Paul: "Not if.... Not if you don't let yourself.

JSP: "But supposin' if your record's a success? Which there is a big chance it will be."

John: "Oh right, yeah, here we go."

JSP: "Supposin' you made a lot of money, what are you? How are you gonna be different from the Stones?"

JR: "I don't need a Rolls Royce, I don't need a house in the country, I don't need to live in the South of France. I'm 'appy as I am and gonna carry on."

Paul: "In Finsbury Park."

Steve: "With his brother."

JR: (irritated) "I don't live in Finsbury Park..."
