make do with it

Let’s make do with it, the setting is relatively fake, but the scene is okay. I have traveled from the Mayan civilization in South America to the Himalayas to Outer Mongolia, but it looks like they were all shot in a studio. The heroine is ugly and old. The arrangement of the story is fairly compact, interspersed with a little humor, so that people can continue to watch. The biggest problem is that the plot is incoherent. It seems to be on a time and space shuttle. It is dizzying for a while, and it is difficult for the director to say so many things in such a short hour and a half.

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear quotes
-
Charlene: What makes you think you could be the Librarian?
Flynn Carsen: Well, I've read a lot of books.
[laughs]
Charlene: Don't try to be funny. I don't do funny.
Flynn Carsen: I'm sorry.
Charlene: [after a pause] What makes you think you could be the Librarian?
Flynn Carsen: I know the Dewey Decimal System, Library of Congress, research paper orthodoxy, web searching. I can set up an RSS feed...
Charlene: Everybody knows that. They're librarians. What makes you think you are the Librarian?
Flynn Carsen: [confused] I know other stuff?
Charlene: Mr... Flynn Carsen, stop wasting my time. Tell me something you know that nobody else who has walked in here could tell me.
Flynn Carsen: [examining her] You have mononucleosis. Your marriage broke up two months ago. You broke your nose when you were four, and you live with three cats. Is that what you had in mind? Swollen parajugular lymph nodes and distended eyelids are clearly mono. It takes three months for an indentation on the ring finger to completely disappear. Yours is two-thirds gone. Your plastic surgeon gave you a terminus paralateral scar, which is given to children under the age of six, and I can clearly see three distinct types of cat hair. A white Himalayan, a tortoiseshell, and an orange striped tabby.
Charlene: [slightly embarassed] I didn't break my nose until I was five.

Flynn Carsen: Well then, we better call the police.
Charlene: Oh yeah, call the police. Tell them about the Spear of Destiny, the golden goose, the lost Ark. Enjoy your stay in the psych ward. I understand Thorazine comes in vanilla now.
