But you've got a long way to go, Hamer.
00:05
You can't get fired in a second-hand bookshop.
00:09
I want to learn my job.
00:11
What job, lad?
00:13
The job I've got to do.
00:14
To make things fairer.
00:17
To get rid of all this poverty and dirt.
00:21
Well, to talk to people and make them see that all this has got to be changed.
00:26
Everyone's got to have enough to eat.
00:28
You're going to put the world right, eh?
00:31
I'm going to try.
00:32
Well, that's not a bad thing to do when you're young.
00:35
You might even make a living at it, some do.
00:38
But not everything you've got to learn for that comes out of books.
00:42
Here comes your pupil.
00:51
Good afternoon, Miss Artingstall.
00:53
Good afternoon.
00:55
Good afternoon, Mr. Redshaw.
00:57
Good afternoon, Miss Artingstall.
00:59
What revolutionary stuff has he been giving you now?
01:02
Our student's introduction to Karl Marx?
01:05
I don't know what your father would say.
01:07
Neither do I.
01:08
Luckily, Daddy doesn't read much.
01:10
Well, if Hamer turns you into a radical, I disclaim all responsibility.
01:18
Well, have you read it?
01:20
Yes, at least...
01:22
All of it?
01:23
Well, it's a bit solid.
01:26
Not hollow.
01:28
I think it's all rather horrid.
01:30
Oh, of course it is, for the rich.
01:33
I didn't mean that.
01:34
I mean, it's horrid that there should be so many people as poor as that.
01:38
Horrid.
01:39
What a nice, ladylike word.
01:41
A wet day is horrid, but poverty is horrible.
01:46
You think what he wants is possible?
01:48
Possible and surgical. It must come.
01:51
It would be good if it did.
01:54
Not for you.
01:55
Well, not for you either, for that matter.
01:56
You're not a worker.
01:57
Not the way he means.
01:59
Nonsense. Of course I am.
02:00
I'm...
02:01
I mean, I'm not a labourer, but I work.
02:03
I earn my living instead of being a parasite who lives on other people's work.
02:07
I'm...
02:08
What should I read next, Mr. Redshaw?
