BRIAN

Six of one, half a dozen of the other, really.
 
This is a play on Ringo's line in A Hard Day's Night. When a reporter asks him Are you a Mod or a Rocker? he replies, I'm a mocker. And notice that Brian says the line with a Liverpudlian accent in an imitation of the Beatles.

Of course Brian's ambivalence is in perfect line with his 'Bi' nature.
