Interior,
day, library. Zim, in his human suit, drops a book onto the counter
of a library checkout station. An ancient librarian looks down at him
from across her desk.
1.
ZIM: I wish to obtain this horribly obsolete information storage
device.

Librarian
stares at him with an overly sweet demeanor.
2.
LIBRARIAN: And do you have your library card?
3.
ZIM: What? A "card"? No, I don't have a "card".

The
librarian starts ranting with a raged expression and anger in her
eyes.
4.
LIBRARIAN: Oh, you're one of those punks that thinks they can just
take a precious
book. No! Not on my watch. I'm the watcher, the keeper, the protector
of books and until you've proven yourself worthy to be entrusted with
this
tomb of knowledge
I say: Nay!

Zim
looks taken aback like he was not expecting such a firey response
from such an elderly lady.
5.
ZIM: Uh...right. How do I get one of these cards? Do I have to pass a
series of tests or prove myself in battle?
Panel

The
librarian drops a thick stack of paper onto the counter, next to the
book Zim wants to borrow. It is bigger than the book itself. Zim's
eyes are wide and surprised.
6.
LIBRARIAN: Simply fill out this paper. In triplicate.
