That's right.

And there will be prizes

for all of the winners.

Bette and I will also

be decorating trees,

but don't worry, the staff is not a part

of the official competition.

Do you think this will really work?

I don't know, but that's

why this is so important.

We all love the library.

We can't just stand by

and watch it be destroyed.

Um...

Okay, so, uh, this

is the sign-up sheet.

If you could put your name

and contact information

and the theme of your

tree if you know it,

if not you can email me with it later.

Is there anything else?

Who's going to judge?

To be determined.

What are you doing here?

Is it not a public meeting?

Yes.

But, for people with hearts,

not fungi with black souls.

That's cute.

Nice move, by the way.

Um, going to my grandmother.

Thank you.

You really won't leave

this alone, will you?

Nope.

Okay.

I tell you what, I'm going to do a tree,

because I love competition,

and I'm pretty sure that

I'm going to beat you.

So.

Oh, not a chance.

Not a chance, she says.

Nope.

Okay.

You're on.

You're on.

Signup sheet is, uh?

Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

I remember you from

the computer lab, right?

I loaned you a pen.

I'm Artie.

Deirdre.

I know.

You're the artist.

Did I tell you that?

I just know.

I signed up to do a tree,

but I have no idea what to do.

I've got some great ideas

for an electronic display,

but I'm not really the

creative professional.

Well, I'm more of an amateur myself.

I work at a gallery in the village.

Well, maybe we could work together.

I studied here, so technology's

going to be my theme.

A collaboration...

I'd love to.

When do you think we can get to work?

Really? Oh.

Okay, I don't know,

um... tomorrow afternoon,

I've got the equipment in my apartment.

Okay, great, your place.

Around four o'clock?

Perfect.

Perfect!

I'm right around the corner.

Okay.

I'll see you at four.

See you then.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye!

Hi.

Wow.

Twice in one day.

I didn't think anybody ran

into each other in New York.

What?

What, you're not still mad at me

for entering into the contest?

Nope.

Yes.

No, you know what?

I am mad at you for mocking my contest

by signing up for a

tree, but I am furious

with you for tearing down our library.

Wow! Dramatic.

It is low to taint Christmas

with your malicious lies.

What were you planning on?

Putting a little devil at the

top of your Christmas tree?

Did you not mastermind this entire thing

to have my grandmother

see all the pretty trees

and get all teary and

sentimental, and then

cancel her permission for redevelopment?

I'm just trying to bring

a little perspective

to how important this building is.
