Patron: How do you get away with having all of this adult material? Grant: We have an adult section. And, honestly, we're pretty quiet about it. Text box: Later. In Lucy's office. Lucy: Have you seen this article about these library-related bumper stickers? Headline: Librarians do it "Quietly" An image of a bumper sticker that says the above, with a shushing woman's face, poorly designed.

Patron: As you can see I need some help. Grant: Because you've got food all over the computer? Patron: That's not what I need help with. Grant: You're the one who set up the chocolate fountain over there last week, right? Patron: Yes! And I'm still not sure why you people took issue with it. Grant: I'm going to get a vacuum you can use to clean this up. Patron: But that's not my issue. I need help searching your journal databases! Plus a wet wipe if you can spare one!

Jody: Is that a diaper on your head? Patron: I'll ask the questions here, Ms. Government Agent. Patron: I lost my faith in tinfoil. Jody: That's not a question. Patron: Do you know of anything better for blocking my thoughts? Jody: Why would you trust anyone employed by the government? Jody: Maybe a helmet? Or what about a bucket? I think there might be one in the lost and found.

Martin: I'm afraid you can't pass out pamphlets in the library. Patron: But you distribute a bunch in your lobby! Martin: We make them available if they meet our criteria. If you'd like us to consider putting yours there, you can leave a few with me. Martin: The information in here is really interesting, and the writing is quite good! Patron: Why would you have assumed otherwise? Patron: What happens if they don't get approved? Martin: It's better not to ask.

The patron is holding a little puppet that looks a lot like a dirty Q-tip. Patron: This is my friend Henry, the Helpful Tip! He'd like to help out during an upcoming storytime. Jane: Uh - Patron: Tip: "Hi boys and girls! Remember to always put library books where you found them if you don't check them out!' Jane: What - Patron: "Reshelving is much more polite than making a mess, even if you put something in the wrong place!" Jane: That's not - Patron" "If you see on of my brethren, make sure to stick him deep in your ear! Demons deposit earwax there to keep you from hearing stories."

Patron: There's a bath mat in the men's room. Martin: Oh. Why are you irritated about that? Patron: It's not a place to bathe. Martin: Well the floors can get slick in there. Maybe it's a good thing. Martin: Is it a non-slip type? Is it tasteful? Patron: Why aren't you marching in there to see for yourself? Martin: Because you seem to need to feel heard. Also, I'm trying to decide if it's safe to come out from behind the desk.

Patron: There's an empty shelf over there. Martin: The pages are shifting the collection around a bit. Patron: I didn't ask you why there's an empty shelf, I was just sharing an observation. Martin: Oh, okay. Patron: Do you see an empty shelf over there? Martin: Yes. Patron: How can that be true when you're not looking over there? Martin: I'm giving it the side-eye.
