And now we get an entire page of Monty Python quotes...

Monty Python and the Holy Grain

[Cart man] *dong* Bring out your dead!


[Old Man] I'm not dead!


[Old Woman] Ordering, eh? Who does he think he is?
[Arthur] I am your king!
[Old Woman] Well I didn't vote for you!


[Arthur] No, on second thought, let's not go to Camelot. Tis a silly place.


[Knights who say Ni] We want.... A SHRUBBERY!!
[Arthur] A what?
[Knights who say Ni] NI!


[French Taunter] I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
[Sir Galahad] Is there someone else up there we could talk to?
[French Taunter] No, now go away before I taunt you a second time.


[Black Night] Tis but a scratch!
[Arthur] "A scratch?" you're arms off!
[Black Night] No it isn't.
[Arthur] What's that, then?
[Black Knight] I've had worse.


[Sir Bedevere] What makes you think she's a witch?
[Peasant] Well, she turned me into a newt.
[Sir Bedevere] A newt?
[Peasant] ...I got better.


[Dennis] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' 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.


[Dennis] Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.


[King Arthur] Right. One... two... five.
[Galahad] Three, sir.
[King Arthur] Three.


[Tim] There are some who call me... Tim.


[Guard] Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?


too many good ones....




Casablanca


[Rick] The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.


[Captain Renault] What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
[Rick] My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
[Captain Renault] The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
[Rick] I was misinformed.


[Senor Ferrari] Might as well be frank, monsieur. It would take a miracle to get you out of Casablanca, and the Germans have outlawed miracles.


[Rick] How can you close me up? On what grounds?
[Captain Renault] I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[Croupier] Your winnings, sir.
[Captain Renault] Oh, thank you very much.
[aloud]
[Captain Renault] Everybody out at once!


[Rick] Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.

 

: raises a glass to brilliant writers :

Good choices, I'll have to buy Casablanca someday, I don't think I've ever really seen it from end to end, just bits here and there on late night or Saturday TV.

 

EXCELLENT movie. It's my ultimate favorite ever. Whoever wrote that script... man, I want to know what they had for breakfast.

 

*sitting in the office trying not to burst out laughing*
