Can you not sing during the movie?
Oh, sorry Princess.
I just finished a book on singing.
Did you know you can learn
literally anything from a book?
But can you sing, like...
outside or something?
Yeah, I'm trying to pay attention
to the subtleties
of this cinematic masterpiece.
-[quaking] -[bleating]
I'm on my way out anyway.
I have to return these to the library
by the end of the day
or I'll be banned for life.
What? That's crazy.
Why would you ever be banned from a library?
The library has a very strict return policy.
You're late!
Oh, yeah.
[stuttering] If I say I'm sorry,
can I put them down?
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I can't be late.
Banned for life, eh?
Old slow Rick...
what an easy target.
Ruining his day is gonna be a synch.
[soft instrumental music plays]
Phew. Still plenty of time.
[gasps]
There's a bookmark sale!
Oh! What a day to be alive.
[gasps]
My books!
They were just here. They're gone!
-Shh! -[whispers] Sorry.
[telephone ringing]
[softly] Uh, excuse me...
The phone.
[telephone ringing]
[gasps] Hello?
Hello, Richard.
Master Frown?
Just wanted to call and make sure you're okay with me,
[loudly] borrowing your library books!
What? You fiend!
What have you done with them?
Your books are fine...
for now.
Put the books on the phone.
Flip the pages so I know they're okay.
Oh, thank goodness.
Don't worry Richard,
I'm just borrowing them.
I promise I'll bring them back...
next week!
No! Those books are due today!
Then I guess you'll be banned
from the library forever!
[cackling]
[grunts]
Don't worry, library books.
I will return you.
And how are you gonna get 'em back?
By lecturing me?
This calls for some speed reading...
Listen, buddy.
I know how to do stuff.
Stuff I learned from reading books.
Stuff that make me one mean customer.
I will locate you.
I will take the books you borrowed.
And I will return them!
I'm coming for you.
[trembling]
[grunts]
Oh, forgot my bookmarks.
When did the old block guy get so intense and scary?
[whimpering]
[gobbling]
-[quaking] -[bleating]
[all clamoring]
Dude, what gives?
[gasp] Guys, Rick's got...
The Book Look.
The Book Look?
Last time I saw The Book Look was when I borrowed a book
and forgot to give it back.
He... he hunted me down
[whimpering]
Thank you.
Master Frown has borrowed my library books.
All 12 of them.
Excuse me, I have to trace a call
using my call tracing skills
I learned from my Call Tracing book.
[device beeping]
Triangulating location.
Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.
[gasps]
There!
Frown was calling from the center of town.
Wait! We'll come too.
If all your books were borrowed,
you're gonna need all the help you can get.
-Yeah! -Anything to get rid of the Book Look!
[all screaming]
[tires screech]
-[whimpering] -[horn honking]
[all screaming]
[panting]
[tires screech]
Hmm...
[panting]
[whimpering]
Hmm. Let's keep looking.
[tires screech]
[grunting]
Rick's on a war path.
I gotta scatter these books!
[panting]
[instrumental music plays]
Books! Free books!
Here buddy, have a book!
Quack.
Here you go, lady!
Ignore the library stamp, it's a misprint.
Ooh, thank you.
-Here, ladies! -Uh, thanks?
[grunts]
-[car approaching] -[whimpering]
A book mark. Frown's close.
You there, have you seen these books?
I saw a duck
with a book of bread recipes.
That's all I know. I swear!
[screams]
How fowl.
But Rick,
how are you gonna find one duck
in this whole wide Unikingdom?
With the bird-watching skills I read about.
-[bird tweeting] -Red-chested warbler,
northern oceanic blue bill,
old speckled hen...
[gasps]
Duck!
Sir, that book is not what you think.
That's a library book...
and I'm going to need it back.
[ominous quack]
Quack.
Quack!
[grunts]
C'mon, after them!
Quack.
[gasping]
[shuddering]
[grunts] Quack!
[groans]
Why are they jumping when they can both fly?
[whispers] Shh! Let them chase, little bro.
Let them chase.
[panting] Quack.
[clears throat]
Quack, quack, quack!
[panicked] Quack, quack, quack!
Quack, quack, quack, quack!
[gasps]
[sniffs] Quack.
Quack-quack-quack.
You got it, Rick!
How did you do that?
Chapter 5 of my bird watching book
was "Duck Calls."
One book down, eleven to go.
[giggles] Oh, my!
[gasps] Another book!
How scandalous! [laughs]
Rick, you checked out a romance novel?
I'm a complex emotional brick, princess.
Now Edith, please return that book.
No way!
It was just getting smoochy!
-[both grunting] -[Edith grunts]
[groans]
Easy there, kiddo.
I know Kung Fu.
So do I.
Kung Fu For Winners!
[murmuring]
It was in the Educational Section,
so prepare to get schooled.
Uh, I can't watch!
[screaming]
-[flat grunt] -Huh?
I got schooled.
[grunts]
Oh... Mad skills.
Correct. Here, hold on to these.
There's ten more out there.
If it takes everything I've learned from books,
I will return them!
[swords clashing]
[both grunting]
[moans] Oh...
Huh?
[cackling]
[eagle screeching]
[screams]
Don't eat me!
[eagle screeching]
Oh, yeah!
Only four books left,
and you've got one.
[Brock] Pop, hang on, I'm on the last page...
And.... done!
Thanks, bro.
Oh, by the way,
Master Frown is hiding, like,
right over there,
in case you were looking for him.
[yells] Brock, what the...
Come on man!
[panicking]
Thank you.
Get back here!
It's the end of the line, Frown.
Just give me back the books
and this can all be over.
Oh, yeah?
Well, it looks like you're going to have to make
a choice, old man.
If you try to catch me,
then these babies are going for a swim...
and their pages will get really wrinkly!
You're out of your mind!
And you're out of time.
Ha! So long!
No!
Away Brock!
Aye, aye!
[gasps] Paper plane skills, don't fail me now.
[whooshes]
[car approaching]
Rick, what happened?
Master Frown made off with the last book.
We spent so long collecting these
that there's no time to find Frown
before the library closes.
Looks like I'll be banned forever.
At least I can still turn these in on time.
Goodbye, my beloveds.
I'm afraid I won't be checking any of you out ever again.
If only I could find that last...
Wait.
A book mark?
Frown!
[gasps] You.
Hello, Richard.
You're probably wondering
why I'm here,
risking my whole operation.
I just had to be here to see those
big, sad, Richard tears
when you get banned for life!
[laughs boisterously]
[librarian] The library will be closing in two minutes.
Hear that?
Two minutes before you're...
"Late.
Occurring beyond the anticipated
or typical time."
The last book!
See if you can catch me, book worm!
Huh?
[grunts]
-[grunt] -[gasps]
[groans]
[screaming]
I'm trying to read here!
-[grunts] -Shh!
[whispers] Oh, sorry.
[librarian] The library will be closing in one minute.
[screaming]
Huh? [gasps]
[grunting]
[groaning]
-Shh! -Sorry.
[gasps]
[blows raspberry]
[cackling]
Huh? [grunts]
Ah!
-[grunts] -[both straining]
Let go!
Never! You're getting banned, pal!
[straining]
It's going to tear!
[cackling]
[librarian] The library will be closing in 30 seconds.
I need more skills!
Geometry.
Mmm. Mmm. Yeah.
I will return you...
[yelps]
[whimpering]
Yes! I returned the books on time.
-Shh! -Sorry.
[whispers] Yes!
Wow. That was honestly super impressive.
Maybe I should get a library card,
and learn some amazing skills of my own.
You know, I could really up my game--
You're banned for life.
Those bookcases aren't cheap, you know.
-What? -Shh!
[screams]
[sobbing]
-Get me out of here! -[both shushing]
[sobbing]
