Transcript

Lennon: Johnny Cash, or all the rest of them.

Dylan: I have Johnny Cash in my film. Are you gonna shit yourself when you see it. You won't believe it.

Lennon: Hey! John's gonna shit again!

Dylan: He doesn't know. You know what he looks like, right, Johnny Cash? Have you spent much time around him? He moves great. He moves like that... You gotta cut that part of the film, man, 'cos I really like him. He moves like all good people. Like prize fighters. (Smiles directly to camera) Johnny!

Lennon: Johnny! Big River, Big River! You know...

Pennebaker: (Putting head around camera and beaming) That's for Johnny, too!

Dylan: Yeah, he's on film too. He's incredible.

Lennon: Quite a guy, huh?

Dylan: Quite a guy, John. Oh man, you shoulda been around last night, John. Today's a drag.

Lennon: Oh really, Bob?

Dylan: Haha! I wish I could talk English, man.

Lennon: Me too, Bobby.

Dylan: (Pointing to Lennon) He can talk American. (To Tom) Hey, Tom, you've heard me talk in English haven't you? But I can't never do it around John though because (behind back of hand) John's such a great actor, man, that...

Lennon: ...you can't believe that it's me.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Dylan: Remember when I played you those tapes? Do you remember what you said to me? I played you a song and you said...what's he name of your song publishing company?

Lennon: Dick James.

Dylan: No, no. Is that the name of it? That wasn't the name I heard.

Lennon: Northern Songs?

Dylan: Right, that was it. I said, What's Northern Songs? And I was never told, man. I had to go and find out.

Lennon: Didn't they tell you?

Dylan: No, man, they didn't tell me. Someone said, You wanna be on Northern Songs and you laughed and Paul McCartney looked the other way and talked to Ringo...

Lennon: ...and Mick Jagger...

Dylan: ...blew shit from his nose...

Lennon: ...and Rob Roy leapt into the room with a big kilt on and said, Hey, Bobby, have you heard this one?

Dylan: Haha! You haven't lived in Texas, man. I read in the paper that George Harrison spends a lot of time in the States. You've learned a lot from George.

Lennon: Tell me about The Mamas & Pappas, Bob. I believe you're backing them bigly.

Dylan: I knew it would get to that. I knew it would get to that. Naw. You're just interested in the big chick, right? She's got hold of you too... of you too. She's got a hold of everybody I know. Everybody asks me the same thing. you're terrible, man.

Lennon: Do you know Ralph Donner? He's another great one.

Dylan: No, I only know the lesser known ones.

Lennon: Barry McGuire's a great war hero.

Dylan: Barry McGuire? He's a good friend of yours, John, I understand.

Lennon: He met me through you, Bob, remember that. He's a great buddy, Sergeant Barry.

Dylan: Barry McGuire tells me he's a great friend of yours.

Lennon: Well, I hate to say this about Barry, Bobby, but I don't know him at all personally, but I did have a letter from his manager saying he was very close to you, being on the bosom of the current folk-a-rock-a boom.

Dylan: Yes, yes.

Lennon: That's the first thing I did hear about Barry himself.

Dylan: But you've never really exchanged correspondence.....
