Help! (film)
Help! is the title of a 1965 film starring The Beatles.
In the film, Ringo is wearing a sacrificial ring that won't come off of his finger. The cult that the ring belongs to chases Ringo and the other Beatles from Britain, to the Alps, to the Bahamas, trying the whole way to sacrifice Ringo to their god.
- Written by Marc Behm and Charles Wood. Directed by Richard Lester.
Stop worrying! HELP! is on the way!
Ringo Starr
- [At the man standing on his head] Is it nasty this ring?
- I like operations. They give you a sense of outlook, don't they?
- Get sacrificed! I don't subscribe to your religion!
- They have to paint me red before they chop me. It's a different religion than ours...I think.
- (regarding a broken ladder) All the rungs have been neatly sawed in the middle!
- [on the phone] Hello, this is the famous Ringo.
George Harrison
- [After seeing a smoking curling stone] Hey, it's a thingy! A fiendish thingy!
- Doesn't the Eastern flavour come rather expensive?
John Lennon
- Jeweller, you've failed!
- Scientist! You've failed Scientist!
- [Watching a man standing on his head] Doesn't the blood rush to your head, sir?
- Now see what you've done with your filthy Eastern ways!
Paul McCartney
- My skin's soaked right through to the skin!
- Ew, I'm all sticky! You're all red.
- [Watching a belly dancer] Doesn't the blood rush to your stomach?

- [Beatles nod and smile]
- Superintendent: And how far do you think you'll get?
- John: Can't say fairer than that. Great Train Robbery, how's that going, eh?
- Superintendent: Allow me, I'm a bit of a famous mimic in my own small way you know. James Cagney... [imitating Ringo on the phone] Hey, this is the famous Ringo here, gear fab...

- [John is having a bowl of soup]
- John: What's this? [Pulling out a slip of paper]

- Ringo: What was it that first attracted you to me?
- John: Well, you're very polite, aren't you?
- Ringo: The fire brigade once got my head out of some railings.
- John: Did you want them to?
- Ringo: No. I used to put it there when I wasn't using it for school. You can see a lot of the world from railings.
