A Hard Day's Night Page #2

PAUL:

Oh, that's me other Grandfather, but

this one's me Grandfather and all.

JOHN:

How d'you reckon that one out?

PAUL:

Well... everyone's entitled to two,

aren't they, and this is me other

one.

JOHN:

(long suffering)

Well we know that but what's he doing

here?

PAUL:

Well, me mother thought the trip 'ud

do him good.

RINGO:

How's that?

PAUL:

Oh... he's nursing a broken heart.

The lads all look intently at the GRANDFATHER.

JOHN:

Aah... the poor old thing.

He leans across to GRANDFATHER.

JOHN:

Eh, Mister... are you nursing a broken

heart then?

The GRANDFATHER nods soulfully glares at him, in a way that

indicates yes.

PAUL:

(whispering)

You see, he was going to get married

but she threw him over for a butcher.

GEORGE:

A butcher?

PAUL:

Yeah, she was fickle.

JOHN:

Aye and fond of fresh meat and all.

PAUL:

(seriously)

No... it was his sweetbreads. She

was dead kinky for sweetbreads.

Anyroad, me mother thought it'ud

give him a change of scenery, like.

JOHN:

Oh, I see.

He inspects GRANDFATHER carefully.

JOHN:

(to PAUL)

Eh, he's a nice old man, isn't he?

PAUL:

Oh yeah, he's very clean, y'know.

They all agree with PAUL.

JOHN has been examining GRANDFATHER. He now leans forward to

him.
