(howling) - I'm upset too, Olaf.
- Actually, he was asking if the library has any security cameras.
You know, to review the tapes from this morning to see if there's anything unusual.
- I really misread that howl!
- There's a room with security cameras at the far end of the library.
- Alright, here's the plan.
We're going to open the doors-- - AHH!
(doors sliding) - Hey... - We're going to follow Olaf.
- AHH!
- (Oren): Run!
The books are gaining on us!
- (first librarian): Come on, run!
- (second librarian): Security room is to the left!
-We made it!
- I got a paper cut.
(hammering on door) - Here are the security camera monitors -- I'll cue up all the footage from this morning.
(mooing) - (Oren): These three villains visited the library this morning: Double Dave... (gasping) - Tammy 10-Spot... (gasping) - ...and Even Steven.
This would go a lot faster if you saved your gasps until the end.
- Oh, yeah... Save my voice.
- I can see that.
- Double Dave likes doubling numbers, so if you start with 2 then double it, you get 4.
Double that, you get 8.
Tammy Ten Spot -- she likes to count by 10s.
10, 20, 30, 40.
And Even Steven -- he's only into even numbers.
- Which is any number that can be divided by 2, or in half.
To fully illustrate this concept, these 4 security monitors are an example of an even number.
2 here, 2 here.
4 divided in half.
- Oh... - Now you can gasp.
(gasping) - Uh, so...which of them did it?
- Well, each villain has a "thing" for numbers, and every book in the library has a number on the spine.
- Yeah, that's how I organize them on the shelves.
- If we catch some of the flying books, maybe the numbers can help us find out which villain did it!
- Great!
Uh, uh, wait... - Uh... - When you say "catch some of the flying books", you mean with our hands?
- I wouldn't use your feet!
Ha!
That's Olaf's thing.
- (Olaf): Yay!
(beeping)
