Quotes
FROM ACT 1, SCENE 3
Thomas: There must be a word for who he is...
The Beatles: {Lennon, McCartney, Harrison}
He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
---
FROM ACT 1, SCENE 4
{Thomas, Percy, Emily and Molly end up on the Magic Railroad.}
Percy: Where are we?
{The first thirty seconds of "Love You To" by George Harrison plays. Gold swirls appear and disappear.}
Jude: Like no other railway I've been on.
{The four see a magical purple and gold tank engine in the distance. Thomas starts singing.}
Thomas: {Lennon}
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
---
FROM ACT 2, SCENE 1
Ringo Starr: Thomas, look at John's hand. {Thomas sees that John's hand is bruised badly.}
Paul McCartney: He can't play with his hand like that.
Human Thomas: Yeah, but guys, you gotta play that concert.
George Harrison: The concert's off, unless you know someone who can play in John's place.
John Lennon: What about Thomas? He can play in my place.

FROM ACT 2, SCENE 3
{last lines}
Human Thomas: I'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition!
{Everybody laughs.}
Human Emily: What does that even mean?!
Human Thomas: I have no idea.
