Mr. Dewey: Horror! Oh, horror! Evil demons, wicked monsters, haunted houses, graveyards. Yes, it's horror for you, boy. I'm sure of it. Your library card, please.

Richard Tyler: I don't have one.

Mr. Dewey: [pulls out a brand new one] You do now. Sign here.

[Richard signs it]

Mr. Dewey: You mean you don't need...?

[Richard shakes his head]

Mr. Dewey: [disappointed] Oh, I see.
