:32:00
Monday night, I believe,
when they get here.

:32:03
You officers that are stationed...
:32:05
in front of the stage,
behind the barricade...

:32:09
you will go to Mr. Morris Shapiro,
the first-aid man...

:32:13
and he will furnish you with earplugs...
:32:17
so as to keep you from having a headache.
:32:21
If he runs out of earplugs,
he has got some cotton.

:32:25
- Is that understood?
- Yes, sir.

:32:30
The music wasn't being heard.
It was just...

:32:33
a sort of freak show.
:32:35
The Beatles were the show,
and the music had nothing to do with it.

:32:38
The only reason to be a Beatle
was to make music...

:32:40
and not just to, sort of, be in a circus.
:32:57
After the Beatles'last tour...
:32:59
which was the one
where the Ku Klux Klan were burning...

:33:01
Beatle records, and I was held up
as a Satanist or something...

:33:05
then we decided, no more touring.
That's enough of that.

:33:08
But I was really too
scared to walk away.

:33:10
I was thinking, this
is like the end, really.

:33:13
There's no more touring.
That's when I started considering:

:33:15
"What the hell do you do all day?"
:33:18
So I said yes to Dick Lester...
:33:19
that I would make this movie with him
and went to Altamira, Spain for six weeks.

:33:27
At a studio in London...
:33:28
the Beatles have just come together
for the first time in four months...

:33:31
to record some songs.
:33:33
The songwriting team, they will keep
going on, whatever happens, will it?

:33:36
Yeah, we'll probably carry on
writing music forever...

:33:40
whatever else we're doing,
'cause you just can't stop.

:33:44
You find yourself doing it
whether you want to or not.

:33:46
Do you think the tours, like
the American tours and the English one...

:33:50
It stands in England?
:33:51
There must be a point
where they don't work anymore...

:33:55
because they're not to do
with what we're doing...

:33:57
record-wise or film-wise.
:33:59
Before we did Sergeant Pepper, we were
given a license to kill, so to speak...
