JAWS 16 - GHOSTLY JAWS

[PHONE]

Uh, so I know all this crazy shit is happening and all, the town going to hell... but Susan told me I gotta read 5,000 books by the end of the Summer, somehow, and I know if I don't she's gonna do something awful to me. It's pretty weird to go into town, so does anybody have any books they can throw my way or something? I really wish the internet existed here...

[Action, Library]

[With no other choice, Mart has had to go to the library. And while reaching for some books, his hand is now stuck to a book case. Struggling, he's sending books and wood flying...]

Dude, she has to be fucking with you. There aren't five thousand books in, like, the entire world.

Probably, but I can't take that risk!

She'll probably do something horrible to me if I don't even try...

Do, like, really fucking short books count? Maybe you can read picture books.

[friends help friends find loopholes]

Naw, she already told me it had to be actual-actual books and novels.

She recommended by reading books about war since there's action in it, but I don't think I can read 5,000 war books.

What do you think she'll do if I just tell ehr I can't possibly do it?

Wow. They really changed the requirements from when I was in school. I don't even think I had a summer workload.

Have you met Susan?

She is crazy strict.

Yes.

I would die if I had to be cooped up inside all day reading thousands of books.

Hope you didn't get any of those handouts -- the ones with the discussion questions and all that. That would be worse.

I don't think I did.

And as bad as that is, I don't even wanna think what Susan'll do to me...

Five thousand? That can't be right! Especially when Mayfield doesn't really have much choice in books...

She said five thousand, so I guessI gotta read five thousand books... somehow.

There probably isn't even that many different books in town! She had to be exaggerating...

Have you met Susan?

I ain't risking it.

With Susan, I ain't taking that risk.

Well yeah, I guess...

She say anything to you?

[She comes here often enough, just to look around and maybe get a book or two.

So this is an interesting scene. Hi there Mart, that's a nice bookcase you have around your arm]

I suppose you could wait for it to flicker out again. I haven't gotten caught in anything yet myself.

[Mart looks over to see his struggle being watched.]

Oh, uh, hey.

Yeah. I guess I could.

[And he'll continue to try and wrench his arm out.

Or I suppose you could keep doing that. Do you think it will suddenly pop you free?

Only one way to find out.

[And when the case flickers again, he falls back with enoguh force to impact the wall behind him.]

Wow! That's gotta be the worst punishment ever.

[ SHE IS ASSUMING YOU ARE A DELINQUENT MART. ]

It's not a punishment, she's just crazy or something!

Five thousand? ...are you exaggerating, possibly?

Nope.

Nope I am not.

Well, good luck with that, mate. Don't imagine even I could manage that, and I like to think of myself as a literary connoisseur.
