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.

Patron: That guy over there sneezes a bunch of snot on me! Jody: Oh yuck, sorry. Do you want a tissue? Patron: I want him arrested or something, he's disgusting. Patron2: I don't understand the problem. I apologized wholeheartedly. Patron: You need to pay for your crime! Jody: How about if I help you find another place to sit? Jody: I know an isolated computer that's going to make everyone happy. Patron: Can't you, like, put him in a stockade or something?

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.

Patron (reading a book): Aw, that's adorable. Jane: It is, isn't it. Jane: You're not going to check it out? Patron: Nah, I don't do adorable these days. Jane: Can I help you find what you're looking for? Patron: No, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for these days. Patron: Aren't you going to offer to help me figure that out? Jane: No, I'd rather send you off to wander the stacks than submit you to an interrogation.

Martin: Give it a chance, you might enjoy it. Kid: Have you read it? Martin: No, I have not. Kid: Because there are better books to read, right? Martin: Because I have different tastes and priorities in terms of the books I choose to read. Kid: So you're saying it sucks. Parent (arriving quickly): Get me your manager! Now!

Patron: I don't understand what's happening in this manga. Martin: Is it possible that you're reading it backwards? Patron: You think I'm an idiot? Martin: Sorry, no, it's just that that was once a common problem. Martin: Can I find you a synopsis of that volume? Patron: No, I think a book has to stand on its own. Martin: Would you like me to help you find a book that's easier to understand? Patron: Are you saying you think I'm dumb? Or implying that I'm lazy?

Kid: You're laughing at your own joke. Dad: Because it's funny. Ha ha! Dad: I have to laugh. I'm a dad. It's genetic. Kid: Is that true? Jody: I'm not a scientist, but I don't think it's true. My father was more of a screamer. Adult: Ha ha! Kid: That must have been nice.

Patron: Do you know who I am? Martin: I do! You're a library patron who just asked me a question. Patron: Do you know how important I am? Martin: To me you're the most important person in the world. Patron: I feel like you say that to everyone. Martin: That's not true. In fact, this is the first time I've said that to anyone. Patron: So you have seen me in the news? Martin: No, it's just that no one else has ever asked.

Patron: I don't like the way you enforce your rules. Lucy: Huh. I always had the sense you disagreed with our policies. Patron: Right. That's what I mean. I hate those! How can I change them? Lucy: Well you'd have to start by changing what the library is and what it stands for. Patron: So I should start with the dictionaries? Like, should I band them? Or just cross out and rewrite the parts I don't like?
