The Librarian: Quest for the Spear2004

Charlene:
What makes you think you could be the Librarian?

Flynn Carsen:
Well, I've read a lot of books. [laughs]

Charlene:
Don't try to be funny. I don't do funny.

Flynn Carsen:
I'm sorry.

Charlene:
[after a pause] What makes you think you could be the Librarian?

Flynn Carsen:
I know the Dewey Decimal System, Library of Congress, research paper orthodoxy, web searching. I can set up an RSS feed...

Charlene:
Everybody knows that. They're librarians. What makes you think you are the Librarian?

Flynn Carsen:
[confused] I know other stuff?

Charlene:
Mr... Flynn Carsen, stop wasting my time. Tell me something you know that nobody else who has walked in here could tell me.

Flynn Carsen:
[examining her] You have mononucleosis. Your marriage broke up two months ago. You broke your nose when you were four, 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 two-thirds gone. Your plastic surgeon gave you a terminus paralateral scar, which is given to children under the age of six, and I can clearly see three distinct types of cat hair. A white Himalayan, a tortoiseshell, and an orange striped tabby.

Charlene:
[slightly embarassed] I didn't break my nose until I was five.
