...comes from the Latin word for stake...['palus'] and is related to such Buffy words as 'impale.' The phrase 'beyond the pale' dates back to when the bit of Ireland under English rule was marked by a boundary stakes known as the English Pale. Go outside of the the pale, and, from the English perspective, you ventured into a land of barbarity and general icky-ness."--Fresne, Thu, 06/13/02 at 09:22:07, minor correction by Anom
6DD) "Dangerous and mean, right? Like Angel, your mystery guy." (00:25:38) WHAT LIES BENEATH: In the episode directly before we learn the truth about Angel, we hear this declaration from Xander. This statement raises a few questions. Since other than the facts that he speaks cryptically, disappears often, is not very social, to say the least, and has a great knowledge of the secrets about vampire and demon activity in Sunnydale, there is very little evidence that Angel is in fact "dangerous and mean," as Xander implies. A variety of factors could be working here. The demon within Xander could perhaps sense the demon, or dark side, within Angel. Or these statements are based on Xander's own intuition, (or opinion, from his own selfish reasons) since, from the start, he never trusted or liked Angel. Where Buffy saw an aloof, sexy, maddening stranger, Xander sensed trouble. Either of these two options also leads to the question of how much of the being operating at this moment is the hyena and how much is Xander. Is this pure hyena, being affected by Xander's own personality and desires; is it Xander, under the influence of the outside source of the animal spirit? In other words, is Xander responsible for his actions? The idea that this being knows and is jealous of Angel, and is sexually attracted to Buffy may imply that Xander is the main force here, but Xander would never, under normal circumstances, try to harm Buffy like this. Also, hyena-Xander picks up on things that Xander normally doesn't, such as Willow's attraction to him (see 6V)--the demon can obviously delve deep into Xander's subconscious, to dredge up thoughts that he doesn't normally entertain. See 6RR for more on this issue.
6EE) "The more I scare you, the better you smell..." (00:26:42) DARK SHADOWS: This "is the first time Whedon went really dark. Whedon states in later interviews - that when he did The Pack, he...[finally] realized how dark he could go with his actors...[This episode] was when the show began to fall together for him and he knew he had actors who were capable of much more than he'd previously thought. Also if you look at the episodes before and after The Pack, you will see a shift in tone."--Shadowkat, Thurs, 06/13/02 at 09:04:46
FORESHADOWY GOODNESS: Or, in this case, badness. This scene is eerily prescient of the scene in the sixth season's Seeing Red, in which, again, Buffy is almost raped by a man (actually a vampire, Spike), whom she had come to trust. In both cases, Buffy is raped by someone who is "possessed," in a manner of speaking, Xander by the hyena spirit, and Spike by his demon soul. And in both cases, Buffy's attacker fails to subdue her. Also, interestingly, these were two out of the very few times on the show that Buffy has shown signs of true fear. This reflects real-life situations, in which, according to statistics, most rapes are done by people to whom the victims had been close; and that is almost scarier than a shadowy attacker emerging to do the act.--Rahael, Thu, 06/13/02 at 09:08:52, paraphrased and expanded upon by Rob See 32DD.
COMPARE AND CONTRAST: The Pack "is an episode about 'predators'...[This] links back to the themes of Teacher's Pet, which is another Xander-centric ep...Again, we have to contrast one display of predatory strength with another...[hyena-possessed Xander vs.] Buffy. We know that she too has something of the primitive about her. She has the same supernatural strength...[her power also] has links with Africa, magic and ritual. But she uses her strength to defend and protect." The hyena's power is used for destruction and chaos.--Rahael, Thu, 06/13/02 at 09:08:52, some additions by Rob
6FF) ...the Pack descends on him and begins feeding. (00:27:10) THE PRINCIPAL IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE PRINCIPAL: The death of the kindly, albeit bumbling, Principal Flutie, makes way for the reign of terror under the regime of Principal Snyder, most affectionately referred to by students as a "rat-faced Nazi midget." The death of a kind school teacher, who is then replaced by a not-so-nice one was foreshadowed in Teacher's Pet, when the incredibly kind and understanding science teacher, Dr. Gregory, was replaced, upon his death, by a harsh and stern man (see 4OO).--suggested by a post by Shadowkat, Thurs, 06/13/02 at 09:04:46
