I Blame Nada
I love Monty Python.. and what made me shreik with happiness this morning is finding the Monty Python & The Holy Grail script!
What started my semi-obsession would have to be my friend Nutta and her Monty Python & The Holy Grail DVD.. so yes, I blame you, Nutti! :p
Here’re my favorite scene (in the beginning of the video) and its part of the script:
ARTHUR: Hello.
MAN: ‘Allo. Whoo is eet?
ARTHUR: I am King Arthur and these are the Knights of the Round Table. Whose castle is this?
MAN: This is the castle of of my master, Guy de Loimbard.
ARTHUR: Please go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest, and if he will give us food and shelter for this night he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.
MAN: Well, I’ll ask him, but I don’t think he’ll be very keen. He’s already got one, you see?
ARTHUR: What? *stunned*
GALAHAD: He says they’ve already got one!
ARTHUR: Are you sure he’s got one?
MAN: Oh yes. It’s very nice. *turns to some others Frenchmen* I told him we already got one! *they all giggle.*
ARTHUR: Well … can we come up and have a look?
MAN: Of course not! You are English pigs.
ARTHUR: Well, what are you then?
MAN: I’m French. Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king.
GALAHAD: What are you doing in England?
MAN: Mind your own business!
ARTHUR: If you will not show us the Grail we shall storm your castle.
MAN: You don’t frighten us, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English K…keniggets. *puts hands to his ears and blows a raspberry.*
GALAHAD: What a strange person.
ARTHUR: Now look here, my good man!
MAN: I don’t want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
GALAHAD: Is there someone else up there we could talk to?
MAN: No. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
ARTHUR: Now this is your last chance. I’ve been more than reasonable…
MAN: *to the other guards* Fetchez la vache!
GUARD: Quoi?
MAN: Fetchez la vache!
ARTHUR: Now that is my final offer. If you are not prepared to agree to my demands I shall be forced to take … Oh Christ!
*A cow comes flying over the battlements, lowing aggressively. The cow lands on GALAHAD’S PAGE, squashing him completely.*
ARTHUR: Right! Knights! Forward!
*ARTHUR leads a charge toward the castle. Various shots of them battling on, despite being hit by a variety of farm animals.*
