Yellow Submarine quotes
Page 3 of 5Now whatever you do, don't touch that button!
'Ringo: Which button?
That one.
This button? [presses the button and is ejected] Aaaahhhhh!
That was the panic button.
Oh! Frankenstein!
Yeah, I used to go out with his sister.
His sister?
Yeah, Phyllis.
Find the boxing button!
Whoever heard of a boxing button?!
Who cares? Find one!
By all the sea nymphets! We're losing power!
We're being swallowed!
What should we do?
Serve tea?
Lovely.
The Narrator
[First lines]
Once upon a time, or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland. 80,000 leagues beneath the sea it lay, or lie. I'm not too sure.
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]
[opening a door to find King Kong abducting a woman]
Do you think we're interrupting something?
I think so.
[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.
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…?
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!
[writing with his foot]
The footnotes for my 19th book! This is my standard procedure for doing it; and while I compose it, I'm also reviewing it!
? "Lever-puller" is a pun on "Liverpooler", as Ringo and indeed all the Beatles are. (The usual term for people from Liverpool, England is "Liverpudlian".)
