Quotes from Help!:
Clang:
Take this hastily scribbled note, hastily to acting Lance Corporal Bhuta. Off!
Superintendent: Oh come on now lads, don't be windy, where's that famous pluck?
John: I haven't got any, have you George?
George: Did have.
Paul: I have had.
Ringo: I will have! Lead on!
George: [referring to Ringo's finger] Hey, there might be some insurance.
John: I wouldn't think of such a thing!
[whispering]
John: Find out, eh?

Facts about Help!:
In the pub scene, the other three Beatles are persuading Ringo to have his ring finger amputated. Ringo refuses, insisting that he will miss the digit. Paul counters with, "You don't miss your tonsils!" Ringo actually underwent a tonsillectomy two months prior to filming.
In the final "I'm going to miss the sacrifice" scene where Klang's men, The Beatles, Ahme and the good police of the Bahamas are on the beach where they are rolling around in the sand fighting, a strange shot of a pair of very feminine legs and skin covered with sand is inserted for a flash of a second.
There was a lengthy scene in the movie (running around 10 minutes) which was filmed but never used. This follows the Beatles escape from Clang and before the elevator scene between John and Ringo, and involved them hiding out at the "Sam Ahab School of Transcendental Elocution", an acting school run by Sam Ahab (played by Frankie Howerd). Sam's pupil Lady Macbeth (a young Wendy Richard) performs a meditation song which causes George to block his ears with earplugs while Clang and his men (hidden in the fireplace) play a piece of music which sends everyone else into a trance. A struggle ensues, as Clang attempts to chop Ringo's hand off with a hatchet to retrieve the ring but the gang are fought off by the non-hypnotized George. After the men flee (and the hatchet is hurled by Clang into a mirror) the others are revived and the scene ends with John yanking the hatchet from the (non-broken) mirror, handing it to Lady Macbeth, and saying, "Is this a chopper that you see before you?". Although filmed this scene has not yet been discovered and may no longer exist.
