It's a certain class of people, its a class of people that take the magazine seriously, I mean sure I can read it, you know, I read it , I get it on the airplanes but I don't take it seriously. If I want to find out anything, I'm not gunna read TIME magazine, I'm not gunna read Newsweek, I'm not gunna read any of these magazines, I mean cause they just got to much to lose by printing the truth. You know that.

- Bob Dylan: I'm not angry. I'm delightful.
- Bob Dylan: All right. I don't care who did it. If you know who did it, you just better tell whoever did it, to get out there and tell the cats that come up here to ask who did it, tell 'em who it was.

- Journalist 1: Do you think that a lot of the young people, who buy your records ,understand a single word of what you're singing?

- Journalist 1: You reckon they do?
- Bob Dylan: Sure.
- Journalist 2: Why do you say they do? How do can you be so sure?

- Journalist: Right away, I hate 'em!
- Alan Price: He's all right... He's not a fake. He's all right.
- Journalist: [on the phone, calling in his story] Sentence. He is not so much singing as sermonizing. Colon. His tragedy perhaps is that the audience is preoccupied with song. Paragraph. So the bearded boys and the lank haired girls all eye shadow and undertaker makeup applaud the songs and miss perhaps the sermons. They are there. Colon. They are with it. Sentence.
- Bob Dylan: Either be groovy or leave, man. You don't have to be goovy for me. Just be groovy for anybody who you want to be groovy for.
- Donovan: [singing] When the night has left you cold and feeling sad, I will show you that it cannot be so bad, Forget the one who went and made you cry. I'll sing a song for you, That's what I'm here to do, To sing for you.
- Bob Dylan: Hey, that's a good song, man.
- Donovan: [singing] When you feel you just can't make it anymore, With your head bowed down and you're staring at the floor, Search out to me with your weary eyes, I'll sing a song for you...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last, But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast, Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun, Look out, the saints are coming through, And it's all over now, baby blue...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] Some of the people can be half right part of the time, All of the people can be part right some of the time, Half the people can be part right all of the time, But, all of the people can't be all right all of the time, T.S. Elliot said that, I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in your dream, I said that.

- Bob Dylan: How could I answer that if you've got the nerve to ask me? You've a lot of nerve asking me a question like that. Do you ask The Beatles that?

- Journalist: I like Caruso better.
- Bob Dylan: Ah, well, you see right there, now. Right there we have a little disagreement. I happen to be just as good as him. A good singer. You have to listen closely. But, I hit all those notes.
- Bob Dylan: [singing] I ain't lookin' to compete with you, Beat or cheat or mistreat you, Simplify you, classify you, Deny, defy or crucify you, All I really want to doooooooooo, Is, baby, be friends with you...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks, And the hoofbeats pound in his brain...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] Come gather 'round, people, Wherever you roam, And admit that the waters, Around you have grown, And accept it that soon, You'll be drenched to the bone, If your time to you is worth savin', And you better start swimmin', Or you'll sink like a stone, For the times they are a-changin'...
- Journalist: [on the phone, calling in his story] Paragraph. The times they are a changing sings Dylan. They are when a poet and not a pop singer fills a hall.

- Fan: Do you believe in...
- Bob Dylan: I don't believe in anything. No. I just don't believe in anything? I don't see anything to believe in.
- Fan: Are you a cynic?
- Bob Dylan: No! I'm not cynical. I just don't - I can't see anything anyones offered me to believe that I believe that I'm going to put all my trust and faith and everything. Nothing is sacred, man.
- Bob Dylan: Take that girl off our car, please. Hey, please take her off the car. You got to get her off. Hey, you get that girl off our car?
- Bob Dylan: I don't think I'm a folk singer and you'll probably call me a folk singer. But, you know, the other people will know better. Because the people that, you know, buy my records and listen to me don't necessarily read TIME magazine.
- Bob Dylan: Every word has it's little letter and big letter, like the word know. You know, the word know, k-n-o-w. Okay. You know the word know, Capital K-n-o-w. Like each of us really knows nothing. Right? But, we all think we know things. But, we really know nothing.
- Bob Dylan: [singing] And you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears, Take the rag away from your face, Now ain't the time for your tears...
- Joan Baez: [singing] Bad news, bad news came to me where I sleep, Turn, turn, turn again, Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep, Turn, turn to the rain and the wind...
- Joan Baez: [singing] "My experience was limited and underfed, You were talking while I hid, To the one who was the father of your kid, You probably didn't think I did, but I heard, You say that love is just a four-letter word." Do you have any more Bobby?
- Bob Dylan: No, I never finished it.
- Joan Baez: Oh, God. You finished it about eight different ways.
- Bob Dylan: Yeah, that's a good song.
- Joan Baez: Beautiful! If you finish it, I'll sing it on a record.
- Bob Dylan, Joan Baez: [singing] You started going down that lost highway.
- Bob Neuwirth: No, no, no, there's another verse. I'm a rollin' stone.
- Bob Dylan: Oh yeah.
- Bob Dylan, Joan Baez: [singing] I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost, For a life of sin I've paid the cost, Take my advice or you'll curse the day, You started going down that lost highway.
- Bob Dylan: What about the
- [singing]
- Bob Dylan: Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, He sounds too blue to cry, That midnight train is rollin' away, I'm so lonesome I could cry...
- Joan Baez: Oh, God. I'm sleepy. I'm fagging out.
- Bob Neuwirth: Let me tell you sister, you fagged out a long time ago. You fagged out before you even thought you were fagging out.
- Bob Dylan: What song is that?
- Alan Price: George Formby did it. He's the one who did "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter."
- Bob Dylan: I've heard it bye Herman and the Hermits.
- Bob Dylan: [singing] The vagabond who's rapping at your door, Is standing in the clothes that you once wore, Strike another match, go start anew...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] Ramona, come closer, Shut softly your watery eyes, The pangs of your sadness, Will pass as your senses will rise...
- Bob Dylan: [singing] And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe, Like you never did before, And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe, I can't hear you any more, 'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' wallkin' all the way down the road, I once loved a woman, a child I am told, I give her my heart but she wanted my soul...
- Bob Dylan: This must be a very old theater, huh?
- Female Companion: Sure. Victoria died in 1894.
- Bob Neuwirth: Queen Victoria built it for her - dude.
- Bob Dylan: Are you going to see the concert tonight? Are you going to hear it? Okay. You hear it and see it and it's going to happen fast. And you're to going to get it all. And you might even hear the wrong words, you know. And then, afterwards, I won't be able to talk to you afterwards. I got nothing to say about these things I write. I mean, I just write 'em! I don't have to say anything about 'em. I don't write for any reason. There's no great message. I mean, if you want to tell other people that, go ahead and tell 'em! But, I'm not gonna have to answer to it.
- Bob Dylan: I know more about what you do, and you don't even have to ask me how or why or anything, just by looking, you know, than you'll ever know about me, ever. I mean, I could tell you, I could tell you I'm not a folksinger and explain to you why. But, you wouldn't really understand.
