Self
- Albert Grossman: They've started calling you an anarchist.
- Bob Dylan: Who?
- Albert Grossman: The papers. That's the word now.
- Bob Dylan: Anarchist?
- Albert Grossman: Right. Yeah.
- Bob Dylan: The newspaper's say I'm an anarchist?
- Albert Grossman: Two or three. Just because you don't offer any solutions.
- Bob Dylan: You're kidding!
- Albert Grossman: Of course.
- Bob Dylan: Anarchist? Huh? Give me a cigarette. Give the anarchist a cigarette. Anarchist? A singer such as I.
- Bob Dylan: You know the audience that subscribe to TIME Magazine, the audience of people that want to know what's happening in the world week by week, the people that work during the day and can read it, its small, alright and it's concise and there's pictures in it, you know? It's a certain class of people, its a class of people that take the magazine seriously, I mean sure I can read it, you know, I read it , I get it on the airplanes but I don't take it seriously. If I want to find out anything, I'm not gunna read TIME magazine, I'm not gunna read Newsweek, I'm not gunna read any of these magazines, I mean cause they just got to much to lose by printing the truth. You know that.
- Journalist: What is your real message?
- Bob Dylan: My real message? Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb.
- Fan: I just don't like any of the "Subterranean Homesick Blues" stuff.
- Bob Dylan: Oh, you're that kind - I understand, right now.
- Fan: It's not you. It doesn't sound like you at all!
- Bob Dylan: But, my friends, my friends were playing with me on that song. You know, I have to give some work to my friends too. I mean, you don't mind that, right? Huh? You don't mind them playing with me if they play the guitar and drums and all that stuff, right?
- Fan: It just doesn't sound like you at all. It sounds like you're having a good ole laugh.
- Bob Dylan: Well, don't you like to have a good ole laugh once in awhile? Isn't that all right with you?
- Journalist: You sound angry in your songs. I mean, are you protesting against certain things that you're angry about?
- Bob Dylan: I'm not angry. I'm delightful.
- Bob Dylan: All right. I don't care who did it. If you know who did it, you just better tell whoever did it, to get out there and tell the cats that come up here to ask who did it, tell 'em who it was. I'm not taking no fucking responsibility for cats I don't know, man! I got enough responsibility with my friends and my own people!
- Journalist 1: Do you think that a lot of the young people, who buy your records ,understand a single word of what you're singing?
- Bob Dylan: Sure.
- Journalist 1: You reckon they do?
- Bob Dylan: Sure.
- Journalist 2: Why do you say they do? How do can you be so sure?
- Journalist 1: They're quite complicated songs, aren't they?
- Bob Dylan: Yeah, but they can understand them.
- Journalist 1: How do you know they understand them? Have they told you that they do?
- Bob Dylan: They told me. Haven't you ever heard that song?
- [sings]
- Bob Dylan: She said so.
- Bob Dylan: Either be groovy or leave, man. You don't have to be goovy for me. Just be groovy for anybody who you want to be groovy for.
- Donovan: [singing] When the night has left you cold and feeling sad, I will show you that it cannot be so bad, Forget the one who went and made you cry. I'll sing a song for you, That's what I'm here to do, To sing for you.
- Bob Dylan: Hey, that's a good song, man.
- Donovan: [singing] When you feel you just can't make it anymore, With your head bowed down and you're staring at the floor, Search out to me with your weary eyes, I'll sing a song for you...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last, But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast, Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun, Look out, the saints are coming through, And it's all over now, baby blue...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] Some of the people can be half right part of the time, All of the people can be part right some of the time, Half the people can be part right all of the time, But, all of the people can't be all right all of the time, T.S. Elliot said that, I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in your dream, I said that.
- Journalist: Do you care about what you're saying?
- Bob Dylan: How could I answer that if you've got the nerve to ask me? You've a lot of nerve asking me a question like that. Do you ask The Beatles that?
- Bob Dylan: Do you think that anybody that comes to see me is coming for any other reason except for entertainment? Really?
- Bob Dylan: I'm just as good a singer as Caruso. Have you heard me sing? Have you ever heard me sing?
- Journalist: I like Caruso better.
- Bob Dylan: Ah, well, you see right there, now. Right there we have a little disagreement. I happen to be just as good as him. A good singer. You have to listen closely. But, I hit all those notes.
- Bob Dylan: [singing] I ain't lookin' to compete with you, Beat or cheat or mistreat you, Simplify you, classify you, Deny, defy or crucify you, All I really want to doooooooooo, Is, baby, be friends with you...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks, And the hoofbeats pound in his brain...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] Come gather 'round, people, Wherever you roam, And admit that the waters, Around you have grown, And accept it that soon, You'll be drenched to the bone, If your time to you is worth savin', And you better start swimmin', Or you'll sink like a stone, For the times they are a-changin'...
