“When you’re not thumping them pagan skins…
…you’re tormenting your eyes with that rubbish.
Parading’s better.
Parading the streets…
…trailing your coat, bowling along, living!!
When was the last time you gave a girl a pink-edged daisy?
When did you last embarrass a sheila with your cool appraising stare?
They’ve driven you into books with their cruel, unnatural treatment…
…exploiting your good nature.
And what’s it all come to in the end?
When you could be out there betraying a rich American widow…
…or sipping palm wine in Tahiti…”
– Paul’s Grandfather to Ringo, A HARD DAY’S NIGHT (Screenplay by Alun Owen)
