["The Librarian" flashes on screen, as a stereotypical librarian (glasses, hair in a bun, etc.) is shown shushing the camera and waving a stick in a menacing fashion]
LIBRARIAN: Shh!
[cut to the librarian approaching two young girls outdoors, then shushing them]
LIBRARIAN: Shh! Quiet!
[she leaves, as the two girls try to stifle their laughter ... until she returns and shushes them again]
LIBRARIAN: Shh!
[they continue laughing, so she waves her stick at them]
LIBRARIAN: Quiet now!
[she wacks the bench next to them with her stick]
LIBRARIAN: Shh! Silence!
[the two girls continue laughing]
LIBRARIAN: Hands on the lap! Hands on the lap! Hands on the lap!
[she motions for them to sit like proper ladies, but they just continue laughing]
LIBRARIAN: Don't laugh!
[cut to two women standing in front of a store, as the librarian approaches and shushes them]
LIBRARIAN: Shh!
[she starts to walk away, as the two women stare in confusion ... so she turns around and points her stick at them]
LIBRARIAN: Quiet!
[one of the woman tries to walk away, but she points her stick again]
LIBRARIAN: Shh! Quiet!
[cut to a man and woman sitting at a table outdoors, when the librarian approaches them]
MAN 1: Yes?
LIBRARIAN: Shh!
[the woman starts to laugh, but the man looks positively frightened]
LIBRARIAN: Shh!
[the man gets up to leave, so the librarian wraps his chair with her stick]
LIBRARIAN: Shh!
[they look on in confusion, as the librarian "stands guard" between their chairs]
LIBRARIAN: Quiet!
[cut to three elderly women sitting at a table outdoors, when the librarian approaches and shushes them]
LIBRARIAN: Shh! Shh! Silence!
[the women look on in confusion, as the librarian begins to walk away]
LIBRARIAN: Silence!
[cut to the librarian stopping a female letter carrier in front of a cafe]
LIBRARIAN: Silence! Capital S-I-L-E-N-C-E! Silence!
[the letter carrier holds her finger up to her lips, mocking the librarian, who responds by pointing her stick at her]
LIBRARIAN: Silence!
[a nearby man looks on disapprovingly]
MAN 2: You have no right to shout.
LIBRARIAN: Follow me ... W-O-W-M-A-L-I.
MAN 2: [laughs once he realizes they're being pranked]
[cut to two women sitting at a table outdoors, as the librarian points to a "Silence Please" sign nearby]
LIBRARIAN: Do you see? The sign?
[the women try to ignore her, as a police officer walks by and puts his finger to his lips]
LIBRARIAN: [turns the sign around to reveal "Wow Mali" on the back]
[the women do not see the sign, as they're still trying to ignore her]
WOMAN: Silence, please.
LIBRARIAN: No no, I'm not saying that ...
[she finally turns around and reads the new sign]
WOMAN: [starts laughing]
