Here’s some fun I had creating a dialogue with Beatles’ song titles and lyrics. Feel free to sing out the words like I did!

Jim: She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.

Tim: Who?

Jim: Your old girlfriend, Eleanor Rigby.

Tim: What did she want?

Jim: She wanted to know where you are. She said, “I Want to Hold your Hand.”

Tim: My hand?

Jim: She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Tim: Where did she come from?

Jim: She lives on Penny Lane.

Tim: She must have moved. Where’s that?

Jim: It’s somewhere near a Long and Winding Road.

Tim: How did she get here? Did she drive?

Jim: Nope. She’s got A Ticket to Ride.

Tim: We had a thing for a while.

Jim: She’s mad how it ended. “Don’t Let Me Down again,” she said.

Tim: Well, it had to be, but she is very attractive.

Jim: It’s Something in the Way She Moves.

Tim: I don’t know if I want to do this again with her.

Jim: She said she wants to Get Back to Where You Once Belonged.

Tim: Maybe I should just give her a couple bucks and send her on her way.

Jim: She knew you’d say that. She said to tell you, “You Can’t Buy Me Love.”

Tim: How long did she say she’d be around?

Jim: Eight Days a Week.

Tim: I remember where we met.

Jim: So does she and she wants to go back with you and live by those Strawberry Fields Forever.

Tim: I don’t know, but she can be very convincing.

Jim: I think you’re right. She started singing Love Me Do. You know I love you.

Tim: So, what now?

Jim: I invited the two of you to dinner. Come Together.

Tim: I really don’t think she’s the one for me.

Jim: All You Need is Love.

Tim: Well, is that what happened when you and your Suzy met?

Jim: Not exactly. We got together with a Little Help from My Friends. It didn’t work out.

Tim: Does Eleanor have a job?

Jim: She said she’s a Paperback Writer. She publishes romance novels.

Tim: And she arrived last night?

Jim: She’s a Day Tripper, but she got in late. It was a Hard Day’s Night for her.

Tim: She was a bit of a head case when we had dated.

Jim: She said she’s got it All Together Now.

Tim: You know we broke up when we were on vacation that time.

Jim: I know. That happened Back in the USSR.

Tim: Did she date anyone after me?

Jim: Yes, He lived on top of a mountain. But they broke up. She called him the Fool on the Hill and said he was a real Nowhere Man.

Tim: Where has she been living?

Jim: Here, There, and Everywhere.

Tim: Did you actually see her come through your bathroom window?

Jim: Not exactly. I heard a noise and I opened the door and I Saw Her Standing There.

Tim: We were always trying to figure each other out.

Jim: She mentioned that too. She said dating you was like being on a Magical Mystery Tour.

Tim: We went to a pub one night and this band kept playing sad music. I got so depressed, I wanted to break up with her right then and there.

Jim: I know that group, the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. She’s been upset ever since. She said she had never been in love Til There Was You. I said to her that you two might not be able to get over the problems you had before but she said, “We Can Work It Out.”

Tim: Tell her she should go back home. I need more time to think about all this.

Jim: She knew you were going to say that, too. You are a procrastinator. He’ll call me When I’m 64, she said.

Tim: She’d want to live out west somewhere but I like it here. We always argued about that.

Jim: She’d live in a Yellow Submarine or an Octopus’s Garden as long as she could be together with you again.

Tim: It seems like a long time ago I was with her.

Jim: Not to her, it doesn’t. She told me it seems like Yesterday when all her troubles seemed so far away, but without you, now It looks as though they’re here to stay.

Tim: Every time I tried to tell her we weren’t going to make it, she would make fun and say …

Jim: I know. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.

Tim: Her middle name is Judy. I call her Jude.

Jim: Yup. You used to say, “Hey, Jude, take a sad song and make it better.” She really liked that.

Tim: I don’t think I want to see her again.

Jim: Well, it’s way past midnight. In a couple hours, Here Comes the Sun.

Tim: You know I have dreams about her and then Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom and tells me to Let It Be.

Jim: Well, she grabbed me and said, “Help! I need somebody, not just anybody. Help me if you can I’m feeling down. Won’t you please, please help me?”

Tim: And that’s why she came in through your bathroom window, and not mine. Don’t you get it? Have her for dinner and by the end of the night, you’ll find out She Loves You!

Jim: By the way, everything I said about her I made up. She wants nothing to do with you anymore. The first thing she said to me in my bathroom was, “I Got to Get You into My Life!”
