Mark David Chapman
- John Lennon: [Signing an album for Mark David Chapman] Is that all?
- Mark David Chapman: [Stunned and shaky] Yeah. Thanks.
- John Lennon: You sure? That's all?
- Mark David Chapman: Yes. That's all. Thanks John.
- John Lennon: You're welcome.
- [Turns and leaves]
- Mark David Chapman: Everyone needs something, to find something. Everyone is cracked and broken. You have to find something to fix you, to give you what you need, to take you away and make you whole.
- Mark David Chapman: [Shaking five-year-old Sean Lennon's hand] I flew all the way across the ocean from Hawaii, and it is an honour to meet you Mr. Lennon.
- [first lines]
- Mark David Chapman: I believe in Holden Caulfield. And in the book, and what he was saying, what he was saying to a lost generation of phony people.
- Mark David Chapman: Good morning, do you know if John Lennon is coming out today? I... I got his new album, and I was hoping to get his autograph.
- Second Doorman: I can't help you.
- Mark David Chapman: [after a pause] Look, I understand, I know how it is, but I've been waiting for two days already, and it's just... I really want to meet him.
- Second Doorman: The thing is I'm not the regular doorman here, so I don't know much about John Lennon.
- Mark David Chapman: I knew it. I knew it, I knew it was something like that. Hah!
- Mark David Chapman: You like rock & roll?
- Cabbie #2: Yeah.
- Mark David Chapman: You like the Beatles?
- Cabbie #2: Sure I do.
- Jude: We were going to see a movie, wanna come?
- Mark David Chapman: [Snorts with laughter] No. I can't stand the movies. They're just so phony.
- Mark David Chapman: I'll bet you guys are waiting for somebody, huh? Hey, do you know... is he home?
- Jude: I don't know. He's somewhere in New York City.
- Mark David Chapman: [excited] Oh my God! I can't believe I'm standing right here!
- Jude: You are!
- Mark David Chapman: You've gotta understand, I've been a Beatles fan since I was a kid, and John is... was the genius behind them.
- Jude: Do you like his new album?
- Mark David Chapman: He has a new album?
- Jude: Yeah, silly!
- Mark David Chapman: Oh no, wait. I read about that. It's, um, double...
- Jeri: Double Fantasy.
- Mark David Chapman: Double Fantasy!
- Jude: It's amazing. It's really real.
- Jeri: It's flawless, really. Flawless.
- Mark David Chapman: I know. I came all the way from Hawaii just to get his autograph.
- Jude: You know, you should buy it. You should buy it and ask John to sign it.
- Mark David Chapman: [narration] That's all I wanna tell you about. I could tell you about how they took me down to the police station, and paraded me in front of the media and all. And how they put me in this goddamn place, and how things got really crazy for a while, but I'm not interested in any of that stuff anymore. It's not important. They keep asking me if I really think I am the catcher in the rye. It's such a stupid question. It's dumb, I swear to God it is. I know no matter what anybody says, I have the strength and knowing the paragraphs and sentences of that book were flowing through my brain, and entering my blood... influencing my thoughts, my actions. My very soul was breathing between the pages of The Catcher in the Rye. I was there for three days, and it was a Monday pretty near Christmas in New York City. And now I'm here. Sitting right here. Talking to you.
- Mark David Chapman: You were taking pictures.
- Paul: Right here.
- Mark David Chapman: Did you take one of me and John? Did you? *Did you*?
- Paul: I think I might have.
- Mark David Chapman: Oh my God. Oh my God. I'd do anything for that picture. I'll pay you fifty dollars for it.
- Paul: Okay man, relax.
