Candice: Hello avid Gallery lovers. I'm the Orlando Gallery's president, Candice. As a lover of literature, I am quite proud to support any cause for furthring reading in our schools.
(next scene: Christy is at another of the library tables, this time there is a computer at the table. She turns around to face the camera)
Christy: Hi, I'm Christy, the Gallery's co-founder. Reading is great for you because it can take you to another world and allow you to experience things you haven't experieneced in the real world. And it also helps you to communicate. (turns her attention to the computer screen, where she checks her mailbox and sees a message titled, "this is really cool! check it out!". She opens it and there's a ton of porno material) What the fu--- holy freakin' cow... oh my GOD this is not funny.... dammit, this is not funny, who the hell sent this to me....
(in the next scene, we see AJ eagerly flipping through an issue of Playboy. The camera focuses on him.)
Candice (behind camera): Uhh, AJ? What the hell is that?
AJ (looking up): Oh! Damn... (drops the magazine) Hi, I'm AJ McLean, and let me say that reading helps you gain.... exposure to things in life. (after a moment of silence) Can I have my magazine back?
(in the next scene we see Justin at the table leafing though a book.)
Justin: Yo, I'm Justin Timberlake. Readin' is good for you 'cause it helps you keep up with the times. (he picks his book up and we see the title on the front: How To Be A Pimp.)
(in the next scene we see Nick at the table, and Candice is sitting next to him)
Candice: So, Nick, tell the people why you like to read.
Nick: Why do I like to read? (squirms uncomfortably) Eh...
Candice: (exasperated) Better question-what do you like to read?
Nick: (suddenly excited) Comic books! Like Spiderman and Silver Surfer and X-Men! And the magazines with all the pretty ladies that AJ gives me.
Candice: Oh Lord...
(in the final shot we see AJ at a table again)
AJ: And finally, reading is good for you 'cause it's fun! (as soon as he thinks no one's looking, he pulls the Playboy out of his pocket and opens it up to the centerfold) Aww yeah...
(Christy approaches him)
Christy: AJ, do you know anything about that freaky e-mail I got?
AJ: What e-mail? (snickers)
Christy: You sent it, didn't you?
AJ: Whaaaat?! I thought it was funny!
Christy: Funny my ass, that was WRONG! Do I look perverted to you? I did not find this amusing! You *beep*in' *beep*!!!! You better run, boy!
AJ: (yelling) Maaaaaamaaaaa......
Christy: (now in persuit of him) That's right, you better call for your mama!
AJ: HELLLLLLLLP!!!!
Christy: Shut up, you're in a library!!
(behind one of the bookshelves, we can hear AJ whimpering)
Christy: You pitful puppy, you are SO dead!
(we hear a loud clattering and AJ whining)
AJ: Aww man, why'd ya drop the encyclopedias on me...
Candice: (voice over) Reading. Just do it.
