I could've sworn I saw a yellow submarine. But that's not logical now, is it? It must've been one of them "Unidentified Flying Cupcakes". Or a figment of me imagination. But I don't have an imagination.

Steady on! I mean, you don't want to be showing your motor to just anybody!
Yeah, but this is a nobody.
. . .
Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time — ha ha! — so much to know!
Well, can you tell us where we're at?
A true Socratic query, that!
Oh yeah, and who the Billy Shears are you?
Who? Ah, who indeed am I?
Hilary…
Boob…?
Ringo [Ringo's card says Ph. D.]
Phuddt!
All
Who?
Eminent physicist, polyglot cladicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist. Good dentist, too! Ha-ha!
Lousy poet.
Critic's voice — take your choice!
Ringo I wonder what would happen if I pull this lever.
You musn't do that!
Ringo I can't help it, I'm a born Liver-pooler.[2]
Hey Ringo, I just had the strangest dream.
Ringo I warned you not to eat on an empty stomach.
Ringo Jeremy! Can it be you?
Can it be me? I think you'd better inquire of the guards, for when I was captured, they took all my cards!
Oh! Frankenstein!
Ringo Yeah, I used to go out with his sister.
His sister?
Ringo Yeah, Phyllis.
Now whatever you do, don't touch that button!
'Ringo: Which button?
That one.

Won't you please, please help me!
Move over, I'm driving.
No, I got here first.
I'll drive if you like...
No, you sit in the middle.
Ringo No, I'm sitting in the middle.
You said you were driving.
Ringo I am driving.
I'll get in the back, then. [they drive off the screen] [CRASH!]
Hey! There's a Cyclops!
Can't be. It's got two eyes.
Must be a "bicycle-ops" then.
Ringo There's another one.
A whole "'cyclopedia"!

Ringo I kind of like it the way it is. Submarine shape.

A quartet?
Lord Mayor
And four mothers
A Mother quartet?
Lord Mayor
Made their way in this yellow submarine...
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.
Ringo I can't seem to get it out of my head.
Well shake it!
Ringo 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]
Ringo And I've got a hole in my pocket [takes out a fake hole from his pocket]
A hole?
Ringo [throws down hole]
Well, half a hole anyway. I gave the rest to Jeremy.
What can he do with half a hole?
Fix it to keep his mind from wandering! Ha ha!
Ringo [noticing John looking through a spyglass]
Hey! Look at John, will ya?
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?
Ringo Displaying.
Old Fred
Displaying what?
Ringo Dis-playing around.
[Vaudeville rimshot music plays]
Ringo Siturday.
Then George will be in here. [opens a door]
Ringo [Passing themselves as they go backwards in time]
Look, there's another yellow submarine...and they're waving at us.
Wave back.
Ringo 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.

Critic's voice, take your choice.
Ringo Must be one of them angry young men.
Or a daffy old creep.
I, daffy old creep?
You speak English?
Old English, middle, a dialect, pure.
Well, do you speak English?
You know, I'm not sure!
Ringo He's so smart, he doesn't even remember what he knows.
Ringo Here, Bubo; Bubo! come with us!
Really? You'd take a Nowhere Man?
If I could come in, here, I think the theory put forward by Einstein.
Could well be applied here. The people in the ball are obviously extensions of our own personalities, suspended, as it were, in time, frozen in space.
Uh, John.
According to the now-famous theory of relativity.
[They charge at the glass with one of the columns, but it bounces with a bang]
Beating lightly, and adding a little salt and pepper to taste.
John!
How do we get them out?
Break the glass.
We can't!
Ringo It's Beatle-proof.
Nothing is Beatle-proof.
Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo, I've got to practice, let me go!
Ringo Jeremy! Can it be you?
You must inquire with the guards, for when i was captured they took all my cards.
What do you recommend? Fistocufs with the guard? [Ringo nodds] Oh guaarrdd, blue meanial! Left to the nostril, right uppercut, right to the eyebrow and left to the gut!
Get back! Get back! Once more unto the breach, dear Meanies! You're advancing the wrong way! Retreat backwards! Get back there now! [begins to cry] My kingdom for a horse! [stops crying when he confronts Jeremy] I think I'll tear him up into little pieces.
Oh, he does, does he?
Yes, I think I'll make a blueburger out of him.
I don't care what you think. [turns to go]
Oh, you don't, eh?! [grabs Jeremy] We'll soon see about that!
[cornered]
He does, in truth, seem quite annoyed. Some reference material be-be-before I'm destroyed! [reading from his book] "Where ground is soft most often grows, arise! Arise! Arouse! A rose! [a rose sprouts on the Chief Blue Meanie's nose] A rosy nose?
Peace! Peace! Supplant the doom and the gloom! Turn off what is sour! Turn into a flower and bloom! Bloom! Bloom! [roses sprout all over the Chief Blue Meanie] Bloom! Bloom! Bloom! Bloom! Bloom!
[now very upset]
I'LL TEAR YOU TO PIECES!!! [screams as he is now covered himself with roses, and runs away with the rest of the Meanies]
Ringo [Jeremy is dancing among the flowers] [to John, about Jeremy]
First time I saw that Nowhere Man, that Nobody, "I" knew he was Somebody.
You're right. [calling out to the Blue Meanies] Hello, there, blue people! Won't you join us?! Hook up, and otherwise co-mingle?! What do you say?!
Your Blue - uh, I mean, er, Your Newness?
It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?
Argentina?
Are you with us?! Will you join?!
[arriving]
Yes! Ah, yes is a word with a glorious ring! [shakes hand with the Chief Blue Meanie] A true universal utopious thing! [helps Max up] Engenders embracing and chasing of blues, the very best word for the whole world to use! [dances away merrily]
Yes, let us mix, Max. [Max nodded] I've never admitted it before, but my cousin is the Bluebird of Happiness!
