"We can't have that on the record, John, I'm serious!"

"What gives you the right to say that?" John snapped back.

They'd been going on like this for ten minutes. 

George finally spoke up. "Quit it you two! I've had it! Just hear each other out! John, what's the problem?" 

"So he gets to--"

"SHUT UP PAUL!"

"He says I can't have Revolution 9 on the album"

"How long is it?" George asked.

"Eight minutes,"

"Paul, can't you just stand it for eight minutes?" George pleaded.

"Have you even heard it?" Paul demanded.

"No," George admitted. "But it can't be that bad."

Paul laughed. "Play the tape, John."

"But-"

"Play the tape."

It went on and on, seemingly neverending. There was so much going on in it, I felt like I was supposed to understand and hear every bit, but I couldn't. There was a baby crying at one point. Then it sounded like someone was dying...multiple times. When it finally finished, Ringo looked ready to cry.

"That can't have just been eight minutes," George muttered.

"OH COME ON!! YOKO AND I WORKED FOR DAYS ON THAT AND YET YOU STILL REJECT IT??"

Paul made a choking sound, holding back laughter. He tried to cover it up with a cough but failed horribly. "John, it's the stuff of nightmares! You call that a song??"

"I've had it, McCartney." John picked up his guitar and headed for the door. Paul reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him back. In a flash his mood shifted drastically.

"Please don't leave, John, I'm sorry," He pleaded.

"Oh, now you're sorry?" He glared at him. "I don't believe it."

"I mean it, John! You can have it on the bloody record, I don't care! Just don't leave!"

John hesitated, then sat back down, setting his guitar at his side. "Fine."

They'd been arguing a lot. I hadn't noticed it earlier, but there was a lot of tension in the studio.

"So is it in or not?" George Martin asked. "We haven't got time to waste, you know."

Paul looked at John. "It's in," He called. I was happy that they finally agreed on something, but I was worried the rest of the world wasn't going to take it so great.
