Man's voice (maybe one of The Beatles?): Hello, how's about playing one of these records. This is The Beatles speaking.
*Beatles start singing "Walzing Miltida again"*
Male Interviewer: So, fellas, how much have you heard about Australia?
George: Ummm,a lot. It's warm and funny and keep all the convicts (?) out there in Rockedy Bay. Wonderful place, anyway.
Male Interviewer: Got any message for the teenagers of Australia?
George: Ahhh, yeah, we'll see them when we get there, we hope. Ummm, you know... thanks for buying all our records and looking forward to the trip. Thank You.

The Beatles, Hong Kong
Male Interviewer: Have you heard any Chinese singing?
John: Uhh, no...
Male Interviewer: to "Walzing Matilda" here is The Beatles
*Beatles singing "Walzing Mitilda" again*
Male Interviewer: If you'd ask me what a jumbuck, I don't know.
George: Oh, we know what a fine guy field is.
Male Interviewer: Ahhh, and the Ralph Harris.
*George signing about kangroo down*
Male Interviewer: Within 24 hours overnight you've come from summer to winter. How do you think that's going to affect your health?
John: Uhhh, I don't think it'll affect at all.
George: We're always naturally unhealthy, so, it doesn't matter.
Male Interviewer: Umm, they... are you going to wear these Hong Kong suits that you had made?
John: George and I haven't had any made.
Male Interviewer: Haven't you?
John: No...
George: We're saving up.
Male Interviewer: We read about it in the papers.
George and John: Oh, we never.
John: You never believe what they write in the papers. Paul's had one, that's all... or is that two?
George: Our road managers have had one or two.
Male Interviewer: Now what are you going to do while in Australia?
George: Uhhh, play *John and him sing something about about kangroo down*
*laughing*
Male Interviewer: You ought to be able to get out, or are you going to have to be locked in your room all day?
George: Well, we really don't know until we get to where we're going.
John: We don't expect to get out, anyway.If we do it's a lucky, you know.
George: If we do it, it's our lucky.
John: *laughs* It's our lucky, not saying me.
Male Interviewer: You can't keep living like your in a prison all your life.
John: Well, it won't last all our lives, will it?
Male Interviewer: Ahh, how long do you think it'll last?
John: We know it won't last all our lives, so that's enough.
Male Interviewer: Paul, I've heard you bought a Chinese suit.
Paul: Yes, it's true. Two.
Male Interviewer: Did you?
Paul: Yeah.
Male Interviewer: How much did you pay for them?
Paul: It wasn't very much... about 10 grand, I think.
Male Interviewer: I thought being The Beatles they'd charge you twice as much, did you have a chance to bargain with them then?
Paul: Yeah, it's crazy, actually, because somebody said you got to haggle them down to get the prices down. So, I did, it's quite good. This fellow was selling
some ornaments and he wanted 160 dollars for them... no, he was selling watches, that's it, for 160 Hong Kong dollars. So, I can see him doing that. No, it's not like
... no wait, 100 dollars, that's right, you know. Anyway, I got him down to 100 dollars, it was probably worth 30 dollars, but, uhhh...
Male Interviewer: Do you want to buy anything in Australia?
Paul: Yes, definitely.
Male Interviewer: Anything, like what?
Paul: Anything in particular. I don't know. I think everyone who goes to Australia buys a boomrang, don't they? I think I'll skip that one, it's a bit, can't use it in London really.
End of Interview.

Paul: Oh, hi John. Do you got a light, John?
Male Interviewer: Why yes, Paul, I got a light. Paul, was sort of trip have you from, uh, Hong Kong?
Paul: It was okay, yes. It was very nice.
Male Interviewer: Very nice. Are you looking forward... oh, thank you! I freezed my...are you looking forward to your Australian tour?
Paul: I dunno... ummm, yes, it's lovely. I expected everybody to be here, though.
Male Interviewer: Well, it's early in the moring (Paul in background: It's 2 o'clock in the morning)... 2 o'clock in the morning. (Paul in backgound: Same time as here.)
Well, it's certainly been a wonderful
reception for you Paul and uh... I gather you're looking forward to this Australian tour just the same as the other ones.
Paul: Yeah. Not off, part true.
Male Interviewer: Hey, who do we have next?
Paul: There he is. This is John Lennon.
Male Interviewer: John Lennon, the leader of The Beatles. I'm John Edwards.
John: Hi John, good name that.
Male Interviewer: It's a wonderful name. When you've completed your tour of Australia, where going to then?
John: We go back to England. For the viewing of our film and then I think here after *laughs a bit* I have forgotten. Then we go to America and do a tour of Britain.
Male Interviewer: I suppose your alternating and so forth is to check up with all your managers to find out exactly where you're going and how.
John: Yeah. Well, we only have one manager and the rest are sort of road managers and things.

Male Interviewer: What did you think of your welcome today?
John: Very good. It was very nice of them coming out in all that rain.
George: Yeah, it was great.
Male Interviewer: Did you enjoy the ride?
All of them: Yeah...
John: It was funny standing out there in your new coat. *laugh*
George: Seen as they got soaked, you know, we didn't mind.
Male Interviewer: I appreciate you riding in the open cart (George in background: Thank you) because the kids had been waiting for you all night and they appreciate it.
John: Well, they deserved it, anyway, waiting all night.
Male Interviewer: Dripped in wet clothes, were you?
John: No, we thought it was going to be sunny.
Male Interviewer: You selected the name The Beatles, how did you arrive with this particular name?
George: Well, John got the name Beatles ages ago, you know, when we needed a name and everybody is thinking of a name and he thought of Beatles.
Male Interviewer: Why the B-E-A instead of the B-E-E?
George: well actually, you know...
John: Well, that would be a double E. It's hard enough to get people to understand why it was B-E-A. Nevermind. *laughter*
Male Interviewer: Paul, what do you expect to find here at the stadium?
Paul: Uh... (John in background: Australians) *lots of laughter* Right. Yeah, yeah.
Male Interviewer: Do you have an aknowledge leader of the group?
John: No, not really.
*laughter*
Male Interviewer: Paul we heard you stood on your head on the balcony outside, is that right?
Paul: No. It's obviously you heard rumors.
Male Interviewer: In Hong Kong, did you get full houses there?
