When The Movie Ends

She stands behind the counter, dressed as you would expect she would be dressed. Holding a stack of books in one arms she adjusts her glasses. A gentleman walks up to the counter and hands her a book he would like to check out. She informs him he isn't allowed, as he has past due books.

"Sir, you have other overdue books, I can't let you check out this one."

"There must be some way I can pay the fine..." he offers suggestively.

She responds with a snap, "We accept most credit cards."

"Whaddya say we go to the back..." Music begins to play in the background, she is confused. She realizes now just the situation she's in. She tries to shoo him away.

"Really sir, just the cash."

"Well..."

"SECURITY!"

A security guard rambles over.

"Well, well, well....what seems to be the problem?"

The music swells again. She sighs an exasperated breath and gathers her things and leaves the library, not bothering to punch her time card.
