13 scenesI wonder what would happen if I pull this lever.
Young Fred You musn't do that!
I can't help it, I'm a born Liver-pooler.[2]
Well fellas, now Ringo's gone. What should we do?
Old Fred
Learn to sing trios.
Nah, let's save the poor devil.
Is that the motor?
Fred Can't you tell one when you see one?
Course I can. Let me peruze it. [places his finger on a part of the motor zapping him; he removes his finger from the motor]
What do you think?
I think I burned me finger.
Young Fred Oh! Frankenstein!
Yeah, I used to go out with his sister.
Young Fred His sister?
Yeah, Phyllis.
Young Fred Now whatever you do, don't touch that button!
'Ringo: Which button?
Young Fred That one.
This button? [presses the button and is ejected] Aaaahhhhh!
Young Fred That was the panic button.
Young Fred Help! Help! Help!
No thanks, don't need any.
Young Fred Won't you please, please help me!
Young Fred By all the sea nymphets! We're losing power!
We're being swallowed!
What should we do?
Serve tea?
Lovely.
Groovy! How do you start this thing?
Young Fred She starts with a Blue Meanie attack.
Well... supposing there are no Blue Meanies in the neighbourhood?
Young Fred Oh, well, then you, um, start looking for a switch.
Young Fred All right then. Let's get this vessel shipshape.
I kind of like it the way it is. Submarine shape.
Lord Mayor
Four scores and 32 bars ago, our four fathers
Young Fred A quartet?
Lord Mayor
And four mothers
Young Fred A Mother quartet?
Lord Mayor
Made their way in this yellow submarine...
Young Fred What, that little thing?
Lord Mayor
...to Pepperland.
[The Beatles are shown as their live action selves, after It's All Too Much ends.]
Catchy tune, that.
I can't seem to get it out of my head.
Well shake it!
That's what we've been doing all night.
Oh?
Yeah, it was a great party.
And we brought back lots of lovely souvenirs. [takes out a kite string with a wind-up mistaken for a motor] Here's the motor.
And I've got a little...love! [the word "love" comes out of his hand]
And I've got a hole in my pocket [takes out a fake hole from his pocket]
A hole?
What can he do with half a hole?
Fix it to keep his mind from wandering! Ha ha!
What's the matter, John love? Blue Meanies?
Newer and bluer meanies have been sighted within the vicinity of this theater! There's only one way to go out.
How's that?
Singing!
Old Fred
[In a room full of trophies]
Hey, what would your friends be doing here?
Displaying.
Old Fred
Displaying what?
Dis-playing around.
[Vaudeville rimshot music plays]
Old Fred
I don't mean to alarm you, mates, but the years are going backwards!
What's that mean, Old Fred?
Old Fred
It means if we slip back in time at this rate, very soon we'll all disappear up our own existence!
[Passing themselves as they go backwards in time]
Look, there's another yellow submarine...and they're waving at us.
Wave back.
There's only two of us.
Well, then, I would suggest that yonder yellow submarine is none other than ourselves...
Old Fred
Going backwards.
In time.
