One to One: John & Yoko

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,

John Lennon and Yoko Ono!

Whoo!

John: Good morning, folks.

Have you had your breakfast yet?

Presenter: I just want to open the microphones to you

to say anything you want to to New York City.

John: Well, uh, how you doing, New York City?

Yoko: It's a good old city, yes.

- John: It's a beautiful place. - Yoko: It's a beauty.

John: I just got to see the Village for the first time,

and it's really a groove.

There was a nice guy singing that the Pope smokes dope

and all those sort of songs in Washington Square.

It was beautiful, you know what I mean.

I really feel at home there.

Presenter: Yes?

Caller 1: I'd like to ask John a question.

Presenter: Sure.

- Caller 1: John? - John: Yeah?

Caller 1: I can't believe I'm speaking to a myth.

- John: A myth? - Caller 1: Yeah.

John: Myth World or Myth Universe?

Caller 1: Can I speak to Yoko, please?

- Yoko: I'm here. (chuckles) - Caller 1: Yoko?

- Yoko: Yes. - Caller 1: I thought

I'd tell you that you're very beautiful.

Yoko: Oh, that's very sweet of you.

I'm sure my husband loves that.

- Presenter: Good morning. - Caller 2: Good morning.

Recently I've been wondering

exactly how The Beatles are as people.

John: Well, The Beatles don't exist anymore.

I don't want to recreate the past.

You know, I wanna be me now.

Caller 2: Right, well, having you in New York, like,

- for the past week or so... - John: Yeah.

...and listening to you and Yoko on the radio...

- John: Yeah. - ...it's really...

it's really hitting home that

you really are people, you know.

- (sirens wailing) - (horns honking)

Howard: I'm sitting here talking

with John and Yoko on their bed.

John: This bed we inherited from the previous owner

used to be a ch... made out of church pews.

- Howard: Oh, I see. - John: Isn't that fascinating?

So we're in a very holy bed here, Howard,

and the three of us are on the bed.

- All dressed, of course. - (Yoko chuckles)

We're very comfortable here,

especially like having TV, you know,

- 24 hours a day or something. - John: Suits me fine.

- Suits me fine. - (Yoko chuckles)

Howard: What are your favorite programs?

John: I just like TV, you know.

To me it replaced the fireplace when I was a child.

And if you want to know what 20 million Americans

are talking about on Saturday night,

it's what they saw on Friday night on TV.

It's a window on the world.

Whatever it is, that's that image of ourselves

that we're portraying.

Ain't nothing dead about us. We ain't gonna die.

- Man: 'Nough said. - We are not dying here.

A very famous choral group will now entertain us.

And if the music is square, it's because I like it square.

President Nixon,

stop bombing human beings, animals and vegetation.

You go to church on Sundays and pray to Jesus Christ.

If Jesus Christ were here tonight,

you would not dare drop another bomb.

Bless the Berrigans and bless Daniel Ellsberg.

See... see, um,

Nixon will find anything he needs to enhance his power.

The fact is, is there's got to be polarization in the country.

There's gotta be po... Wait, listen. I get two sentences out,

and you act like you're going to the toilet,

you know. It's "Uh, uh, uh, uh."

Listen, why don't you shut up and let me talk.

You invited me down here, you said,

"You've gotta come here. We have no music, we have no guests.

If you don't come, we have no guests."

Now you ask me a question, you keep quiet.

Maybe the punchline will contain your answer, you know?

- So don't be so constipated. - Phil Donahue: I'm just...

Don't be so constipated. "I'm just, I'm just."

Just relax.

- I'm disappointed. You're so... - I'm disappointed in you.

You're so incapable of functioning...

I'm totally incapable. I'm a misfit.

Haven't you realized? I'm a misfit.

I don't fit into this plastic TV show

with this plastic TV personality.

I don't fit into that.

Colored and permanent press.

I'm sorry.

Well, I've been using this Clorox 2 All Fabric Bleach.

Maybe it'll work...

Weberman: Here I am at Dylan's garbage.

It's quite a while after the garbage article came out,

so I really don't expect to find anything.

Hmm.

"Progresso Italian peeled tomatoes."

Ah, not bad. Not bad.

"Thomas's English muffins."

That's a big plug for Thomas's English muffins.

Let's see what else is there.

Clorox!

Dylan uses Clorox.

Oh, The Daily News.

The Daily News.

That makes a lot of sense.

Judging from Dylan's politics lately,

he's been reading the Daily News.

Let's see what else is there.

Uh, a syringe.

A needle.

- Operator: 8071. - John: Is Howard there, please?

Operator: This is his service.

John: Oh, look, could you tell him John Lennon called?

Operator: L-E-N-N-O-N.

Uh-huh.

- L-E-N-N-O-N. - John: O-N.

Operator: Are you a member of The Beatles?

- John: That's right, yeah. - Operator: Oh, you are?

- John: Yeah. - Operator: Oh. Okay, then.

John: He has my number. Thank you. Bye-bye.

News Reporter: The attack is still going on here

at Attica State Prison.

We've all been gassed.

I've been gassed.

It's an awful scene.

William Kunstler has said

that people are dying in there, and...

I agree with that. I think people are dying in there.

And the scene is...

I'm gonna cut this off.

Narrator: The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.

The queen...

I mean, the British press actually called

Yoko ugly in the papers,

and I've never seen that about any woman or man.

Even if a person is ugly,

you don't normally sort of say it in the paper,

you know, "That ugly woman." And she's not ugly.

And if she was, you wouldn't be so mean.

They even say 'attractive' about the most awful-looking people

- just to be kind. - (audience laughing)

Anchor: This is a CBS News Special Report.

The President in China.

Here's a man that I know very little about,

other than what I have read in newspapers and magazines,

and what I have heard on television.

And, quite honestly, my feelings are quite negative.

But John wanted this young man on the show.

- Co-host: Who is it? - It's Jerry Rubin.

Jerry Rubin, yeah.

What is the new Jerry Rubin thinking about these days?

I'm glad you asked that.

Uh, we're gonna support Nixon for president

because by going to China, he's furthering

Communist revolutions throughout the world.

I'm just kidding. I'm really just kidding.

I'm really just kidding.

What he's really done is automate the war in Vietnam

so that it's machines killing people.

Created a situation where 43 people

can be murdered at Attica. Um, created a situation

where four kids can be killed at Kent State

and people are afraid, scared.

Mike: You really believe he created that situation?

The atmosphere in the country is one of just death.
