Go To

"I say, before the Great War with Jerry we would pass the time between our cups o' tea by wrestling naked with our mates at the boarding school at Stratfordshire-Near-Sixborough, a jolly good pastime, it was!"

Paul McCartney: Do you mind if we have it [train window] open?
Man: Yes, I do.
John Lennon: Yeah, but there's four of us and we'd like it open. Not that it's all the same to you, that is.
Man: It isn't. I travel on this train regularly, twice a week. So, I suppose I have some rights.
Ringo Starr: So have we.
(Ringo gets a radio out and starts playing rock music)
Man: And we'll have that thing off as well, thank you.
(Man turns the radio off and takes it from Ringo)
Ringo: But-
Man: An elemetary knowledge of the Railway Act will tell you I'm perfectly within my rights.
Paul: Yeah, but we wanna hear it. There's more of us than you. We're a community, a majority vote, "Up the Workers" and all that stuff!
Man: Then, I suggest you take that damn thing into the corridor, or some other part of the train, where you obviously belong.
John: (leaning in) Give us a kiss.
Paul: Look, mister, we paid for our seats too, you know.
Man: I travel on this train regularly, twice a week!
John: Knock it off, Paul. You can't win with his sort. After all, it's his train, isn't it, mister?
Man: Don't take that tone with me, young man. I fought the war for you sort.
Ringo: I bet you're sorry you won.
Man: I shall call a guard...
Paul: Ah, but what? They don't take kindly to insults, you know. (to the other Beatles) Come on, let's have some coffee and leave the kennel to lassie.
(The Beatles exit the cabin)
Paul: Hey, mister, can we have our ball back?
(The Beatles press their faces on the cabin door window, then run off)
