Track 10: Wolverine

SPEAKER_17: Hey, uh, so you said you were looking for a Wolverine?
SPEAKER_17: Uh, so I found, um, two books.
SPEAKER_15: I'm sorry, I'm confused. You found those books here or on our, on their website, or?
SPEAKER_17: Oh, in the store.
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
SPEAKER_17: He said he was looking for a book called Wolverine, right?
SPEAKER_15: No, I was just told to look for a book called Jumping Bean, but I couldn't find anything about it online.
SPEAKER_15: Not sure what to look for. I couldn't find the existence of that book.
SPEAKER_17: A jumping game?
SPEAKER_15: What is it that I can help you find? What are you looking for?
SPEAKER_17: So did you call for a book?
SPEAKER_15: I did not make any call. I am working here at a bookstore. I just got a call.
SPEAKER_17: Oh, okay. Sorry about that.
SPEAKER_15: Is there anything I can do for you, or?
SPEAKER_17: No, I just like, I had a call earlier of someone asking me to search for a book called Wolverine.
SPEAKER_11: You're looking for Wolverine? Is that correct?
SPEAKER_11: I heard him say submarine, but if Wolverine makes sense too.
SPEAKER_11: Oh, submarine. Okay.
SPEAKER_11: Got it. I thought I did.
SPEAKER_11: But he may have said Wolverine, you know, phones being what they are.
SPEAKER_11: No, that's fine. So we're looking for a bright yellow book called Submarine.
SPEAKER_11: Wow, I'm hearing a lot of noises.
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, this is really weird.
SPEAKER_11: You're hearing it too?
SPEAKER_11: The fall on your end?
SPEAKER_11: Right now I'm hearing a horse.
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I'm very confused. Did you happen as the author's name?
SPEAKER_11: Well, I, I, the only thing that comes up with submarine for me, is.
SPEAKER_11: is Tom Clancy or Joe Dunthorne?
SPEAKER_11: Wow, this is crazy.
SPEAKER_11: Wait, so, okay, I think this is, if you could call back, if you have another question, maybe that will help.
SPEAKER_11: Sorry about that.
SPEAKER_11: Sure. Oh, I never called, you guys called me. That's all.
SPEAKER_11: Oh, fine. That's really weird. It's not a purpose.
SPEAKER_11: I think hanging up is a good thing with that other time.
SPEAKER_11: Bye. Good luck. Bye-bye.
SPEAKER_11: All right. Whoa.
SPEAKER_14: So, are you sure they said to call a novel idea for this?
SPEAKER_21: Um, this is not a novel idea?
SPEAKER_14: This is a novel idea in Philadelphia?
SPEAKER_21: No, this is not a novel idea. This is Brickbat Books.
SPEAKER_14: We are a novel idea.
SPEAKER_14: Oh, you're a novel idea. Okay, you're calling from Brickbat. Yeah.
SPEAKER_21: You're calling from a novel idea. Okay. And you're looking for guillotine?
SPEAKER_14: Hold on a second. So I have someone who called us asking about Wolverine.
SPEAKER_21: Asked about Wolverine.
SPEAKER_14: That's what it sounded like.
SPEAKER_21: Huh.
SPEAKER_14: But now I'm even more confused.
SPEAKER_02: There's a very loud noise.
SPEAKER_14: We'll try to figure out what's going on on our end because we didn't style you.
SPEAKER_14: I picked up this phone call, so we're just trying to figure out what's going on.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah. I'm confused as well.
SPEAKER_03: Hello? Are you fucking me?
SPEAKER_03: Somebody just called asking for a Wolverine book?
SPEAKER_13: A Wolverine. They said tambourine.
SPEAKER_03: Tambourine.
SPEAKER_03: No, he told me Wolverine.
SPEAKER_13: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: You know the author's name?
SPEAKER_13: Like, I'm sorry, there's some quite weird noise in the background?
SPEAKER_03: That's not on our side. I mean, I don't know what it is either, unless it's the phone.
SPEAKER_13: Okay, that's just some kind of weird interference.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
SPEAKER_13: All right.
SPEAKER_03: So is it called tambourine?
SPEAKER_13: weird.
SPEAKER_03: Do you want to call me back?
SPEAKER_13: I can call you back, but so far I'm not sure that you have the right bookstore.
SPEAKER_13: But I will give you a call back at this number.
SPEAKER_03: Let me call back.
SPEAKER_13: Do you do, do, do.
SPEAKER_09: Can you tell me a little bit more so I know where to look?

SPEAKER_09: I was just, I had somebody on hold, and then you were there.
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so, yeah, okay, so do you have a question for me?
SPEAKER_09: No, I don't have a question for you.
SPEAKER_09: I didn't call you.
SPEAKER_09: That's why I'm a little bit perplexed is how we're now talking.
SPEAKER_09: This is really bizarre.
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
SPEAKER_05: Oh, hi.
SPEAKER_05: So I'm not sure that we carry a Wolverine book.
SPEAKER_05: Oh, sorry.
SPEAKER_05: The gentleman just now was asking about a book to do with a time machine.
SPEAKER_05: Oh, time machine?

SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_05: Let me see.
SPEAKER_05: Hello?
SPEAKER_05: Um, hello?
SPEAKER_05: Sorry, there's a weird noise.

SPEAKER_05: Hopefully it stops doing that.
SPEAKER_05: I'm not sure what that is.
SPEAKER_11: The Wolverine books are gone.
SPEAKER_11: I don't have them anymore.
SPEAKER_11: Oh, Wolverine?

SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
SPEAKER_06: He told me he was looking for a book.
SPEAKER_06: but called Wolverine.

SPEAKER_18: I've had one of...
SPEAKER_18: other in the past, but I don't have any more today.
SPEAKER_18: Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_18: So you don't need this one, all right.
SPEAKER_18: Oh, oh, I see.
SPEAKER_18: We might buy it if that's what you mean.
SPEAKER_18: Oh, yeah, I thought you were looking...
SPEAKER_18: Yeah, if you brought it in to sell it, it's possible we would buy it.
SPEAKER_18: I'm not going to guarantee that, but we would look at it if you brought it in.
SPEAKER_18: But, yeah, I don't have any to sell anybody right now, so...
SPEAKER_02: No, you, you called me asking me if I had it, and I wouldn't check for you, so...
SPEAKER_02: I'm interested or not, or...
SPEAKER_18: Um, the only reason.
SPEAKER_18: we would call is if you had requested a copy or something, I'm not sure it's...
SPEAKER_18: Oh, you just called me. I didn't call you...
SPEAKER_20: Hello.
SPEAKER_19: Hi.
SPEAKER_20: Yeah, a few copies of Vovol Team. That doesn't sound familiar to me, but tell me more.
SPEAKER_19: You guys called me asking if I had copies of the book called Wolverine.
SPEAKER_19: If you had an author name, I could look that up.
SPEAKER_20: I called you?
SPEAKER_19: Yeah, so you guys called me saying that you were looking for a copy of a book called Wolverine.
SPEAKER_20: Wolverine?
SPEAKER_20: No.
SPEAKER_20: I'm not sure what's going on.
SPEAKER_20: Somebody just called me and asked me if I had another copy of a book called Ovalteam,
SPEAKER_20: and I suggested that it must be a different bookstore because we're a used bookstore,
SPEAKER_20: so we don't have a whole bunch of copies of many books.
SPEAKER_10: Yes.
SPEAKER_10: Hi.
SPEAKER_10: So what was the title of the book?
SPEAKER_10: Was it Wolverine?
SPEAKER_10: I was just asked if we had Charlie Sheen a memoir.
SPEAKER_10: I was like, I don't see that.
SPEAKER_10: I think he missed a...
SPEAKER_10: Weird.
SPEAKER_10: This is weird.
SPEAKER_10: A little bit.
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_10: Well, I'm going to hang up.
SPEAKER_10: But you need help looking for something?
SPEAKER_10: Because, I mean, I can check the store and see, but...
SPEAKER_10: I work at a different bookstore, and I was called to check if I had one bug.
SPEAKER_10: What?
SPEAKER_09: Interesting.
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
SPEAKER_10: That is weird.
SPEAKER_08: Okay, I guess, I guess we can think we can...
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I'm just going to hang up.
SPEAKER_08: Okay, I'm sorry to keep you holding.
SPEAKER_08: No, no, no.
SPEAKER_08: No.
SPEAKER_08: is called Wolverines.
SPEAKER_12: It's called what now?
SPEAKER_08: Okay, did you call about the book Wolverines?
SPEAKER_12: No, I haven't called about anything.
SPEAKER_08: Oh, I guess I picked up the wrong line, maybe.
SPEAKER_12: Well, a gentleman just phoned me and said that he was looking for a book entitled Kidney Beans.
None: Oh.
SPEAKER_12: And that someone had picked it up here at this shop, at Kaboom Books.
SPEAKER_08: Oh.
SPEAKER_12: But this I do not know.
SPEAKER_12: I don't know that the type.
SPEAKER_12: that he gave me, I have no idea.
SPEAKER_12: So I asked if he had an author on it.
SPEAKER_08: Do you have an author?
SPEAKER_08: Well, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_08: I'm not understanding what you're asking because you're telling me...
SPEAKER_12: I'm not asking anything.
SPEAKER_12: I'm trying to answer a question asked by the gentleman who is on the line with you.
SPEAKER_08: Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_08: No one's on the line with me, I don't think.
SPEAKER_08: I just don't find it to find a book.
SPEAKER_08: Someone called and ask for a book.
SPEAKER_12: No, someone called me and asked for a book.
SPEAKER_08: This is very confusing.
SPEAKER_08: I think I picked up the wrong line.
SPEAKER_08: Hold on just a minute, okay?
SPEAKER_06: Hi, this is Valerie.
SPEAKER_06: What can we help you with today, sir?
SPEAKER_12: Nothing at all.
SPEAKER_12: I had a gentleman just call me and ask me for a title, Kidney Beans,
SPEAKER_12: which I have never heard of before.
SPEAKER_11: Oh.
SPEAKER_12: And that the woman that had recommended it to him,
SPEAKER_12: had gotten it here.
SPEAKER_12: And so I said, well, maybe if you give me the author's name, I can run with it.
SPEAKER_12: And he said, she's in the bathroom just a minute, and as soon as she comes back, I'll get it for you.
SPEAKER_12: And then another person came on the line, whom I'm assuming is one of your store people.
SPEAKER_12: That's so weird.
SPEAKER_06: There does seem to be something kind of cutting in and out.
SPEAKER_06: Like there's a line in and across.
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
SPEAKER_06: Wow.
SPEAKER_06: I don't know what that is.
SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
SPEAKER_06: Um, all right.
SPEAKER_06: Okay, kidney beans.
SPEAKER_06: I don't know who it is.
SPEAKER_02: You're saying the title is SWAT machine?
SPEAKER_01: No, I don't, I just, he told me the title was Wolverine, but we don't have a book by that name.
SPEAKER_02: Oh, Wolverine.
SPEAKER_01: But that's not correct.
SPEAKER_01: Is there some other title?
SPEAKER_02: And you don't know the author?
SPEAKER_02: I'm not hearing you.
SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm not saying anything.
SPEAKER_01: I'm just, what is that noise?
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I don't know what the noise is either.
SPEAKER_01: Um, he called and said that you purchased a book here and that there was more of them,
SPEAKER_01: but I can't figure out what book that is.
SPEAKER_01: You didn't remember?
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
SPEAKER_02: But maybe, could you call me back?
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what that sound is on the phone.
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
