Rooftop

Part way into the third DVD you can sense how intensely the Beatles have their feet to the fire. But, Paul pulls it together, so diplomatically:

The movie’s director, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, says, “Tomorrow, with the nine cameras, if we do tomorrow, there is a kind of, ‘Something will happen’.”

Paul replies, “No, it’s the best bit of us, always has been and always will be, is when we’ve got — when we’re backs against the wall and we’ve been rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing.”

Paul then glances over at John, “And he knows it’s a take on the dub. And he does it great.”

Math Matrix

Arthur Dent & Ford Prefect flee from the destruction of the Earth by escaping onto an enemy spaceship:

“This is your captain speaking, so stop whatever you’re doing and pay attention.

“First of all I see from our instruments that we have a couple of hitchhikers aboard. Hello, wherever you are.

“I just want to make it totally clear that you are not at all welcome. I worked hard to get where I am today, and I didn’t become captain of a Vogon constructor ship simply so I could turn it into a taxi service for a load of degenerate freeloaders. I have sent out a search party, and as soon that they find you I will put you off the ship.

“If you’re very lucky I might read you some of my poetry first.”
