LORNE: Call me crazy, but I'm getting the weirdest sense of deja vu here. How come every time you and me hit the big city we end up in a library? Snoresville. Next time, why don't we do something fun?

ANGEL: Like what?

LORNE: Elton's in town next month. What do you say, you and me, back row seats?

ANGEL: I don't do big and crowded.

LORNE: Mr. Elton John hits the first few keys of "Yellow Brick Road", I defy you not to feel like the only other person in the room.

(A librarian gasps at the sight of Lorne.)

LORNE: Hi. How are you?

LIBRARIAN: You ... You're ... (starts to smile in relief) here for the children's reading program!

LORNE: (smiles back) Yes. Yes, I am.

LIBRARIAN: It's not until tomorrow morning.

LORNE: I know. I never perform without checking out the space first. Get a feel for the room.

LIBRARIAN: Oh. Well, the kids'll flip over your costume. It looks so authentic.

LORNE: Thank you.

LIBRARIAN: Except for the horns. But those are probably hard to fake.

LORNE: If you only knew.

LIBRARIAN: The reading area is down that way. Just take a left.

LORNE: Toodles. See you and the munchkins in the morning.

LIBRARIAN: Right. (He goes left as instructed.)

LIBRARIAN: (to the others) If you plan on checking anything out you've got about five minutes.

CORDELIA: Actually, we're looking for someone we think works here.

LIBRARIAN: Who's that?

CORDELIA: Okay, she's, uh, tall. She has brown hair about down to here, wears glasses, pretty.

LIBRARIAN: Sorry.

CORDELIA: She wears a locket, uh, shaped like a ball or, or an apple, I think?

LIBRARIAN: An apple? Fred wore one of those.

ANGEL: Fred?

LIBRARIAN: Winifred. Everyone called her Fred.

ANGEL: Do you know where we can find her?

LIBRARIAN: Fred disappeared five years ago. They never found her. Police said if she didn't show up in the first week -- Well, we all stopped hoping a while ago.

(She hands them a flyer showing Fred.)

CORDELIA: This is her.

WESLEY: Can you tell us anything about her?

LIBRARIAN: She worked here in the library with me. She was studying to be a physicist.

WESLEY: The day she disappeared --

LIBRARIAN: Oh. It was creepy. One minute she's cataloguing in the foreign language section and the next minute she's gone!
