And a touch of sulfur.
187
00:07:58,174 --> 00:08:00,241
Bryce, I did it.
188
00:08:00,243 --> 00:08:02,943
All 28 tasks completed.
189
00:08:02,945 --> 00:08:04,178
Tonight, I'm treating myself

- like everybody else?
- Look. I found my thing, all right?
193
00:08:12,383 --> 00:08:13,821
And it's being myself. Turns out,
194

all this branch needed to run smoothly
195

I'm, like, kintsugi personified.

That's those strips
of beef on rice, right?
198
00:08:21,898 --> 00:08:25,740
It's the Japanese art of mending
cracks in broken pottery using gold.
199
00:08:25,741 --> 00:08:30,171
I'm the gold, and this
branch, well, it's the pottery.
200
00:08:30,173 --> 00:08:33,140
Sounds like crackpot art to me.
201
00:08:33,142 --> 00:08:36,411
- Ah. You see what I did there?
- Yes. Sadly.

Some jerk turned on the
valve to the water fountain.
213
00:09:10,246 --> 00:09:13,046
I turned on the valve, but
I didn't know about the leak.

when you're not looking.

- Not you, Howard.

near the comic books,
221
00:09:29,063 --> 00:09:31,597
which means that the
tutees will be distracted,
222
00:09:31,599 --> 00:09:33,098
which means noise, which means...
223
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:35,368
I wasn't thinking.
I'm sick to my stomach.
224

Uh, next time, I'll make
sure to run this by you.

Well, I run my dad's grocery store.

My friends suggested that
I put myself out there more,
241
00:10:13,941 --> 00:10:16,508
so here I am.

(CHILD SCREAMING)

00:14:19,747 --> 00:14:21,580
(GROANING) What fresh hell is this?
346
00:14:21,582 --> 00:14:23,381
I think those kids you
told to stop running around
347
00:14:23,383 --> 00:14:24,982
needed to run around,
and I think their mom
348
00:14:24,984 --> 00:14:26,518
would appreciate them
running around, too.

(HOWARD SIGHING)
350
00:14:30,390 --> 00:14:31,656
My mom's getting impatient,
351
00:14:31,658 --> 00:14:33,391
and I still haven't found my book!
352
00:14:33,393 --> 00:14:35,693
(PANTING) Howard, there's
this rowdy stranger locking me
353
00:14:35,695 --> 00:14:37,362
out of my office. He's
huge and intimidating!
354
00:14:37,364 --> 00:14:38,796
So, can you get rid of him, please?
355
00:14:38,798 --> 00:14:40,565
(CRASHING)
356
00:14:41,634 --> 00:14:42,767
Did you flatten out the carpet?
357
00:14:42,769 --> 00:14:45,360
- Yes, I did.
- Bob uses that to orient himself.
358
00:14:45,361 --> 00:14:47,161
- Well, of course.
- Ja-me-suck!
359
00:14:47,162 --> 00:14:48,920
- Hey, hey, are you okay?
- Ja-me-suck!
360
00:14:48,921 --> 00:14:50,175
- Ja-me-suck!
- Uh...

Ja-me-suck! Ja-me-suck!
362
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,947
What the labradoodle
is going on out here?
363
00:14:56,949 --> 00:15:00,016
I can't believe my eyes.
364
00:15:00,018 --> 00:15:02,219
I'm sorry. Who are you?
365
00:15:02,221 --> 00:15:05,589
I am someone who cares about this city.
366
00:15:05,591 --> 00:15:07,091
- MAN: Yeah!
- PATTON: You know, I came
367
00:15:07,093 --> 00:15:11,761
- to this lib-rary...
- (MEN LAUGHING)

... willing to give it
the benefit of the doubt,
369
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:15,499
but it's not only poorly-run.
370
00:15:15,501 --> 00:15:18,969
It is a den of subversive
leftist activity
371
00:15:18,971 --> 00:15:21,271
and sexual depravity!
372
00:15:21,273 --> 00:15:25,942
Patton! Patton! Patton! Patton!
373
00:15:25,944 --> 00:15:28,845
If you need the library to
read, to print off résumés,
374
00:15:28,847 --> 00:15:31,380
or to use the washroom, you can stay.
375
00:15:31,382 --> 00:15:35,752
But if you are here to vent
your misplaced frustrations,
376
00:15:35,754 --> 00:15:37,087
you can get the heck out!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

00:15:50,469 --> 00:15:52,034
HOWARD: I thought I could
help that place succeed,
383
00:15:52,036 --> 00:15:54,170
but I don't know. Maybe
Jameson is beyond saving.
384
00:15:54,172 --> 00:15:55,320
Yeah. I'm telling you, dude.
385
00:15:55,321 --> 00:15:58,408
That place is one stabbing
away from being Winnipeg.
386
00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:01,378
Come work with me at the
museum, where it's safer.
387
00:16:01,380 --> 00:16:03,079
Yeah. Actually, are you running
388
00:16:03,081 --> 00:16:05,180
that exhibit on the Punic Wars still?
389
00:16:05,182 --> 00:16:07,082
Carthago stupenda est?
390
00:16:07,084 --> 00:16:10,519
(LAUGHING) You're a riot.
391
00:16:10,521 --> 00:16:12,988
Um, you know what? Um,
I'll think about it,
392
00:16:12,990 --> 00:16:14,757
- and I'll get back to you.
- All right. See you.
393
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:16,658
- Hi, Howard.
- Hello.
394
00:16:18,228 --> 00:16:20,429
Did you ever watch The Muppet Show?
395
00:16:20,431 --> 00:16:22,398
- Yes?
- Every episode,
396
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,132
they line up a bunch of acts,
397
00:16:24,134 --> 00:16:26,067
all of which go horribly wrong.
398
00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:28,504
Fozzie tells terrible jokes.
399
00:16:28,506 --> 00:16:29,971
Gonzo fails at a stunt,
400
00:16:29,973 --> 00:16:32,741
and Kermit runs around
like his head is cut off.
401
00:16:32,743 --> 00:16:35,977
But at the end of the day,
that's just what the show is.
402
00:16:35,979 --> 00:16:38,246
But it'd be so much
better if they rehearsed.
403
00:16:38,248 --> 00:16:42,116
The Muppet Show succeeds
because it is a beautiful mess.
404
00:16:42,118 --> 00:16:45,286
Jameson is our Muppet Show.
405
00:16:45,288 --> 00:16:49,023
And I guess by changing things,
I've disrupted the ecosystem.
406
00:16:49,025 --> 00:16:52,693
(CHUCKLING) We've had to
turn our lacks and our losses
407
00:16:52,695 --> 00:16:56,864
into wins, and it's created
a really special dynamic
408
00:16:56,866 --> 00:16:58,399
that is unique to this branch.
409
00:16:58,401 --> 00:17:02,202
I'm used to a certain...
standard of quality at Midtown.
410
00:17:02,204 --> 00:17:03,471
Well, that's the problem, Howard.
411
00:17:03,473 --> 00:17:05,673
You were thinking of Midtown.
412
00:17:05,675 --> 00:17:07,475
And you were thinking of Isla.
413
00:17:08,945 --> 00:17:10,277
Yeah, maybe a little.
414
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:11,646
It's tough to be at a new place
415
00:17:11,648 --> 00:17:13,848
when you're still missing your old one.
416
00:17:13,850 --> 00:17:16,683
But you can't change
Jameson to serve you.
417
00:17:16,685 --> 00:17:19,453
You have to serve Jameson.
418
00:17:19,455 --> 00:17:22,055
So maybe next time, don't
try to fix 27 things.
419
00:17:22,057 --> 00:17:23,389
Uh, 28 things.

422
00:17:26,929 --> 00:17:30,697
or... or greet everyone
with a smile, you know?
423
00:17:30,699 --> 00:17:32,265
Help the show succeed.
424
00:17:32,267 --> 00:17:33,900
You know what? Yes. I'm going to try
425
00:17:33,902 --> 00:17:37,003
to embrace its idiosyncrasies.
426
00:17:37,005 --> 00:17:38,271
Like that Muppet that throws the fish.
427
00:17:38,273 --> 00:17:39,706
(LAUGHING)
428
00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:42,375
Sorry you had the wrong
idea about Peopliothèque.
429
00:17:42,377 --> 00:17:45,111
You have to go. The chocolates can stay.
430
00:17:45,113 --> 00:17:49,415
Jaq, why are you denying
candidates access to my program?
431
00:17:49,417 --> 00:17:53,752
I think they're more interested
in having access to you.
432
00:17:53,754 --> 00:17:57,510
- What are you saying?
- Wendy, they're not here for the Peopliothèque.
433
00:17:57,511 --> 00:17:59,692
They're here because they
think you're looking for a date.
434
00:17:59,694 --> 00:18:01,894
(LAUGHING) Why would they think that?
435
00:18:01,896 --> 00:18:03,396
Read the poster.
436
00:18:05,833 --> 00:18:08,034
"Come to Jameson for a good time."
437
00:18:08,036 --> 00:18:09,402
Sounds fine.
438
00:18:09,404 --> 00:18:12,271
"Wendy wants to check you out."
439
00:18:12,273 --> 00:18:13,406
Huh.
440
00:18:13,408 --> 00:18:15,841
"Let's stimulate each other."
441
00:18:17,312 --> 00:18:19,178
(QUIETLY) Oh, no.
442
00:18:19,180 --> 00:18:21,179
I wrote a horny personal ad.
443
00:18:21,181 --> 00:18:22,481
Yeah. I tried to tell you yesterday,
444
00:18:22,483 --> 00:18:25,417
but then it became funny.
445
00:18:25,419 --> 00:18:26,451
Ah.
446
00:18:27,787 --> 00:18:29,187
Hey.
447
00:18:29,189 --> 00:18:32,590
Are you here for a human library,
448
00:18:32,592 --> 00:18:34,759
or are you here to date me?
449
00:18:34,761 --> 00:18:36,428
To date you.
450
00:18:36,430 --> 00:18:39,564
Uh, Brian, I think you're great, but...
451
00:18:39,566 --> 00:18:40,932
Oh, oh, oh, no.
452
00:18:40,934 --> 00:18:42,834
I'm here for the Peopliothèque.
453
00:18:42,836 --> 00:18:46,138
I was part of the original
Human Library back in Denmark.
454
00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:49,741
Oh. You're so cool. (LAUGHING)
455
00:18:49,743 --> 00:18:53,377
Well, um, I'm so sorry to
disappoint the rest of you,
456
00:18:53,379 --> 00:18:56,480
but, uh, I'm not looking for love.
457
00:18:56,482 --> 00:18:57,548
Oh.
458
00:18:58,651 --> 00:19:00,284
That's okay.
459
00:19:00,286 --> 00:19:01,785
Why don't we all go out for a drink
460
00:19:01,787 --> 00:19:04,288
and kind of see where this thing goes?
461
00:19:04,290 --> 00:19:06,857
I'll message you about the
details for the program.
462
00:19:06,859 --> 00:19:09,693
- Okay.
- Okay.
463
00:19:09,695 --> 00:19:12,629
JIM: All right. Terrific.
464
00:19:12,631 --> 00:19:15,199
Oh, well, sorry this backfired.
465
00:19:15,201 --> 00:19:16,467
I can help reword the poster.
466
00:19:16,469 --> 00:19:17,968
Maybe you get some actual volunteers.
467
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:21,138
All I want is for people
to hook up with strangers.
468
00:19:21,140 --> 00:19:22,406
I'll write the poster.
469
00:19:23,641 --> 00:19:25,475
I hear it now. Ugh.
470
00:19:32,250 --> 00:19:34,050
(EXHALING)
471
00:19:34,052 --> 00:19:37,987
Uh, sir, I'm going to have to
ask you to exit the library.
472
00:19:37,989 --> 00:19:39,689
Debate me.
473
00:19:39,691 --> 00:19:41,391
The library is closed.
474
00:19:41,393 --> 00:19:42,492
I think I win.
475
00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:46,296
I'm sorry. We're closed.
476
00:19:46,298 --> 00:19:47,930
Oh. Um, don't worry.
477
00:19:47,932 --> 00:19:50,266
I'm going to fix that.
478
00:19:50,268 --> 00:19:52,102
- You moved this here?
- Yes, but don't worry.
479
00:19:52,104 --> 00:19:53,669
I'm going to move it back.
480
00:19:53,671 --> 00:19:57,672
- No, no, don't. It's perfect.
- It is?
481
00:19:57,674 --> 00:20:00,476
It's visible from the lobby,
so people know to come here,
482
00:20:00,478 --> 00:20:04,079
and the signage is very clear,
if not a little ambitious.
483
00:20:04,081 --> 00:20:05,747
Jaq even said that there were new people
484
00:20:05,749 --> 00:20:07,382
looking for resources.
485
00:20:07,384 --> 00:20:09,751
Howard, this is so thoughtful.
486
00:20:09,753 --> 00:20:10,819
Thank you.
487
00:20:12,223 --> 00:20:13,589
I did good.
488
00:20:13,591 --> 00:20:15,390
You did good.
489
00:20:15,392 --> 00:20:18,026
Well, you know, it's a
pleasure to serve the library.
490
00:20:18,028 --> 00:20:19,861
Well, we're lucky to have you.
491
00:20:19,863 --> 00:20:21,763
I got to run, but I'll see you tomorrow.
492
00:20:21,765 --> 00:20:22,998
Yeah. See you.
493
00:20:28,405 --> 00:20:31,172
Ooh! Ah, yes.
494
00:20:32,142 --> 00:20:34,442
The beautiful mess.
495
00:20:34,444 --> 00:20:35,510
Whew!
496
00:20:37,538 --> 00:20:38,804
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
497
00:20:38,806 --> 00:20:40,739
Oh, someone's in a good mood.
498
00:20:40,741 --> 00:20:43,776
What, did they post a new
episode of that Lamestream Bias?
499
00:20:43,778 --> 00:20:48,213
Yup, and Patton Jefferson's
thinking of running for mayor.
500
00:20:48,215 --> 00:20:50,449
Oh. You know, that
checks out for society.
501
00:20:50,451 --> 00:20:55,387
On a positive note, you know,
I think I found my thing.
502
00:20:55,389 --> 00:20:57,822
Yeah? Is it a thing for Sheila?
503
00:20:59,025 --> 00:21:00,492
No. Absolutely not. No.
504
00:21:00,494 --> 00:21:01,960
Well, maybe. (CHUCKLING)
505
00:21:01,962 --> 00:21:04,161
You know, as a friend,
if that's what you meant.
506
00:21:04,163 --> 00:21:05,497
That is what you meant, right?
507
00:21:05,499 --> 00:21:06,600
'Cause that's how I took it
that you meant it. Is that...
508
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,900
I think you'd make a nice couple.
509
00:21:08,902 --> 00:21:10,267
Hmm.
510
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,936
BRYCE: It's too bad she's married.
511
00:21:12,873 --> 00:21:13,938
She is?
