Some wonderful quotes from one of the Greatest movies in the world, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
~ heart ~[Holding the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch] King Arthur: How does it... um... how does it work? Sir Lancelot: I know not, my liege. King Arthur: Consult the Book of Armaments. Brother Maynard: Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one. Cleric: [reading] And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu... Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother... Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. Brother Maynard: Amen. All: Amen. King Arthur: Right. One... two... five. Galahad: Three, sir. King Arthur: Three.
~ heart ~King of Swamp Castle: You only killed the bride's father, you know. Sir Lancelot: Well, I didn't mean to. King of Swamp Castle: Didn't mean to? You put your sword right through his head. Sir Lancelot: Oh dear... is he all right?
~ heart ~Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid. Bridgekeeper: What... is your name? Sir Lancelot: My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Sir Lancelot: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour? Sir Lancelot: Blue. Bridgekeeper: Go on. Off you go. Sir Lancelot: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Sir Robin: That's easy. Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Robin: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid. Bridgekeeper: What... is your name? Sir Robin: Sir Robin of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Sir Robin: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What... is the capital of Assyria? [pause] Sir Robin: I don't know that. [he is thrown over the edge into the volcano] Sir Robin: Auuuuuuuugh. Bridgekeeper: Stop. What... is your name? Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Galahad: I seek the Grail. Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour? Galahad: Blue. No, yel... [he is also thrown over the edge] Galahad: auuuuuuuugh. Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop. What... is your name? King Arthur: It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons. Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow? Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don't know that. [he is thrown over] Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh. Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows? King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
~ heart ~King of Swamp Castle: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England. ~ heart ~Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us. Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches? Peasant 1: Burn them. Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches? Peasant 1: More witches. Peasant 2: Wood. Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn? Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood? Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood? Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her. Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone? Peasant 1: Oh yeah. Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water? Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond! Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water? Peasant 1: Bread. Peasant 2: Apples. Peasant 3: Very small rocks. Peasant 1: Cider. Peasant 2: Gravy. Peasant 3: Cherries. Peasant 1: Mud. Peasant 2: Churches. Peasant 3: Lead! Lead! King Arthur: A Duck. Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically... Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood. Sir Bedevere: And therefore... Peasant 2: ...A witch!
~ heart ~Sir Lancelot: [Bursts into the Prince's room and kneels before him after killing the guards] Oh, fair one, behold, I am you humble servant Sir Launcelot. I have come to take [looks up and realizes that he is kneeling before an effeminate Prince, not a Princess] Sir Lancelot: Oh, I'm terribly sorry! Prince Herbert: You got my note! Sir Lancelot: Uh, well, I got a note. Prince Herbert: You've come to rescue me! I knew someone would! I knew that somewhere out there, there must be someone who [Music swells] King of Swamp Castle: Stop that! Stop it! Stop it! [Music stops] King of Swamp Castle: Who are you? Prince Herbert: I'm your son! King of Swamp Castle: No, not you! Sir Lancelot: I am Sir Launcelot, sir. Prince Herbert: He's come to rescue me, father! Sir Lancelot: Well, let's not jump to conclusions. King of Swamp Castle: Did you kill all those guards? Sir Lancelot: Um... oh, yes! Sorry. King of Swamp Castle: They cost fifty pounds each! Sir Lancelot: Well, the thing is, I thought your son was a lady. King of Swamp Castle: Well, I can understand that.
~ heart ~King of Swamp Castle: Guards, make sure the prince doesn't leave this room until I come and get him. Guard #1: Not to leave the room... even if you come and get him. Guard #2: [hiccups] King of Swamp Castle: No, no. *Until* I come and get him. Guard #1: Until you come and get him, we're not to enter the room. King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no. You *stay* in the room, and make sure *he* doesn't leave. Guard #1: And you'll come and get him. Guard #2: [hiccups] King of Swamp Castle: Right. Guard #1: We don't need to do anything, apart from just stop him entering the room. King of Swamp Castle: No, no. *Leaving* the room. Guard #1: Leaving the room, yes. King of Swamp Castle: All right? Guard #2: [hiccups] Guard #1: Right. Oh, if, if, if, uh, if, if, uh, if, if, if, we... oh, if... oh... King of Swamp Castle: Look, it's quite simple. You just stay here, and make sure he doesn't leave the room. All right? Guard #2: [hiccups] Guard #1: Oh, I remember, uh, can he leave the room with us? King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no, no, you just keep him in here, and make sure... Guard #1: Oh yeah, we'll keep him in here, obviously, but if he had to leave, and we were with him... King of Swamp Castle: No, just keep him in here... Guard #1: Until you, or anyone else... King of Swamp Castle: No, not anyone else. Just me. Guard #1: Just you. Guard #2: [hiccups] King of Swamp Castle: Get back. Guard #1: Get back. King of Swamp Castle: All right? Guard #1: Right, we'll stay here until you get back. King of Swamp Castle: And make sure he doesn't leave. Guard #1: What? King of Swamp Castle: Make sure he doesn't leave. Guard #1: The prince? King of Swamp Castle: Yes, make sure he doesn't leave. Guard #1: Oh, yes, of course. [Points at Guard #2] Guard #1: I thought you meant him. You know, it seemed a bit daft me I were to guard him when he's a guard. King of Swamp Castle: Is that clear? Guard #2: [hiccups] Guard #1: Oh, quite clear. No problems. King of Swamp Castle: Right. [King of Swamp Castle turns to leave the room, both guards follow him] King of Swamp Castle: Where are you going? Guard #1: We're coming with you. King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no. I want you to stay here and make sure *he* doesn't leave. Guard #1: Oh, I see. Right.
~ heart ~[Concorde has just been shot in the chest with an arrow bearing a message] Concorde: Message for you, sir.
~ heart ~Tim: There he is! King Arthur: Where? Tim: There! King Arthur: What? Behind the rabbit? Tim: It *is* the rabbit! King Arthur: You silly sod! Tim: What? King Arthur: You got us all worked up! Tim: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit. King Arthur: Ohh. Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared! Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer! Sir Galahad: Get stuffed! Tim: He'll do you up a treat, mate. Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah? Sir Robin: You manky Scots git! Tim: I'm warning you! Sir Robin: What's he do? Nibble your bum? Tim: He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones! King Arthur: Go on, Bors. Chop his head off! Sir Bors: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up! [after Bors is killed by the killer rabbit] Tim: I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little *bunny*, isn't it?
~ heart ~Minstrel: [singing] Brave Sir Robin ran away... Sir Robin: *No!* Minstrel: [singing] bravely ran away away... Sir Robin: *I didn't!* Minstrel: [singing] When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Sir Robin: *I never did!* Minstrel: [singing] Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out. Sir Robin: *Oh, you liars!* Minstrel: [singing] Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.
~ heart ~Monks: Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem [bonk!]
