[cut to a shot of the clock on the wall (showing 3:18), then to an over-the-shoulder shot of the librarian's computer (showing "Your mattress will be delivered between 2pm - 4pm today" and "Mattress 'Billy' ultra soft silk 1 x 299 $")]"
[the librarian looks at her wristwatch, then cut to her standing on the second floor and looking out at the library while sighing deeply]
[cut to a closeup of the librarian's face, as she leans up against a bookshelf and begins lip-synching the song "Out of the Game" (as Rufus Wainwright's voice can be heard)]
LIBRARIAN: I'm out of the game ...
[cut to the librarian walking through the library, still "singing"]
LIBRARIAN: I've been out for a long time now ...

LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Can't be found on the main drag, no!
[cut to various shots of the librarian as she continues "singing"]
LIBRARIAN: Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you, suckers!
[cut to a shot of the three patrons suddenly on stage singing the word "Suckers!", then back to the librarian as leans up against the bookshelf and slides down to the floor]
LIBRARIAN: Does your mama know what you're doin'?
[cut back to the patrons singing on stage]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you ...
[cut back to the librarian, as she looks up]
LIBRARIAN: Suckers!

LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Does your mama know what you're doin'?
[cut back to the sleeping male patron, who is now awake and reading a book (holding it upside down) entitled "Zen and the Art of Car Mechanics"]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] You're only a child ...
[he takes out a cigarette, then cut back to the librarian]
LIBRARIAN: With the mind of a senile man!
[cut to the librarian walking up to the patron and taking the cigarette out of his hand]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] You're only a young thing ...
[cut back to the patrons singing on stage]
CHORUS: Young thing!
[cut back to the librarian, as she crumples the cigarette in her hand and then drops it on the floor]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] 'Bout to sleep with a sea of men!
[she turns and leaves, then cut back to her standing on the second floor]
LIBRARIAN: Just hangin' around ...
[cut to the librarian standing over the female patron passed out on the photocopy machine (as the flask drips liquid onto the floor), but she just sighs and walks off]

LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Makin' all of the thin cards fall.
[cut to the librarian and the patron standing face to face, when she suddenly slaps him]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you suckers!
[cut back to the patrons singing]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Does your mama know what you're doin'?
[cut to the librarian standing by herself, burying her face in her hands, then back to the patrons singing]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you suckers!
[cut back to the librarian leaning up against the bookshelf, as she slides down to the floor, then to a closeup of the wall clock (now reading 3:49)]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Does your mama know what you're doin'?
[cut to the librarian walking through the fire exit and standing outside, as she checks her wristwatch and unbuttons the collar of her blouse ... she has a pensive look on her face, but then sees two deliverymen with a parked van outside of the library]
[cut to the librarian lying down across three chairs, with a smile on her face]
LIBRARIAN: Say, come over here ...
[cut to the librarian leaning up against a wooden fence, as the deliverymen carries the mattress in front of the camera]
LIBRARIAN: Let me smell you for one last time ...
[cut to the librarian back inside, as she argues with the deliverymen about where to put the mattress]
LIBRARIAN: Before you go out there ...
[cut back to the patrons singing]
CHORUS: Out there!
[cut back to the librarian talking with the deliverymen about where the mattress should go]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] And ruin all of the world, once mine!
[cut to the librarian back on the second floor]
LIBRARIAN: And I'm out of the game!
[cut to the deliverymen leaving, as the librarian stares off-camera (as if inspecting the unseen mattress) before smiling]
LIBRARIAN: I've been out for a long time now ...
[cut to a closeup of the wall clock (which now reads 4:00)]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] I'm lookin' for something, that can't be found on the main drag, no!
[cut to a closeup of the mattress, as the three patrons are writhing around on top of it (with the two male patrons kissing each other]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you ...
[cut back to the librarian on the second floor, as she yells down at them]
LIBRARIAN: Suckers!
[cut to the librarian leaning up against the bookshelf, as she slides down to the ground?
LIBRARIAN: Does your mama know what you're doin'?
[cut to various shots of the patrons (both on stage singing and on the mattress having their three-way)]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you, suckers!
[cut to the librarian on the second floor, as she closes her eyes and crosses herself]
LIBRARIAN: Does your mama know ...
[cut to various shots of the librarian and the patrons]
LIBRARIAN: [in voice over] What you're doin'?
[cut back to the mattress, as the patrons part to reveal a woman in a black nightie reading Anthony Trollope's "The Way We Live Now" ... the camera pans up to show it is the librarian (without glasses and her hair all messed up) as the scene fades to black]

Helena Bonham Carter's Librarian Shushes Rufus Wainwright In His New Video
It's refreshing to see that even as we plunge headlong into the Kindle age, the Librarian still remains a vibrant cultural archetype. When all the physical books are gone, so are they, but for now at least, their spirit is alive and well in Rufus Wainwright's latest video.
For the title song on his impending seventh studio album, Wainwright has recruited his longtime pal, actress Helena Bonham Carter, to play a buttoned-up keeper of books, at war with her own urges. The video, directed by Philip Andelman, follows Bonham Carter's sensibly dressed lady around as she lip-syncs Wainwright's '70s AM radio-sounding anthem and disciplines various library patrons. The twist is that these patrons are all played by Wainwright himself (including one who sports a John Waters-style 'stache.)
Bonham Carter's high-strung librarian becomes increasingly agitated as the day wears on, and it's clear that she's waiting for… something. It's probably best not to give away the ending, but it will suffice to say that at one point a mattress is delivered to the library. As they are sometimes.

Rufus Wainwright, 'Out Of The Game': New Video Stars Helena Bonham Carter As Naughty Librarian
The Huffington Post | By Crystal Bell Posted: 04/ 3/2012 9:26 am Updated: 04/ 3/2012 3:32 pm
Rufus Wainwright has teamed up with Helena Bonham Carter in the music video for his latest single "Out of the Game," off his upcoming album of the same name.
The actress, showing off her impeccable lip-syncing skills, plays a straight-laced librarian driven into a lustful frenzy by Wainwright's multiple impassioned personas. Needless to say, the two behave very badly in the stacks.
Explaining the video, Wainwright recently told The Sun, "It features the two of us being naughty in the library."
"We have been friends for years," he added. "Not only is she very beautiful, very glamorous, but she is also incredibly funny. At the end of the video, she is basically wearing a bra. So I very much appreciate her friendship for furthering my career."
Bonham Carter wasn't the only one of Wainwright's friends to help further his career. "Out of the Game" -- among other tracks off the album -- was produced by British hit-maker Mark Ronson, and in an interview with Music Week, Wainwright opened up about working with Ronson on his "most pop album to date," saying, "We kind of fell in love with each other."
"There's a real attraction between Mark and I, which is a little harder for me being gay," Wainwright said. "I have to battle with it. Whether it's the Beatles or the Stones or Eurhythmics, there's an unrequited sexual, romantic energy in the studio -- and it becomes volatile if not dealt with."
Out Of The Game, Wainwright's seventh studio album, hits shelves on May 1.
