Quotes 

• Astrid : Tell me something, John Lennon. When you are rich and famous, when you are number one, when your name is in lights and everybody wants to be your friend, when somebody asks you, "Do you remember Astrid in Hamburg?" what will you say?

  John Lennon : I'll say she was the girl I always wanted. The girl of me dreams, like Brigitte Bardot with better manners. I might have fallen in love with her. But she fell in love with me best friend. And that was the end of that.

  Astrid : I love him, John.

  [pauses] 

  Astrid : I do.

  John Lennon : Yeah. Don't we all?

• Astrid : How can you be such an asshole?

  John Lennon : Practice.
