While we were living in New York...
1:14:37
we started to see the resemblance
between New York and Liverpool.

1:14:42
And the docks, the piers, you know.
1:14:44
I said, "This is like going
back to Liverpool. It's a big Liverpool. "

1:14:49
I've met a lot of New Yorkers who
complain about it, but nobody moves out.

1:14:54
It's the greatest place on earth.
1:14:56
Documents released today reveal
that a massive FBI investigation...

1:15:00
in the early 1970s...
1:15:01
was part of a government effort
to deport John Lennon.

1:15:05
You don't think there's
any possibility that...

1:15:07
the government is trying to harass
the Lennons?

1:15:09
Absolutely not. This is the kind
of treatment we would dish out...

1:15:12
to anybody convicted
of a narcotics offense.

1:15:15
When it first started,
I was followed in a car.

1:15:20
And my phone was tapped.
1:15:21
And people thought I was crazy then.
1:15:24
They do anyway, but I mean more so.
1:15:26
"Lennon, you big-headed maniac,
who's going to follow you?

1:15:30
"What do they want?"
1:15:32
That's what I'm saying.
What do they want? I'm not going to...

1:15:34
cause them any problem.
1:15:38
Everywhere John went, people asked him
that question...

1:15:41
the one about the Beatles
getting back together.

1:15:44
And even though we were friends...
1:15:46
I was a reporter at that time
and the question was almost obligatory.

1:15:51
Will they ever team up again?
1:15:52
It's quite possible, yes. I don't know
why the hell we'd do it, but it's possible.

1:15:57
- Would you like that to happen?
- Lf it happens, I'll enjoy it.
