Librarians

Title text: Don't expect any leniencies on late fees, though.

Explanation

Cueball is pressing on Megan for stopping her idea to visit her family. While Megan is fully convinced that this visit will happen, Cueball missuses her feelings as a librarian. He starts to open up a hardcover book much farther than it was made to open, ruining the spine. Megan's idea is overruled, she agrees to Cueball just making him to stop destroying the book.

The title text explains that this method used by Cueball will not be helpful for their future relationship.
