Monty Python's Holy Grail

[DJEVANS]

One of my favorites...just wondering if anyone else here is a Holy Grail fanatic.

"Bring out your dead."
"Here's one!"
"Ninepence."
"I'm not dead!"
"What?"
"Nothing."
" 'Ere. He says he's not dead."
"Yes he is."
"I'm not."
"He isn't."
"He will be soon. He's very ill."
"I'm getting better."
"You're not. You'll be stone dead in a few minutes."
"I can't take him like this, it's against regulations."
"I don't want to go on the cart."
"Don't be such a baby."
"I feel fine."
"Do me a favour."
"I can't."
"Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long."
"I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today."
"When's your next round?"
"Thursday."
"I think I'll go for a walk."
"You're not fooling anyone you know. (to cart driver) Isn't there anything you could do?"
"I feel happy, I feel happy."
(cart driver clubs the body)
"Thanks very much."
"That's all right. See you Thursday."
"Who's that then?"
"I dunno, must be a king."
"Why?"
"He hasn't got s**t all over him."

Scene ends.

I love Monty Python... My favorite is probably The Life of Brian.

We saw the Musical a few months ago. It was as funny, if not funnier than the movie. Got the shirt that say's "I'm not dead yet". We did not by the Spamalot Spam.

Always look on the bright side of life!

Holy Grail is definitely Monty Python's most popular production, has been since it's release. I had the videotape for a long time and had to get the DVD, as well as Life of Brian which I agree with SD, is definitely my favorite.

Now that tune will be in my head all day.

And the number of the counting shall be three.

[TSteele65]

There was a time I could recite the entire movie from memory.

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. Amen.

Of course there is always the segment on the Knights that go Ni!

Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
Arthur: Who are you?
Knight of Ni: We are the Knights who say..... "Ni"!
Arthur: (horrified) No! Not the Knights who say "Ni"!
Knight of Ni: The same.
Other Knight of Ni: Who are we?
Knight of Ni: We are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Ping, and Nee-womm!
Other Knight of Ni: Nee-womm!
Arthur: (to Bedevere) Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!
Knight of Ni: The knights who say "Ni" demand..... a sacrifice!
Arthur: Knights of Ni, we are but simple travelers who seek the enchanter who lives beyond these woods.
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
Bedevere: No! Noooo! Aaaugh! No!
Knight of Ni: We shall say "Ni" to you... if you do not appease us.
Arthur: Well what is it you want?
Knight of Ni: We want..... A SHRUBBERY!!!!

Arthur: A WHAT?
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni!! Ni! Ni!
Arthur; No! No! Please, please, no more! We will find you a shrubbery.
Knight of Ni: You must return here with a shrubbery... or else you will never pass through this wood... alive.
Arthur: O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a
shrubbery.
Knight of Ni: One that looks nice.
Arthur: Of course!
Knight of Ni: And not too expensive.
Arthur; Yes!
Knight of Ni: Noowwwww.... GO!

Arthur: O Knights of Ni. We have brought you your shrubbery. May we go now?
Knight of Ni: Yes, it is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly.
But there is one small problem....
Arthur: What is that?
Knight of Ni: We are now no longer the Knights Who Say "Ni"!
Other Knights of Ni: Ni! Shh! Shh!
Knight of Ni: We are now the Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm".
Other Knight of Ni: Ni!
Knight of Ni: Therefore, we must give you a test.
Arthur: What is this test, O Knights of.....
Knights who 'til recently said "Ni"?
Knight of Ni: Firstly, you must find.... ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!!!

Arthur: Oh not another shrubbery!!
Knight of Ni: (excitedly) THEN... Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher, so we get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.
Other Knights of Ni: A path! A path! A path! Shh, shhh. Ni! Ni!
Knight of Ni: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... Wiiiiiithh.... A HERRING!

"I fart in your general direction!"

Fetchez la vache!

Quoi?

I guess you could say we are Monty Python fans: my wife wants to name our recently acquired Porta-Bote "The Crimson Permanent Assurance", which is delightfully obscure...and long.
