Q: (asks question about miming to recordings for television appearances)
JOHN: "We've done more live performances than mimed. But the technicians are so bad that..."
GEORGE: "The London Palladium and the Ed Sullivan Show."
JOHN: "...and they've all been lousy because the technicians are stupid."
Q: "Are they."
PAUL: "Well, they're not ALL stupid, but often..."
JOHN: "They can only do big bands, you know."
PAUL: "The thing is, they're trained. They've been trained, say, twenty years with big bands and orchestras. And they can get THEIR sound perfectly. But when we come on with amplifiers and things it's very hard for them to get the sound, I think."
Q: "Is there any news about Ringo Starr?"
PAUL: "He's not feeling too bad. We don't know much about it."
GEORGE: "We're expecting him to join us on Sunday."
JOHN: "Wednesday, we heard."
GEORGE: "Sunday... to go to Hong Kong."
Q: "The doctors didn't allow him to come with you?"
JOHN: "'Til when? I heard it was 'til next Wednesday."
GEORGE: "Well, it's supposed to be Sunday."

Q: "Paul McCartney."

Q: (noticing Paul's left-handed autograph) "You're a left-handed guitar player too?"
PAUL: "Yes... Actually, it's done by mirrors."

Q: "Thank you, and all the best of luck."
