    Um, no. I believe the point of the thread is to recreate the movie, with each of us going line-by-line, until we as a group have managed to quote the whole thing. In order.

    So your responce, while vaugely Pythonesque by skipping half the movie, isn't quite right.

    And I'll be damned if I know what the second line in the movie is, so I'll be wandering off now.
  • Bah, this was more of a "I'm really bored, I think I'll try to top the Beachball thread" kind of post. While that was the plan, I couldn't honestly care less.

    Oh, and the second line is "Halt! Who goes there," or something like that. :D

    Should we back up to the "My brother was once bitten by a moose" credits? :D
  • Ok, let's start again... :rolleyes:

    Arthur: "Hello!"

    French Knight: "Allo? Oo is eet?"

    Now, simply carry on the dialogue line by line...

    Ignore these jumps ahead, and let's get back to the beginning. Following Exile's post:

    "It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot, defeater of the Saxons, and sovereign of all England!"

    I never understood what the guy said next, so I had to cheat and use CC... :(

    "And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either 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'"

    ok, I cheated a bit for that...but I love that line...uh...speech! :D

    ARTHUR:Old woman!

    DENNIS:Man!

    ARTHUR:Man. Sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?

    DENNIS:I'm thirty-seven.

    ARTHUR:I-- what?

    DENNIS:I'm thirty-seven. I'm not old.

    ARTHUR:Well, I can't just call you 'Man'.

    DENNIS:Well, you could say 'Dennis'.

    ARTHUR:Well, I didn't know you were called 'Dennis'.

    DENNIS:Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you?

    ARTHUR:I did say 'sorry' about the 'old woman', but from the behind you looked--

    DENNIS:What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior!

    ARTHUR:Well, I am King!

    DENNIS:Oh, King, eh, very nice. And how d'you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By 'anging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress with the--

    WOMAN:Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. Oh! How d'you do?

    ARTHUR:How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Who's castle is that?

    WOMAN:King of the who?

    ARTHUR:The Britons.

    WOMAN:Who are the Britons?

    ARTHUR:Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king.

    WOMAN:I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.

    DENNIS:You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--

    WOMAN:Oh, there you go bringing class into it again.

    DENNIS:That's what it's all about. If only people would hear of--

    ARTHUR:Please! Please, good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?

    WOMAN:No one lives there.

    ARTHUR:Then who is your lord?

    WOMAN:We don't have a lord.

    ARTHUR:What?

    DENNIS:I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We
    take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week,...

    ARTHUR:Yes.

    DENNIS:...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting...

    ARTHUR:Yes, I see.

    DENNIS:...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,...

    ARTHUR:Be quiet!

    DENNIS:...but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--

    ARTHUR:Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

    WOMAN:Order, eh? Who does he think he is? Heh.

    ARTHUR:I am your king!

    WOMAN:Well, I didn't vote for you.

    ARTHUR:You don't vote for kings.

    WOMAN:Well, how did you become King, then?

    ARTHUR:The Lady of the Lake,...
    [angels sing]
    ...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
    [singing stops]
    That is why I am your king!

    DENNIS:Listen. 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.

    ARTHUR:Be quiet!

    DENNIS:Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

    ARTHUR:Shut up!
    [color=red]DENNIS:I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away![/color]

    ARTHUR:Shut up, will you? Shut up!

    DENNIS:Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.

    ARTHUR:Shut up!

    DENNIS:Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

    ARTHUR:Bloody peasant!

    DENNIS:Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?

    offtopic: Is that on dvd already? And does it have extras that make it worth getting, got it on tape, and not interested in getting it on dvd just for the movie. :)

    I own the SE DVD, only cost about $20. WORTH EVERY PENNY. The thing is 2 discs long, packed with extras from hilarious "Sing-A-Longs," commentaries, documentaries, and random Monty Python-esque insanity. And, to quote the back of the box, Pink Frilly Edges!
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I need to get that. :) The only thing out here at the moment is the box set of all the movies.

    Arthur: "King Arthur of Camelot."

    Bridgekeeper: "What is your quest?"

    King Arthur: "I seek the Holy Grail."
