The Librarian: Quest for the Spear Page #2

---

- You do?

Sure. You like to learn.

- Yes.

- And you're in your 30s and still in school.

- Exactly.

- And you live with your mother...

...and you're okay with that.

- Yes.

No. No.

Wait.

I have to change my life.

- I would.

- Anyone thirsty?

Yeah, I wish I could stay,

but I really have to get back to work.

You're going?

So soon?

It was nice meeting you all.

I hope things work out for you.

Thank you.

Mom, can you please

not do that anymore?

I just want my boy to find love.

Is that so terrible?

I will.

One day.

When it's right.

The things that make life worth living...

...you know, they can't be thought here.

They must be felt here.

Maybe you don't know so much.

"Assistant data processor. "

"Fry cook. "

You have been selected to interview

for a prestigious position...

... with the Metropolitan Public Library.

Now, how did you do that?

How may I help you, sir?

Next!

Next!

I've never been treated so badly

in my entire life.

This is ridiculous.

Next!

Next!

I'm not... I'm not gonna...

I'm not gonna...

Where do you think you're going?

Yes, you. Get in here.

What makes you think

you could be the Librarian?

Well, I've read a lot of books.

Don't try to be funny.

I don't do funny.

I'm sorry.

What makes you think

you could be the Librarian?

I know the Dewey decimal system,

Library of Congress...

...research paper orthodoxy, web searching.

I can set up an RSS feed.

Everybody knows that.

They're librarians.

What makes you think

you're the Librarian?

I know other stuff?

Mr...

..."Flynn Carsen"...

...stop wasting my time.

Tell me something you know that nobody

else who has walked in here could tell me.

You have mononucleosis.

Your marriage broke up two months ago,

you broke your nose when you were 4...

...and you live with three cats.

Is that what you had in mind?

Swollen parajugular lymph nodes

and distended eyelids are clearly mono.

It takes three months for an indentation

on the ring finger to completely disappear.

Yours is approximately two-thirds gone.

Your surgeon gave you

a terminus paralateral scar...

...which is given to children

under the age of 6.

And I can clearly see three

distinct types of cat hair.

A white Himalayan, a tortoiseshell

and an orange-striped tabby.

I didn't break my nose till I was 5.

What's more important than knowledge?

- Where did that come from?

- Just answer the question.

More important than...

The things that make life worth living

can't be thought here...

...they must be felt here?

The interviews are over.

Send everyone home.

Not you.

There will be a six-month trial period.

If you don't screw up...

...then you will officially be the Librarian.
