Beginning of November, 2007 finally marks the official DVD
release of "Help!" and in honor of this, a German-language interview, translated but with odd German-to-English grammar by
the reporter. Sorry. ;). Also, I edited out the reporter's translations of the Beatles' answers into German.
But, now, read on...
March 1965 - Salzburg, Austria
Q: Hello, welcome in Austria.
Paul: Thank you very much, same to you.
Q: You have a nice weather.
Paul: Ja, danke schön. - Yes, thank you.
Q: Who was skiing from you? John, you was skiing?
John: Yes, I was skiing.
Q: In Davos?
John: No, in St. Moritz.
Q: In St. Moritz?
John: Ja.
Q: And you'll be skiing in Obertauern again?
John: I hope so.
Q: I hope for good luck!
John: Thank you!
...Now onto the press conference at the "Österreichischer Hof"...
Q: Ringo, you never was skiing in your life?
Ringo: Never.
Q: Did you hear, on the Obertauern, where you go now and make a picture, was last week
an avalanche...
Ringo: Somebody said there's one now and that's why we can't go yet. We have to wait till
six o'clock.
Q: Are you not afraid of avalances?
Ringo: No. It's like going on a plane, you know. Just the same chance.
...
Q: Do you speak some German?
Ringo: No, not really. Only a few words: please, how
are you...
Q: [To John] How many income tax have you paid last year?
John: A lot?
Q: A lot or too much?
John: Zu viel! [Too much]
