Mary: Judy, please...
Judy Lindendorf: Look! Here is a card from an early card catalogue. See that handwriting? Look at the flowery script. That's what young ladylike librarians were taught, penmanship.

Judy Lindendorf: Melville Dewey hired women as librarians because he believed the job didn't require any intelligence! It was a woman's *job*!
Mary: That's not my fault...
Judy Lindendorf: That means it's under *paid* and under *valued*! This country has *more* illiteracy than some of the most underdeveloped nations! Even Americans who *can* read *don't*! They watch movies, they watch television, they watch movies *on* the television!
Mary: I said I was...
Judy Lindendorf: Get out! I won't have you working here.
Judy Lindendorf: [as Mary starts to walk away] Mary!
Judy Lindendorf: [as Mary stops and looks] This is a depression!
