The Bookseller
The Bookseller has run his shop for an age, perhaps he's been there for hundreds of years. He appears ancient, stern and tired, stooped by the ignorance of endless customers. He speaks in a typically English manner, as if a Professor lecturing the world. The Bookseller shows an utter love of books and knowledge but also a disgust at those who wish to abuse his love and an endless exhaustion with his chosen role in the world. His disgust at the ignorant customers should be humorous.

The Assistant
The Assistant is Igor to the Bookseller's Frankenstein. Once a customer to the shop, The Bookseller conducted a few experiments on his brain, rendering him lobotomised, mute and loyal. A hulking mass, the Assistant is a mute character but nonetheless crucial to the comedy of the film.

Mr. Vanity

Mr. Vanity dons the classic navy blazer, white cotton trousers, cravat, tan, slick-backed hair and shiny rings look. Brash and obnoxious.

Mr. Conceit
Mr. Conceit is the second customer to enter the shop, a larger role than Mr. Vanity. He seeks a manuscript written by Freud himself, much to the Bookseller's annoyance though finds himself unable to read the German and is thus tortured by the Bookseller. An irritating lecturer type, difficult for him to accept any opinion other than his own.
