John: It's great.
Question: What do you like best about our country?
John: You!
Question: I'll take that under advisement. Do you have any plans to meet the Johnson girls?

Question: Are they coming to your performance?
Paul: If they do, we'd like to meet them.
Question: You and the snow both came to Washington today. Which do you think will have the greater impact?

Question: Thanks, fellas. By the way, it's CBS News.
George: I know, but I didn't want to say it as now we're on ABC.

Question: No, Im Ed.
John: What's going on around here?
Question: What do you think of your reception in America so far?
John: It's been great.
Question: What struck you the most?

George: Well, we're doing it again, squire!
Question: Why do you think your so popular?
John: It must be the weather.

Paul: I doubt it. We don't know which it could be.
Question: Where'd you get the idea for the haircuts?
John: Where'd you get the idea for yours?
Paul: We enjoy wearing our hair this way, so it's developed this way.

Paul: Roar...
John: I think it costs more to keep our hair short than long, don't you?

Question: Are you still number one in Europe?
George: We're number one in America.

Paul: Australia, Denmark, Finland.
Question: And you haven't any idea why?
Ringo: We just lay down and do it.

Question: You call your records "funny records"?
John: "Funny," yeah, the ones we've forgotten.
George: It's unnsual because they've been out in England for over a year. Like "Please, Please Me" it's a big hit over here now, but it's over a year old.
Question: Do you think they're musical?
John: Obviously they're musical because it's music isn't it! We make music. Instrument play music. It's a record.
Question: What do you call it, Rock and Roll?

John: Thank you. Keep buying them records and look after yourself.
