EXTRACT: Of all the women in the world I happened to find those two. Of all the women in the world why did I have to find you? Did Bogart say that? Maybe Gable. Cagney. I know it wasn't Gibson or Cruise. Too modern. Lines like that are not spoken today. I cannot see a line like that coming from Cruise. I cannot see a line like that period. It is just hearsay.

EXTRACT: I have done the next best thing. I am a librarian. Thus the very essence of the word is all around me every day. I am surrounded by the fundamental nature of happiness. This is possibly why, when traversing certain areas of the library I feel a pull, a drawing towards a certain section. The last time this happened I was in the reference division. It was as though a not too gentle hand was guiding me, directing me. I was with a colleague who said when this episode was over it was as though I was bewitched.
