I think The Library is a class episode and the performance of Lt Bookman is awesome. But I really don't get the subplot of Elaine at work.
I listened to the commentary with Larry Charles and to honest I got think he knew what it was about either ?
Any ideas ?
Unless of course you've already talked about this subject in which case you can shoot me down in flames and ridicule me as you see fit.

I love that Elaine-at-work dialogue.
Elaine: "Did you read my manuscript?"
Boss: "Yes I did! Yes, I did..."
Kramer: "Did he like it?"
Elaine: "No he didn't! No, he didn't..." |

"Its freezing , it hurts your teeth!"
I liked it to , it just didn't seem to get wrapped up to any sort of conclusion. Unless I missed something.

We gave everything we could Mrs. Sokol, but nothing was good enough for you. You're very particular, very particular. |

I love The Library too ; it`s also one of my favorite episods.
Like i said before, i`m mexican, and i don`t have much idea about some references in your culture and context (believe it or not, i never been in USA); anyway, what's the deal with Mr. Bookman character? Does he represent someone special?
Thanks for your information. |

Actually, Lipman appears to be a take-off on the Joe Friday character that appeared in Jack Webb's 1950s TV series Dragnet. (Note the Kewpie Doll remark.) |

Ya think?! Actually it is Bookman but, yes, it is a direct take-off from Joe. Just the facts. |

The performance by the actor playing Bookman was one of the best I have ever seen.
Did he get an Emmy for it? Or at least a nomination... |

He probably didn't not even garner consideration for an Emmy because, while well delivered, his character, and many of the exact dialogue lines were taken directly from Dragnet's Joe Friday which, I thought, was part of the joke. |

Why would you assume, Gak? Leads to assumptions. |
