[scene opens with the camera panning across the interior of the library, where various patrons can be seen sleeping on desks and a female librarian (long blonde hair, black pants suit) is visibly yawning]
NARRATOR: In a world where the library is overrun with computers ...
[the Library Ninja (a man wearing a blue gi and yellow headbands) jumps into the scene and flings a stack of books like throwing stars, as each one lands in the hand of a patron]
CHORUS: Library Ninja!
[a still image of the Library Ninja (with the tagline "Defender of Books") is shown, then cut to the ninja standing between two students sitting on opposite ends of a table]
LIBRARY NINJA: Today's challenge is ... Capital of Russia!
[he slams both fists down on the table]
LIBRARY NINJA: Haji!
[both students run off, the first heading for the computer while the other heads for the bookshelf]
[cut to the student at the bookshelf, as he pulls out a book (while the sound of a sword being removed from its hilt can be heard)]
[cut to the student at the computer, as he types on the keyboard (while a generic "kung fu punching" sound effect can be heard)]
[cut back to the first student scanning the book, when he points to a particular passage and raises his hand in victory]
STUDENT 1: Moscow!
[cut back to the second student, who places his head down on the keyboard in defeat]
STUDENT 2: Aww ...
[cut to another still image of the Library Ninja, with the tagline reading "Library Ninja Say ... Sometimes Books Are Better!"]
