Daily Dialogue — June 25, 2010

George:Ok, men all aboard. Lets go somewhere.
Ringo:[Indicating Jeremy] What about him?
John:He’s happy enough going around in circles.
Ringo:Aw, poor fellow. Can’t he come with us?
Paul:I don’t know. Ringo’s just a sentamentalist.
Ringo:Hey, Mr Boob! You can come with us if you like.
Jeremy:You… you mean you’d take a nowhere man?
Ringo:Yea, come on. We’ll take you somewhere.

 — George (Peter Batten), Ringo (Paul Angelis), John (John Clive), Paul (Geoffrey Hughes), and Jeremy (Dick Emery), Yellow Submarine (1968), screenplay by Lee Minoff and Al Brodax & Jack Mendelsohn and Erich Segal, story by Lee Minoff

This week’s Daily Dialogue theme is animated movies.

Trivia: When the producers approached The Beatles about this film, the group, which hated the TV cartoon show of them, agreed to it only as an easy way of completing their movie contract. As such, they contributed only a few old songs and four quickly produced numbers: “Only a Northern Song”, “Hey Bulldog”, “All Together Now” and “It’s All Too Much”. However, when they saw the finished film, they were so impressed by it that they decided to appear in a short live action epilogue to the film.
