The Days Inbetween

(pop music)

[announcer] And we're back on the air in

5, 4, 3, 2...

And we are back with London Talk

and everyone's favorite subject which is

of course the The Cheap Strike.

Next is Valerie.

Hey, I'd like to talk about

the tube engineering works.

Every weekend most of the tube lines

are partly closed and

that's really annoying.

Well around 4 million

people use the tube

every single day and the system wasn't

designed for that many people.

Naturally, they need to close parts of it

in order to extend the

platforms for larger trains.

Why can't we just close

the tube for a whole month?

You want to close the tube for a month?

Yeah, and they can complete all the work

and the pain is over.

I think it'll take a little bit longer

to sort out their problems than that.

How will everyone get to work

if the Cheap shut down?

They can take a bus.

So if I lived in zone 6,

you'd expect me to spend

4 hours on a journey into central London?

You just simply move

closer to your work place.

I think you should move somewhere

where you can't listen

to this radio station.

That's all we've got time for today,

I'm Jessica Winters and this has been

London Talk, a safe

journey home for everybody.

(pop music)

We should consider making

the tube a regular subject.

Maybe every Monday.

I don't know.

Is it just me, or are the callers

complaining more than usual?

Well it's a little

bit daft at the moment.

It happens.

I'd just like some proper discussion.

I suppose a proper opinion's too much

to ask for on a Monday morning.

You alright?

Yeah.

What's tomorrow?

The fourth investor aboard

is adjusting becoming the Mayor of London.

Oh great!

I'm so looking forward to that!

Don't forget the

interview tomorrow at 10:30.

Sure, that'll be fun.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

Hey, Pete.

Well hello, Ms. Winters.

Nice show today.

Thanks. Lift broken again?

Yeah, they're waiting

on replacement parts.

Great.

I always take my break

when your show's on.

I've got an interesting fact

for you about the tube.

There are barely any fatal accidents,

maybe one a year,

but there are about 50 people

commit suicide on the tube each year.

That's what your callers

should be talking about.

Far more important than

them being late for work, isn't it?

True. You should call in one day.

Nah, I prefer to listen

to you, Ms. Winters.

Thanks, Pete.

Have a good day.

You as well.

You won't believe me,

I do something quite unusual.

Go on.

I test airplane food.

(laughs) That sounds like an awful job.

Don't think I've ever

had good food on a plane.

Well the food's usually rubbish,

but the thing is I actually

get to test the food on the plane.

Seriously?

Oh yeah, I spend most

time of the year on planes,

usually long distance flights which

basically means I eat a lot.

Well you don't look like you do.

Oh, thanks.

I assume you get to

see a lot of countries.

Mostly airports.

I only have a day or so between flights,

but it's usually enough to get an

impression of the different countries.

That sounds like a

really interesting job.

Doesn't it?

I always say to myself,

"Chrissy, you are the

luckiest person in the world."

Chrissy... I thought you

said your name was Sarah.

Oh, Chrissy's my second name.

Christine, Sarah-Christine.

Well listen Sarah slash Christine,

it was nice meeting you.

(jingle music)

Hi there!

Hello.

Thank you.

Okay great, that's in screen 2.

Enjoy your film.

Thanks.

[intercom] A day at the cinema is

not complete without some fresh popcorn

Grab our special offer and enjoy a large

popcorn and two drinks

for only 10 pounds...

Hey.

Hey!

I'll cover your break.

Cool, I just found out we're

going to get a retrospective in next week,

how cool is that?

Oh... black and white films?

Yeah.

Not really my thing.

Okay, what is your thing then?

Action films?

I like Nouvelle films, you know,

the French new wave from the sixties.

Like Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol.

The black and white films?

Hey Jason!

Who's that?

Our main projectionist.

Doesn't speak much, does he?

Well if you spent all day

alone in the projection booth,

guess you wouldn't speak a lot either.

Okay, well thank you.

[intercom] 3D glasses now

on sale at the box office.

Cinema, make your day!

The passing of a loved one always

brings life to a standstill.

Nothing can fill the void

that Stefan has left behind.

But your memories of him will always be

with you in your heart.

Let us pray.

When I must leave you for a little while,

please do not grieve and shed wild tears.

And hug your sorrow to

you through the years.

But start out bravely

with a gallant smile,

and for my sake, and in my name,

live on and do all things the same.

Feed not your loneliness on empty days,

but fill each waking hour in useful ways.

Wasn't that a lovely speech?

Certainly was.

The poem was so touching.

That one is being used

quite often at funerals.

Is it?

Yes.

Not many people here

to pay their respects

to poor Stefan.

Actually, quite a few funerals

are only attended by a handful of people.

So I've heard.

Well, I wouldn't like to die like that.

Being killed by a fridge

falling from a van.

Oh yes, horrible.

How did you know him?

I knew him from work.

He was a Busker, a one man band!

Right.

Can all passengers please proceed

to security after receiving

their boarding passes?

Seriously?

Yup, I'm the voice of Heathrow Airport.

That's something really interesting.

And tough, believe me.

You have to record every

possible time, city,

and airline so they can cut it up.

You spend hours recording

Barcelona, Berane, Belfast...

Berlin.

Boston.

Brussels.

Budapest.

That's sick.

Your flight is delayed by

approximately 30 minutes,

60 minutes, 90 minutes...

2 hours.

3 hours.

4 hours!

We are sorry for the inconvenience

this may cause to your travel.

Wow.

You also have to record it

in different languages too.

(speaking German)

Please do not leave

your luggage unattended.

You've got a real talent for languages.

Indeed.

Are you good with French as well?

Sorry?

Excuse me, do you work here?

I do.

This film. Love In The Spanish War,

what's that about?

It's a love story set in

the times of the Spanish War.

Right.

[intercom] Don't miss

out on new releases

and buy your tickets online.

I'll cover your break in a few minutes,

I've just got to take this to projection.

I'll do it.

You sure?

Yeah, I haven't been to

projection before, so...

Okay.

Okay.

Level 4.

I know.

Excuse me, The Flying House 3D,

is that a 3D film?

Hi.

Hey.

I have a parcel for you.

You can just leave

it on the table please.

Okay.

So you're Jason, yeah?

You're Michelle.

Yeah, how did you know that?

You've got a name badge on.

I do.

I guess you're the first person to see

these new films, is that cool?

Not really.

We show a lot of rubbish

films, didn't you notice?

No actually, I've only

been here a couple weeks.

Oh, well welcome to Hell.
