With a title like that, the post has to be about Monty Python. A few weeks ago during a movie drought, I watched the Holy Grail again. I don't know the last time I saw it. Many years ago. The first time I saw it was in the mid 1970s on the late late movie. Here's some quotes:
- It is I, Arthur, King of the Britons.
- And this is my trusty servant, Patsy.
- Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
- Bring out your dead!
- I thought we were an autonomous collective.
- Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
- You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just cause some watery tart threw a sword at you.
- Come and see the violence inherent in the system.
- I’m being repressed.
- Sir Not Appearing in This Film.
- Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
- Go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
- Run away, run away!
- 5 is right out.
- Suddenly the animator suffered a fatal heart attack.
- There’s the old man from scene 24.
- What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favourite colour? What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
- You have to know these things when you’re king, you know.
