Across The Universe
Is there anybody
Going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay
She's the kind of girl
You want so much
It makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
And then I might
Never be the lonely one
So hold me tight
Tonight
Tonight
It's you
Who will take me out next week?
You'll be halfway around the world.
Well, it better not be Phil Scully.
Come here.
I'll be back soon.
They give you a furlough
after boot camp.
And after that?
- Yeah. All right.
- Good night. I'll see you tomorrow.
All right, then.
Don't spend it all at once.
Last one for a while, eh, son?
- Last one ever, Cyril.
- I felt the same at your age.
I told myself, "When I'm 64,
I'll be long gone from this place."
- But I'm still here.
- Move it along.
Some of us are thirsty and
the pubs have been open five minutes.
Hi, Charlie.
You're gonna miss this place.
Don't count on it, Phil.
I've ironed your best shirts.
I'll be shoveling coal in a furnace,
Mum. I don't think I'll be wearing them.
You'll be wearing them
when you go ashore in America.
Yeah, well, that could be
months from now.
If you wanted a seafaring life...
...couldn't you have
signed up for the Mersey Ferry?
At least you'd be home
for your supper every night.
I sometimes feel
you're not telling me everything.
I just need a break
from the yard, Molly.
I'll be back before you know it.
Or do you need a break from me?
Is that what this is about?
Come here.
Close your eyes and I'll kiss ya
Tomorrow I'll miss ya
And remember I'll always be true
- Pull the other one.
- What?
And then while I'm away
You better.
And I'll send all my loving to you
You bastard.
- Bye, sweetheart!
- Bye!
Goodbye, Danny!
Bye.
- Go deep!
- Let's go...
...Wildcats!
All right, ladies, let's take a break.
Come on.
Yeah, I'll tell you somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I wanna hold your hand
Oh, please say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
Hop in.
Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.
Sorry. Excuse me.
Sh*t! Goddamn it.
Thanks, man.
Excuse me, you don't where I
could find Professor Huber, do you?
No such person.
Not that I'm aware of.
Professor Wesley Huber?
Listen, I've pissed off
every professor in Princeton...
...and he's not one of them.
Oh, wait a second,
there's a Wes Huber.
That's him right over there.
Can I have a word?
If you're looking for work here,
check with administration.
I got a job, thanks.
You sound like a limey.
I am, yeah.
I was stationed there during the war.
I had some good times.
Yeah, I know.
At Burtonwood, right?
How would you know that?
L... I believe I'm your son.
I don't think so.
Me mother's Martha Feeny.
How'd you track me down?
Through Army records.
If I would have known about you...
What? You would've come back,
is that it?
You know, she said that wouldn't
have proved that you loved her...
...only that you felt obligated.
Well, it would have been better
than raising a kid on her own.
Yeah, well, she wasn't the only one
in those days.
You could excuse a bastard by saying
his dad was killed in the war.
Did she find someone else?
There were a few hopefuls
over the years, yeah.
I think I scared them off.
- Listen, kid, l...
- It's Jude.
Jude.
I got a family.
I got a wife, I got two kids.
Yeah, look. Mr. Huber,
I didn't come here to derail your life.
You know? And I'm not here
for your love or your approval.
I'm just here so that we both...
Both know
that the other one exists.
All right.
- Fifteen bucks says you miss this shot.
- Fifty says your sister still marries me.
Yeah, well, maybe.
All right, window. Let's go.
- All right, ladies.
- There you go.
- Ready?
- Yep.
Okay.
Fore!
Run!
You missed!
- Whatever.
- It was the wind.
- Set me up.
- I believe in you.
You couldn't hit the barn side
of a broad, man. Come on.
There you go.
Fore!
Oh, yes! Yes! Yes!
- How do you like me now?
- We're gonna get you, a**hole!
How do you like me? Go to bed.
Go to bed, you ain't got nothing.
- Yeah, they're going back into...
- They're not going back to bed.
- No, they're not.
- Go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
They went this way. Come on!
Sh*t, I'm out of shape.
You're the guy who was
asking for the janitor, right?
Yeah.
So, what are you,
like the assistant janitor?
I'm just bunking down here,
you know, temporarily.
- Why?
- Why do you need to know?
You're wanted by the cops, huh?
FBI?
You know, it looks to me as though
you're the one who's on the run.
Yeah.
Thank you for that, by the way.
What would they have done
if they caught you?
I don't know. Something involving
genitalia and shoe polish.
- Nasty.
- Yeah.
- Where's that accent from?
- Same place as me. Liverpool.
And do you have a name?
Yeah.
- It's Jude.
- Max.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Well, Jude,
as a stranger to our shores...
...the least I can do is offer you
some lvy League hospitality.
Cheers.
Welcome to the nursery.
What would you do
If I sang out of tune
- Thank you.
And walk out on me?
- Hey. I'm Chris.
- Lend me your ears
- And I'll sing you a song
- Thanks.
- And I'll try not to sing out of key
- There we go. All right.
I get by
With a little help from my friends
He gets high
With a little help from his friends
- Take it easy, man.
- Hold it in.
I can't believe her.
I'm never having children.
- Really?
- No.
Think about it, it's pure narcissism.
I mean, people putting out little
carbon copies of themselves, going:
"Oh, doesn't he have
his father's eyes?
Doesn't he have his mother's lips?"
It's...
It's disgusting.
Well, what about adoption?
Luce!
Lucy!
Every night
When everybody has fun
Here am I
Sitting all on my own
It won't be long, yeah
Till I belong to you
Since you left me, I'm so alone
Now you're coming
You're coming on home
I'll be good like I know I should
- Do you know when?
- Next weekend.
He got a pass
before his outfit ships out.
I tell you, man,
this is my favorite time of day.
- Look at these. That one, she's cute.
- Emily!
- Look at these. That one, she's cute.
- Emily!
- Hey.
- Max!
Jailbait.
- How are you? Good.
- I'm good.
- Damn.
- Max, you're such a pervert.
What? Some of them
are kind of cute.
When did Emily get tits?
Emily.
This is Jude. I asked him over
for Thanksgiving.
We don't have it in England.
Is it...? Is it a big deal?
Well, it's a heartwarming
American tradition.
Yeah. It celebrates the time...
...when the Indians shared their food
with the early settlers.
And how did we repay them?
We slaughter them in thousands...
...and then ship them off
to the shittiest bits of real estate.
I'm Lucy.
I went to the closet under the stairs
and my clubs weren't there.
