John Gates has opened communication!

[ Aziraphale's tones are more clipped and precise than usual, as if trying to contain his temper. He looks tense and exhausted. ]

I have restored and organized the shop I am meant to run. Gates's, at [ street & directions ]. It's not comprehensive, but if you don't want to break into a library it is possible I might have helpful information amidst - everything. All the history that I can't quite make sense of. The little devices - readers - I have those too.

[ He pauses and works his jaw for a moment. ]

And I have blank books. In case anyone has things they need to remember. . . . Appointments, that sort of thing. After all, 'memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.'

[ He shifts to switch off the communicator; if you look very carefully, you might catch a glimpse of a stack of books behind his elbow, real books, though they look incongruously new. Most of them have blank spines, but on the binding of one near the bottom of the stack, it says Lyrical Ballads. ]
