Across the Universe

Jude Feeny:
If everybody is nobody, then somebody could be anybody.

JoJo:
Music is the only thing that makes sense anymore... play it loud enough and it keeps the demons at bay.

Sadie:
Well, you seem pretty clean-cut, but then again you might've murdered your granny with a hammer

Max:
Why isn't the issue here who I am?

Uncle Teddy:
Because, Maxwell, what you do defines who you are.

Max:
No, Uncle Teddy, who you are defines what you do, right Jude?

Jude:
Surely it's not what you do, but it's the...the way that you do it.

Jude:
[to Lucy] My god you... you have perfect teeth. No, no. You do -- they're perfect. You know, people in Liverpool only seldom do. They stick out in all different directions. It's horrible.

Lucy:
Haven't you ever heard of braces?

Jude:
Yes I have, thank you very much. We use them to keep our trousers up.

Jude:
What are you going to do if you don't go back to college?

Max:
What any irresponsible, unmotivated, drop-out would do. Go to New York, like tonight.

Sadie:
You got a good memory for faces?

Max:
Yeah, I think so. Why?

Sadie:
There's no mirror in your bathroom.

Sadie:
[upon seeing Prudence for the first time] Where'd she come from?

Jude:
She came in through the bathroom window.

Army Sergeant:
Is there any reason you shouldn't serve in this man's Army?

Max:
I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung.

Army Sergeant:
As long as you don't have flat feet...

Hippie:
[after hearing Max wants to avoid the draft] You still have options man.

Max:
Yeah, jail or Canada and they both suck. I mean I could never come home, so what is it, it's a choice of a 6x4 cell or an endless wasteland of frozen tundra.

Hippie:
Montreal is cool.

Max:
Man, they speak French there.

Groupie:
So learn French. Learn French or die.

Lucy:
I would gladly lay in front of a tank if it would bring back Max and end this war.

Jude:
Yeah? well it wouldn't.

Lucy:
We're in the middle of a revolution Jude. And what are you doing? Doodles and cartoons?

Jude:
Well I'm sorry I'm not the man with the mega-phone, but this is what I do.

All you need is love.

From director Julie Taymor comes the most original, exhilarating, spectacular, groundbreaking motion picture of the year.

They lived without rules. They loved without fear. But as the world changed, so did they.

Within the lyrics of the world's most famous songs, lives a story that has never been told. Until now.

Max:
[walking in and seeing Lucy and Jude in bed together] So that's how it is?

Jude:
[They both wake up and Lucy starts laughing a little] Yeah. That's how it is.

Max:
Well, speaking as a brother, I think she could do better.

Lucy:
Max? Get out!

Max:
Well I'm sorry, but, as blissful as you are in the throes of young love, I'm just letting you know I have a date with Uncle Sam.

Jude:
Where are we going?

Lucy:
Out of our minds!

Jude:
Where are you taking me?

Lucy:
Down the rabbit hole!

Jude:
But I wanted to feed the cows!

Max Carrigan:
Come on, Luce. We've got to do something with him, he's a sailor on leave! He needs a bar, a brawl, and a brothel!

Dr. Robert:
We're navigators, we're aviators, eatin' taters, masturbatin' alligators, bombardiers, we got no fears, won't shed no tears, we're pushin' the frontiers of transcendental perception.
