Built on a plague pit, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
Luton is predominantly a shit-hole, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
specialising in hat-making and Satanism. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
One thing the 160,000 population doesn't like | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
is reading matter. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
This library has over 15 books | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
and there are plans to buy seven more. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Luton Library members are varied. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Someone who's in here all the time is Alan Bennett. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Hello, I'm Alan Bennett. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
I'm due a fine on these but I'm buggered if I'm paying it. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
This statue is of the goddess Athena pulling off her grateful | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
husband Archivia. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
Back again, Alan? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Not that it's any of your fucking business. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Just stamp these, you daft cow. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
The books are then carried along on a conveyor belt into a skip | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
just outside the library, where they will be destroyed in a fire. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
In the main hall is the advice and information bureau, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
providing a range of information from everything from train | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
timetables to marriage guidance. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
-I couldn't stand the sound of her breathing so I killed her. -I see. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
Also, what time is the next train to Wapping, please? | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
In the main lending room, Pamela plays soothing organ music. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
But no-one asked her to. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
The research room is a hive of people pretending to look busy. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
This couple are secretly screwing. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
Are you up for a meeting later? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Yeah, whereabouts? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
What about by the bins? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
All right. What about Judy? | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
She thinks I'm at my cousin Ted's. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
-HE SIGHS -The things I'm going to do | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
to you later. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
We also have a fleet of mobile libraries, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
all manned by oddballs that serve both the schools | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
and the hospitals, as well as the wider community. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
This weirdo is connecting the mains electricity supply | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
to the central library. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
This man spends his Saturday afternoons looking at ladies' arses. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
Occasionally, if he sees one he really likes, he'll print it off. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
This man comes here to get away from his loveless marriage. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-MUTTERING: -I've ruined my life. I wish I was dead. Ugh. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
HE FARTS Oh, dirty bastard. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
This is only a temporary goodbye, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
as you will surely return to use the facilities that libraries | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
have to offer throughout the rest of your lives. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Goodbye. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Goodbye. Goodbye. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Goodbye. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
Goodbye. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 |
