["The Lilting Banshees present ... 15 Ways to Amuse Yourself in the Library!" appears on screen, as Denise LaSalle's "My Toot Toot" plays in the background]
["1. Annoy the Librarians" appears on screen, then cut to inside the Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University, as a male student approaches the young female librarian at the front desk and hands her his library card (except he keeps pulling it away just as she's about to take it)]
["2. Paper Football" appears on screen, then cut to two male students playing paper football ... except when one of them flicks the paper football for a field goal attempt, it turns into a real football and hits a nearby male student in the head (knocking him unconscious)]
["3. Order 'The Drink' appears on screen, then cut to a female student as someone off camera slides an extra-large Starbucks coffee cup (filled with whipped cream, sprinkles, and crazy straws) across the desk to her]
["4. The Internet" appears on screen, then cut to a female student using her laptop in the library, when she clicks on an email and a full-screen video of a creepy-looking male student begins playing]
["5. This Guy!" appears on screen, then cut to the female student noticing that the same creepy-looking guy is sitting spread-eagle in a chair across the room from her]
["6. Civil War Reenactment" appears on screen, then cut to a male student (wearing the blue uniform of a Union soldier) roaming through the stacks carrying a pistol, when he's ambushed by a Confederate soldier who "shoots" him with a rifle]
[cut to the Union soldier falling "dead" to the floor, as a stack of books falls on his stomach ... He picks up one of the books (entitled "Civil War History") and opens it to a page which simply reads "The South Loses", then celebrates before "dying"]
["7. Build a Fort" appears on screen, then cut to a male student lying on the floor between two stacks of books with a blanket hanging overhead between them]
["8. Build a Friend" appears on screen, then cut to a male student putting a shirt and baseball cap on a stack of books, then the books "magically" transform into another male student who offers him a frisbee]
["9. Build a Bear" appears on screen, then cut to a female student using a variety of tools (hammer, needle nose pliers, toy chainsaw) on a teddy bear, then cut to stock footage of an actual grizzly bear, then cut back to the student putting her hands over her mouth in horror]
["10. Drug Deal!" appears on screen, then cut to a male student (wearing a backwards baseball cap) taking a book entitled "Good Study Habits" off the shelf, then placing a bag of pills labelled "Adderall" in the middle and putting it back on the shelf]
[cut to a female student (wearing a black hoodie) pulling the book off the shelf, taking the bag of pills, then placing a wad of bills in the book and reshelving it]
[cut to a nerdy-looking male student pulling the book off the shelf, finding the money (with a surprised look on his face), then the baseball cap-wearing student returns and knees him in the groin]
["11. Conceal a Murder!" appears on screen, then cut to a male student dragging a "dead" body through the stacks]
[cut to the student trying to stuff the body into the "Library Return" slot]
[cut to the student placing the "murder weapon" (a knife covered in ketchup) on the revolving tray carousel in the dining hall]
["12. Eat a Banana" appears on screen, then cut to a female student sitting at a table in the library and eating a banana with a knife and fork]
[" ... without looking awkward" appears on screen, then cut to a male student jamming an entire banana into his mouth]
["13. Try Nudism!" appears on screen, then cut to a naked male student (covering his front and backside with two large books) walking through the library, when a young male librarian at the front desk stops him]
LIBRARIAN: Excuse me, sir, you have to check those out.
[the student slowly hands him the books and smiles awkwardly, as the librarian presses a "Date Due" stamp on his chest, so the student runs off embarrassed]
["14. Jedi Battle" appears on screen, then - as the music changes to John Williams' "Duel of the Fates" - cut to two male students (one wearing a cheap Darth Vader Halloween mask) fighting through the library with toy lightsabers]
[cut to the students running through the stacks, when Vader uses his "Force" powers to fling some books off the shelf and hit the other student in the face]
[cut to the student falling to the floor, as Vader raises his lightsaber and swings it down]
[cut to a rubber hand falling in a chair, then cut to the student holding up his right arm (with the sleeve rolled up so you can't see his hand)]
["15. Reconnect with your Father" appears on screen, then - as the music changes back to "My Toot Toot" - cut to the student (still missing his right hand) hugging Vader as he tries to drink a coffee (but keeps bumping it up against his mask)]
["The End" appears on screen]
