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.
