Girls Who Read

    "So, what do you go for in a girl?"
  • 0:07 - 0:13
    He crows lifting the lager to his lips he gestures
    where his mate sits, then downs his glass.
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    "He prefers tits
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    I prefer ass.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    What do you go for in a girl?
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    Well, I feel quite unconfortable.
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    The air left room long time ago.
    All eyes are on me.
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    Umm, if you must know,
    I'd like a girl who..
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    ..reads.
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    Yeah. Reads. And I am not
    trying to call you chauvinist,
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    because I know you are not alone in this.
    But I'd like a girl who reads.
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    Who needs the written word and
    who uses the added vocabulary,
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    she gleans from novels and poetry
    to hold lively conversation
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    in a range of social situations.
    I wanna girl who reads.
  • 0:52 - 0:57
    Who's heart bleeds at words of Graham
    Greene or even heat magazine.
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    Who ties back her hair while
    she is reading Jane Eyre.
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    Who goes cover to cover with each,
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    waterstones 3 for 2 offer.
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    But I don't want to stop
    there I wanna girl who reads
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    Girl who feeds her addiction for
    fiction with unusual poems and plays
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    That she hunts out in crooked
    bookshops for days and days and days.
  • 1:14 - 1:18
    She will sit addicted at breakfast
    soaking up back of a cornflakes box.
  • 1:18 - 1:22
    And the info she gets from what
    she reads makes her a total fox.
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    Because she is interesting and she is
    unique and theories make me go weak
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    at the knees, I wanna girl who reads.
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    A girl who's eyes will analyse
    the menu over dinner.
  • 1:32 - 1:36
    Use what she learns to kick my ass in
    arguments so she always ends the winner.
  • 1:36 - 1:40
    But she'd be still sweet and she'd be
    flirty because she loves the classics.
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    And they are pretty dirty. And that means late at
    night she will always have me in a stupor
  • 1:44 - 1:51
    as we reenact the raunchier bits from the works
    of Jilly Cooper. See, some guys prefer asses.
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    Some prefer tits and I am not
    saying I don't like those bits,
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    but is more important what supercedes.
  • 2:01 - 2:05
    Is it girl with passion, wit and dreams.
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    So, I would like a
    girl who reads.
  • 2:16 - 2:23
    See description for more details :]
