I wouldn't do anything
to jeopardize that.
If there's no Shaughnessy Library,
then I don't have a job.
I've got to try to save this.
you how wrong you are.
Trust me, I've thought about this
and this is a very good idea.
Hold on a second...
We don't start bull-dozing
until the new year.
At least you have Christmas.
How very generous of
you, Ebenezer Scrooge.
You know, maybe when
of your gold coins, you can come down
to the library on Christmas Eve.
That's when we distribute all of
the toys that have been donated.
The fire department
You can see firsthand
how important we are
to this community.
And witness the joy on
the children's faces.
And then crush all of their
dreams when you announce
your great plan to
demolish their sanctuary
of imagination, knowledge and art.
For a condo.
Goodnight.
SLAM!
Ugh!
Sigh
just this archaic old building
filled with recyclable papers,
and I bet, he doesn't even recycle.
The problem is he never really
spent a lot of time here.
Or, in the neighborhood for that matter.
Yeah.
Private school.
The point is he doesn't
know what this building means
to an entire generation of people.
I mean, everything I know about art
and literature and

and most kids these days
haven't even heard of an encyclopedia,
much less opened one.
And with Google, why should they?
Okay, the internet can add to the mix,
but you're never going to be able
I mean...
You need to be able to see
and touch and hold and even
smell a book to get the
whole reading experience.
Too bad you can't convince
Tony Shaughnessy of that.
I know.
I still can't believe his grandmother
would let him tear it down.
She used to love this place.
Well, of course I'll miss it.
Not just the apartment,
but the whole neighborhood.
And you're just going to give
it up for a warmer climate?
I didn't come to this
easily, but you know,
I wake up every day and I look
for the sun dancing on the ceiling.
The neighbor's cat on the windowsill,
and that smiling face in the kitchen.
And Christmas' in Galway.
You know, when I was a young girl.
And they've all gone.
Everything just gets lost to time.
And anyway, the future
belongs to the next generation.
But you and your husband
created this neighborhood.
I mean, you have a legacy.
There's not many
people who can say that.
You know, it was my idea to convert
