Bob enters the library. Standing at a bookshelf is a LIBRARIAN, filing
some books.

BOB
Do you have any books?

LIBRARIAN
Shh.

then, later, they're re-introduced with both names:
Bob enters the library, followed by the two thugs, each armed with a heavy
cudgel. The Librarian is at the central desk, and Bob walks swiftly to it
and joins her.

BOB
You need to get out of here.
Those two are dangerous.

LIBRARIAN
I'll be better able to help you
if you just come behind the desk.

He moves behind the desk, to see the Librarian is holding a Detonics
ScoreMaster in her lap.

BOB
What? Who the hell are you?

LIBRARIAN
Susie.

BOB
Can you use that thing?

SUSIE (formerly LIBRARIAN)
Sure.

Susie stands up and shoots the two thugs in one swift and easy move.

And from then on you use the second name.
