Paul's reaction after an interviewer asks George a disrespectful question (in two alternate angles):

John: Look George, George—

Paul: There's a question for you.

George: I can't hear 'em...

Interview: I said does George feel like he's not as popular as the others?

Paul: loudly scoffs and eye-rolls

John: He goes a bomb* in Sweden.

George: Not really and, you know, it doesn't really bother me.

Paul: We love you toooo.

George: As long as the group's popular.

Paul: He is pop—he is popular anyway.

Paul: Cunts.

*Quick edit: in the Beatles Interviews Database, they said John called George a 'bum in Sweden'. However, as pointed out by a few users, it is more likely that John called George a 'bomb' instead. This could be related to 'cost a bomb', which is British slang for being very expensive, but it could also relate to 'goes like a bomb', meaning that something is very successful or popular. Thus, it's most likely that John was standing up for George as well.

Only Paul ever smiled [in early photographs], the diplomat as ever. John wouldn't do anything he didn't want to do, but Paul even in those early days could have earned a living in public relations. He would work his back-side off in potentially explosive situations in order to keep things on an even keel, unless of course he was the instigator which was rare.

NY, August 28 1964, George meets Mary

The Beatles finally took the stage at 9.50pm after four opening acts. The strict security measures didn't deter Mary Smith, a seventeen-year-old from Connecticut who had told her parents she was babysitting that night. before the show, she had sneaked her way into the vip section. When the Beatles were onstage, she simply climbed the stairs. "I'm not sure George saw me coming," she recalled, "So when i put my arms around him, he was at once surprised, terrified and seemed to be screaming." Dozens of other fans, some crying uncontrollably, other nearly comatose were treated in a red cross tent on the grounds.
