Mr. Man im Buchladen. Einer der besten Sketche aus "Little Britain".

Owner: Hello. I did not know you liked books.
Mr. Man: Hello. Yes, I like books very much.
Owner: Are you looking for anything in particular?
Mr. Man: Not really. I was just wondering if you had any books on mediaeval English music between the dates 1356 and 1390?
Owner: Ehm... I can't see anything here. Margaret knows all the books. One moment. Margaret! Margaret!
Margaret: Yes?
Owner: There's a gentleman here who wants to know if we've got any books on mediaeval English music dating between 1356 and 1390.
Margaret: Paperback or hardback?
Owner: Paperback or hardback?
Mr. Man: Oh, you know me. I'm easy.
Owner: He says he is easy.
Margaret: There should be one, over by the Mike Gatting autobiography.
Owner: Oh, yes, here we are. “A History Of Mediaevil Music, 1356 to 1390”.
Mr. Man: Sorry, I didn't grip in time.
Mr. Man: Sorry, I gripped too soon that time. You may have to hold it.
Owner: Right. Well, what do you reckon?
Mr. Man: How many pages does it have?
Owner: Ehm, 312.
Mr. Man: Oh. I was hoping for something more along the 306 mark.
Owner: Right.
Mr. Man: Do you think the author might be interested in rewriting his work to cut it down? Maybe if you cut out all the “O”s, you might lose six pages there.
Owner: I... I don't think so, no.
Mr. Man: Maybe I'm being too specific.
Owner: You are being a little specific, yes.
Mr. Man: Ok. Have you got any books?
Owner: Have I got any books?
Mr. Man: Yes.
Owner: Well, yes, we've got hundreds of them.
Mr. Man: I'll take them, please.
Owner: Oh, right. Oh. You, ehm... you must really like reading.
Mr. Man: Oh no. Unfortunately, I'm blind.
