The Library - 10/24

Isabel opened the library on time. In honor of the season, this morning's breakfast was a pumpkin latte and an apple cider doughnut.

E! Online is a legitimate news source. Really!

"Morning, Isabel," Peter said, hoping that he was not, in fact, crazy to think that the library might have movies.

"Hi Peter!" Isabel smiled. "What's up?"

"How do you do?" He smiled back at her. "I was wondering - does the library have movies at all for someone to borrow?"

"I'm doing well thank you. And yes, we do." Isabel gestured towards where all the AV stuff was kept. "It's actually a pretty good selection. Is there anything specific you're looking for?"

"Movies with fencing in them?" Peter asked. "Especially good swordwork."

"I liked the Zirro movies," she admitted. "I can't tell you if the swordwork was legitimately good. But it looked cool to me. Of course I do have a yen for Antonio Banderas, so that might have colored my opinion some."

Peter grinned. "He's pretty enough the swordwork doesn't matter, hmm?"

"Exactly," Isabel chuckled. "Tall, dark and gorgeous. Just don't tell Greg I said that. He's liable to get jealous."

"I don't know," Peter teased. "My Stickbug Brother should know about the rival for your affections."

"Nah," she laughed. "When it comes right down to it, Greg with the magic hair wins. Another movie you might want to check out is ~~insert meta of the Three Muskateers here."~~

Peter grinned. "I'm glad of that. Oh, I shall definitely check out that one. And I read about one ~~Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon~~ Stooping Panther, Clandestine Serpent that I'm hoping to find."

"Oh! I've seen that. It was Michael's contribution to movie night once," Isabel explained. "If you don't mind subtitles, it's actually really good."

Peter frowned at that. "Hmm, I don't mind, but I'm not sure. Perhaps. Just watching the swordwork might be interesting enough."

"I think there's a version that's dubbed into English," she said. "But Michael was all about the authenticity."

"But it's a movie..." Peter pointed out, clearly confused at the concept. "And I was going to get some movies for Zuko while he's in the clinic, but there's a bit of a language issue."

"I think he wanted to focus on the movie and not be distracted by the actors lips moving and not being in sync with the dialogue. It does get annoying when you're watching a movies seriously." Isabel thought about it for a moment. "What about something where the dialogue isn't so important? Some Bugs Bunny? Or the Three Stooges? Or do you think he won't like that? I really don't know him that well."

"Perhaps," Peter replied. "But I was telling him about fighting in movies. And I'm not sure the Three Stooges counts."

"No, I guess not," she laughed. "There's always Courageous Heart. He might like the battle scenes."

Peter wrinkled his nose. "That's one of the ones where the English are the bad guys, right?"

Isabel facepalmed. "Oh, yeah, oops...I forgot about that."

Peter laughed. "Not like I don't get it bad enough in Government. Pete Hutter told me he was going to report my spying activities to the President."

"Somebody needs to explain the unique and complimentary relationship our two countries have these days to Pete," she laughed. "Isn't that class great though? I loved it when I had it last Spring."

"Actually, it really is," Peter agreed. "I'm learning a lot. Did Professor Lyman's President come last term?"

"No he didn't. Did he come to your class? That must have been great. He sounds like a great man," she said.
