01x04 - Having Fun Isn’t Hard…/Arthur Meets Mychal the Librarian

[bunniefuu]

[groans]

Where's my library card?

Oh, I found the perfect book at the library for my report

on ancient Egypt.

But now I won't be able to take it out.

[sighs]

Maybe Ms. Turner will let me take out a book without my card.

Just this once?

Elwood City Public Library, Mychal speaking.

How may I help you?

Huh?

Um, you're not Ms. Turner.

Oh, Ms. Turner is visiting her sister in Crown City.

I'm so sorry. I'm filling in for her,

but I might be able to help you.

Wait. Are you--? Are you Arthur Read?

Yeah! How'd you know?

Ms. Turner gave me a list of her very favorite library users.

I would recognize those glasses anywhere.

It is an honor, a privilege to meet you.

Wow! Um, nice to meet you!

So, why are you calling?

Is it the new Bionic Bunny manga?

MYCHAL: Maybe the latest "“Scare-Your-Pants-Off"” book?

It's so spooky!

No. Although those both sound really good.

Oh, okay. So, what's going on?

How can I help you?

I lost my library card,

and there's this book on ancient Egypt I saw earlier.

But I forgot to take it out.

And I have to write this report due tomorrow, and--

Woah! That's a lot.

You know what? It's okay to not be okay.

Can we get to "“okay"” together?

Would you do that with me?

Will you take a big breath for me?

Breathe in

[breaths]

and out

[breaths]

One more time.

Breathe in

[breaths]

and out.

[breaths]

Great job.

Does that feel at least a little bit better?

Yeah, it does.

Thanks, Mychal.

You can always get a new library card.

In the meantime, we're still going

to let you borrow some books today.

You wanted a book on ancient Egypt, was that right?

Let's see what we've got here.

How's this?

"“How We Lived in Ancient Times"” by Ben Hubbard?

That's it!

That's the exact one I wanted to take out.

Wait a minute.

There's something stuck in here.

Ha!

MYCHAL: What's this?

Arthur, it's your library card.

No way!

It must've fallen in there last time you were here!

Here you go.

Thanks.

And don't forget to come by the library today.

The book is going to be waiting for you.

Wow!

That was easy.

Well, you know what they say:

"“Having fun isn't hard...

when you've got your library card!"”
