after watching the movie for the 9373u749th time, i realized that in the beginning the castle guards are discussing with arthur bout where he got the coconuts, because the european swallow could not carry a cocunut, but the european swallow could... interesting, funny AND smart.

 

they r the best!!

actually, the castle they shot at was the same throughout the movie because they had little money (i.e, no money for horses, ergo, the coconuts) but different camera angles made it look like swamp castle, the castle of AAARGH!, castle anthrax and camelot.

 

and i didn't know you could watch a movie 9373u749 times, the u makes things complicated.

 

**french take in giant wooden rabbit**

 

Arthur: Okay, now what happens.

Benevir: Well, now lancelot galahad and i wait until night, and then leap out of the rabbit taking the french completely by surprised. not only completely by surprise, but totally off guard as well.

Arthur: Um... who jumps out?

Benevir: Lancelot Galahad and i, umm **everyone looks at lancelot, galahad and Benevir, obviously not inside the rabbit** umm..., okay, i've got this wooden rabbit idea-

Arthur: oh just shut up!

i noticed that as soon as i clicked submit, but was too busy to edit it.

 

and camelot was also a cardboard cutout considering they never actually rode to it, they just began to and then came back after the song. (which i won't quote right now)

You mean...

 

We're knights of the Round Table.

We dance whene'er we're able.

We do routines and chorus scenes.

With footwork impeccable.

We dine well here in Camelot.

We eat ham and jam and spam and lot.

 

We're knights of the Round Table.

Our shows are formidable,

But many times we're given rhymes

That are quite unsingable.

We're opera mad in Camelor.

We sing from the diaphragm a lot.

 

In war we're tough and able, Quite indefatigable.

Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable.

It's a busy life in Camelot.

 

I have to push the pram a lot.

YAY!

 

I recently discovered Monty Python. SO funny.

 

Matthias: Look, I don't think it should be a sin, just for saying "Jehovah."

[Everyone gasps]

Jewish Official: You're only making it worse for yourself!

Matthias: Making it worse? How can it be worse?!?! Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!

damn, i loved life of brian (more than holy grail) unfortunately i lost the video and can't find it anywhere. :(

 

oh well.

 

let's refere back to Gubrush's reference.

 

man1: i witch a witch, we found a witch.

woman: i am not a witch, they dressed me up to look like a witch

benevir: did you dress up the woman.

man1: No! No! No... well yes, a bit, we did do the nose, and the hat, but she is a witch.

man2: She turned me into a newt! **everyone looks at the man** i got better.

Benevir: now there are ways of telling if she's a witch.

everyone: there is?

Benevir: what do we do with witches?

everyone: burn em!!

Benevir: and what else do we burn.

man1: more witches!

Man2: shut up... um, wood?

Benevir: exactly. and what can we make out of wood?

Man1: bridges? we can build a bridge out of her!

Benevir: ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?

Man2: oh yeah, um...

Benevir: doesn't wood float?

Man1: yeah yeah. come on, lets throw her in the river!!

Benevir: ah, but what else floats?

Man1: horses?

Man3: Churches?

Man2: very small pebbles.

Man1: a duck!

Benevir: exactly, so...

Man1: so... if... she weighs the... same as a duck... then... she amde of wood?

Benevir: and therefore?

Man1: a witch!

Benevir: yes. i'll get my big scales.

It's actually Arthur that says "A duck!".

OK, I'll stop correcting your Pythonese now :D

 

Man 1: What did he say?

Man 2: I think it was "Blessed are the cheesemakers"

Woman: What's so special about the cheesemakers?"

Man 1: Well, obviously, you aren't supposed to take it literally. It applies to all makers of dairy products.

 

MANDY:

Well, what is myrrh, anyway?

WISE MAN #3:

It is a valuable balm.

MANDY:

A balm? What are you giving him a balm for? It might bite him.

WISE MAN #3:

What?

MANDY:

That's a dangerous animal. Quick! Throw it in the trough.

WISE MAN #1:

No, it isn't.

MANDY:

Yes, it is. It's great, big mmm...

WISE MAN #3:

No, no, no. It is an ointment.

MANDY:

Aww, there is an animal called a balm,... or did I dream it? So, you're astrologers, are you? Well, what is he then?

WISE MAN #2:

Hmm?

MANDY:

What star sign is he?

WISE MAN #2:

Uh, Capricorn.

MANDY:

Uhh, Capricorn, eh? What are they like?

WISE MAN #2:

Ooh, but... he is the son of God, our Messiah.

WISE MAN #1:

King of the Jews.

MANDY:

And that's Capricorn, is it?

WISE MAN #2:

Uh, no, no, no. That's just him.

MANDY:

Ohh, I was going to say, 'Otherwise, there'd be a lot of them.

Announcer: And now for something completely different. A man with three buttocks!

Host : I have with me Mr Arthur Frampton who... (pause) Mr. Frampton, I understand that you - um - as it were... (pause) Well let me put it another way. Erm, I believe that whereas most people have - er - two... Two.

 

 

 

Frampton: Oh, sure.

 

Host: Ah well, er, Mr Frampton. Erm, is that chair comfortable?

 

Frampton: Fine, yeah, fine.

 

Host: Mr Frampton, er, vis a vis your... (pause) rump.

 

Frampton: I beg your pardon?

 

Host: Your rump.

 

Frampton: What?

 

Host: Er, your derriere. (Whispers) Posterior. Sit-upon.

 

Frampton: What's that?

 

Host: (whispers) Your buttocks.

 

Frampton: Oh, me bum!

 

Host: (hurriedly) Sshhh! Well now, I understand that you, Mr Frampton, have a... (pause) 50% bonus in the region of what you say.

 

Frampton: I got three cheeks.

 

Host: Yes, yes, excellent, excellent. Well we were wondering, Mr Frampton, if you could see your way clear to giving us a quick... (pause) a quick visual... (long pause). Mr Frampton, would you take your trousers down.

 

Frampton: What? (to cameramen) 'Ere, get that away! I'm not taking me trousers down on television. What do you think I am?

 

Host: Please take them down.

 

Frampton: No!

 

Host: No, er look, er Mr Frampton. It's quite easy for somebody just to come along here claiming... that they have a bit to spare in the botty department. The point is, our viewers need proof.

 

Frampton: I've been on Persian Radio ... Get off! Arthur Figgis knows I've got three buttocks.

 

Host: How?

 

Frarnpton: We go cycling together.

 

(Cut to shot of two men riding tandem. The one behind (Graham) looks down, looks up and exclaims 'strewth '.)

 

Announcer: (sitting at desk) And now for something completely different. A man with three buttocks.

 

(Interview studio again.)

 

Interviewer: Good evening, I have with me Mr Arthur Frampton, who.. Mr Frampton I understand that you, as it were - well let me put it another way... I believe Mr Frampton that whereas most people... didn't we do this just now?

 

Frampton: Er ... yes.

 

Interviewer: Well why didn't you say so?

 

Frarnpton: I thought it was the continental version.

 

(Cut back to Announcer sitting confidently at desk)

 

Announcer: And now for something completely the same - a man with three buttocks. (phone on desk rings - he answers) Hullo? ... Oh, did we. (puts phone down and looks at camera) And now for something completely different. A man with three noses.

 

Off-Screen Voice: He's not here yet!

 

Announcer: Two noses?

and then the bit after.

 

EXTERIOR - CASTLE WALLS - DAY

 

Mist. Several seconds of it swirling about. silence

possibly, atmospheric music. SUPERIMPOSE "England AD 787".

after a few more seconds we hear hoofbeats in the distance.

They come slowly closer. Then out of the mist comes KING ARTHUR

followed by a SERVANT who is banging two half coconuts

together. ARTHUR raises his hand.

 

ARTHUR

Whoa there!

 

SERVANT makes noises of horses halting, with a flourish. ARTHUR

peers through the mist. CUT TO shot from over his shoulder:

castle (e.g. Bodium) rising out of the mist. On the castle

battlements a SOLDIER is dimly seen. He peers down.

 

SOLDIER

Halt! Who goes there?

 

ARTHUR

It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle

of Camelot. King of all Britons, defeator of the Saxons,

sovereign of all England!

 

Pause.

 

SOLDIER

Get away!

 

ARTHUR

I am... And this my trusty servant, Patsy. We have ridden the

length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join

our court at Camelot.. I must speak with your lord and master.

 

SOLDIER

What? Ridden on a horse?

 

ARTHUR

Yes!

 

SOLDIER

You're using coconuts!

 

ARTHUR

...What?

 

SOLDIER

You've got two empty halves of coconuts and you're banging

them together.

 

ARTHUR

(Scornfully)

So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this

land, through the kingdom of Mercea.

 

SOLDIER

Where did you get the coconuts?

 

ARTHUR

Through ... We found them.

 

SOLDIER

Found them? In Mercea. The coconut's tropical!

 

ARTHUR

What do you mean?

 

SOLDIER

Well, this is a temperate zone.

 

ARTHUR

The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house martin

or the plover seek warmer hot lands in winter, yet these are

not strangers to our land.

 

SOLDIER

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

 

ARTHUR

Not at all. They could be carried.

 

SOLDIER

What? A swallow carrying a coconut?

 

| ARTHUR

| Why not?

|

| SOLDIER

| I'll tell you why not ... because a swallow is about eight

| inches long and weighs five ounces, and you'd be lucky

| to find a coconut under a pound.

|

 

ARTHUR

It could grip it by the husk ...

 

SOLDIER

It's not a question of where he grips it, It's a simple

matter of weight - ratios ... A five-ounce bird could not

hold a a one pound coconut.

 

ARTHUR

Well, it doesn't matter. Go and tell your master that

Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here.

 

A Slight pause. Swirling mist. Silence.

 

SOLDIER

Look! To maintain Velocity, a swallow needs to beat

its wings four hundred and ninety three times every

second. right?

 

ARTHUR

(irritated)

Please!

 

SOLDIER

Am I right?

 

ARTHUR

I'm not interested.

 

SECOND SOLDIER

(who has loomed up on the battlements)

It could be carried by an African swallow!

 

FIRST SOLDIER

Oh yes! An African swallow maybe ... but not a European

swallow. that's my point.

 

SECOND SOLDIER

Oh yes, I agree there ...

 

ARTHUR

(losing patience)

Will you ask your master if he wants to join the Knights

of Camelot?!

 

FIRST SOLDIER

But then of course African swallows are non-migratory.

 

SECOND SOLDIER

Oh yes.

 

ARTHUR raises his eyes heavenwards and nods to PATSY. They turn

and go off into the mist.

 

FIRST SOLDIER

So they wouldn't be able to bring a coconut back anyway.

 

SECOND SOLDIER

 

Wait a minute! Suppose two swallows carried it together?

 

FIRST SOLDIER

No, they'd have to have it on a line.

 

Stillness. Silence again.
