ROB GROTE: Ten years ago, a group of bibliophiles was sent to library school for being over-inquisitive. They promptly escaped to the Williamstown underground, where they survived as librarians of fortune. If you have a reference question, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire ... the L-Team!

L-Team Wins Award
Published April 19th, 2007

Nick Baker of Williams College Libraries has received an InfoTubey Award for The L-Team, a library promotional video.

Baker received the award at the Computers In Libraries 2007 conference this week in Washington, D.C. The honor is given by Information Today for "excellence in library YouTube productions." Bill Spence, CTO of Information Today, presented the award.

The video depicts the public service librarians of Williams College as a band of bibliophiles who "escaped to the Williamstown underground" and survive as "librarians of fortune."

The video is an homage to the opening credits of "The A-Team," an action-adventure television series that ran from 1983 through 1986 on NBC.

From docstoc.com:

Interview: Nick Baker - The L Team
An email interview with the creator of the L-Team.

BRIER: Where did you get the idea for this video?
BAKER: The L-Team was done for Library Week [2007] with the help of my colleagues. I was a child of the 80s, so that's where the A-Team spoof idea came from.
BRIER: How long did the L-Team take to make?
BAKER: The L-Team was done on work time, about two hours of shooting my colleagues (trying to get them to smile) and then a few hours each on the titles, music, narration, etc. Probably about 16 hours total. In general, when people ask how much time it takes, I say that a minute of screen time is a full day's work (8 hours).
BRIER: How much did this video cost to make?
BAKER: Nothing but time. I shot them on my digital camera (a Canon Powershot 600 digital elf) and edited them with iMovie on a Mac Powerbook I borrowed from the Systems department. I used free Audacity software to mix the soundtrack.
BRIER: What has been the reaction to the video?
BAKER: Very positive! I've been recognized at conferences (Computers in Libraries 2007) and asked to speak about library videos (Internet Librarian 2007). On campus, I think it's raised the profile of the librarians and made us seem more relevant, but it's just an impression.
BRIER: To what extent has the video impacted library services or ideas about the library or both?
BAKER: The idea was to make the librarians seem more approachable and human - showcase our sense of humor. It's the sort of image thing that's hard to measure, but from the feedback we've gotten. I think it's working. I'm not sure it's changed library services all that much.
BRIER: What were the most challenging aspects about making the L-Team?
BAKER: Getting my colleagues to smile.
BRIER: What advice would you give aspiring library video directors if they are considering making a video about their library or services?
BAKER: Don't be afraid to fail. We've made several videos, and they haven't all been successes. I felt just as good about the hits as I did about the misses, so it's important to put all your ideas out there to see what sticks.
BRIER: Are you considering making any new videos? If so, what do you have on tap?
BAKER: We've got a couple planned on library etiquette and on fun things to do in the library (sardines) but with the start of the term it's on hold for a while. We also did a film- noir style video for the first year student orientation that was a hit.

[cut to another shot of Will]
WILL: What we want them to do is distract them while I put the books in their bookbags.
[cut to another shot of Will]
WILL: Alright, then we got the distractors down, we go grab their bookbags to "change locations" out in the hallway. That's why they're gonna be going out in the hallway, that's why they're gonna be busted!

MIKE: Do you have any other surprises in here?
STUDENT 1: Umm, no.
MIKE: Which one? Did you check any of these out?
STUDENT 1: No ... [laughs nervously]
[cut to Will stifling a laugh, as Mike takes another book out of her bag]
MIKE: Are you interested in Fighter Combat?
STUDENT 1: Definitely those are not mine ... no. [laughs]
MIKE: You know, taking books is very serious.
STUDENT 1: [laughs]
MIKE: There's a pretty big fine, and you have to pay it up front. It's five dollars a book.
STUDENT 1: I don't even have five bucks.
MIKE: You don't have five bucks?
FEMALE LIBRARY WORKER: I'll go get the librarian.
STUDENT 1: Well, I didn't take 'em, so ...
MIKE: Well, if you don't have five dollars, you have to ... Mister Matthews always tells us that you have to work after school. Y'know, like, trash pickup in the rooms, you have to clean like the entire building. Stuff like that.
STUDENT 1: Um ... [laughs]
FEMALE LIBRARY WORKER: This is a serious thing, so I don't know why you're laughing.
STUDENT 1: I don't know, I didn't take them! It's not my fault!
FEMALE LIBRARY WORKER: It's not your fault they were in your bag?

STUDENT 1: Do I look like the kinda person that wants to read, like ...
MIKE: Taking books from the library--
STUDENT 1: I didn't take 'em ... [laughs]

MIKE: I don't wanna embarrass you, but do you have, like, a problem or something?
LIBRARIAN: Is there anything else?
MIKE: Is there anything else?
[he continues looking through the bag]
MIKE: Check to see if there's like, any drugs in there or something ... Seriously.
LIBRARIAN: Alright, you gotta check these out ...
MIKE: You got some booze in here, buddy?
LIBRARIAN: You gotta check it out.
MIKE: Wait, aren't we gonna enforce the five dollar fine? Because usually, we got a five-dollar fine if you steal books! I mean, this is serious!
LIBRARIAN: It is ... This is a media center. These are school resources.
STUDENT 3: You can't steal books here ... [laughs]
MIKE: I don't know why everybody's laughing, but ... I mean, I take this job very seriously. Alright? This is a five-dollar fine, you tried to steal this book!
STUDENT 2: [laughs]
MIKE: I ... That's affecting me, it's affecting her, and her.
LIBRARIAN: All of the students are affected.
MIKE: I mean, you're just trying to steal from the school, it's only hurting you.
LIBRARIAN: Well, let's come into the office and work this out.
STUDENT 2: Alright.
[cut to everyone inside the librarian's office]
MIKE: Alright, so ... do you wanna pay the five dollar fine now, or--
[cut to another shot of everyone in the office]
LIBRARIAN: Any punishment recommendations?
MIKE: Either a five dollar fine or an after school detention.
JASON: If I had my way, I'd suspend him.

STUDENT 2: What?
WILL: You're on the new TV show, it's called "School'd" ... You just got "School'd"!

After Twilight

---

From aftertwilightfilm.com:

The Lone Star State is in a bloody war with the United States to become a separate fundamentalist Christian nation. A sinister force of religious policemen led by the brutal Sgt.Streetman carries sinners off to redemption campes for salvation...if they survive. Young librarian Jen Frazier really wants to be invisible to the oppressive religious government that has taken over Texas where reason is outlawed and blind faith rules! But Jen's plan to isolate herself from the madness surrounding her is thwarted by her vivacious and high-spirited younger sister, Zoe, who embraces the underground resistance. When Zoe is captured by the religious extremists and dragg to Camp Purity, a hellhole of Old Testament punishments and torture, Jen is pulled into the dark and dangerous world of The Underground, liberators, witnesses, scribes and apparitors. Once forced to confront the theocracy in a fierce, face-to-face battle, a defiant Jen will find out just how dangerous it is to fight a state with God on its side.

AFTER TWILIGHT is not an anti-faith story nor is it an anti-Christian story. It shines a spotlight on a disturbing extremism and intolerance that is growing today in our society. When church and state are combined, both are corrupted and neith fulfills its purpose.

Bookish Jen Frazier seems an unlikely choice to be a freedom fighter, but when a theocratic new order occupies the state of Texas, Jen is pushed into action carrying contraband for the underground.

In the backroom of a closed antique shop Goldman, the proprietor, charges Jen with the task of delivering a mysterious package to an unnamed underground. But before Goldman can finish his instructions, the Apparitors (religious police) led by Sgt. Streetman raid the shop. Jen hides and escapes capture, but the police seize Goldman, and beat him to death for resisting arrest.

In spite of the danger, and driven by a desire to "Make up for something I didn't do ... " Jen decides to deliver the package to her contact. When she tries to return home, Jen is pursued by Sgt. Streetman, and flees into the night, leaving her normal life forever behind her.

At the appointed hour, Jen arrives to deliver the package to her contact. When the contact appears, the secret agents of the church, the Seraphim, quickly subdue him. Jen avoids capture only because the occupants of a mysterious white van snatch her off the street.

Not knowing who her captors are, and remembering Goldman's admonition to "Trust no one, no one at all", Jen escapes their grasp and is once again pursued on the streets of Houston as a wanted "person of interest".

While hiding in a burned out studio, Jen meets Shad the artist, and hears his tale of torture and oppression at the hands of the theocracy. Shad also happens to be a member of the underground organization led by "Jessie the Liberator", the same organization that had previously pulled Jen off the street. Against her will, Jen is drawn into the underground network of interfaith freedom fighters led by The Liberator.

Deep under the city streets, Jen meets the core of "witnesses" led by Jessie, and begins to grasp the full extent of the resistance forming against the theocratic order represented by Sgt. Streetman.

Jen strikes a bargain with Jessie to insure the package is delivered into the hands of its intended recipients. In so doing, Jen makes the ultimate sacrifice and the contents of the mysterious package are revealed to the audience.

Saying any more, including which character is the librarian, would spoil your viewing of the film.

"After Twilight" is a cautionary tale of the near future delivered in the form of a classic film noir thriller. The film's central theme is the inherent dangers of combining religion with politics and the inevitable corruption of both.

Case Study No. 0300: Casey Porterfield

Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island (Part 5) - Casey
10:28
A video walkthrough of "Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island". In this section, I tell a HORRIBLE PUN while finishing Holt's Seamanship quiz. This involves looking stuff up on the computer, and exploring near the lighthouse to find a male dungeness crab. At the lighthouse, I find a piece of wood from a shipwreck (which becomes important later). Holt gives us a GPS for passing his exam, and we kayak until we find a message in a bottle. Then we call Casey at the Maritime Library about the shipwreck. He wants us to take a wood sample. Then we visit Whale World, where Andy tells us a little about the message in the bottle. He sends us to the Hot Kettle Cafe, where Jenna tells us all about Hilda Swenson, the "crazy" ex-mayor who sends the messages in bottles.

[Nancy Drew visits Katie's boat to ask about a clue]
KATIE: What's up?
NANCY: I found this piece of wood on the beach. There's something strange about it.
KATIE: What do you mean? Let's see it.
[cut to Katie holding the piece of wood]
KATIE: Ouch! Those splinters are sharp!
[cut back to a closeup shot of Katie]
KATIE: That is odd. It looks like it's been in the water a long time, but if that were the case, those edges would be dull. That looks like it broke off of something just recently.
NANCY: That's exactly what I was thinking. Any idea where it came from?
KATIE: Could be off a cargo ship, I guess. But you know who you should ask? Casey Porterfield. He works at the Maritime Library in Port Townsend. You should give him a call. His number's 360-555-3095. He loves checking out stuff like this.
NANCY: See you in a bit.
KATIE: Be careful out there.
[Nancy takes out her cellphone and calls the librarian ("PORTERFIELD, CASEY 1-360-555-3095"), as the voice of an older man answers]
CASEY: [from off camera] Maritime Library. This is Casey.
NANCY: Hi, my name is Nancy Drew. Katie Firestone suggested I give you a call?
CASEY: [from off camera] Katie who?
NANCY: Katie Firestone?
CASEY: [from off camera] Never heard of her.
NANCY: Oh.
CASEY: [from off camera] I know a marine biologist named Katie Firestone.
NANCY: Yes, that's her. I'm staying with her here in Snake Horse Harbor.
CASEY: [from off camera] Oh. Well, then, what can I do for ya?
NANCY: She said you might be able to help me identify the ship that this piece of plywood I found on the beach came from.
CASEY: [from off camera] How do you know it came from a ship?
NANCY: Because it says "S.S." on it. The rest of the name is missing.
CASEY: [from off camera] Doesn't mean anything. Now if it said "S.S." - which stands for "steamship" - that'd be different.
NANCY: Uh, actually, that is what it says.
CASEY: [from off camera] Oh. Well, then, it came from a ship. Or should I say, shipwreck. What kind of wood is it?
NANCY: I don't know ... old?
CASEY: [from off camera] Ha ha ha! Sorry, for a second there, I thought you said "old."
NANCY: Actually, uh, that is what I said.
CASEY: [from off camera] You're about as much use as a beanie in a hurricane. Look, if you want me to tell you what shipwreck that wood came from, you're gonna have to tell me what kinda wood it is.
NANCY: But I have no idea.
CASEY: [from off camera] Well, you just get yourself a book on wood and figure it out. Maybe Katie has one. Soon as you do, call me back. I love checking out stuff like this.
[he hangs up]

[...]

[Nancy returns to Katie's boat (which had been ransacked by unknown assailants) and finds all of her books on the floor and out of order]
NANCY: [yelling to Katie at the other end of the boat] Apparently our saboteur took all the books out of the drawer up here. Must've been looking for something. Want me to put them away?
KATIE: [from off camera] If you could put them back in the drawer for me, that would be awesome.
[she opens the empty drawer]
NANCY: [to herself] Okay. What's the best way to get all these in here with no space left over?
[Nancy neatly puts away all the books, then pulls out a copy of "Arboreal Morphology" by Irina Predoviciu, PhD.]

Intended Audience
Scientists and researchers versant in fundamental botanical conventions who are interested in understanding more complex morphological issues of higher-order, vascular perennial vegetation will find this book to be an indispensable reference.
A variety of topics will be covered such as metabolic functionality of parenchyma cells, extractive inductance, microscopic tracheid analyses including dentae ray and narrow ray forms as well as epitehlial growth patterns.
Advanced techniques in microtome surfacing and macrophotography will also be addressed.

NANCY: [to herself] "Complex morphological issues"? "Microscopic tracheid analyses"? "Microtome surfacing"?
[she looks at the "About the Author" section, which has a picture of a young female botanist]

Dr. Predoviciu is the assistant director of the National Wood Laboratory located in Crivitz, Wisconsin.
She holds a doctorate in botany from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and has worked as a consultant for a variety of organizations including The Timber and Wood Association of Greater Manhasset and the Federation of Lumberjacks.
She is host of Wisconsin's favorite radio program, "What Wood Am I?" and offers free consultations on wood identification (www.predoviciu.lab/ consult.htm)
Published by the National Wood Laboratory; Crivitz, Wisconsin 715-555-9663

NANCY: [to herself] Oh, I don't know if this book is for me, but maybe if I give Doctor Predoviciu a call, she can help me out ...
[she takes out her cellphone and calls the doctor ("PREDOVICIU, DR. 1-715-555-9663"), as the voice of a woman with a Russian accent answers]
IRINA: [from off camera] This is Doctor Predoviciu.
NANCY: Hi, my name is Nancy Drew and I'd like some help identifying this piece of wood I found.
IRINA: [from off camera] I'd be happy to assist. Do you have our mailing address?
NANCY: Well, that's the problem. I don't have time to send it to you. Would it be possible to identify it over the phone?
IRINA: [from off camera] Certainly ... Just hold it up to the phone for a couple of seconds and I'll take a reading.
[Nancy says nothing]
IRINA: [from off camera] I'm kidding, of course. I usually don't do this over the phone, but I'll give it a try. You will, however, need to take a look at your sample under a microscope.
NANCY: Oops, I better go do that. I'll call you right back!
[she hangs up, then uses Katie's microscope]
NANCY: [to herself] One slice of wood. One glass slide ... There! This is gonna look so cool under the microscope. Let's have a look.
[she looks at the wood sample under the microscope, then calls the doctor back]
IRINA: [from off camera] Irina Predoviciu speaking.
NANCY: Hi, this is Nancy Drew again. I've got the sample all ready.
IRINA: [from off camera] All right, we'll get started. Where did you find this wood?
NANCY: It's a piece of driftwood, probably used for a crate.
IRINA: [from off camera] Is the wood sample black, brown, or yellow?
NANCY: Brownish.
IRINA: [from off camera] Brown-brown or brown-reddish?
NANCY: Brown-reddish.
IRINA: [from off camera] Does the sample have many holes, just a couple, or none at all?
NANCY: Many.
IRINA: [from off camera] And are there some holes that are big and some that are small, or are they all the same size?
NANCY: They're all the same size.
IRINA: [from off camera] Okay. And the holes are really really tiny, right?
NANCY: No, they're pretty sizable.
IRINA: [from off camera] Then you've got a tropical hardwood. I was assuming the sample was a North American wood ... All right. Are there any distinguishable horizontal lines on the sample?
NANCY: Yes, there are horizontal lines.
IRINA: [from off camera] If this wood is used for crating, then it's probably Luan. It's fairly common in plywood, but it's a rainforest timber so it's declining in popularity.
NANCY: Luan, all right! Thanks for your help!
IRINA: [from off camera] Glad to have been of service.
[she hangs up, then calls the librarian]
CASEY: [from off camera] Maritime Library. This is Casey.
NANCY: Hi, this is Nancy Drew. I called before, about the driftwood?
CASEY: [from off camera] Never heard'a ya. Now if you'da said Nancy Drew ...
NANCY: Yes, that's me, Nancy Drew ... Katie Firestone's friend!
CASEY: [from off camera] So, what kind of wood are we talking about here, Nancy?
NANCY: Luan.
CASEY: [from off camera] Well, if that driftwood did come from a cargo container that's part of a shipwreck, there's a good chance I can figure out which one. Call me back in an hour or so.
NANCY: You can identify a ship by what its cargo containers are made out of?
CASEY: [from off camera] Ever since the hobo spider got into the US by laying eggs in the wood crating of ships coming from Europe, the feds've made sure that cargo ships keep real careful records. 'Course, I'll be taking things like tides, currents, weather conditions, proximity to Snake House Harbor ... I'll be taking all those factors into consideration, too.
NANCY: I really appreciate you're doing this for me, Casey.
CASEY: [from off camera] And well you should!

[...]

[Nancy calls back the librarian]
CASEY: [from off camera] Maritime Library. This is Casey.
NANCY: Hi. This is Nancy Drew. Any luck finding what shipwreck that piece of driftwood came from?
CASEY: [from off camera] Sorry, can't talk now. I'm waiting for a real important call from Nancy Drew.
NANCY: Casey, that's me ... I'm Nancy Drew!
CASEY: [from off camera] Oh ... Then I got some good news.
NANCY: You know the name of the shipwreck?
CASEY: [from off camera] The S.S. Whitechapel Dawn. Sank five years ago right there in the channel outside Snake Horse Harbor, 'bout a mile and a half due northwest of the lighthouse.
NANCY: Really?
CASEY: [from off camera] I hear that channel up there's been pretty busy, what with that orphaned whale messing things up for the fishermen and all. Anyway, everything fits except one thing.
NANCY: I knew it was too good to be true.
CASEY: [from off camera] The Whitechapel Dawn went down in deep water. Real deep water. Too deep for currents to be carrying debris up from it. Just not possible.
NANCY: Could a recent storm have churned things up down there?
CASEY: [from off camera] I've been doing this type of research for twenty years, young lady! When I say something's not possible, it's not possible!
NANCY: Yet somehow a piece of wood from it washed ashore ... Was there anything unusual about that ship?
CASEY: [from off camera] It was just a regular old freighter bound for San Francisco from Vancouver, British Columbia. Nothing unusual about it, if you don't count the rumors.
NANCY: What rumors?
CASEY: [from off camera] About the smuggling.
NANCY: The ship was smuggling something?
CASEY: [from off camera] After it sank, some crew members said there was something unusual about the cargo it'd been carrying, that's all. No specifics. Just rumors.
NANCY: How many people went down with the ship?
CASEY: [from off camera] Zero. Everybody managed to survive. Official cause was foul weather, but whenever a boat goes down in those parts, they always unofficially blame it on ... Oh, what do they call that sea serpent up there?
NANCY: Caddy?
CASEY: [from off camera] No thanks ... Caddy! That's what they call it, Caddy! Anyway, this has been fun, young lady, but I need to get back to work. By the way, I just got done emailing you something.
NANCY: What?
CASEY: [from off camera] I said, I just got done emailing you something!
NANCY: Great, thanks ... Well, goodbye Casey.
CASEY: [from off camera] Goodbye, Caddy.
[he hangs up]
NANCY: [pause] I certainly hope he doesn't operate heavy machinery.
[she goes to her computer and checks her email]

Thought You'd Like To See This
Nancy,
I'm kind of a stained glass art freak, and came
across a web page during my travels in
cyberspace that I thought you might find
interesting, since you're staying in Snake
Horse Harbor.
Check out www.bombeck.lab/ examples/royal.htm
Enjoy!
Yours,
Casey

[she visits the website "Jacob Bombeck, Glass Artisan" and reads the line "To see some of Jacob Bombeck's best work in its original setting, check out the Hot Kettle Cafe, formerly known as the Royal Flush Saloon, in Snake Horse Harbor on Deception Island, one of the San Juan Islands located in Washington State."]
NANCY: [to herself] The Hot Kettle was originally called the Royal Flush Saloon. Interesting ...

From wikipedia.org:

Danger on Deception Island is the ninth installment in the Nancy Drew computer game series (made solely by Her Interactive). It is based on the Nancy Drew book Whispers in the Fog. The game takes place on a real-life location, Deception Island.

When Katie Firestone, a friend of George Fayne, invites Nancy to Deception Island for a whale-watching excursion, the sleuth arrives to find Katie's tour boat heavily vandalized. A threatening note was left behind that warns Katie to "stop meddling". Katie requests that Nancy not contact the sheriff. Nancy then begins to investigate, and, after hearing many opinions from the three other characters in the game, learns about the orca that has recently shown up in the channel on the island. The townspeople are have constantly been in argument with each other since the orphaned orca showed up as to what to do about it, or if to do anything at all. Nancy has the opportunity to visit a local cafe and try the clam chowder, visit the whale museum and play for a chance at a free whale watch, investigate an abandoned lighthouse, explore sea caves, and in her free time, build sand castles on the beach. She also discovers something sinister that has been plaguing Deception Island for generations...and will require the help of one of its most legendary and eccentric past citizens to solve the mystery.

My First Sex Teacher
Directed by Brett Brando

[scene opens with student Mikey Butders sitting in Professor Roxy Anne's classroom]
PROFESSOR: [holds up paper] Mikey, is this your research paper?
MIKEY BUTDERS: It sure is! Pretty good, isn't it?
PROFESSOR: Your resources ... They're ridiculous!
MIKEY BUTDERS: Ridiculous? Well, they're completely legit! I mean, what's wrong with the paper? It's flawless!
PROFESSOR: [holds up a book] Hello? It's the "San Bernadino Diet"?
MIKEY BUTDERS: [nods]
PROFESSOR: [holds up another book] "I'm OK, You're Shit"?
MIKEY BUTDERS: Oh, that's a good one right there, Professor Anne!
PROFESSOR: Who helped you with this paper?
MIKEY BUTDERS: Uh well, y'know, I went down to the library and ... uh, Miss Lange, the librarian, was very helpful with the paper.
PROFESSOR: Wait a minute, our Miss Lange, here at the university, helped you with this paper?
MIKEY BUTDERS: Yep, Miss Lange. Sure did.
PROFESSOR: [sigh] I'm gonna have to call her right now.
MIKEY BUTDERS: Do what you gotta do ...
[she picks up the phone]
PROFESSOR: Yes hi, can I have the library, please? Yes hi, Miss Lange please ... Yes hi, Miss Lange? Hi, this is Miss Anne. Yes. Uh, I was wondering if you really did help Mikey with his research paper? You did? Okay, can I please have you come down to the classroom as soon as possible? Yes, at once. Thank you.
[she hangs up]
MIKEY BUTDERS: You got her to come down here?
PROFESSOR: Mm-hmm.
MIKEY BUTDERS: [rubs his hands with glee]
PROFESSOR: We're gonna get to the bottom of this real quick, Mister ...
[cut to Sindy Lange entering the classroom]
MISS LANGE: Yes Professor, what can I do for you?
PROFESSOR: Miss Lange, did you help Mikey with his research paper?
MISS LANGE: [takes off her glasses] Help him?
PROFESSOR: Did you give him these books for his resources?
[she points to the books on her desk]
PROFESSOR: I mean, look at these! These came out of your library?
MIKEY BUTDERS: Very modern library, Misses--
MISS LANGE: Hey, not now ... Well, these did come out of my library, but they're not for everybody. I gave these to him for his personal use.
MIKEY BUTDERS: She gave them to me as a--
MISS LANGE: Not now! I gave them to him for his personal use, not ... I didn't think he was gonna write a report.
[she looks at Mikey]
MISS LANGE: Are you dumb or something?
MIKEY BUTDERS: [smiles]
PROFESSOR: Wait a minute ... Are you fraternizing with this student, Miss Lange?
MISS LANGE: Hmm, that's not what I would call it.
PROFESSOR: What would you call it?
MISS LANGE: Helping with his research, but--
PROFESSOR: Hmm. Did you know that when we signed onto this university, we signed a contract? No fraternizing with the students.
MISS LANGE: Well technically, I'm just a librarian here. And when I got the job, I didn't sign a contract. So that means, I can fuck whoever I want.
PROFESSOR: Oh really?
MISS LANGE: [to Mikey] You had this planned out the whole time, didn't you?
MIKEY BUTDERS: You're goddamn right I did! Hottest professor in school, hot librarian such as yourself. Every man's dream come true.
PROFESSOR: This is very inappropriate ...

[Chris and Peter enter the Quahog Public Library]
CHRIS: What's a library, dad?
PETER: It's a place where homeless people go to lose themselves in literature and forget about their refrigerator-box homes and the wretched state of their feet ...
[cut to Peter at the front desk talking to the elderly female librarian]
LIBRARIAN: May I help you?
PETER: [snickers] Um, excuse me. Do you have any of these books?
[he hands her a list, and she begins reading off the titles]
LIBRARIAN: Let's see ... "Silver Dollars" by Hugh Jareolas.
[Peter snickers]
LIBRARIAN: Hugh Jareolas, I don't know that author ... What else? "Stuck Between Her Teeth" by Harry Nutz.
[Peter laughs even louder]
LIBRARIAN: No, don't have that one ... but I do have his first book.
[she hands him a book, then cut to a closeup of the cover which reads "Cup 'Em Gently by Harry Nutz"]
PETER: [confused] Oh ... Th-thanks.

[scene opens inside a library, as a young female librarian (wearing a shawl and glasses attached to a chain around her neck) is sitting at her desk preparing to eat a chicken sandwich from McDonald's, while an older male librarian (balding with a sweater vest and glasses) is shelving books behind her]
LIBRARIAN: [looks up and shushes an unseen unheard patron] Shh!
[she proceeds to take a bite]
NARRATOR: With the bold taste of McDonald's new McChicken sandwiches ... be prepared.
[as dramatic music plays, the librarian gets up and grabs the male librarian, kissing him passionately before stealing his bookcart and riding it off-camera]
[cut to the librarian riding the cart down the hall, reaching out and slapping the behind of a male patron who was bending down to take a drink from the water fountain]
[cut to the librarian riding the cart through the stacks, striking dramatic poses while continuing to eat her chicken sandwich]
NARRATOR: After all ...
[the librarian jumps off the cart, which continues rolling and smashes through a glass wall, landing several stories below (demonstrated by an exterior shot of the "Central Library" sign as the glass shatters) with a loud crash]
NARRATOR: Just because your sandwich is bold, doesn't mean you have to be.
[the librarian looks down at her sandwich, tugs on her shawl, then walks off]
[cut to an old man sitting on a park bench outside, as the book cart rolls past ... so he reaches out, grabs a book (while letting the cart continue to roll past him), and begins to read]
