"Oh, that this too too sullied flesh would melt..." [Quickly turns to the camera] ZAP!
A Hard Day's Night quotes
Page 1 of 3Shake, that that wig off, it suits you.
Shake [Trying to follow the Beatles into a casino, past a security guard]
I'm with them. I'm, uh, Ringo's sister.
TV Director
Get me a bottle of milk and some tranquilizers. I see it all now, it's a plot... a plot... tranquilizers.
What's the matter with you, then?
It's his grandfather. I can tell he doesn't like me. It's cause I'm little.
Ah, you've got an inferiority complex, you have.
Yeah, I know, that's why I play the drums - it's me active compensatory factor.
Paul's Grandfather
Hello.
He can talk, then, can he?
Of course, he can talk. He's a human being, isn't he?
Well if he's your grandfather, who knows? [chuckles awkwardly]
And we're looking after him, are we?
Paul's Grandfather
I'll look after meself.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
He's got you worried, then?
Him? He's a villain. A real mixer. And he'll cost you a fortune in Breach of Promise cases.
Gerron.
No, straight up.
Hey, pardon me for asking, but who's the little old man?
Uh, what little old man?
That little old man.
Oh, that one, that's my grandfather.
Your grandfather?
Yes.
That's not your grandfather.
It is, you know.
But I've seen your grandfather. He lives in your house.
Oh, that's my other grandfather, but he's my grandfather as well.
How do you reckon that one out?
Well, everyone's entitled to two, aren't they, and he's my other one.
We know that. But what's he doing here?
Well, my mother thought the trip would do him good.
How's that?
He's nursing a broken heart.
Man
And don't take that tone with me, young man. I fought the war for your sort.
I bet you're sorry you won.
Man
I shall call the guard.
Ah, but what? They don't take kindly to insults you know. Come on, let's go have some coffee and leave the kennel to Lassie.
Man
I suppose you realize this is private property.
Sorry we hurt your field, Mister.
Are you listening to me, Lennon?
Yeah, a swine.
Thanks. [Sees Paul's grandfather] Hey!
Beatles
WHO'S THAT LITTLE OLD MAN?
Well, who is he?
He belongs to Paul.
Oh, well.
Leave him alone, John. Or I'll tell them all the truth about you.
You wouldn't.
Oh, I would, though.
Now, listen, I've got one thing I'm gonna say to you, Lennon.
What's that?
This is a battle of nerves between John and me.
Shake John hasn't got any.
Any what?
Shake Nerves.
That's just the trouble. I've toyed with the idea of a ball-and-chain, but he'd just rattle them at me, and in public too. Sometimes, I think he enjoys seeing me suffer.
Are you a mod or a rocker?
Um, no. I'm a mocker.
Do you often see your father?
No, actually, we're just good friends.
