Stu Sutcliffe Quotes in Birth of the Beatles (1979)

Stu Sutcliffe: I've made up me mind. Tonight, I'm leaving.

John Lennon: But you're a Beatle! We're nothing without you.

Stu Sutcliffe: You need someone who can give you the pulse you need... who can crow with you... and that's not me. Besides, I've decided to stay here. Astrid and I are getting married. I'm going back to art school.

John Lennon: When are you going to see a doctor?

Stu Sutcliffe: I don't need a doctor! I'm in love.

John Lennon: Look, don't mention it to the others about leaving till after the record date this week, then that'll give you time to think it over.

Stu Sutcliffe: I'm not going to play that date.

John Lennon: But it's our first record session, Stu!

Stu Sutcliffe: Oh, come on Johnny! You're going backup for some German label. It's not like it's our own record or anything. Besides, I'm tired of seeing the way anyone who knows smiles when they see me playing.

John Lennon: Stu, you always told me you'd tell me the truth, and I count on you for that. Do you think we've got a chance?

Stu Sutcliffe: I think you can go anywhere you want. What you need is to show something different to people. It takes time. Your only mistake was putting me on bass. I'll be off, then.

John Lennon: I wish you'd play on that session, Stu. It could be our only record together.

John Lennon: Where are we going, fellas?

Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stu Sutcliffe: To the top!

John Lennon: What top?

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stu Sutcliffe: To the Very Top!
