I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Script - Dialogue Transcript
Voila! Finally, the I Wanna Hold Your Hand
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Robert Zemeckis
Beatles-themed movie. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of I Wanna Hold Your Hand. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.
Hey. Mr. Sullivan.
Now, I know a lot of you are wondering
about tomorrow night's show.
Just who are these
youngsters from Liverpool
who call themselves the Beatles?
Just what can we expect?
Well, let me put it in perspective for you.
Now, here a few years ago,
we had a young vocalist up on our stage
by the name of Elvis Presley.
He, a few of you may remember...
He caused quite a sensational reaction...
among the youngsters
in our studio audience.
Well, tomorrow night,
right here on our stage,
we're gonna have
Elvis Presley times four!
I don't get paid enough for...
All right. Simmer down.
Simmer down, simmer down.
All right. A few weeks ago
I went to England, and I saw
these four youngsters perform.
Both Sylvia and I agreed that
what they do to an audience
is truly remarkable.
So, I want you to be prepared for...
excessive screaming, hysteria,
hyperventilation, fainting,
fits, seizures, spasmodic convulsions,
even attempted suicides...
all perfectly normal.
It merely means that these youngsters
are enjoying themselves.
Now, I want you to remember
that tomorrow night...
we're going out live, coast to coast,
to million viewers
in the United States and Canada.
So remember, nothing must interfere
with our really big "shoe. "
Oh, yeah, I'll tell you something I think you'll understand When I say that something I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand Oh, please, say to me You'll let me be your man And please, say to me You'll let me hold your hand Now let me hold your hand I want to hold your hand And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide, I can't hide I can't hide Yeah, you got that something I think you'll understand When I say that something I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide I can't hide, I can't hide Yeah, you got that something I think you'll understand When I feel that something I want to hold your hand
I want hold your hand
Rosie, I don't know why you're
dragging me in here. I can't be
spending any money on Beatle records.
Hey, listen. Stereo.
Rosie, are you listening to me?
Come on, Pam.
Rosie!
All right, baby, this is
Murray the "K"with the number one song...
Rosie, wait a minute.Excuse me.
Rosie, did you hear what I said?
I've gotta start saving my money
for more important things.
I mean, for God's sakes,
tomorrow night I'm getting...
you know...
All right, I'll buy it for you
as an elopement present.
Shh!
Do you wanna tell the whole world?
Anyway, if you're gonna get me something,
get me something practical
that I can use, like Tupperware.
Aah! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
It's Paul! Oh, I'm gonna die!- Oh, my God! It's Paul! It's Paul!
- Rosie...- Oh, I'm gonna die right here!
He's so cute, so sexy!- He's cardboard.
- I know you never Even try, girl Yeah. Yeah, well, I know it is.Yeah.
The Beatles are fakes!
It's all a plot...
a plot to make you waste your money!
Don't fall for It!
Herb, lemme... lemme
call you back later, huh?
It's a gimmick!
Oh, you don't really wanna buy these albums.
You only think that you do.
Punch her out!
Rosie, you're not
buying another one.
It's not for me. It's for Pam.
Just to give away
two tickets to The Ed Sullivan Show.
Did you hear me, baby?
If you can answer this question:
What's Ringo Starr's real name?
Are you listening to me?
Did you hear what I said?
Ohh!
Please please me, whoa, yeah Like I please you
And right now...Janis, what are you doing?
You are picketing in my store.
You are driving my customers away.
Why?
All I see around this store
is Beatle albums.
What about Bob Dylan? Joan Baez?
How come they don't get
equal floor space?
The Beatles sell.
"Jane" Baez doesn't sell.
I deserve a little more respect
from my own daughter.
You are embarrassing me.
I'm embarrassing you?
I feel like I'm talking
to a walking publicity stunt.
Hey, Janis!
Janis, have you seen Rosie?Hey, just a reminder...
Rosie.
Rosie, that's your th busy signal!
You're not gonna get through!
Rosie!
Rosie, I got somethin' to tell ya,
but I want you to promise me
that you're not gonna scream...
and you're not gonna yell
and you're not gonna faint.Oh, my God, Grace. What?
You promise?
I figured out a way
to get into the Beatles' hotel.
Damn, Rosie! Control yourself!
There's still a hitch.
We gotta raise $ .
Twenty-three dollars?
See, we have to hire a limo.
A limousine.
It's the only thing that can pull up
to the front of the Beatles' hotel
without getting stopped by cops.
How much money you got?
Uhh, I got three dollars
worth of dimes.
That's not enough, Rosie. Damn!
But it's enough to hire a cab.
We could drive up in a cab!
No, I already found out.
The cops are checkin' the cabs.
See, we need a limo,
and we need it tonight.
I mean, I got a deadline to meet.
Yeah.
Tonight?
We can't go tonight.
Aren't you guys forgetting
about something?
Aren't you forgetting
about this?
Oh, yeah. That.
This is my last night as a single woman.
We were gonna do something special.
We were supposed to spend
the night at Rosie's, and it was gonna
be like my shower or something.
Oh, hey, Pam, what could be better
than for all of us to drive up
to the Beatles' hotel together...
and see the Beatles in person?
Yeah! Right, Pam.
How much money you got?
I'm about to be a married woman.
I can't go chasing after the Beatles,
and...
and it's not fair to Eddie.
Pam, I want you
to know something.
You don't seem to understand
how important this is to me.
I mean... I mean, I have got
to get through to the Beatles.
My entire career depends on it.
If I could get exclusive pictures of the Beatles,
I mean, they'd run my story on
the front page of The Suburban!I mean, I might even be able to sell it
to Life magazine or something.
Can you imagine that?
Jesus Christ.
Gonna suffocate in here.
Hey, Janis.
Hey, Janis, you got any money?
What do you want money for?
Don't worry.
It's for a good cause.
Grace, there's Larry Dubois.
So what?
So don't you know
who Larry Dubois is?
Yes, I do. He's the boy
that threw up in biology.
His father's got lots of limousines.
He's an undertaker.
Hi, Larry. I didn't know
you played a musical instrument.
Yeah.
You're so musical.
This is ridiculous.
He'll never do it.
Uh, Larry, are you busy tonight?
I don't know.
He'll do it.
Oh, oh
Ohh!
I just ran over a casket.
What was it doing out
with the garbage?
Is that where it was?
Uh-huh.
Ooh, sh... Oh, it's okay. It's one of those
discontinued models my father's throwin' out.
You know, nobody was in it,
so the garbage man'll come
and pick it up.
Jesus, Larry, didn't you
even take driver's ed,
for goodness sakes?
I told you I didn't have
a driver's license.
All's I got is a permit.
Look, Grace, we just better
turn around right now.
It's against the law to drive
with a permit unless there is
a licensed driver in the car.
I've got a license, Pamela.
You do? But, Grace, I thought
your birthday wasn't until...
You know, I don't have
any insurance either.
Relax, Larry.
Look, I have absolute confidence
in your ability to handle machinery.
Any kind of machinery.
I mean, I've seen you threading up
those projectors in the A.V. Room.
You're just the best.
Yeah, I'm pretty good
on those Bell & Howells.
Yeah.
Rosie, are we gonna have
to listen to the Beatles
all the way to the city?
You know, I swear, Janis.
Every time something popular comes along,
you automatically think they can't be any good.
- I don't know why we let her
come in the first place.
- She's helping to pay for the gas, Rosie.
Besides, someone's gotta
be there to speak the truth.
Say, Rosie, what do you
think of my new sign?
I think it's disgusting.
Who do you think's gonna
look at that anyways?
- The press, Rosie, the press.
- Hey, Larry, you like the Beatles, don't you?
- Yeah, they're all right. They got a good beat.
- Oh, they're the greatest!
- I mean, gearest. Here, have a jelly baby.
- A what?
Ajelly baby. You know, jelly beans.
They call 'em jelly babies in England.
It's the Beatles'favorite food.You know what their favorite drink is?
Coke, with a little bit of scotch.What am I doing here?
Eddie is gonna kill me. He's gonna kill me.
Eddie hates the Beatles.
He's gonna think I'm immature.
I just know it.
Do we have to hear about Eddie
all the way into the city?
Pam, can I see your ring, please?
Just for a minute?
Well, all right,
but be careful with it.
Why do you keep it in your boobs for, Pam?
You're gonna lose it that way.
Do you want my mother to see it?Pam, you're so lucky.
Yeah, I guess.No, I mean it.
I'll probably never get one of these.
Oh, don't be silly, Rosie. It's no big deal.
Yeah. Well, there's really only one guy
I wanna marry anyways... Paul.
- Paul? Paul who?
- Never mind. You don't know him.
Larry, I think we're being followed.
Oh, God! Not the cops!
- Relax!
- It's Tony Smerko!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna hold your glands
Hey, Janis, how do
you like my hairdo?
Oh, it's really fab!
It makes you look like Paul!
Oh, you like it? You got it!
Hey, where you guys goin'?
Oh, we're gonna
go see the Beatles!
The Beatles? Aw, the Beatles
are a bunch of crap. Hey, Janis,
why don't you come with us?
We got a whole case
of Miller's High Life here,
the champagne of bottled beers!
What do you say, gorgeous?
Here, open this one.
Aww, come on.
Janis! Hey!
Hey, pull up! A little closer.
Pull it closer. Pull it closer!
Hey, Dubois, how ya doin'?
Pull it close. Pull it closer here!
Are you crazy?
Hey, you don't mind if I...
if I come along with you, now, do you?
Oh, I don't know, Tony.
I haven't got no insurance or nothin'.
Aw, that's okay. Neither do I!
I've been told when a boy kiss a girl What are you doin'?

Everybody's in one piece. Huh!
Hmm.
Ohh! Oh-ho!
Want a swig of this stuff?
Say, what is that?
Let me see this.
What do you got?
"Beatles"... What does this say?
"Beatles undermine artistic"...
Integrity!
I never would've figured
on you for a Beatles fan.
I loathe the Beatles.
Not me. I hate 'em. Uuh!
I can't stand their music.
- Hey, Dubois, get up.
- What?
I think you're sittin'
on my comb.
Got it, Tony?
Yeah, thanks.
Easy.
Ooh, hoo-hoo!
Say, you got some collection here.

Tuesday Weld, Jackie... Jackie Kennedy?

Fastest hands in the West.
Yeah, well, you give me back...
Look. Now, look, no more screwin' around
here, Smerko! We have serious business
to take care of in New York!
- Hey, well, I'm a serious guy.
- Right. Well, you just keep
your hands off of Dubois.
- Hey, me and Dubois are old pals,
ain't we, Dubois?
- Yeah.
Hey, Dubois, about what happened
in the cafeteria Friday?
Look, I guess I must've
slipped or somethin'.
Yeah.
Did you get all of the applesauce
outta your hair okay?
No problem, Tony.
- Hey, I'm sick of those limey fairies!
- Come on, Smerko!
- Hey, switch that back!
That was Peter, Paul and Mary!
You and your stupid protest music.
That stuff's boring.
Did you ever listen to the words?
You oughta try listening
to the words sometime.
Did you ever listen to the words
to "Louie, Louie"?
Oh, Smerko, leave me alone!
Hey, who's still up
at this hour? I'm gonna find out by givin'away
two Sullivan show tickets...
to the first caller who can tell me
which Beatle is left handed.
All right...
Oh, my God! I know it!
It's Paul! It's Paul!
I know it! There's a phone booth!
- Stop the car! Stop the car!
Oh, please stop the car! Stop the car!
- Cut it out!
- You either stop the car, or I'll jump out!
- Keep driving, Larry!
Jesus Christ, Dubois!
What the hell are you trying to do,
Rosie, kill yourself?
No, but I know the answer!
It's Paul!
Jesus Christ!
I don't care! It would've worth
killing myself if I could've won!
Now, listen... listen to me!
God, I could...
This is my only chance to get
exclusive pictures of the Beatles,

We don't want you to move.
We want you to stay here.
We like the vibe that you're givin' off.
- But you been yellin' so loud,
- Look!
you broke a couple of windows.
Oh, he's coming!
In here!
The elevator's here.
The elevator's here.
The...
He's gone!
He's gone. Let's go!
- Come on!
- My ring! I lost my ring!
Come on!
How long can she hold the door?
Well, then go without me.
I've gotta find it.
I've got it!
Oh!
What'd you push for?
They're on room .
I know they're in Rosie,
but we've gotta go up to
and walk up the stairs.
That's dumb. If they're on
we should get off on .
Don't be stupid, Rosie.
There's gonna be guards up there on
and they're gonna be watching the elevators.
But this is a service elevator.
Besides, how you know there're
not gonna be guards on ?
If I'm gonna get caught,
I'm gonna get as close to the Beatles as I can.
You wanna go to go to Rosie.
I'm not gonna argue with you.
You're never gonna make it.
We'll see.
- Hey, you! Come on! Let's go! Come on!
- Wait! Let me go!
Come on!
You gotta listen to me!
I can explain! Come on! Listen to me!
Hey, Sarge, I just found
another lost lady.
Okay, Lou.
Take her down the other elevator.
Oh, I can explain.
Really, I can ex...
Don't tell me. Let me guess.
Your grandmother from Alaska's
staying in the hotel, and you got lost
trying to find her. Come on.
Help! Help me!
When Paul finds out about this,
you're gonna be in a lot of trouble!
- Come in, Harry.
- I read you, Sarge.
- What's the situation down there?
- All quiet here.- Okay. We'll be coming down
in a few minutes. I'll check with you later.
- Right. Over.
Hey, Irving.
Check that exit there, will ya?
We got another one, Stanley.
Take her down to the lobby
and turn her over to Sergeant Bailey.
Okay, Lou.
Never in my life have I seen such
a disgusting display of vulgarity...
as I've witnessed in this hotel.
Young girls screaming
and running about... helter-skelter.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
- And as for this hotel, I was not aware
its clientele included such riffraff.
- We apologize for the inconvenience, ma'am.
Well, you can rest assured
that in the future I shall take
my business elsewhere.
Your floor, madam.
You dropped something, ma'am.
- We want the Beatles!
- Okay. Pull right up here.
Right. Hold it! Hold it right there.
That's good.
I'll just get the door.
Yeah, sure.
We want the Beatles!
We want the Beatles!
That's terrific.- We want the Beatles! We want the Beatles!
- Okay, Sarge. You can bring 'em out.- Your snoring.
Sullivan. You do. That's an Irish name.- We got a complaint from
the hotel manager about it.
- You're as bad as the rest of them.- Who orders all this rubbish?
- Nothing better than a scenic back alley,
I always say.Get in the car or I'll cripple you.
Quit shovin' me then.
Hey! The guy just licked my hand!
Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Mmm.
Hey! Don't you know breaking
and entering is very serious offense?
You're making a mistake.
This is my room. I just lost my key.
Oh, . I'm on the wrong floor.
I'm looking for .
My mistake, Officer.
What do you take me for,
some kind of an asshole?
And, little lady,
you have come all the way from...
Hi, Mom!
Buffalo. I stole the money from my mother
so I could come here, because I loveJohn.
Actually, I love all the Beatles,
but I especially loveJohn.
Someday I'm gonna marryJohn.
Isn'tJohn already married?
Yeah, but he can get a divorce
or his wife could get in a plane crash...
or she could drown or anything could happen,
becauseJohn has to marry me!
He has to, or else I'll kill myself!
There you have it,
ladies and gentlemen...
Beatlemania.
This is Sam David reporting from WGSL
in front of the...
Exterminate the Beatles!
Get outta here! Harry, cut it.
Get her out of here.
Why did you shut off that camera?
Turn it back on!
Haven't you ever heard of unbiased reporting?
Yeah, unbiased report!
There are two sides to every story!
There's two sides. Don't you know that?
I don't believe this!
Whatever happened to objective reporting?
Yeah! Whatever happened to that?
You tell me.
What are you beefin' about now?
It doesn't matter.
This is only a local news station.
I know what I have to do now.
I gotta find the national news reporters,
then the whole country
can hear what I have to say.
Talk, talk, talk.
That's all you wanna do is talk.
I want the whole country
to hear what I have to say.
Shit. When does beatin' your gums
ever mean mean anything?
You gotta do something.
Well, I don't see you doing anything
except for following me around.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah!
Oh, you wanna
see me do somethin'?
All ri... Wha...
All right. I'll do somethin'!
Get him!
Look, I'll find my own way out, okay?
Make me happy.
Hey! Hey, you! You're not supposed to be here!
This is a restricted area!
You don't belong here!
Don't you know this entire section
of the hotel's completely sealed off?
Paul! Paul!
You can't get in there.
Besides, I already tried.
Those guys already left.
When?
About five minutes ago.
Ohh!
Well, actually, it was closer
to four minutes ago. Crazy broad.
What? What?
That means they walked on this rug!
Don't jump to conclusions! I'm a collector!
Please, don't get a stain on it!
Oh, Paul! Paul!
- In the name of human decency!
This is valuable merchandise!
- Hey!
Oh! Come on! Run!
What are you doin'to the rug?
Run!
Gangway, copper!
Put me down!
I got friends on the force!
Put me down!

God!
Ooh! Aah!
Take me to the seventh floor!

Right!
Come on! Let's go!
Can't you get these floors lined up?
Come on!

This time I'm puttin' my foot down.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
What's happening?
They stink. They got no talent at all.
They look like a bunch of girls!
Yeah, man, we hate the Beatles, man.
They're foreigners from another country.
They take our women away from us.
Man, send them back! Send 'em back!
Yeah, the Beatles are a bunch of wimps.
Everybody that listens to their music are wimps
too. What're trying to prove with long hair?
You're misunderstanding the whole point.
I don't know what
these chicks see in it either.
It's just a gimmick!
Oh, and another thing, Murray.
WI NS used to be the best radio station
in town until you started playing
all this Beatles junk.
Now that's all I ever hear!
Whatever happened to the Four Seasons?
Yeah!
I ain't never gonna listen to WI NS
again ever. Never gonna, never ever.
All right. Wait a minute.
You know something?
What?
You're a deranged person,
but keep your chin up.
Yeah, Harry, my eyes were bothering me a little
with all the reading I'm doing around here.So I went and I picked up this lamp.
It's a real great lamp. I mean, it's got,
like, three switches on it to make it bright.Great for reading.
Yeah, that's right, Harry.
What do you think...
What the hell's
the matter with you?
Why don't you watch
where you push that thing?
Harry? Hello, Harry?
Stupid kid. He broke my lamp.
Oh, my God!
Oh! Ohh.
Oh, God.
Ohh, God!
I don't believe...
Oh, my God.
Oh. Ohh!
Oh.

A midget Beatle!
Hey! Hey, come on!
Hey, what is it, a boy or a girl?
Hey!
I think it's a girl!
It's doctor's orders!
I'm very susceptible to head colds!
Hey, anybody got a razor blade?
I wanna give Goldilocks here
the Yul Brynner look, huh?
Ooh! All right.
Hey, hey, wait a minute.
I'll make you a deal, I'll make you a deal!
- What?
- I got tickets to The Ed Sullivan Show,
and you can have 'em if you let me go.
Tickets? What the hell do I want tickets?
I don't want any tickets.
Hey, wait a minute!
You can scalp 'em for a lot of money!
Well, I'm gonna scalp you for free!
Oww!
All right, Tony. You've had your fun.
Now let him go.
Hey, remember, I said you gotta
do somethin'. So I'm doin' somethin'.
I ain't just shootin' off at the mouth.
Oww!
You're completely ignoring
the real issue.
You're merely attacking a symptom
instead of going to the real root
of the problem.
I'm gonna get to the roots,
all right, with these!
Uh, hey, Smerko,
here comes a cop.
I should've known this all along.
You ain't nothin' but a Beatles lover.
Here. You take him.
Aah!
Here's some great snapshots I got
when the Beatles arrived at Kennedy Airport.
Oh. Did you get any pictures
of the Beatles?
Yeah, well, I didn't exactly see the Beatles,
but I got some great shots
of their suitcases.
Wow.
You know, you're the first boy
I've ever met that I could really talk to.
I mean, really talk to.
Yeah, well, if you think these are fab,
I'll show you something that's really gear.
Hey, don't they ever
make the beds in here?
Nah. The hotel doesn't know I'm in here.
Then how'd you get this key?
I found it. Someone left it in the door,
and I found it.
Then I took over the room.
The hotel doesn't know I'm here.
If they knew I was here, they'd throw me out.
Now, here. Look at this, look at this,
look at this, look at this, look at this,
look at this, look at this.
Here. This is my masterpiece.
You know what this is?
This is actually a clump of grass
that Paul stepped on.
I'm not exactly sure which blade
he stepped on, but it's all in there.
That's why I got such a big clump.
Oh, wow! Can I have some of this?
What are you, crazy?
Oh, just a little bit!
I'll buy it off of ya.
No. I'm sorry, but it's not for sale.
Say, kid, do you really have
tickets to The Ed Sullivan Show?
Yeah. I sort of lucked into 'em.
My uncle's got connections.
Would you sell one to me?
Uh, no, I couldn't do that.
Heck, you just helped me out
of a real jam.
I'll give you one for free.
It's the least I can do.
Thanks a lot!
That's funny.
I thought I had 'em right there.
I don't even have 'em!
Peter! Hey, Peter!
I got your tickets to The Ed Sullivan Show!
- My tickets! How'd you get those?
- Never mind how I got 'em, but I got 'em!
If you wanna get 'em back, you're gonna
have to get your goddamn hair cut!
Now, I found a barber shop that's open,
so let's go!
You can't do that! It's extortion!
I can do any goddamn thing I want to!
I'm your father!
Sir.
No kid of mine is gonna run around
in the streets looking like a goddamn girl!
Sir.
- Wait a minute, will ya?
- Well, I'm not gonna cut my hair!
And I'm not gonna argue with you! Now,
if you want these tickets back, you're gonna
get your hair cut! Now, you think about it!
I don't have to think about it!
For all I care, you can take those tickets
and shove 'em!
What's your name anyway?
Ringo. Ringo Klaus.
What?
Well, actually it's Richard,
Richard Klaus.
This is my official
Beatles talcum powder.
Anyway, like, Ringo Starr,
you know, he changed his name
from Richard to Ringo?
Well, that's what I did.
My real name's Richard,
and I changed it over to Ringo, see?
You know how the real Ringo has lots of rings?
Well, I got my own ring, too, see?
Just like Ringo.
Good. I know all that stuff.
Listen, I know everything
there is to know about the Beatles.
There's nothin' I don't know about the Beatles!
I'm the greatest Beatles genius
in the history of the universe.
Go ahead, ask me
anything about the Beatles!
Ask me how tallJohn is.
And the answer comeback,
- foot- .
Ask me when George's birthday is.
And the answer comeback,
February .
There's nothin' I don't know about the Beatles!
Ask me anything there is to know
about the Beatles. Ask me anything!
Who is the youngest Beatle?
I know the answer!
Gimme the phone!
Get away! I know it too!
It's my room, and it's my phone!
Hand it over!
Get away! Let me!
It's ringing!
Who's the youngest Beatle?
Ringo!
George!
Aww!
It's Ringo! Ringo, you crackpot!
You... You stupid idiot!
It's George!
Ringo's the oldest!
Ringo's ! George is !
Well, it's a trick question.
George is the youngest in age,
but Ringo was the last to join the Beatles,
therefore he's the youngest Beatle.
See? The question was,
"Who is the youngest Beatle?"
And that means it's Ringo!
See? Aah!
You're an idiot! You're a fink!
You're a lousy rat fink!
And I would've won those tickets!
Aah! Now I got you,
you little shit-head!
Who you callin' little?
Aah! Take that, you copper!
Stay back!
Watch it, he's got a lamp!
And it's lit!
Ai-yaah!
Give up, kid!
You're surrounded!
I'll jump! I swear, I'll jump!
Get off of me! Put me down!
I'll bring a lawsuit!
Stop it! Knock It off!
Quit that kickin', will ya?
Ringo! No-o-o!
Hey! What the hell
do you think you're doin'?
There ain't no cameras allowed in here.
I'm just takin' a couple of pictures.
I'm with the press.
Yeah? And I'm Captain Kangaroo.
Come on! Get the hell outta here!
Please, sir, I've just gotta get some pictures
of the Beatles. I'd do anything to get in here.
Yeah?
Anything.
What's it worth to ya?
Ten bucks.
Ten bucks?
What, are you shittin' me?
I'll tell you what.
Fifty bucks, and you got a deal.
Fifty bucks? Look, I just don't
have that kind of money.
Hey!
You wanna get in and see 'em?
Fifty bucks. You don't like it?
Get the hell outta here!
All right. All right, all right.
I'll find the .
Then what do I do?
Listen, here's what's happenin'.
The Beatles are the last act, right?
All right. You wait till the show starts,
you come to this door
and you knock like this.
I open the door,
you give me the you're in.
Right now, get the hell outta here!
I gotta eat!
Fifty bucks!
Where am I gonna get bucks?
Mmm. Mmm.
Ahh!
Mmm. Mmm.
Is this seat taken?
Say, how's the food around here?
You guys eat here often?
Oh? Well, then, I take it that
you're not from around here, huh?
- Brooklyn.
- No kiddin'? Me, I'm from Jersey.
Hey, hey, way to go!
Nice play, Shakespeare.
Say, you girls ever been on top
of the Empire State Building?
Well, I was thinkin' about goin' up there
later on this afternoon and, uh,
maybe you'd like to join me?
Now, what's the gag?
- She thinks you look like Paul.
- Oh, yeah. Lots of people tell me
I look like Newman.
- Not Paul Newman, Paul McCartney.
- Paul McCart... Never heard of him.
He's one of the Beatles.
Oh, ho!
- What's with you?
You got something against the Beatles?
- Who, me?
Besides the fact that their music stinks,
that I hate their guts...
and they're nothin' but
a bunch of candy-ass pansies?
- No.
- Listen, grease ball.
- Nobody asked you to sit here, so beat it!
- Now, wait a minute.
Everything was going fine,
we were having a nice leisurely lunch
and over a little chat,
and then you had to go mention
the Beatles and make me choke
on my goddamn food!
Let's get outta here.
Yeah.
- Hey, wait a minute!
Now, what about the Empire State Building?
- Why don't you jump off it?
- Hey, you know what I do to Beatles? I stomp...
- Ohh!
Oh!
Oh, wow!
Oh.
Oh.
Ohh!
Oh, my God.
Ohh!
Oh, my God.
Oh, God!
Surfin'U.S.A. Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin'U.S.A. With Murray the "K"
- Hey, baby.
- Swinging Soiree.
- Hey, who's this Johnny Carson that Ed
wants us to dedicate our songs to anyway?- Probably a baseball player.
- No, isn't he the mayor?
I'm really disappointed about that rehearsal.
I mean, I think we sound crappy.
Ah, come off it. All you gotta do is smile,
twinkle in the eye. You'll have 'em all screamin'.
Hey! Well, what do you know?
It's still playin'.
Murray is still talkin'.
Hey, it looks like somebody's
been messing with me bass.
- Yuck! There's sticky stuff all over it.
- Uuh! What'd you do that for?
Why'd you put that picture
of yourself in me closet?
I thought it might brighten up the place.
So that's it then.
Well?
Right here WINS
right after The Ed Sullivan Show.- Will somebody call the porter up here?
I need me trousers cleaned.
- Well, take 'em off then.I mean, you know, he can't clean 'em
with you standin'in 'em.
Good idea.Ohh!
And my stockings...
my official Beatles nylon stockings...
are missing.
Those jerks from the hotel
stole my stuff, and you know why?
They know even half my stuff's
worth $ .
I'll sue 'em. That's what I'll do.
I'll sue 'em.
- I just think we're lucky
they didn't throw us in jail.
- They can't throw us in jail.
We're both under years old. Therefore,
we're both minors. Therefore, they can't
throw us in jail, and that's the law.
And if there's one thing I know,
it's the law. Anyway, I gotta get back
in the hotel and get my stuff back.
I know. I'll steal an elevator.
I'll hijack one like you did.
Rosie, come here!
I gotta tell ya somethin'!
Grace! Grace!
Where have you been? Did you
get pictures of the Beatles?
Grace, you know, it's, uh,
illegal to park here.
We're not parking, Larry.
We're just stopping.
Hey! Where have you been?
Did you get the pictures?
No, not yet. Listen, Rosie. I really
need to borrow some money, okay?
Oh, Grace, no...
I don't have that much left.
What did you spend it on?
On these.
What are these?
Beatles bedsheets.
Beatles bedsheets?
Those are the actual bedsheets
the Beatles slept on Friday night.
Only two bucks per square inch.
You mean you paid two bucks
for this little piece of nothing?
They're worth at least five.
Grace, what time do you think
we'll be going home?
Oh, yeah?
How do you know these
are the real Beatles bedsheets?
The guy said they were authentic.
You can't lie
about a thing like that.
That would be against the law.
Grace, we should
be getting home. I don't wanna
miss The Ed Sullivan Show.
Tell me something. Were there
a lot of kids buyin' these things?
Oh, heck, yeah.
You want me to show you where
the guy is that sold 'em to me?
Here. Take these.
Come on, Larry.
Let's get outta here.
Wait. You gotta take me with you.
I'm the only one who knows
where the guy is that sold me this stuff.
You gotta take me with ya.
What is wrong with you?
Who is this guy, Rosie?
Where'd he come from? Mars?
Oh, this is Richard Klaus.
He's my boyfriend.
Your boyfriend?
Grace, wait.
What about The Ed Sullivan Show?
Well, you'd better find a TV set,
because I still have
to get my pictures.
Your boyfriend? What's the idea
of telling that broad I'm your boyfriend?
I'm not your boyfriend.
But I thought you and me...
Well, we seemed to get along
pretty well and all.
Yeah? I thought
you were in love with Paul.
Well, I am, but it's different
with Paul.
- I mean, Paul... He's a Beatle.
It's just different.
- Yeah. I get it.
You're just like all the rest. You're in love
with the Beatles till somebody better
comes along, huh?
Well, I got news for ya.
Where I come from, they've got a name
for people like you.
You're a traitor, and I don't
associate with traitors, so you can
just quit taggin' along with me.
"Amscray," sister!
I am not a traitor!
I do love Paul!
I'll always love Paul!
I'll never love anybody else, ever!
I love you You know,
you'd make things a lot easier
if you'djust cut your hair.
Hey, wait a minute.
I think I got it.
- Hey!
- Let's get outta here!
Hey, you kids!
Come back!
Come on! This way!
- Come back here!
Come on! Let's get 'em!
You all right?
Security for the Beatles.
This way!At times, the Beatles had to
dress themselves up as the fuzz...- in order to go from place to place without
getting torn to shreds by all those girls.
- Excuse me.
Which way?
Which way did they go?
Down here.
We've got another one
that you haven't heard yet from
that crazy British import album.You're hearing it first with the "K"
in what you call Swinging Soiree.In fact, I think
I'm gonna mail it out to you.
Oh, yeah, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
Hey, Reese,
I got the one with the hair.
Let him go!
He wasn't doing anything.
Grab her too.
You're just picking on him
because he's got long hair.
Shut up.
Let that kid go.
Yeah. Let him go.
- Just because he's got long hair
doesn't mean you can do all that.
- Let go of him!
- Hey, what's going...
- All right! Get back!
Get back! Get back!
Get back in line!
Get back! Get back!
Get back! I'm warning ya.
Now, get back.
Move along.
Get back!
Get that crowd back!
Get back in line.
Get back.
Reese, Foley, let 'em go!
But, Sarge, they were tryin'
to break into the studio.
Goddamn it, I said let 'em go!
I don't want a riot on my hands.
All right. Go on.
Get outta here. Beat it.
Wow. Did you see that?
Do you realize
what just happened here?
Yeah. We almost
just got thrown in jail.
You were right all the time.
The only way we're gettin'
in there is to get my hair cut.
You can't.
What?
You can't cut your hair.
Not now. Not after all this.
I just don't get ya.
I mean, don't you wanna
go and see the show?
Look, all this time I've been wrong
about the Beatles. I'll figure out some
other way to get those tickets back.
What? From my old man?
No way. The only way
you're gonna get those tickets
from him is to take 'em.

For Christ's sakes, Dubois,
what the hell are you doin'?
I'm selling some Beatle bedsheets.
I can see that.
Geez! Is this what it's come to?
You standin' in the street with a handful
of rags like a goddamn beggar?
Ain't you got no self-respect?
Get rid of this shit!
Damn it, Dubois.
How could you let yourself
be pussy-whipped like this?
You know she's made a fool
out of ya. You know that, don't ya?
A damn fool!
Yeah. I was just tryin'
to get pictures for her, Tony.
I mean, she needed pictures...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know it ain't your fault.
It's that... that limey scum.
It's like the whole goddamn world's
flipped or somethin' like that.
You know what happened
to me today? I tried to pick up
seven different chicks. Seven.
And they all gave me shit.
They gave me shit! Now, a week ago,
this couldn't have happened.
I'm fed up, Dubois. I've had it
up to here with this crap.
Something's gotta be done.
Something's gotta be done
to stop it...
I don't know what...
but it's gotta be done now
before it spreads any further.
It's like a goddamn disease,
for Christ's sakes! Do you
understand what I'm saying here?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna get back
to the car, Tony, so...
Yeah. Go ahead.
Go on. I'll... I gotta
think this shit out.

These are fakes.
- Oh, there must be some mistake.
- Damn right. Look at this.
I know for a fact
they didn't use sheets
from J.C. Penney's at that hotel.
I swear to you...
I was told these sheets
are genuine. They really are.
Give us our money back
or we'll beat your brains.
Hey, hey.

Let's... Let's be reasonable.
Listen, pencil neck.
I'll kick your face in.
- Grace, I think they mean it.

Looks like
you're out of business. To you, to you To you Okay. We're still T.C.B.
And takin'care ofbusiness...as we cover
this fabulous Beatle weekend.
And you probably don't hear
as much going on as there was...
not as much shouting...
It's because minutes ago, everybody
that was here with this big crowd left...Because
the Beatles are going over
to The Ed Sullivan Show...
to do their first telecast
in the United States.
And you wanna watch that.
I'm gonna be there myself.
Hey, Grace, did you hear
about the Valentine's Dance
at school Friday night?
I know all about it, Larry.
Why don't you just have a drink,
okay?
I'd better not. I mean,
you know what they say
about drinking and driving.
Frankie? Yeah.
I was thinkin'.
I'm glad I got in touch with ya.
I got a few hours to kill
before I have to go out of town,
and I could use a little companionship,
you know what I mean?
You see, Grace, it's kind ofhard...
Yeah. Is Ginger available?I was sort of thinkin'
about all we've been through together.
How 'bout that redhead? What's her name?Judy. Yeah. Is she... No.
Whatever you think, Frankie. As long as she's
on the young side, you know what I mean?
- A college coed?
- And, well, you'll probably be busy,
so forget it.
- Shh.
Hey, no kiddin'.
Hey, yeah. That's right.
Room .
Mm-hmm. That's great.
Why don't you send her over?
Yeah. How 'bout...
'bout an hour?
Yeah.
Half hour would be better,
Frankie. Yeah.
Thanks, Frankie.
Grace, it's gettin'kind oflate.
Maybe we'd better get goin'.
Larry, how old
do you think I look?
- I don't know.
- I mean, you think I could pass
for a college student?
Sure. Sure.
You get good grades.
Larry, there's something I gotta do.
I want you to meet me back here
in about one hour.
Wait. Where you goin'?
I just thought of something
I could sell.
Why don't you tell me?
Maybe I can sell some too.
I don't think so, Larry.
You just wait for me, okay?
Grace, you can't!
I won't let you do it.
Do what?
You know.
What?
You know.
Larry, I know exactly
what it is I'm doing,
so just relax.
Go back to the table,
finish this up, okay?
Meet me back here soon.
Well, Grace,
think of what you're doing.
I mean, it's... it's a sin.
Ohh.
It'll never come off.
Oh, shit.
Dropped my "pneumonia. "
Hey, wait a minute.
All right.
You stay out here.
Are you crazy?
That guy hates my guts.
He's not gonna do anything...
not for me.
No, but he might do it for me.
Three Beatles took a tour
of Central Park yesterday...
while George stayed in bed
nursing a sore throat.
Reports are that George...
Hey! Hey, what are you doing?
I was watching that.
Sorry about that. It's showtime.
But you don't seem
to understand.
The Ed Sullivan Show
is gonna be on.
Honey, we all got our problems.
When that show goes on in there,
that tube goes off. It's union rules.
Ohh. Well, how long
does this go on?
Midnight.
Want another one?
To hell with it.
I don't wanna hear about it.
Wait! I'll tell ya! Just listen!
This guy is the kid's father.
In his wallet are tickets
to the Beatles show.
That's all we want.
You can have his money.
What did you say?
I said you can
have all his money.
No, no, no, no.
You said something about tickets.
Tickets to The Ed Sullivan Show.
That's all we want.
How many tickets has he got?
Three.
I'll do it,
but I get one of the tickets.
I'm sorry, really I am.
It was just an accident.
I didn't wanna come up here...
and get in trouble
or anything like that.
I didn't even wanna
come here today.
They made me do it.
This is very unlike me.
I mean, I just don't
do things like this,
and it's all
just very confusing for me.
You've gotta
believe me, please.
I believe ya. It's okay. It's okay.
Look, everything's
gonna be all right.
Now, you got somebody
you can call to come
and pick you up?
There's a phone over there.
Why don't you go over
and use it?
Sergeant.
Look at this crap.
Is that the bird
that was under Lennon's bed?
Bird?
Girl.
Girl. Girl. That's her.
Well, I just spoke to Brian.
It's very important we keep her
here for a while, okay?
No sweat.
I beg your pardon?
Uh, no problem.
Hello? Eddie?

I'd get my hair cut, but you don't
expect me to pay for it, do ya?
Okay. And don't forget
to bring the tickets.
It's all set.
Going up?

There's a place
There's a place
Hey, baby, this is the "K."
I'm interrupting my own show to bring you
an important Beatles bulletin.
I just discovered another pair
of Ed Sullivan tickets
I forgot to give away.
Now, even though
we're only a few minutes
away from showtime,
the folks over there at CBS
tell me you can still get in
even if you're a few minutes late,
provided, of course, you answer
our countdown question correctly.
Please! Hurry!
Get me to seven!
If you live out on the Island,
Westchester County, Jersey, wherever,
don't call in if you can't make the show.

with this elevator?
You!
Hi, Rosie.
You busted it!
You broke the elevator!
Calm down. Relax. I'll have it fixed
in a jiffy. I know everything there is
to know about elevators.
You broke it.
You broke it on purpose!
Wait a minute. I know.
Just let me fix this here.
Help!
Get us out of here!
We're trapped!
Oh, I'm ruined!
My whole life is ruined!
Don't worry.
I'll get us out of this mess. Somebody
from the hotel is bound to save us.
They'll come and rescue us
just like the cavalry. Don't worry.
It's not like we're gonna suffocate.
There's plenty of fresh air.
Oh, before I forget...
Here's a little something for you
on behalf of the boys and myself,
just to show
there are no hard feelings.
It's a pass to the boys' performance
on the telly tonight.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Oh, by the way, there are some members
of the press downstairs.
They'd like to chat
with you a bit. You don't
have any objections, do you?
Reporters? Well...
Well, what do they wanna
talk to me for?
They just wanna
ask you a few questions.
You must be Al. Hi. I'm Cindy.
Hi, Cindy. I'm glad you could make it.Uh, can I...
can I take your coat?Yeah. Sure.
Can I fix you a drink?
A Coke, please.
Man Announcing]
Well, what kind of party
do you have in mind, Al?
Well, uh, actually, Cindy,
it was more like a picnic.
Look at that.
All right. She's probably
gonna end up in one of those houses.
She is gonna end up
in one of those houses.
It's all your fault.
Hey. Here she comes.
How 'bout a big smile for the camera?
There you go.
How does it feel
to be in the limelight?
Would you do it again?
I don't know. I didn't...
Hold it right there.
That's it. Thank you.
Different generation here.
Okay. Could the people
in the front please sit down
for the benefit of those in the back?
Thank you. Now, I'd like
to introduce you to the young lady...
I told you about: Miss Pam Mitchell.
How does it feel to be the number-one
Beatle fan in New York?Miss Mitchell?
Miss Mitchell?
Millions of young girls
across the country dream about
what you've done today.
Perhaps you'd like to tell them...
How did you feel...
actually being
in the Beatles' hotel room?
Well, I, um...
It's kind of hard
to put into words, but...
I guess it... it was...
it was wonderful,
The most wonderful feeling
I've ever had in my life.
Al, would you mind
if I switched to Ed Sullivan?
'Cause the Beatles are gonna be on.
I don't... care.
Anything you want.
Thanks.
Try to land one of these.
Static]
Thank you.
Thank you very much. Yeah.
Something really nice happened here.
The Beatles got a real kick out of it
because we received a wire...
or they did...
from Elvis Presley
and Colonel Tom Parker...
wishing them
the most tremendous success
in our country.
I think that was really,
really, really nice.
Now, you know,
this particular season has seen
many, many exciting acts,
like the Little Italian Mouse,
Topo Gigio, Belgium's Singing Nun,
Sister Sourire...
Well, kid, looks like your old man
really stuck it to ya this time.
The Sullivan show's already started.
You may as well go home.
Oh, no. They'll let us in,
even if we're late, just so long
as we've got the tickets, okay?
Give you one of my genuine
Beatles bedsheets. You can have a Paul.
I'm gonna miss
The Ed Sullivan Show.
No.There's no way we can miss
The Ed Sullivan Show.
I know where there's a TV,
and besides,
the Beatles are the last act.
They always save the best acts for last.
That way you have to sit through
all the commercials.
I got tickets
to see 'em in person!
I won 'em on the radio!
Yeah, well,
that's what I was saying.
We're... No... Wait...
We're trapped!
Oh, please, get us out!
Somebody save us!
We're trapped like rats!
That's right. Clear out.
All right. Get back.
All right. Hold it down.
Open up.
Pam, did you touch them? Can I
touch you where you touched them?
I didn't touch them.
Can I have your autograph?
Sure.
- Pam, can we have your autograph?
- Sign my cast.You'd better hurry
if you wanna see the show.
Can I touch you?
Excuse me.
Bye.
Bye-bye. Take care.
Bye.
Who's that guy?
Oh, that's Neil.
He's really nice. You'd like him.
Yeah. Let's go. You had me worried;
I hope you know that.
I'm sorry,
but today
was just so incredibly important...
I'm gonna let it go this time,
but you are going to have to start
acting a little more responsible.
You're hurting me.
Pam, where's my ring?
What?
My ring.
A paid a hundred and...
I paid $ for that ring.
Where is it?
It's, um... It's in my shoe.
I put it in my shoe.
Well, get it the hell out of your shoe.
I just thought that would be the safest place
for it when I was running around here.
I couldn't think
of anything else to do with it,
because I lost my purse on our way here.
It was just in the car,
and I'm sorry. L...
Come on. Let's get outta here.
Hey. Psst. There he is.
Hey, watch where you're walkin'!
This is a free country.
I can walk where I want!
Then walk on the expressway!
Okay. Come on. Let's go.
Wait a minute. Got the tickets?
Of course I got the tickets!
Come on. Let me see 'em.
There ain't no tickets
in here!
Look!
Now, come on.
Let's go.
No. Dad!
No.No.
- Dad! Oh, Dad!
- Now, sit in there!
I said sit in there!
Oh, Jesus. No.
I said stay in that chair.
Do you wanna see that show
or don't you?
Look at that. You ever
see a haircut like that before?
Uh-uh.
Isn't that something? How would
you like to have a kid like that?
Uh-uh.
Got into town last night,
and I saw him from the back...
I thought it was my daughter.
Mm.
I told him, "If you don't get a haircut,
you'll have to wear a sign. "
That somethin'?
Mm-hmm.
All right then. Go to work.
All right.
Now, just take it easy.
Nobody's gonna hurt ya.
Now, be a man,
and everything'll be fine.
Aah.
All right, kid.
How do ya want it?
I want him to look
like a marine.
- Oh, my God!
He's just been hit by a bus!
L... I think he's in shock!
Mister, please. Can I use your coat?
We've gotta keep him covered.
- He looks bad. You'd better give him
some mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Uh, right. Uh, could
you call an ambulance,
please?
There's a phone booth
right outside.
Okay. Okay.
Give him some mouth-to-mouth.
Did you hear what I said?
Give him some mouth-to-mouth.
More oxygen!
- Oh, great. Come on.
- What the...
Hello? Hello?
Aah. It's dead.
It's completely dead,
just like everything else
in this roach trap.
I knew it.
I knew this would happen.
It's because I'm being punished.
I'm being punished because
I missed Mass this morning.
Hey. A trapdoor.
Of course! A trapdoor!
All elevators have to have trapdoors;
that's the law. With this, you can
crawl to the fifth floor!
Oh, no. You'd better not.
That looks awful dangerous.
Dangerous?
Why, this isn't dangerous.
I'll tell you what's dangerous...
the time I got thrown
off the Long Island Railroad.
Now, that was dangerous.
This isn't even moving!
No. That's what I was afraid of...
a safety interlock.
We'll never
get these doors open.
Oh, it's hopeless.
The show's already started.
We may as well forget about it.
Forget about it?
Forget about the Beatles?
What, are you screwy or somethin'?
What else can we do?
We've tried everything else.
It's only two-eighths-inched
plate glass.
These doors are pretty flimsy,
like everything else in this fleabag.
So?
Come on!
What are you waitin' for?
Just think. In a couple ofhours,
you're gonna be Mrs. Eddie Lupus.
Mrs. Eddie Lupus.
I like the way that sounds.
Hey, it's gonna
be a great life for us, Mrs. Lupus.And why shouldn't it be?
I've got a greatjob. Heck, I'm in on
the ground floor of somethin'really big.
These plastic furniture covers
are the thing of the future.
We'll have to skimp the first few years...
and we won't be able
to go out much, but who cares?We'll have each other.
Mr. And Mrs. Eddie Lupus,
till death us do part.
- I'd rather see the Beatles.
- What?
- Eddie, stop the car. I wanna get out.
- What are you talking about?
I've got this ticket to see the Beatles,
and I don't wanna miss it.
- We're getting married.
- I can't do it, Eddie.
I can't marry you.
- What did you say?
- I just can't marry you.
I don't want to anymore.
Pam, what the hell have you
been doing here in New York?
- I've just realized that there are
more things in life for me besides marriage.
- More thing... Like what?
Like the Beatles.
Pamela!
Pamela! You come back here!
Did you hear me?
Did you hear me?

- Look. Don't worry.
I'll have these proofs sent to your house,
and you and your wife can select the prints
you'd like at your own convenience.
- What are you doin' to me?
What do you want?
- If you prefer to have the negatives...
processed somewhere else, I'd be
more than happy to sell them to you
at the incredible discount rate...
of only $ .
- Fifty bucks? That's blackmail!
- Look, Al, I happen to be in a hurry.
Fine. Okay. Okay.
Fifty bucks.
Smart move, Al.
You're never gonna regret this.
You know, I'm lettin' you off easy.
Here's your film, Al.
You're not goin' anywhere

Audience Applauds]
Oh, Larry,
you were just wonderful!
Let's get the hell out of here.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Just... Just sensational.
I'll be right back with the Beatles...after this word about Aeroshave.
Now, ladies and gentlemen
here in the studio audience,
right after these commercial announcements,
we're going to bring out the Beatles.
All right now.
Just simmer down.
Simmer down. Relax.Let's just try
to take it easy.
Shit!
This thing handles pretty well.
Now, I wanna remind you...
all you people... to keep your seats.
Remain seated
for the entire show.
All of you stay in your seats,
especially you folks up there
in the balcony.
You... young man up there...
would you please sit down there,
please?
Who, me?
Yes, you.Now, will you please
take off that ridiculous hat?
- Okay, Ed.
- How can people behind s...
be able to see
with that ridiculous hat on there?
All right, Ed.
Please. Let's have
no more outbursts like that.Let's set a nice example...
Would you like me
to take my coat off too?
All right. Take that off, too,
but sit down, please.
Jesus Christ.
Whoo-hoo!
Come on! What do you think this is,
a funeral or somethin'?
Larry, it's a red light!
I can see it's a red light!
We want the Beatles! We want the Beatles!
Now, you promised.You promised.
Look, so far tonight,
you've all been very well behaved.Now, let's not spoil it.
I don't wanna have to bring
a barber out here.That's right. I've got a barber
standing byjust in case.He's gonna come out
and clip those youngsters
with his clipper.I'm not kidding.
Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya
Brylcreem, you look so debonair
Brylcreem, the gals'll all pursue ya
They love to get their fingers
in your hair
You nitwit!
Serves you right, you moron!
As pain mounts up,
you feel dull, depressed, nerves on edge.
Please get those title cards in focus.
You can't read this shit.
How do I know which one's Ringo?I think he plays the guitar.
What guitar?
There's three guitars.Jesus Christ. I've got a headache
that's gonna slam through my ears.
Where the hell is Ed?
It's a one-way street!
I'm only goin' one way.
You got the ?
Yeah.
Come on.
All right, kid.
You're goin' down a one-way street
the wrong way.
Let me see your license.
I haven't got a license.
You don't have a license, huh?
Then who belongs to this car?
- It's my father's.
- Okay, kid.
You're gonna have to go down
to the station house and call your old man
from there. Out of the car.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, Officer.
This kid here...
This kid, he's...
he's my boyfriend,
and, um,
I was just wondering...
if there's any other way we could
take care of this.
Driving without a license
is a very serious offense.
I know, Officer,
but, uh,
you think his fine
would be more than $ ?
That sounds about right.
Well, um, Officer,
my friend and I were both
really in kind of a hurry.
And I was wondering...
if we were to pay you the fine
right now,
do you think you could
take care of it for us?
Well, it's an irregular procedure,
but in this case,
I'll make an exception.
Thank you.
- All right, kid.
I'm gonna give you a break this time.
- Thank you, sir.
But let this be a lesson to ya.
- Thanks a lot, Grace.
- Forget it.
And, you know,
all day yesterday and today,the theater's been absolutelyjammed
with newspapermen...
Oh, my God.I'm gonna see Paul.
And photographers, and they all agree
there has never been anything...like the excitement caused by these...
I'm gonna see Paul right here.
Stand by. One minute. When they come out
there, I want you to keep that audio down,
mister. I don't wanna see that needle...
Tony! Tony, don't do it!
Janis, what the hell
do ya think you're doin'?
- What do you think you're doing?
- I know what I'm doing.
I'm puttin' an end
to this Beatles bullshit
once and for all.
That's crazy, Tony!
You could get electrocuted!
You could blow this whole building up!
You might even get killed!
Yeah? Well,
what about that scuzzy hair?
- What if everybody starts
runnin' around lookin' like that?
- Oh, please, Tony! Please!
- Just listen to me for a minute.
- Forget it, Janis! Fifty million TV sets
are all gonna go black,
and there ain't a damn thing
that you or anybody else
can do about it!
Okay! All right!
You want 'em?
You got 'em. You got 'em.
Oh, shit!
So now, ladies and gentlemen,
here they are... the Beatles!
