(Animals, they’ve just rescued, are on the street disrupting traffic…)
Percy Jackson: This seems dangerous.
Grover Underwood: Oh. They’ll be totally fine. I gave them a Satyr’s blessing, so they’ll be able to reach the wilderness safely.
Percy Jackson: I meant for the people.
Grover Underwood: Oh… Them. Well, I mean, I’m sure they’ll… Yeah, I don’t know. But the animals are all set.

What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
The trio releases a truckload of abused zoo animals into Las Vegas, causing traffic chaos. Percy is worried about the humans getting hurt, but Grover dismisses it immediately. He assures Percy the animals are blessed and safe, completely ignoring the danger to the people.
Book vs TV Series
This is a nearly direct paraphrase, which is great for consistency! In both versions, Grover uses his satyr magic to put a “sanctuary” on the animals he frees. The show keeps the identical concept to emphasize Grover’s immediate concern for the welfare of the wild animals and his deep connection to the natural world over the mortal one.
