On the train ride back to New York, while the camera team from Granada shoots film for their documentary, Ringo begins to slither around and under seats like an ape.

Next, Ringo, with a dozen cameras around his neck pushes through the crowd, shouting, ‘Excuse me! Life magazine! Exclusive! I am a camera!’
Then George climbs up into the baggage rack above the seat and plays dead.

Then Ringo scuttles through the car wearing a blond fur coat and a lady’s white fur hat.
Then George, wearing the porter’s hat and white coat, comes in with a tray of empty coke tins.
At the other end of the car Paul is flamboyantly taking pictures out of the window and shouting, ‘God, how artistic! Railway lines!’

The camera keeps filming; Life, Newsweek, and the Saturday Evening Post keep taking notes, and John occasionally looks up and mutters, ‘Funny, very funny.’
