Quotes 

• Norm : Stop being taller than me!

  Shake : I can't help it.

• Norm : Now you've got about an hour, but don't leave the theater. Where are you going, John?

  John : [with a dancing girl]  She's gonna show me her stamp collection.

  Paul : [also with a girl]  So's mine.

  Norm : John, I'm talking to you! This final run-through is important, understand? IMPORTANT!

  [John snorts like a pig, then leaves] 

  Grandfather : I want a cup of tea!

  Norm : Uh, Shake?

  Shake : [reaching for a guitar]  Um... I've got to adjust the decibels on the imbalance, Norm.

  Norm : Clever. George?

  [George puts his fingers in his ears] 

  Norm : Ringo, look after him, will you?

  Ringo : Ah, Norm!

  Norm : Do I have to raise my voice?

  Ringo : All right. Come on, Granddad.

  [mumbling] 

  Ringo : I'm a drummer, not a wet nurse, you know?

• George : Honestly! Me mind boggles at the very idea, a grown man and you haven't shaved with a safety razor.

  Shake : It's not my fault. I come from a long line of electricians.

• Shake : It's not my fault.

  Norm : What?

  Shake : I'm not taller than you are. You're smaller than I am.

• Norm : This is a battle of nerves between John and me.

  Shake : John hasn't got any.

  Norm : Any what?

  Shake : Nerves.

  Norm : That's the trouble. I've toyed with the idea of a ball and chain, but he'd probably just rattle them at me, and in public, too. Sometimes I think he enjoys seeing me suffer.

• Shake : [Norm is smoking a cigar while Shake is reading a book]  He's been gone a long time.

  Norm : Who?

  Shake : Paul's grandfather.

  Shake : Oh, I didn't notice. Where'd he go?

  Norm : Down the uh...

  [points down the train's hallway] 

  Shake : Oh, down the uh...

  [points his head also down the hallway] 

  Norm : Yeah, down the uh...

  [also pointing his head down the hallway] 

  Shake : Oh, well give him a couple minutes, then.

• Norm : Hey! Have you seen Paul's grandfather?

  John : Of course. He's concealed about my person.

  Norm : [rolls his eyes]  Now, he must have slipped off somewhere!

  Paul : Have you lost him?

  Norm : Don't exaggerate.

  Paul : You've lost him!

  Shake : Put it this way, Paulie: he's mislaid him.

• Shake : Well, he just asked if he could have those photos, and Norm said no, and I said, "Well, why not be big about it?"

  Paul : Yeah, and?

  Norm : And your grandfather pointed out that Shake was always being taller than me just to spite me!
