Come on in, Mr. Vegas.

What can I do for you?

I really appreciate you seeing me after hours. I know that you were such a busy

person with all the work here to be done, but... I've got to tell you, being

principal, it never slows.

It's pretty much always busy, so when I've got time, I'm happy to give it.

can I do for you?

Well, I wanted to discuss with you some information I found out in the library

earlier today.

I went right there, putting books back, and I looked in the card and

saw that the book was gone from the shelves.

Yes, this book is gone from the shelves because it is filth and garbage

and does not need to be in the minds of our students.

Look, I would like to discuss this because I really don't think...

We should be banning books from the library. A banned book is not going to

prevent the student from knowing the knowledge.

It's just going to demonize it in a way that we shouldn't be.

Well, what's going to prevent the students from going out and doing

mutt they read in this book?

Well, look, it's the same argument people make about video games. It's just

proven to not translate like that. People don't act out when they read the

material. But there are some very important elements.

for our student body to understand this. And our students that are 18 years plus

should have the ability to access this knowledge. This could be important to

their lives.

This is exactly what I do not feel they need to have in their knowledge, in

their heads. I do not want a school full of very hormonal kids running around

and reading books full of this filth. It doesn't need to be in their heads.

It does nothing good, and I don't have space for it on my shelves.

Look, I beg you to reconsider, please, for the good of a young

person's mind. Help them expand their mind.

I just can't justify putting it on the shelves.

Have you actually read the book, Principal?

What an absurd question.

Of course I haven't read this book.

All I have to do is open it for one second. Hell, look at the cover.

What about this can be good for their minds?

You cannot judge a book by its cover.

Please reconsider this.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

There's just nothing that I can do for you today.

See you.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

This is my office.

I just like my book back. Thank you very much.

This book doesn't belong in the hands of anybody.

This is the kind of thing you're doing when you're accusing the students of

being lewd?

What sort of behaviors are you trying to exemplify?

I'm the principal here. I'll ask the question.

You don't need to be in my office right now.

You can leave. Just leave, please. I can't believe I caught you masturbating

work.

Is that what you think the book is going to do to people? Will we be finally

invited to read it?

Now more than ever, I'm sure that that book does not belong on the shelves in

this educational facility, okay? It's not going in our library.

Your own out -of -control behaviors are not going to be the standard for

everybody else in Victoria.

I don't know what's going to happen.

I see where you even left the bookmark. Again.

How funny.

How do we resolve this? How can I make this okay?

Because you're telling me, as a librarian, I can't have this in the

you're in your office, testing yourself to this.

It's different.

I was trying to understand where you were coming from.

Yeah? How's the difference? Show me how it's different.

It's different because I know better.

It's different because you're not doing what they're talking about in the book,

and you're jealous.

You're jealous that one of these students might be able to get it, and

can't.

That's the third thing to say.

Doesn't look like it from where I'm standing.

Instead of masturbating shamefully in your office, why don't you just ask

someone for what you want, Principal Victoria?

Right here.

It puts me in a real tough spot at work.

Now, Michael, I'm just trying to do what you said, okay? So either we're doing

this or we're not doing it. Are we doing it?

I'm going to let go of those strict views you hold on yourself, principal.

I'm tight.

Thank you, principal.

I like fulfilling it.

back to you.
