They are aided by Larry Dubois (Marc McClure) – their "chauffeur" – and tough guy Tony Smerko (Bobby Di Cicco), who is annoyed that the Beatles are supplanting American acts on the charts and on the radio, but who tags along, just the same.

“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
