Lennon Naked Page #4

Synopsis: In 1964 a reluctant John Lennon is persuaded by manager Brian Epstein to meet Freddie, the father who abandoned him 17 years earlier, with the press in attendance. The meeting is short and bitter. Three years later Epstein is dead and John invites Freddie to his mansion but again things turn sour, due to Freddie's drinking and insulting Mimi, the aunt who raised John. The Beatles set up Apple records but the press are hostile and Lennon's comment that 'we're more popular than Jesus' doesn't help. Rows with long-suffering wife Cynthia lead to marital breakdown and John's meeting Japanese performance artist Yoko Ono. Family history is repeated as Lennon leaves Cynthia and their son Julian for Ono, by whom he has a second son, Sean. In 1969 John returns his M.B.E. in protest at England's support for the Vietnam War while his stunts with Yoko Ono to promote peace alienate the press. Some months later he disbands the Beatles to the other members' annoyance and, after arguments with Paul McC

I was trying to find a boozer,

took a bit of a shortcut.

Come on.

I thought this was a path.

Do you think I've got nothing better

to do than babysit you?

That's a laugh, I hardly ever see you.

Oh, is that what this is about?

Oh, well, I'm sorry, John,

if I've embarrassed you

in front of your snooty

sodding neighbours.

But where you live is a maze,

there's not a boozer for miles.

I'm rattling around

in that house of yours

on me own half the time.

Feel like the nutter in the attic.

I like people around me, John.

You know, I want to have a good time.

Well, you've come to the wrong place.

So what are you doing here?

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

I've met someone, John.

-That's where I was going, to see her.

-Sod off, then.

She's 1 9.

-You're 54.

-I know.

I keep saying to her, go find yourself

some young good-looking fella

but she won't have it.

-What's her name?

-Pauline.

I hope I'm still shagging

You're a Lennon, aren't you?

I am, yeah, and you're a dirty old goat.

(CHUCKLES)

She's the reason I was thinking

about getting me own place, John.

Doesn't have to be far.

Ah, come on, John!

-You know as well...

-You're putting it on me again?

You what?

F***ing off and saying it was my fault?

I never said it was your fault, John.

Not now and not then. I said...

Talk to the office,

they'll sort you out.

TV REPORTER:
Infinite happiness,

Maharishi insists,

Iies deep within everyone.

He doesn't require you

to give anything up,

except drugs and a week's salary,

in the Beatles' case,

around $ 1 1, 000 apiece.

To attend this s, they have to have

a deep and clear experience of being.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Thank you very much for coming.

We've got a limited amount of time,

so if you keep your questions brief,

we'll try to get through

as many of you as possible. Yes.

Yeah, why did you come back from India

in such a hurry?

Well, the plane wouldn't fly any slower.

JOHN:
It was a mistake.

-What do you mean a mistake?

-We made a mistake.

Do you think other people are making

a mistake to go and see him now?

That's up to them.

How would you characterise your mistake?

We're human, you know, that's all.

We thought there was more to him

than there was, you know.

We thought... But he's just human.

And for a while we thought

he wasn't, you know.

We thought he was, you know...

You know...

Do you have any new

philosophical leaders?

JOHN:
No.

JOURNALIST:
Can we get on to Apple,

that's what we've come here to...

Why Apple Corps?

We just thought, what shall we call it?

Apple, Apple Corps.

It's a play on words.

Is business a subject for humour?

Anything's a subject for humour.
