Old Fred: By all the sea nymphets, we're losing power.
Paul: We're being swallowed.

George: Serve tea. John: Lovely.
Old Fred: By Neptune's knickerbockers, she's puttered out.
John: Maybe we should call a road service.
Paul: Can't. No road.
Ringo: And we're not sub-scribers. George, John, Paul: Subscribers!
George: I know something about motors. Let me have a look.
Old Fred: Here.
George: Is that the motor?
Old Fred: Can't you tell one when you see one? George: Of course I can. Let me peruse it.
John: What do you think?
George: I think I burned my finger.
Ringo: Here, lads. Look at this.
John: What do you think it is?
George: Nothing.
Ringo: Looks like nothing.
Paul: It's a local inhabitant.
Ringo: He's probably one of the nothings.
Paul: At least that's something. Let's show him our motor.
John: Steady on. You don't want to show your motor to just anybody.
George: But this is a nobody.
Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD.: Medic, pedic, zed oblique, orphic, morphic, dorphic, Greek. Ad hoc, ad loc and quid pro quo. So little time, so much to know.
John: Can you tell us where we're at?
Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD.: A true Socratic query, that.
John: And who the Billy Shears are you?
Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD.: Who? Who indeed am I?
John: Jeremy?
Paul: Hillary?
George: Boob?
Ringo: Ph. D?
George, John, Paul, Ringo: Who?
Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD.: Eminent physicist, polyglot, classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist, too.
George: Lousy poet.
Jeremy: Critic's voice, take your choice.
Ringo: Must be one of them angry young men.
Paul: Or a daffy old creep.
Jeremy: I, daffy old creep?
George: Do you speak English?
Jeremy: Old English, middle, a dialect, pure...
Paul: Well, do you speak English?
Jeremy: You know, I'm not sure.
Ringo: He's so smart; he doesn't even remember what he knows.
Paul: Why don't we show him our motor? John: Should we really... show him our motor? Paul: He may not have seen one before. Jeremy: Turbo-prop, super-combustible spring. etrocyclonic and stereophonic, this motor, I see, has a broken down thing.
John: He fixed it.
Ringo: He fixed it? Paul: Great. Let's go.
Jeremy: I must complete my bust, two novels, finish my blueprints, begin my beguine. John: Must you always talk in rhyme?
Jeremy: If I spoke prose, you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about. The footnotes for my 19th book. This is my standard procedure for doing it. And while I compose it, I'm also reviewing it.
George: A boob for all seasons.
Paul: How can he lose?
John: Were your notices good? Jeremy: It's my policy never to read my reviews.
John: There must be a word for what he is.
John, Paul, George, Ringo (singing):
He's a real Nowhere Man Sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man, can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry, Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody
John: Okay, men, all aboard. Let's go somewhere.
Ringo: What about him?
John: He's happy enough going around in circles.
Ringo: Poor little fella.
Paul: I don't know. Ringo's just a sentimentalist. Ringo: Look at him. Can't he come with us? Mr. Boob, you can come with us, if you like. Jeremy: You mean, you'd take a Nowhere Man?
