Quotes 

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : [Passes a shelf a book titles "Alice Quinn, Quentin Coldwater, Eliot Waugh"]  Wait a minute. I know these people.

  The Librarian : Well, every book is here - all the books ever written, all the books never written, all the books of all the people who ever lived.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : [Picks one up]  This is my book. Yo. Why are there all these flowers and shit on the cover?

  [Opens it] 

  The Librarian : Ah, People who read their books often discover they don't like the main character and are rarely happy with how it ends.

  [Penny closes it] 

• The Librarian : Ah. Here it is.

  [Takes a book titled "Martin Chatwin"] 

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Wait, Martin? That's one of the Fillory kids. Okay, is there anything in there about The Beast?

  [Reaches for the book] 

  The Librarian : I'm sorry. I can't lend you this. Not without a library card.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Course you can't. You know, shit like this is why people hate librarians.

• The Librarian : You're late.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : I'm what? Who are you?

  The Librarian : You always ask the same questions.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : I don't know what you're talking about.

  The Librarian : You never do. I'm a member of The Order, the keepers of the libraries of the Neitherlands, the greatest repository of knowledge, full stop.

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Any idea who the motherfuckers in the hoods are that are trying to kill me?

  The Librarian : The locals used to work for us; in a custodial function; but labor relations have become somewhat strained of late. We had to ban them from the libraries. They've been thoroughly cursed, so they can't use the fountains, but that hasn't stopped them from finding other employment, some with a particularly nasty entity.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : The Beast?

  The Librarian : Well, he has many names.
