["The Shouty Librarian Game Show" appears on screen, then cut to a male librarian exiting his car in the Rochester Public Library's parking lot and shouting directly at the camera]
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: I am Shouty Librarian, let's do this thing!
[he pumps his fist, then cut to the entrance to the library, as he stands outside (still shouting at the camera)]
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: I am the Shouty Librarian, I will solve your problem in thirty seconds or the cash is yours!
[cut to a female patron walking up to the patron]
PATRON 1: I don't know what type of digital camera to buy.
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: Consumer Reports' here, available online! Libraries are rated top one in consumer unbiased information confidence! Get in the library!
[he points at the door, as the patron walks in, then another female patron walks up to the librarian]
PATRON 2: I wanna be creative with my kids.
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: We have an art room right here! Your kids can be the next Van Gogh! You're Van Gone, get in the library!
[he points at the door, as the patron walks in, then a male patron walks up to the librarian while holding his cellphone]
PATRON 3: I need to learn Spanish on the plane, tonight!
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: We have downloadable language apps! You can put 'em on your phone and learn the language on the plane! Get your apps in the library!
[he points at the door, as the patron runs into the library]
PATRON 3: Yes!
[another male patron walks up to the librarian]
PATRON 4: My kids gave me a Kindle or a Nook or something ... I don't know how to get a book on it.
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: We can download books right onto it, and if you don't like that, you can get a real book and lie to your kids and tell 'em you downloaded it! Get in the library!
[cut to inside a parking garage, as a woman exits her car while speaking into her phone]
WOMAN: It's no big deal, I mean--
[the librarian suddenly appears (holding a wad of cash in his hand) and jumps in front of her, startling her]
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: It's Shouty Librarian, invading your personal space! Meet the challenge, get the cash! Head to the library after your challenge!
[he points off camera, as the woman nervously returns to her phone conversation]
WOMAN: I have to go, there's some librarian guy here ...
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: Go to the library challenge!
[cut to the woman inside the library, climbing up and down a metal step stool]
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: Only a hundred more steps and the cash is yours!
WOMAN: I don't think I can do this!
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: You can do it! You can do it!
[cut to two other women outside of the library, racing against each other while pushing bookcarts down the sidewalk]
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: Go! Go! Go! Cash is on the line!
[cut to the librarian in his car]
SHOUTY LIBRARIAN: Let's get some people into the library!
[he drives off, as the scene fades to black]
