:40:00
I think they needed a break
from the madness.
:40:04
So we all ended up getting on a train
to Bangor, for this trip.
:40:08
And I, as usual, was trailing behind
with the hand baggage.
:40:11
And a massive policeman
put his arm out and stopped me.
:40:15
I couldn't get on the train. And the last
thing that I saw was John's head.
:40:20
I can't imagine what he was saying,
but it was probably pretty rude about...
:40:23
"For Christ's sake, Cyn, you're too slow
again. Why couldn't you run with us?"
:40:28
And at that point I just felt, "That's it."
:40:32
Somehow, I can't explain it.
:40:34
And normally I would
not have broken down.
:40:39
I would have been pretty cool and calm...
:40:41
and I knew that I would get there anyway.
:40:44
But at that point, I just felt so sad...
:40:47
that this is symbolic of our life now.
:40:50
It's like,
"I'm getting off at this station."
:40:54
And it was pretty true after that.
:40:57
Yoko was having an art show in London
at a gallery called Indica Gallery.
:41:01
And I heard this was going
to be a happening.
:41:03
So I went down
the night before the opening.
:41:04
And the first thing
that was in the gallery...
:41:06
as you went in there was
a white stepladder...
:41:08
and a painting on the ceiling
and a spyglass hanging down.
:41:12
I walked up this ladder
and I picked up the spyglass.
:41:15
It was balancing there.
:41:16
And in teeny little writing
it just said "yes."If it had said "no"...
:41:19
- or something nasty...
- Something nasty.
:41:22
Like "rip-off," or whatever, I would have
left the gallery...
:41:26
but because it was positive,
it said, "Yes"...
:41:27
I thought, "This is the first show I've
been to that said something warm to me."
:41:32
Then I decided to see the rest of the show,
and that's when we met.
:41:35
We didn't really get together
till 18 months later.
:41:38
She came over for a date, as it were...
:41:40
I had a little studio, which was
really just a lot of tape recorders.
:41:43
And we made Two Virgins
and I was showing her...
:41:46
all my different tape recordings,
and all that.
:41:48
I thought, "This is great."
And I was going...
:41:50
on the tapes, and she was going...
:41:52
And we did, we made a tape all night.
:41:55
And in the morning we made love
as the sun came up.
