The Librarians (2014) s04e12 Episode Script
And the Echoes of Memory
If Martin Luther had had his way, bowling would be called platzbahnkegeln, and there would only be nine pins, but since we are socially conditioned to finding order in sets of ten Why am I talking to you? Flynn.
Nicole.
I thought you left.
I did.
I want you to come with me.
(INHALES SHARPLY) Look, you're already packed.
Nicole, when you told me that I should fight against being a prisoner of this place, I realized I'm not a prisoner of this place.
The Library pushes me forward, it doesn't hold me back.
Like Baird.
Baird? Baird.
To whom I owe a bowling date, and with whom I intend to tether to the Library.
I don't want to be uncertain anymore.
I love the Library and I love Baird.
And I'm ready.
I see.
I'm sorry.
Uh, you know, I wish No, I'm sorry.
(GRUNTS) I should have specified I wasn't asking.
(SOFT CHUCKLE) (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) - (MUSIC PLAYING) - (ALARM BLARING) You must remember the Library or it'll be gone forever.
Flynn's tethering ring.
I remember Flynn from the the Library.
(SIGHS) How do you hold something as big as the Library in your head? Flynn keeps everything in his head using um a memory palace.
(EXHALES) I did it! I'm here! (LAUGHS) Okay, I just have to focus on specific things and everything else will fill into place around it.
Okay.
(PANTING) Ah! The Spear of Destiny! (CHUCKLES) Yes! Okay.
And then um here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
The Lions! The Lions! Yeah.
Whoo! And right there is that's the, um the Ark the Ark of the Covenant! Yes! I remember it.
I remember it all.
Okay.
Okay, I did it.
So where are you, Flynn? Where am I gonna find you? "TV"? Okay.
Let's go find a TV.
Fat and Flour? That all they serve? What else is there? ANNOUNCER ON TV: It's the "I Fell Down!" show! - (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS ON TV) - Because everyone falls down.
The only entertainment you'll ever need.
(SLIDE WHISTLE PLAYS) - (LAUGHTER) - (CANNED LAUGHTER) And now, here's your host - (TV STATIC) - Eve? Flynn? Flynn, where are you? What's going on? To answer your first question, no, I can't hear you.
- That wasn't my - This is a recording.
I've transmitted it directly into the glass of my tethering ring, where it's stored kind of like a hard drive.
And if you're seeing this, that means that you've found the ring and that Nicole is close to completing her goal.
Eve, brace yourself.
Nicole is evil.
Ya think? Da, da, da, da, da! Before you go and defend her, she hit me on the head and kidnapped me.
Her plan is to get us to abandon the Library.
With it being untethered, it would create a world not only where the Library ceases to exist, but where it has never existed.
- (IMITATES EXPLOSION) - But how does the Library never existing make it so food doesn't have flavor or color doesn't exist? As you know, the Library is much more than a storehouse for artifacts, it is where we keep our knowledge.
And without the Library, that knowledge would cease to have any value, it would have no place.
All intellect, all curiosity would become worthless.
I cannot even imagine what it's like where you are right now in that world.
What is it like? Um, I mean, it's a little I keep forgetting, this a recording, I can't hear you.
- (SIGHS) - Anyway, to get our world back, you need to hold onto your memories of the Library.
Your new reality is gonna try and wipe out the old, so you're gonna need to build what's called a memory palace.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already did that, skip ahead, skip ahead.
But you're very smart, you probably already did that.
Aw, sweetie.
Thank you.
You need to find me before you forget.
And the others.
It will take all of us together to get the Library back.
How? Ugh.
I don't even know where to begin.
She's coming.
I have to go! (TV STATIC) ANNOUNCER: We'll be back after these messages.
- (AUDIENCE APPLAUSE) - Hey do you need a way to get from one place to another? Do you want to do that in a car? Come on down to The Company's Used Car.
Where every car is perfectly average.
Come on down and see me, Jacob Stone.
Well, that's one place to start.
BAIRD: Spear.
Lions, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Ark.
(SIGHS) - Stone! - Well, hello, little lady! - Can I help you? - I Of course I can.
No one can choose between these fine cars without a little of assistance.
Let me ask you a question: how do you feel about brown? I don't really feel anything.
Well, that's exactly right.
You're not meant to.
This is perfect for basic conveyance.
Do you remember me? - Should I? - Think, Stone.
We used to work together with a group of amazing people who do incredible things.
Do you have any memory of that? Listen, lady, I don't know what you're I'm talking about The Library.
The Li That was a dream.
You remember.
I've never told anyone about that.
You this I've dreamt about that since I was a little boy.
You - you are the thought police.
I can't - The what? No.
I can't be talking to you right now, okay? - Stone - I can get in trouble.
you are the world's leading authority on art, architecture, history.
You've travelled the world and dug up mummies, and solved ancient puzzle boxes that have stumped scholars for centuries.
This can't be real.
It is.
It's not a dream.
You are not a used car salesman, Jacob Stone.
You? You're a Librarian.
And if you come with me, I'll prove it to you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Uh, oh, a test drive? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we could do a test drive.
(ENGINE STARTS) Yes.
Yes, she's with him now.
They're going someplace.
I don't know.
She just appeared out of nowhere.
- Where are we going? - To find the others.
Although I have no idea where I might do that.
You can always look them up in The Company directory.
Company directory? Yeah, everyone, in one way or another, works for The Company.
Me included.
Does this company have a name? "The Company.
" Creative.
What does The Company do? You know, I never thought to ask.
(MUSIC PLAYING) Cillian! Your stapling has fallen off center by an entire millimeter.
But I staple the NRW report to the PDX report in the exact same spot every time.
Was your mind wandering again, Cillian? We don't want to have to report a problem.
No, sir.
My stapling will be perfectly centered from now on.
See that it is.
Your reports are backing up! (SIGHS) Cassandra.
How do you know my name? We're here to help you.
I promise, my stapling will be perfectly centered.
I don't need oversight.
That's not what I meant.
You look familiar.
Both of you.
Have we met before? I think maybe.
In a dream.
Okay.
It's been nice talking to you.
- I need to get back to work.
- What? No, no.
I just saw it in your eyes.
You've had the dream! BAIRD: Cassandra, it wasn't a dream.
It's a memory.
A memory of the Library.
I don't know any Library.
It's a place um um, it's a place (SIGHS) Right there was the What was it? It was (SIGHS) Okay.
Right there was kitty, kitty, kitty.
The Lions.
And right there was the the Ark! Okay, I still have it.
I still have the Library.
Look, I can't have someone who's dressed like the thought police questioning me about a library.
I have a backup.
Hey, I get it.
I do.
If you don't do your part, then everything stops, right? - That's right.
- Right.
You don't have time for anything else.
You don't have time for dreams.
Dreams about a place with endless books, amazing artifacts.
And stuff like this.
Give that back, they'll see it.
What is it? I don't know.
But it's beautiful.
BAIRD: It is.
Cassandra, you're a mathematical genius, with a brain that can connect Einstein's Theory of Relativity to the smell of pancake syrup.
Come with us.
I No, I want to stay here and keep doing my stapling.
I don't want anyone to think that I'm a problem.
Too late for that.
Is there something I can help you gentlemen with? I haven't seen anything (WHISPERS) I can't believe you did this to me.
Cassandra, quick question: is there another way out of here? We're looking for Cassandra Cillian.
Her desk is right here.
We won't reach the exit without being seen.
(PAPER RUSTLING) I got this.
(TUBE THUDDING) Go! What is that? SUPERVISOR: The tubes are jammed! She stapled off-center! Oh, no! (EXPLOSION) SUPERVISOR: No, no! This is not my fault.
This is not my fault! This way! This way.
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Hey! That should hold them.
(SIGHS) That was close.
Now we just need to find Ezekiel.
Ezekiel? Ezekiel Jones.
Do you know him? ANNOUNCER: Welcome back to the "I Fell Down!" show with your host, Ezekiel Jones! Thank you! Thank you! You're too (CHUCKLES) Oops! I fell down! (LAUGHS) Now, our last entry tonight comes from Tom and Gary.
And let's just hope this one doesn't fall flat.
(CANNED LAUGHTER) BAIRD: Delivery for Jones.
I'll take those.
I'm all for a good pratfall, but an entire show? This is the only show.
Are you sure Ezekiel Jones is a Librarian? I mean, he's like, the most famous person in the whole world! (LAUGHING) (LAUGHING SUBSIDES) I think he's better looking in person.
How are we gonna get to him with all these people? I have an idea.
Tom, how could you do that to Gary? (LAUGHS) Well, that's our show for tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
Make sure you come back next time for everybody's favorite segment, "Hey! You Startled Me!" - Good night! - (CANNED APPLAUSE) - DIRECTOR: And cut! - (LAUGHTER STOPS ABRUPTLY) - (BELL RINGS) - Great work, Ezekiel, as always.
As always? You know I was trying something new, right? Why on Earth would you want to do something new? Now, here's your script for tomorrow's show, and your itinerary for the week.
Oh, is it any different from last week's? Of course not.
(CASSANDRA AND STONE GIGGLING) I can't believe it's him! I think you're right, he is handsomer in person! I'm sorry, do I know you? Folks, you really shouldn't be Listen, we would like to submit our audition.
If you leave it with me, I'll No, we want to audition in person! - Yeah! - Yeah! We want to make sure that it's 100% before we put it down on camera.
- Right - You walk in and it's - Oh! - Oh! (CASSANDRA LAUGHS) Or maybe more classic, like ooh, ooh, ooh! That's fantastic.
Um, unfortunately, I actually have to go, but my producer Rachel here can answer any of your questions.
You guys are natural fallers.
If you put these falls on tape We want to make sure that it's perfect.
What about this? (GROANS) CASSANDRA: Also, I can go forward like Whoo! (GIGGLING) (TICKING) What's your best time? Oh! Who are you and how did you get in here? The Ezekiel Jones I know can pick a lock like that in two seconds.
Yeah, well, I am two seconds away from calling security.
You don't want to be a problem now, do you? You've been having dreams, right? What if I told you those dreams were real? D-dreams are illegal.
It's a big room, filled with filled with Books? Yes.
Books.
It's a real place.
It's called the It's called the (SIGHS) No, that's missing.
No, what's there that's missing, too? Oh, no, no, no.
Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty The Lions! The Lions are still there.
I still have it.
It's the Library! Ezekiel, there is a life that is better than this.
No, better than this? No, no, I am the host of the "I Fell Down!" show.
I want for nothing! That doesn't mean you don't want something else.
Ezekiel you've got to come help me, these people are Who's this? Call security! She's here to to kidnap me! Really, Jones? What's she doing? I don't know.
We got to get out of here.
Let's go.
(GASPS) Let me out! Let me out! I'm afraid not.
You're in my world now.
And I happily run it.
This little anti-alternate reality charm means I get to keep my memory while the rest of the world goes blind.
And in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
You're the head of The Company? I gave you a chance.
You could have lived peacefully like your friends.
But you had to be a problem.
Trying to remember.
Remember, remember.
I have to remember.
It's not (CRYING) I don't No, no, no, no, no.
It's all gone.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) It's all gone.
You're not going to like what happens next.
You should have just forgotten.
Who are you? (LAUGHS) Oh.
I see you already have.
- (POPS) - (GASPS, SOBS) WOMAN: And then I wondered, "Who figured out how to grind flour? And why?" And then I found my mind was chewing on the question for days and imagining the possible scenarios Stop right there.
I know the lure of imagination is strong, but every time you feel curiosity sneaking up on you, just remember, what you already know is enough.
ALL: Remember, what I already know is enough.
Remember EZEKIEL ON TV: Ooh, he took a serious nose dive there! And I hope he is rewarded with some sliders.
- (EZEKIEL LAUGHS) - (LAUGHS WEAKLY) I'm just curious, aren't you? What about telephonics? (YELLING) What about language? How did that evolve? Don't you want to know? What does fruit taste like? Don't you want to know? Poor woman.
Terminal case of curiosity, if I ever saw one.
And I should know.
(LAUGHS) He's funny.
I like him, in spite of myself.
Hello.
You're new.
New, like you haven't been here before.
Well, I haven't been here very long.
Not haven't been here, but haven't been here in the gray, in the paste.
There's too much color to you, too much bright.
Are you from the same words as me? "The same words"? Yeah, we define our world with words.
Chair, couch, TV; well, those are letters.
But everything else has a name, has a purpose, has a beauty.
Judson had a name, Jenkins has a name, Charlene has a name; those are names that carry on in my head.
What's yours? Eve.
- Eve Baird.
- Eve.
Like the moment of change in the day.
Eve, I think that you could really bring some changes here.
I'm Flynn.
Or patient 642, if you like.
Have we met before? Not in this place.
And I don't get out much.
You're nice.
And cute.
And completely crazy.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.
I like your yellow and your smile.
And you remind me of something that I don't want to forget.
Forget I have this feeling there's something I'm supposed to remember.
But I don't know what it is, it's all fuzzy.
I remember, I remember what you don't.
I remember my memory.
They keep trying to take little pieces of it, but I have the whole.
And that's what keeps it alive.
Keeps what alive? Hold that thought.
- Hey, what are you doing? - What? - You're not supposed to be here, - Ah! Eve, if you want to remember, find me.
You know what this means, right? You're gonna have to go for a reset! Gentlemen! Surely we can negotiate.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! - (WHOOSHING) - Ha-ha! Hello.
Goodbye.
And extend! And dance with me! Ha-ha! Over here.
Sound okay here? - In the tush! - (GROANS) (GIGGLING) (GROANS) Up! Patient #642! 642! Be gentle with me, I'm a delicate soul.
He got out again? Do you know how dangerous it is for him to be in the general population, especially now? He wouldn't be a problem if you would allow me to implement a more permanent treatment.
NICOLE: No.
He just needs another reset.
Then everything will be fine.
Right, Flynn? You just need a little help letting go of your old reality and accepting the new one.
And once you let go, it will be gone completely.
Yeah, you don't have to do this, Nicole.
This is silly.
I'll be good.
I'll be good.
I know you will.
(VELCRO RIPS) Now bite down.
(CREAKING) - (ELECTRICITY BUZZING) - (BABBLING) Well, folks, I better wrap things up before I slip up.
(LAUGHS) Good night, ladies and gentlemen.
- DIRECTOR: And cut.
- (BELL RINGS) What are they doing here? We don't need them.
They already took the lady away.
They just want to make sure nothing else will happen.
What did she want with you anyway? Nothing.
It was just nonsense.
What did she say? If she said anything suspicious to you, you should tell them.
Because as long as they are here, they're disrupting the show.
And The Company needs the show to run smoothly.
Even if that means getting a new host.
- Hi there! - (YELLS) What are you doing here? - Kidnapping you.
- (CAR DOOR OPENS) Company Men are just behind that door.
All I have to do is scream.
Yeah, but you're not going to.
'Cause they might start wondering why you're attracting so much attention.
If they haven't already.
I can't go with you, okay? I have a great life and I don't want to ruin it! Don't you guys have your own lives? Ever since I went with Baird, I'm starting to think this life is less and less real.
Come on, man, you really want The Company watching you so closely? Your life can't possibly be as good as you pretend it is.
(LAUGHS) And how could you be so sure, Cassandra? Because I know you.
I can feel it.
Because you know me, too.
And because I didn't tell you my name.
All right, what do you want me to do? Help us rescue Baird.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGING) Sub-basement six.
Hello? Flynn? BAIRD: What is this? A sword.
And a myth.
A sword myth.
Hey, it's you, the new one.
I saw them drag you down here.
Yes, they do that.
200 milliamperes right into my noggin! But, fortunately, I knew that they wanted my dreams, so I fortified myself, and built up a resistance.
My dreams aren't gone, just rearranged.
Do you like my friend? - Your friend the sword? - My friend the sword! He taught me how to parry and thrust! These are all my friends and family.
I feel like - I've been here.
- You have.
And you haven't.
It's very confusing when you jump the parallel.
How could you draw me if we've never met? The answer to that is in the question, Eve Baird.
We know each other.
We've been in this place with the books, together.
That's where I go in my dreams.
It's really nice in the Library.
The Library.
BOTH: Yes! She tries to take it from me, but I fight it, so I put everything down here in case she ever was able to cleave it out.
Somebody else can find it and they can build it.
Do you want to see my favorite one? - Yeah.
- This one here.
They look like they're bursting.
I've never felt that way.
Until I saw you.
You're nice.
And cute.
And completely crazy.
(GASPS) Flynn! - It's you.
- Eve, you found me.
I knew that you would.
I missed you.
You left.
I didn't mean to.
And I'm never leaving you or the Library again.
(DOOR OPENS) I have been very patient with you, Flynn.
I've been kind enough to let you live, Baird.
And this is how you repay me? By trusting our own memories? Getting our minds back? Your mind is not back.
It simply wasn't zapped hard enough.
No amount of zapping is gonna make us forget, Nicole.
When I first met you, you introduced me to the Library and it opened up continents for me, as it does for anybody, everybody, whether they know it or not.
I'm sorry that you feel like it betrayed you, but the world needs a Library, Nicole.
No, the world doesn't need the Library.
Which is good, because the world will never have it.
Doctor.
Does #642 need to be reset again? No.
Remember, that permanent procedure you mentioned? - Do it.
- (GASPS) To both of them.
Uh, uh All right, there's like a half a dozen guards here.
So how do we get in? I don't know! It's not like I've done this before.
Actually, I have a feeling that we have done this before.
The three of us, together.
So how do we do it? I remem I remember you know things about architecture.
Oh, that's right, you do! - Right? - Yeah.
But how exactly is that gonna help us get in? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Judging by the foundation of this building, it was built in the middle of the last century.
Which means the utility rooms were built on the side of the building, instead of the middle.
We go around that corner, through the door, I guarantee you it's a utility room.
We go through the utility room, less chance for guards being on the other side.
That's great.
How do we deal with the guards on this side? - You! - Me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You do this thing with numbers and your hands, - and you figure stuff out.
- Oh, with the that's you! - With my hands? - Yeah.
Holy moly.
STONE: What? What do you see? Everything.
Connections, numerals, angles, physics.
Timing.
The average male walking stride length is 30 inches, AVERAGE PACE: 3.
1 miles per hour.
The pivot ratio is 270 degrees, and this building has a footprint of 1,596 square feet.
(FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING IN DISTANCE) Which means we have 43 seconds until they come back around.
Come on! Some sort of alarm system.
Looks like I'm up.
STONE: Do you have any idea what you're doing? Not a single clue.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES, LATCH OPENS) Oh.
(SCOFFS) I'm good.
You're definitely something.
Go.
Stone, what are you doing? Just it doesn't feel (GRUNTS) What? - (GUN COCKS) - Hold it right there! Identify yourselves.
ALL: We're the Librarians.
Of course.
Carry on.
Okay, why did that work? CASSANDRA AND STONE: I have no idea.
Hey, guys, what's this permanent treatment? A girl could really use some advanced warning.
Don't worry.
They don't drill holes in your skull anymore.
They do it through the eye socket instead.
- Doc? - That's right.
The, um, eye socket is easier.
Uh, I can take over from here.
- You guys can go.
- Go? - What are you - (ORDERLIES GRUNT) Cassandra! Stone! Ezekiel! Come on, let's get out of here.
Okay.
Wait, there's someone I want you to meet first.
Oh, Flynn.
I'm so sorry this had to happen to you.
I really am.
(GRUNTING) Let's go.
Don't just stand there.
Go after them! (ALARM BLARING) (PATIENTS CLAMORING) No! Retreat! Ah! Back, back, back, back, back Go! Ah! Go through here! (CLAMORING) STONE: Go! - There! - (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) This is not gonna hold forever! All right, let's get out of here then.
Gah! We're trapped.
Yeah.
There's no way out! All right, there's not a moment to lose.
We have to manifest the Library.
Here? In the insane asylum? What better place than where the curious end up? We are the Library! It lives and breathes inside of each and every one of us.
Stone, it lives inside of you because of your love of art and history and architecture.
(CLAMORING DIES DOWN) Cassandra, it lives inside of you because of your love of science and math and magic.
Ezekiel, you're a thief.
Wait, that's it? That's it.
You are a thief, and the Library needs you because you know the value of an artifact.
You know how to find it, and you don't let anyone get in your way, not even me.
Out of my way! You can't.
I won't let you.
Flynn, you are the heart and the soul of the Library.
You've walked every inch of it, every room.
You stand ready to guard against evil, ready to defend the place you love with your last breath.
(BAIRD PANTING) Kitty, kitty.
Kitty, kitty, kitty.
We don't have to go home.
We're already there.
I'm sorry! No.
No.
No! The Library.
It's back.
STONE: We're back! Books! The Lions! Ah! The jewels! When we manifested the Library, that reality disappeared.
This is this It's all back to normal! Mr.
Jenkins! Jenkins Not everything's back to normal.
Some things can't be fixed.
There's one more thing that I need to do.
BAIRD: What is it? This is the Book of Nicole's life.
Everything that she's ever done is in here, including when she went back in time 500 years.
You want to rewrite history? - You said it's too risky.
- I know.
But we are going to totally ignore all of that advice.
All we need to do to make that happen the Toaster of Albuquerque.
The Toaster? But Jenkins never figured out what it really does, other than burn down national forests.
Jenkins may not have, but I did.
It's a portal, except it doesn't lock on to time in place, it locks on to a person, but not for very long, so we need to find where Nicole is in history.
Before time makes her dark.
(BEEPING, STATIC) - That's it.
- Flynn? That's the exact moment - that Nicole went back in time.
- Flynn? - Flynn! - Nicole! Nicole! - Anybody? - No, no, no no, no, no.
Can't, lose it.
Look, according to this book, that's when she became immortal.
Nicole, no! I have to get to her before the connection fades out.
I'll hold down the dial.
Go.
Flynn? Flynn, is that really you? Oh.
I almost made a horrible mistake.
But I knew in my heart you would always come back for me.
That's not why I came.
What? I'm came to right a wrong.
I never came back for you the first time.
I couldn't, I was too consumed with guilt and grief.
And I can't take you back with me now.
Flynn, you'll have to hurry.
I'm sorry, this isn't gonna hold! Who is that? My Guardian.
- Your Guardian? - Yeah.
Flynn, what's going on? You look older.
I know what you were just about to do.
And I know why you were going to do it.
And we still need you to do it.
Except, this time, for the right reason.
You are gonna have an amazing life.
And a surprisingly long one, full of adventure and loss and triumph and it's all in this book.
And you have to do everything that's in this book to fulfill the prophecy, only this time do it for the Library, not against it.
I always thought I was your Guardian.
Now, I know I'm the Library's Guardian.
BAIRD: Flynn! (BEEPING, STATIC) Goodbye, Nicole.
Flynn? See you in 500 years.
(SNORING) Mm, five more minutes.
Ow! (GASPS) Wait.
We're back! We're back where it all started! Hey! Guys! We're back to the Tethering Ceremony Rehearsal Day! Isn't that great? Sure, man.
You don't remember.
It's just me.
Okay.
Uh, where in time are you? The ultimate battle between good and evil.
Happened ages ago.
Well, weeks, at most.
Which is ages in today's culture.
- Or don't you have a Twitter feed? - And the cornerstones? The four cornerstones of the Library of Alexandria, where are they? Here, in the Library, where they've always been.
Then Nicole did it.
She rewrote history.
Did Cal hit you in the head too hard last time your guys were sparring? Easy! He's just catching up.
Eve.
You're more beautiful than I remember, and I have an excellent memory.
I think my memory can match yours.
JENKINS: I apologize for my tardiness.
You'd think, at some point in history, some Librarian would have alphabetized our miscellaneous collection, but no, so - BAIRD AND FLYNN: Jenkins! - Oh! Uh (CHUCKLES) Immortal Jenkins.
Immortal Jenkins? Yes, last time I checked, sir.
What's wrong? Are you guys okay? Never better.
You have on idea how good it is to see you.
Well (CHUCKLES) Colonel, I appreciate your appreciation, yes? But, please, we really should rehearse.
(STAMMERS) You know what? Enough with the rehearsal.
Let's tether.
Sir, it isn't the equinox.
We always tether at the equinox.
That's how it was written, that's how it has always been.
Jenkins, just 'cause the thing has always been done a way, doesn't mean it has to be done that way now, especially when all parties agree.
Eve do you want to tether to the Library with me? I do.
Do you want to tether to the Library with me? I don't have a doubt in my mind.
Library, do you want Eve and I to tether to you? - (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) - (CASSANDRA YELPS) (LAUGHS) I'll take that as a yes.
How about you guys? - I'm in.
- Yeah, as long as it means we don't have to practice anymore, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Oh, this is so exciting! Fine, sir! Yeah, fine.
And if you get hand-fasted to some post office somewhere, please don't blame me.
But, if that's what you wish.
So Librarians, Guardian, artifacts, we are gathered here today to witness the eternal tethering of this Librarian and this Guardian in a ceremony handed down through the ages.
Flynn Carsen, Eve Baird
Nicole.
I thought you left.
I did.
I want you to come with me.
(INHALES SHARPLY) Look, you're already packed.
Nicole, when you told me that I should fight against being a prisoner of this place, I realized I'm not a prisoner of this place.
The Library pushes me forward, it doesn't hold me back.
Like Baird.
Baird? Baird.
To whom I owe a bowling date, and with whom I intend to tether to the Library.
I don't want to be uncertain anymore.
I love the Library and I love Baird.
And I'm ready.
I see.
I'm sorry.
Uh, you know, I wish No, I'm sorry.
(GRUNTS) I should have specified I wasn't asking.
(SOFT CHUCKLE) (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) - (MUSIC PLAYING) - (ALARM BLARING) You must remember the Library or it'll be gone forever.
Flynn's tethering ring.
I remember Flynn from the the Library.
(SIGHS) How do you hold something as big as the Library in your head? Flynn keeps everything in his head using um a memory palace.
(EXHALES) I did it! I'm here! (LAUGHS) Okay, I just have to focus on specific things and everything else will fill into place around it.
Okay.
(PANTING) Ah! The Spear of Destiny! (CHUCKLES) Yes! Okay.
And then um here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
The Lions! The Lions! Yeah.
Whoo! And right there is that's the, um the Ark the Ark of the Covenant! Yes! I remember it.
I remember it all.
Okay.
Okay, I did it.
So where are you, Flynn? Where am I gonna find you? "TV"? Okay.
Let's go find a TV.
Fat and Flour? That all they serve? What else is there? ANNOUNCER ON TV: It's the "I Fell Down!" show! - (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS ON TV) - Because everyone falls down.
The only entertainment you'll ever need.
(SLIDE WHISTLE PLAYS) - (LAUGHTER) - (CANNED LAUGHTER) And now, here's your host - (TV STATIC) - Eve? Flynn? Flynn, where are you? What's going on? To answer your first question, no, I can't hear you.
- That wasn't my - This is a recording.
I've transmitted it directly into the glass of my tethering ring, where it's stored kind of like a hard drive.
And if you're seeing this, that means that you've found the ring and that Nicole is close to completing her goal.
Eve, brace yourself.
Nicole is evil.
Ya think? Da, da, da, da, da! Before you go and defend her, she hit me on the head and kidnapped me.
Her plan is to get us to abandon the Library.
With it being untethered, it would create a world not only where the Library ceases to exist, but where it has never existed.
- (IMITATES EXPLOSION) - But how does the Library never existing make it so food doesn't have flavor or color doesn't exist? As you know, the Library is much more than a storehouse for artifacts, it is where we keep our knowledge.
And without the Library, that knowledge would cease to have any value, it would have no place.
All intellect, all curiosity would become worthless.
I cannot even imagine what it's like where you are right now in that world.
What is it like? Um, I mean, it's a little I keep forgetting, this a recording, I can't hear you.
- (SIGHS) - Anyway, to get our world back, you need to hold onto your memories of the Library.
Your new reality is gonna try and wipe out the old, so you're gonna need to build what's called a memory palace.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already did that, skip ahead, skip ahead.
But you're very smart, you probably already did that.
Aw, sweetie.
Thank you.
You need to find me before you forget.
And the others.
It will take all of us together to get the Library back.
How? Ugh.
I don't even know where to begin.
She's coming.
I have to go! (TV STATIC) ANNOUNCER: We'll be back after these messages.
- (AUDIENCE APPLAUSE) - Hey do you need a way to get from one place to another? Do you want to do that in a car? Come on down to The Company's Used Car.
Where every car is perfectly average.
Come on down and see me, Jacob Stone.
Well, that's one place to start.
BAIRD: Spear.
Lions, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Ark.
(SIGHS) - Stone! - Well, hello, little lady! - Can I help you? - I Of course I can.
No one can choose between these fine cars without a little of assistance.
Let me ask you a question: how do you feel about brown? I don't really feel anything.
Well, that's exactly right.
You're not meant to.
This is perfect for basic conveyance.
Do you remember me? - Should I? - Think, Stone.
We used to work together with a group of amazing people who do incredible things.
Do you have any memory of that? Listen, lady, I don't know what you're I'm talking about The Library.
The Li That was a dream.
You remember.
I've never told anyone about that.
You this I've dreamt about that since I was a little boy.
You - you are the thought police.
I can't - The what? No.
I can't be talking to you right now, okay? - Stone - I can get in trouble.
you are the world's leading authority on art, architecture, history.
You've travelled the world and dug up mummies, and solved ancient puzzle boxes that have stumped scholars for centuries.
This can't be real.
It is.
It's not a dream.
You are not a used car salesman, Jacob Stone.
You? You're a Librarian.
And if you come with me, I'll prove it to you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Uh, oh, a test drive? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we could do a test drive.
(ENGINE STARTS) Yes.
Yes, she's with him now.
They're going someplace.
I don't know.
She just appeared out of nowhere.
- Where are we going? - To find the others.
Although I have no idea where I might do that.
You can always look them up in The Company directory.
Company directory? Yeah, everyone, in one way or another, works for The Company.
Me included.
Does this company have a name? "The Company.
" Creative.
What does The Company do? You know, I never thought to ask.
(MUSIC PLAYING) Cillian! Your stapling has fallen off center by an entire millimeter.
But I staple the NRW report to the PDX report in the exact same spot every time.
Was your mind wandering again, Cillian? We don't want to have to report a problem.
No, sir.
My stapling will be perfectly centered from now on.
See that it is.
Your reports are backing up! (SIGHS) Cassandra.
How do you know my name? We're here to help you.
I promise, my stapling will be perfectly centered.
I don't need oversight.
That's not what I meant.
You look familiar.
Both of you.
Have we met before? I think maybe.
In a dream.
Okay.
It's been nice talking to you.
- I need to get back to work.
- What? No, no.
I just saw it in your eyes.
You've had the dream! BAIRD: Cassandra, it wasn't a dream.
It's a memory.
A memory of the Library.
I don't know any Library.
It's a place um um, it's a place (SIGHS) Right there was the What was it? It was (SIGHS) Okay.
Right there was kitty, kitty, kitty.
The Lions.
And right there was the the Ark! Okay, I still have it.
I still have the Library.
Look, I can't have someone who's dressed like the thought police questioning me about a library.
I have a backup.
Hey, I get it.
I do.
If you don't do your part, then everything stops, right? - That's right.
- Right.
You don't have time for anything else.
You don't have time for dreams.
Dreams about a place with endless books, amazing artifacts.
And stuff like this.
Give that back, they'll see it.
What is it? I don't know.
But it's beautiful.
BAIRD: It is.
Cassandra, you're a mathematical genius, with a brain that can connect Einstein's Theory of Relativity to the smell of pancake syrup.
Come with us.
I No, I want to stay here and keep doing my stapling.
I don't want anyone to think that I'm a problem.
Too late for that.
Is there something I can help you gentlemen with? I haven't seen anything (WHISPERS) I can't believe you did this to me.
Cassandra, quick question: is there another way out of here? We're looking for Cassandra Cillian.
Her desk is right here.
We won't reach the exit without being seen.
(PAPER RUSTLING) I got this.
(TUBE THUDDING) Go! What is that? SUPERVISOR: The tubes are jammed! She stapled off-center! Oh, no! (EXPLOSION) SUPERVISOR: No, no! This is not my fault.
This is not my fault! This way! This way.
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Hey! That should hold them.
(SIGHS) That was close.
Now we just need to find Ezekiel.
Ezekiel? Ezekiel Jones.
Do you know him? ANNOUNCER: Welcome back to the "I Fell Down!" show with your host, Ezekiel Jones! Thank you! Thank you! You're too (CHUCKLES) Oops! I fell down! (LAUGHS) Now, our last entry tonight comes from Tom and Gary.
And let's just hope this one doesn't fall flat.
(CANNED LAUGHTER) BAIRD: Delivery for Jones.
I'll take those.
I'm all for a good pratfall, but an entire show? This is the only show.
Are you sure Ezekiel Jones is a Librarian? I mean, he's like, the most famous person in the whole world! (LAUGHING) (LAUGHING SUBSIDES) I think he's better looking in person.
How are we gonna get to him with all these people? I have an idea.
Tom, how could you do that to Gary? (LAUGHS) Well, that's our show for tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
Make sure you come back next time for everybody's favorite segment, "Hey! You Startled Me!" - Good night! - (CANNED APPLAUSE) - DIRECTOR: And cut! - (LAUGHTER STOPS ABRUPTLY) - (BELL RINGS) - Great work, Ezekiel, as always.
As always? You know I was trying something new, right? Why on Earth would you want to do something new? Now, here's your script for tomorrow's show, and your itinerary for the week.
Oh, is it any different from last week's? Of course not.
(CASSANDRA AND STONE GIGGLING) I can't believe it's him! I think you're right, he is handsomer in person! I'm sorry, do I know you? Folks, you really shouldn't be Listen, we would like to submit our audition.
If you leave it with me, I'll No, we want to audition in person! - Yeah! - Yeah! We want to make sure that it's 100% before we put it down on camera.
- Right - You walk in and it's - Oh! - Oh! (CASSANDRA LAUGHS) Or maybe more classic, like ooh, ooh, ooh! That's fantastic.
Um, unfortunately, I actually have to go, but my producer Rachel here can answer any of your questions.
You guys are natural fallers.
If you put these falls on tape We want to make sure that it's perfect.
What about this? (GROANS) CASSANDRA: Also, I can go forward like Whoo! (GIGGLING) (TICKING) What's your best time? Oh! Who are you and how did you get in here? The Ezekiel Jones I know can pick a lock like that in two seconds.
Yeah, well, I am two seconds away from calling security.
You don't want to be a problem now, do you? You've been having dreams, right? What if I told you those dreams were real? D-dreams are illegal.
It's a big room, filled with filled with Books? Yes.
Books.
It's a real place.
It's called the It's called the (SIGHS) No, that's missing.
No, what's there that's missing, too? Oh, no, no, no.
Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty The Lions! The Lions are still there.
I still have it.
It's the Library! Ezekiel, there is a life that is better than this.
No, better than this? No, no, I am the host of the "I Fell Down!" show.
I want for nothing! That doesn't mean you don't want something else.
Ezekiel you've got to come help me, these people are Who's this? Call security! She's here to to kidnap me! Really, Jones? What's she doing? I don't know.
We got to get out of here.
Let's go.
(GASPS) Let me out! Let me out! I'm afraid not.
You're in my world now.
And I happily run it.
This little anti-alternate reality charm means I get to keep my memory while the rest of the world goes blind.
And in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
You're the head of The Company? I gave you a chance.
You could have lived peacefully like your friends.
But you had to be a problem.
Trying to remember.
Remember, remember.
I have to remember.
It's not (CRYING) I don't No, no, no, no, no.
It's all gone.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) It's all gone.
You're not going to like what happens next.
You should have just forgotten.
Who are you? (LAUGHS) Oh.
I see you already have.
- (POPS) - (GASPS, SOBS) WOMAN: And then I wondered, "Who figured out how to grind flour? And why?" And then I found my mind was chewing on the question for days and imagining the possible scenarios Stop right there.
I know the lure of imagination is strong, but every time you feel curiosity sneaking up on you, just remember, what you already know is enough.
ALL: Remember, what I already know is enough.
Remember EZEKIEL ON TV: Ooh, he took a serious nose dive there! And I hope he is rewarded with some sliders.
- (EZEKIEL LAUGHS) - (LAUGHS WEAKLY) I'm just curious, aren't you? What about telephonics? (YELLING) What about language? How did that evolve? Don't you want to know? What does fruit taste like? Don't you want to know? Poor woman.
Terminal case of curiosity, if I ever saw one.
And I should know.
(LAUGHS) He's funny.
I like him, in spite of myself.
Hello.
You're new.
New, like you haven't been here before.
Well, I haven't been here very long.
Not haven't been here, but haven't been here in the gray, in the paste.
There's too much color to you, too much bright.
Are you from the same words as me? "The same words"? Yeah, we define our world with words.
Chair, couch, TV; well, those are letters.
But everything else has a name, has a purpose, has a beauty.
Judson had a name, Jenkins has a name, Charlene has a name; those are names that carry on in my head.
What's yours? Eve.
- Eve Baird.
- Eve.
Like the moment of change in the day.
Eve, I think that you could really bring some changes here.
I'm Flynn.
Or patient 642, if you like.
Have we met before? Not in this place.
And I don't get out much.
You're nice.
And cute.
And completely crazy.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.
I like your yellow and your smile.
And you remind me of something that I don't want to forget.
Forget I have this feeling there's something I'm supposed to remember.
But I don't know what it is, it's all fuzzy.
I remember, I remember what you don't.
I remember my memory.
They keep trying to take little pieces of it, but I have the whole.
And that's what keeps it alive.
Keeps what alive? Hold that thought.
- Hey, what are you doing? - What? - You're not supposed to be here, - Ah! Eve, if you want to remember, find me.
You know what this means, right? You're gonna have to go for a reset! Gentlemen! Surely we can negotiate.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! - (WHOOSHING) - Ha-ha! Hello.
Goodbye.
And extend! And dance with me! Ha-ha! Over here.
Sound okay here? - In the tush! - (GROANS) (GIGGLING) (GROANS) Up! Patient #642! 642! Be gentle with me, I'm a delicate soul.
He got out again? Do you know how dangerous it is for him to be in the general population, especially now? He wouldn't be a problem if you would allow me to implement a more permanent treatment.
NICOLE: No.
He just needs another reset.
Then everything will be fine.
Right, Flynn? You just need a little help letting go of your old reality and accepting the new one.
And once you let go, it will be gone completely.
Yeah, you don't have to do this, Nicole.
This is silly.
I'll be good.
I'll be good.
I know you will.
(VELCRO RIPS) Now bite down.
(CREAKING) - (ELECTRICITY BUZZING) - (BABBLING) Well, folks, I better wrap things up before I slip up.
(LAUGHS) Good night, ladies and gentlemen.
- DIRECTOR: And cut.
- (BELL RINGS) What are they doing here? We don't need them.
They already took the lady away.
They just want to make sure nothing else will happen.
What did she want with you anyway? Nothing.
It was just nonsense.
What did she say? If she said anything suspicious to you, you should tell them.
Because as long as they are here, they're disrupting the show.
And The Company needs the show to run smoothly.
Even if that means getting a new host.
- Hi there! - (YELLS) What are you doing here? - Kidnapping you.
- (CAR DOOR OPENS) Company Men are just behind that door.
All I have to do is scream.
Yeah, but you're not going to.
'Cause they might start wondering why you're attracting so much attention.
If they haven't already.
I can't go with you, okay? I have a great life and I don't want to ruin it! Don't you guys have your own lives? Ever since I went with Baird, I'm starting to think this life is less and less real.
Come on, man, you really want The Company watching you so closely? Your life can't possibly be as good as you pretend it is.
(LAUGHS) And how could you be so sure, Cassandra? Because I know you.
I can feel it.
Because you know me, too.
And because I didn't tell you my name.
All right, what do you want me to do? Help us rescue Baird.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGING) Sub-basement six.
Hello? Flynn? BAIRD: What is this? A sword.
And a myth.
A sword myth.
Hey, it's you, the new one.
I saw them drag you down here.
Yes, they do that.
200 milliamperes right into my noggin! But, fortunately, I knew that they wanted my dreams, so I fortified myself, and built up a resistance.
My dreams aren't gone, just rearranged.
Do you like my friend? - Your friend the sword? - My friend the sword! He taught me how to parry and thrust! These are all my friends and family.
I feel like - I've been here.
- You have.
And you haven't.
It's very confusing when you jump the parallel.
How could you draw me if we've never met? The answer to that is in the question, Eve Baird.
We know each other.
We've been in this place with the books, together.
That's where I go in my dreams.
It's really nice in the Library.
The Library.
BOTH: Yes! She tries to take it from me, but I fight it, so I put everything down here in case she ever was able to cleave it out.
Somebody else can find it and they can build it.
Do you want to see my favorite one? - Yeah.
- This one here.
They look like they're bursting.
I've never felt that way.
Until I saw you.
You're nice.
And cute.
And completely crazy.
(GASPS) Flynn! - It's you.
- Eve, you found me.
I knew that you would.
I missed you.
You left.
I didn't mean to.
And I'm never leaving you or the Library again.
(DOOR OPENS) I have been very patient with you, Flynn.
I've been kind enough to let you live, Baird.
And this is how you repay me? By trusting our own memories? Getting our minds back? Your mind is not back.
It simply wasn't zapped hard enough.
No amount of zapping is gonna make us forget, Nicole.
When I first met you, you introduced me to the Library and it opened up continents for me, as it does for anybody, everybody, whether they know it or not.
I'm sorry that you feel like it betrayed you, but the world needs a Library, Nicole.
No, the world doesn't need the Library.
Which is good, because the world will never have it.
Doctor.
Does #642 need to be reset again? No.
Remember, that permanent procedure you mentioned? - Do it.
- (GASPS) To both of them.
Uh, uh All right, there's like a half a dozen guards here.
So how do we get in? I don't know! It's not like I've done this before.
Actually, I have a feeling that we have done this before.
The three of us, together.
So how do we do it? I remem I remember you know things about architecture.
Oh, that's right, you do! - Right? - Yeah.
But how exactly is that gonna help us get in? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Judging by the foundation of this building, it was built in the middle of the last century.
Which means the utility rooms were built on the side of the building, instead of the middle.
We go around that corner, through the door, I guarantee you it's a utility room.
We go through the utility room, less chance for guards being on the other side.
That's great.
How do we deal with the guards on this side? - You! - Me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You do this thing with numbers and your hands, - and you figure stuff out.
- Oh, with the that's you! - With my hands? - Yeah.
Holy moly.
STONE: What? What do you see? Everything.
Connections, numerals, angles, physics.
Timing.
The average male walking stride length is 30 inches, AVERAGE PACE: 3.
1 miles per hour.
The pivot ratio is 270 degrees, and this building has a footprint of 1,596 square feet.
(FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING IN DISTANCE) Which means we have 43 seconds until they come back around.
Come on! Some sort of alarm system.
Looks like I'm up.
STONE: Do you have any idea what you're doing? Not a single clue.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES, LATCH OPENS) Oh.
(SCOFFS) I'm good.
You're definitely something.
Go.
Stone, what are you doing? Just it doesn't feel (GRUNTS) What? - (GUN COCKS) - Hold it right there! Identify yourselves.
ALL: We're the Librarians.
Of course.
Carry on.
Okay, why did that work? CASSANDRA AND STONE: I have no idea.
Hey, guys, what's this permanent treatment? A girl could really use some advanced warning.
Don't worry.
They don't drill holes in your skull anymore.
They do it through the eye socket instead.
- Doc? - That's right.
The, um, eye socket is easier.
Uh, I can take over from here.
- You guys can go.
- Go? - What are you - (ORDERLIES GRUNT) Cassandra! Stone! Ezekiel! Come on, let's get out of here.
Okay.
Wait, there's someone I want you to meet first.
Oh, Flynn.
I'm so sorry this had to happen to you.
I really am.
(GRUNTING) Let's go.
Don't just stand there.
Go after them! (ALARM BLARING) (PATIENTS CLAMORING) No! Retreat! Ah! Back, back, back, back, back Go! Ah! Go through here! (CLAMORING) STONE: Go! - There! - (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) This is not gonna hold forever! All right, let's get out of here then.
Gah! We're trapped.
Yeah.
There's no way out! All right, there's not a moment to lose.
We have to manifest the Library.
Here? In the insane asylum? What better place than where the curious end up? We are the Library! It lives and breathes inside of each and every one of us.
Stone, it lives inside of you because of your love of art and history and architecture.
(CLAMORING DIES DOWN) Cassandra, it lives inside of you because of your love of science and math and magic.
Ezekiel, you're a thief.
Wait, that's it? That's it.
You are a thief, and the Library needs you because you know the value of an artifact.
You know how to find it, and you don't let anyone get in your way, not even me.
Out of my way! You can't.
I won't let you.
Flynn, you are the heart and the soul of the Library.
You've walked every inch of it, every room.
You stand ready to guard against evil, ready to defend the place you love with your last breath.
(BAIRD PANTING) Kitty, kitty.
Kitty, kitty, kitty.
We don't have to go home.
We're already there.
I'm sorry! No.
No.
No! The Library.
It's back.
STONE: We're back! Books! The Lions! Ah! The jewels! When we manifested the Library, that reality disappeared.
This is this It's all back to normal! Mr.
Jenkins! Jenkins Not everything's back to normal.
Some things can't be fixed.
There's one more thing that I need to do.
BAIRD: What is it? This is the Book of Nicole's life.
Everything that she's ever done is in here, including when she went back in time 500 years.
You want to rewrite history? - You said it's too risky.
- I know.
But we are going to totally ignore all of that advice.
All we need to do to make that happen the Toaster of Albuquerque.
The Toaster? But Jenkins never figured out what it really does, other than burn down national forests.
Jenkins may not have, but I did.
It's a portal, except it doesn't lock on to time in place, it locks on to a person, but not for very long, so we need to find where Nicole is in history.
Before time makes her dark.
(BEEPING, STATIC) - That's it.
- Flynn? That's the exact moment - that Nicole went back in time.
- Flynn? - Flynn! - Nicole! Nicole! - Anybody? - No, no, no no, no, no.
Can't, lose it.
Look, according to this book, that's when she became immortal.
Nicole, no! I have to get to her before the connection fades out.
I'll hold down the dial.
Go.
Flynn? Flynn, is that really you? Oh.
I almost made a horrible mistake.
But I knew in my heart you would always come back for me.
That's not why I came.
What? I'm came to right a wrong.
I never came back for you the first time.
I couldn't, I was too consumed with guilt and grief.
And I can't take you back with me now.
Flynn, you'll have to hurry.
I'm sorry, this isn't gonna hold! Who is that? My Guardian.
- Your Guardian? - Yeah.
Flynn, what's going on? You look older.
I know what you were just about to do.
And I know why you were going to do it.
And we still need you to do it.
Except, this time, for the right reason.
You are gonna have an amazing life.
And a surprisingly long one, full of adventure and loss and triumph and it's all in this book.
And you have to do everything that's in this book to fulfill the prophecy, only this time do it for the Library, not against it.
I always thought I was your Guardian.
Now, I know I'm the Library's Guardian.
BAIRD: Flynn! (BEEPING, STATIC) Goodbye, Nicole.
Flynn? See you in 500 years.
(SNORING) Mm, five more minutes.
Ow! (GASPS) Wait.
We're back! We're back where it all started! Hey! Guys! We're back to the Tethering Ceremony Rehearsal Day! Isn't that great? Sure, man.
You don't remember.
It's just me.
Okay.
Uh, where in time are you? The ultimate battle between good and evil.
Happened ages ago.
Well, weeks, at most.
Which is ages in today's culture.
- Or don't you have a Twitter feed? - And the cornerstones? The four cornerstones of the Library of Alexandria, where are they? Here, in the Library, where they've always been.
Then Nicole did it.
She rewrote history.
Did Cal hit you in the head too hard last time your guys were sparring? Easy! He's just catching up.
Eve.
You're more beautiful than I remember, and I have an excellent memory.
I think my memory can match yours.
JENKINS: I apologize for my tardiness.
You'd think, at some point in history, some Librarian would have alphabetized our miscellaneous collection, but no, so - BAIRD AND FLYNN: Jenkins! - Oh! Uh (CHUCKLES) Immortal Jenkins.
Immortal Jenkins? Yes, last time I checked, sir.
What's wrong? Are you guys okay? Never better.
You have on idea how good it is to see you.
Well (CHUCKLES) Colonel, I appreciate your appreciation, yes? But, please, we really should rehearse.
(STAMMERS) You know what? Enough with the rehearsal.
Let's tether.
Sir, it isn't the equinox.
We always tether at the equinox.
That's how it was written, that's how it has always been.
Jenkins, just 'cause the thing has always been done a way, doesn't mean it has to be done that way now, especially when all parties agree.
Eve do you want to tether to the Library with me? I do.
Do you want to tether to the Library with me? I don't have a doubt in my mind.
Library, do you want Eve and I to tether to you? - (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) - (CASSANDRA YELPS) (LAUGHS) I'll take that as a yes.
How about you guys? - I'm in.
- Yeah, as long as it means we don't have to practice anymore, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Oh, this is so exciting! Fine, sir! Yeah, fine.
And if you get hand-fasted to some post office somewhere, please don't blame me.
But, if that's what you wish.
So Librarians, Guardian, artifacts, we are gathered here today to witness the eternal tethering of this Librarian and this Guardian in a ceremony handed down through the ages.
