Quotes21

  • George: That's not your grandfather!
  • Paul: It is, you know.
  • George: But I've seen your grandfather! He lives in your house!
  • Paul: Oh, that's my other grandfather, but he's my grandfather, as well.
  • John: How do you reckon that one out?
  • Paul: Well, everyone's entitled to two, aren't they?
  • Reporter: Do you often see your father?
  • Paul: No, actually, we're just good friends.
  • George: [as TV Director walks away with PA] There he goes. Look at him. Bet his wife doesn't know about her.
  • John: If he's got one. Look at his sweater.
  • Paul: You never know, she might have knitted it.
  • John: She knitted him.
  • John: Hey, look at the talent. Let's give them a pull.
  • Paul: Should I?
  • George: Aye, but don't rush. None of your five-bar gate jumps and over sort of stuff.
  • Paul: What's that supposed to mean?
  • George: I don't know, I just thought it sounded distinguished-like.
  • John: George Harrison, the Scouse of distinction!
  • Grandfather: Hullo.
  • John: He can talk then, can he?
  • Paul: 'Course he can talk. He's a human being, isn't he?
  • Ringo: Well, if he's your grandfather, who knows! Ha ha ha!
  • Ringo: [referring to half-dressed room-service waiter hiding in the wardrobe] Any of you lot put a man in the cupboard?
  • George: Nah!
  • Paul: Don't be soft!
  • Ringo: Well, someone did.
  • George: [George gets up, walks over, looks in the cupboard, then sits back down]
  • George: He's right, you know
  • John: There you go.
  • [the boys are listening to the radio]
  • Man on Train: And we'll have that thing off as well, thank you.
  • Ringo: But...
  • Man on Train: An elementary knowledge of the Railway Acts would tell you that I'm perfectly within my rights.
  • Paul: Yeah, but we want to hear it, and there's more of us than you. We're a community, like, a majority vote. Up the workers and all that stuff!
  • Man on Train: Then I suggest you take that damned thing to the corridor or some other part of the train where you obviously belong.
  • John: [Leaning over to the man] Give us a kiss.
  • [repeated line about Grandfather]
  • Paul: He's very clean.
  • Ringo: I don't snore.
  • George: You do, repeatedly.
  • Ringo: Do I snore, John?
  • John: Yeah, you're a window-rattler, son.
  • Ringo: That's just your opinion. Do I snore, Paul?
  • Paul: With a trombone hooter like yours, it would be unnatural if you didn't.
  • Grandfather: Now, Paulie... don't mock the afflicted.
  • Paul: Ah, come off it, it's only a joke!
  • Grandfather: Aye, it may be a joke to you, but it's his nose. He can't help having a hideous great hooter! And his poor little head, trembling under the weight of it!
  • John: We've broken out! Ah, the blessed freedom of it all! Have you got a nail file? These handcuffs are killin' me! I was framed, I'm innocent, I don't want to go!
  • Paul: Sorry for disturbing you, girls!
  • John: I betcha can't guess what I was in for!
  • [laughs psychotically]
  • [Paul, John and George come out of the studio, looking for Ringo]
  • Paul: Let's split up and look for him!
  • [Paul walks away, George and John follow him. Paul turns around]
  • John: We've become a limited company.
  • Man On Train: I shall call the guard!
  • Paul: Ah, but what? They don't take kindly to insults, you know. Let's go have some coffee and leave the kennel to Lassie!
  • Norm: Now you've got about an hour, but don't leave the theater. Where are you going, John?
  • John: [with a dancing girl] She's gonna show me her stamp collection.
  • Paul: [also with a girl] So's mine.
  • Norm: John, I'm talking to you! This final run-through is important, understand? IMPORTANT!
  • [John snorts like a pig, then leaves]
  • Grandfather: I want a cup of tea!
  • Norm: Uh, Shake?
  • Shake: [reaching for a guitar] Um... I've got to adjust the decibels on the imbalance, Norm.
  • Norm: Clever. George?
  • [George puts his fingers in his ears]
  • Norm: Ringo, look after him, will you?
  • Ringo: Ah, Norm!
  • Norm: Do I have to raise my voice?
  • Ringo: All right. Come on, Granddad.
  • [mumbling]
  • Ringo: I'm a drummer, not a wet nurse, you know?
  • Norm: [sees Paul's grandfather for the first time] Hey!
  • George, Paul, John, Ringo: [in unison] Who's that little old man?
  • Norm: Well, who is he?
  • Ringo: He belongs to Paul.
  • Paul: Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt... Zap!
  • Ringo: It's the Circle Club.
  • Paul: [reads aloud the invite] "The management of the Circle Club takes pleasure in requesting the company of Mr. Richard Starkey--that's you--to their gaming rooms. Chemin de Fer, Baccarat, and Champagne Buffet".
  • [He pronounces it like it's spelled]
  • Ringo: They want me.
  • John: It's gotten around you're a big spender.
  • Norm: [snatches the card from Paul] Well, you're not going.
  • Ringo: Aww!
  • Grandfather: [snatches the card from Norm] Quite right. Invites to gambling dens full of easy money and fast women. Chicken sandwiches and carts full of caviar. Disgusting!
  • Ringo: That's mine!
  • Paul: Yeah, where's the old mixer?
  • Grandfather: Here, Paulie.
  • Paul: I've got a few words to say to you, two-faced John McCartney.
  • John: Oh, leave him alone. He's back, isn't he? He can't help being old.
  • Paul: What's being old got to do with it? He's a trouble-maker and a mixer, that's good enough for me!
  • Norm: Hey! Have you seen Paul's grandfather?
  • John: Of course. He's concealed about my person.
  • Norm: [rolls his eyes] Now, he must have slipped off somewhere!
  • Paul: Have you lost him?
  • Norm: Don't exaggerate.
  • Paul: You've lost him!
  • Shake: Put it this way, Paulie: he's mislaid him.
  • John: [to Grandfather as he sulks] Don't worry son, we'll get you the best lawyer green stamps can buy.
  • Paul: Oh ho, it's a laugh a line with Lennon!
  • Paul: Anyway, it's your fault.
  • [points to Ringo]
  • Ringo: Why me?
  • George: Why not you?
  • [pause, he looks around baggage holding, pats the dog next to him]
  • John: God, it's depressing in here, isn't it? Funny. They usually reckon dogs more than people in England. You'd expect something more palatial.
  • [turns back to Paul]
  • John: Let's do something, then.
  • Paul: Like what?
  • [John takes out a pack of cards]
  • Paul: OK.
  • George: [as the schoolgirls arrive to watch] Cor, there's the girls.
  • Ringo: I'll deal 'em.
  • John: [Ringo separates the cards into two even piles and simply flicks through them] Aye aye, the Liverpool Shuffle.
  • Ringo: [after montage of them playing with "I Should Have Known Better" in background, Ringo has won] Mine, all mine!
  • John: He's wearing his lucky rings.
  • John: And we're looking after him, are we?
  • Grandfather: I'll look after myself.
  • Paul: Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
  • John: He's got you worried, then?
  • Paul: Him? He's a villain, a real mixer. And he costs you a fortune in Breach of Promise cases.
