The Chief Blue Meanie: Pepperland is a tickle of joy upon the blue belly of the universe...it must be scratched. Right, Max? Max: [saluting] Yes, Your Blueness! The Chief Blue Meanie: WHAAAAAAT?!?! [grabs Max by his ears] We Meanies only take NO for an answer! [drops down Max] IS THAT UNDERSTOOD, MAX?! Max: No, Your Blueness! The Chief Blue Meanie: That's better. Are the troops in readiness? Max: No, Your Blueness! Max: No! The Chief Blue Meanie: Clowns? Max: No! Max: No! The Chief Blue Meanie: Anti-Music Missile? Max: No! The Chief Blue Meanie: The Dreadful Flying Glove? Max: No! The Chief Blue Meanie: Splendid! Today, Pepperland goes blue-y! FIRE!

John: [to Ringo] I think he needs a rehearsal.

John: I'll drive you if you like. George: No, you sit in the middle. Ringo: No, I'm sitting in the middle. John: You said you were driving Ringo: I am driving. George: I'll get in the back, then.
