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
edit- [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
edit- [After seeing a smoking curling stone] Hey, it's a thingy! A fiendish thingy!
- Doesn't the Eastern flavour come rather expensive?
John Lennon
edit- 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
edit- 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?
