Jenna: The Prop?

Our Bold Hero: Yeah, it's the first time in a while that I've just, you know, pulled a book off the shelf at the library. I mean, I do that, but this time I have no idea...

Jenna (distant): Uh huh.

Our Bold Hero (excited): Look at it, though. I think it's from that period — remember after The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay came out, there were all these retro books, with the similar covers. [Dan is mistaken, but does not realize it.] Like, uh, Carter Beats the Devil, and... you don't know what I'm talking about, do you? I should be having this conversation with someone else.

Jenna: Yeah. [Some names are suggested.]

Our Bold Hero: Crap! She's not online. WHERE are all my book friends!?!
