[scene opens with a male librarian (short brown hair, white t-shirt, brown shorts) walking up the stairs towards a public library, with a cloak slung over his shoulder]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] You can never really leave the past behind. People, they see me as some quiet librarian ... Puttin' books away. Sittin' at a desk.
[cut to the librarian unlocking the front door to the library]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] But that's not the true me ...
[a man walks up behind the librarian and puts his hand on his shoulder, then talks to him in a nasally voice]
LIBRARIAN: Oh, hey Greg. Waddaya need?
GREG: I'm looking for a particular book.
LIBRARIAN: Yeah, hold on. Lemme get that for you.

GREG: We both know it's too late for that! Now you shall p-perish!
[he holds the book over his head]
GREG: Eh, Rod of Resurrection!
[he makes a "wanking" motion with his right hand (kind of like summoning the Schwartz in "Spaceballs") as a white light emanates from his crotch and envelopes the screen]

GREG: [in voice over] I am the Dungeon Master ...
[he summons more beams of light from his crotch and shoots them outwards]
GREG: [in voice over] King of all things that are diabolical and unfair ... heh heh heh heh.
