Dewey Cox

Maybe you don't believe in me at all.

I do believe in you... I just know you're gonna fail.

Maharishi

Only through meditation can we begin to understand our role...

Paul McCartney
[eyes closed, waving hands]

We're nothing but...grains of sand.

Dewey Cox

That was freakin' transcendental, Paul McCartney. Don't you agree, John Lennon?

John Lennon

Yes, Dewey Cox. With meditation there's no limit to what we can...[glances at camera]...imagine.

Dewey Cox

What do you think, George Harrison, of the Beatles?

George Harrison

Well, you know, when you're speaking of transcendentalism, it's like, you know, is it enlightenment? Where do you go? What sort of path do you take? And I just think we're all just sort of drifting about and when you begin to wonder about it, it's as if it doesn't exist in the first place, but then of course, it does. So there to say, I think it's not really more of answer. It's more of a question.

Ringo Starr

And as Ringo Starr, I'm not so interested in meditation. I just like to have fun. [flashes peace sign]

Dewey Cox
[laughs]

I like the little one.

George Harrison

It's so dark in this tent, y'know, it reminds me of when we, the Beatles, the four Beatles, us...

Paul McCartney

From Liverpool.

John Lennon

We are from Liverpool.

George Harrison

...used to play those dark clubs in Hamburg. You remember that, Paul?

Paul McCartney
[carefully]

Of course I do, I booked 'em. I'm the leader of the Beatles.

Dewey Cox

But I have to say, I like your stuff. It's pretty good, and most of your records I really enjoy.

Paul McCartney

Well, we're big fans of your records too. We like to think that "Hard Day's Night" is our "Guilty As Charged".

John Lennon

Great record. Great record.

Theo

Well, we're real big fans of y'all.

Sam

Huge fans.

Dave

You guys are almost as good as the Monkees. You guys are great.

Ringo Starr

I think I might adjourn to another dimension, take some LSD. You care to join me?

Sam

Let's do that.

George Harrison

Care to join us for some LSD, Dewey? It's good for you.

Paul McCartney

Built by scientists, it is.

Ringo Starr

Lysergic.

Dewey Cox
[points at wedding ring]

Gotta check with headquarters.

John Lennon

Come on, Dewey Cox, I think you might enjoy it...open up your mind, a new experience, a new level of consciousness, like we did, because we are the Beatles.

Paul McCartney

Why don't you just let him decide. If he wants to take LSD he'll take it. He doesn't have to listen to you, you're not the boss of him.

John Lennon
[sulkily]

Don't tell me what to say and what not to say, Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney

I'm sick of you being so dark when I'm so impish and whimsical! I'm sick of it!

John Lennon

Hey look everyone, I've got a brand new mantra! [hums] Paul's a big fat ****.

George Harrison

Don't know why you two don't let me write more songs, y'know, I just sit here, while me guitar quietly whimpers...

Paul McCartney

Well, you are the quiet one, so why don't you shut the **** up?

Ringo Starr
[whining]

I've got a song about an octopus.

John Lennon

Jam it up your ass. You're lucky we still let you play the drums.

Dewey Cox

Wow. Seems like there's a rift happening between the Beatles.

John Lennon
[to Paul]

I wonder if your songs will still be shit when I'm sixty-four.
[Paul attacks John; they begin to wrestle]

Dewey Cox
[singing]

In my dreams, you're blowing me... some kisses.

[singing]

That's one of my favorite things to do.

Sam
[after Dewey accidentally barges in a room filled with smoke and groupies]

Get outta here, Dewey!

Dewey Cox

What are y'all doin' in here?

Sam

We're smoking reefer and you don't want no part of this shit.

Dewey Cox

You're smoking *reefers*?

Sam

Yeah, 'course we are; can't you smell it?

Dewey Cox
[somberly]

No, Sam. I can't.

Girl Groupie

Come on, Dewey! Join the party! [takes a hit off a joint]

Sam

No, Dewey, you don't want this. Get outta here!

Dewey Cox

You know what, I don't want no hangover. I can't get no hangover.

Sam

It doesn't give you a hangover!

Dewey Cox

Wha-I get addicted to it or something?

Sam

It's not habit-forming!

Dewey Cox

Oh, okay... well, I don't know... I don't want to overdose on it.

Sam

You can't OD on it!

Dewey Cox

It's not gonna make me wanna have sex, is it?

Sam

It makes sex even better!

Dewey Cox

Sounds kind of expensive.

Sam

It's the cheapest drug there is.

Dewey Cox
[at a loss and out of excuses]

Hmm.

Sam

You don't want it!

Dewey Cox

I think I kinda want it.

Sam

Okay, but just this once. Come on in.
