My most favorite sequence...

Who's that then?
I dunno, must be a king.
Why?
He hasn't got shit all over him.

The other was

Old woman.
Man.
Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
I'm 37.
What?
I'm 37. I'm not old.
Well I can't just call you "man".
Well you could say "Dennis".
I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Well you didn't bother to find out did you?

Well, I think we could all go on with this for a long time. Every time I say any one scene is my favorite someone like you comes along to make me think otherwise.[:D]

One scene does remind me of Gary Grigsby's War in The East discussions about combat, supply, production..calculations--

GUARD #1: Listen, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow
needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?
ARTHUR: Please!
GUARD #1: Am I right?
ARTHUR: I'm not interested!

Now that I did have to Google.

That's OK, your avatar reminds me of this sequence...

Danny, do you speak Russian?
A little, but only one sentence.
Well, let me have it, mate.
Ya vas lyublyu.
Ya ya vas...
Lyublyu.
Lyubliu? Ya vas lyubliu. Ya vas lyublyu. What's it mean?
I love you.
Love you? What bloody good is that?
I don't know, I wasn't going to use it myself.

I laughed when Arthur was told to cut down a tree with a herring. [:D]

Possibly even more than the Black Knight, this might very well be my favorite scene:



[Discussing the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch]

King Arthur: "How does it... um... how does it work?"

Sir Lancelot: "I know not, my liege."

King Arthur: "Consult the Book of Armaments."

Brother Maynard: "Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one."

Cleric: [reading] "And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu-- "

Brother Maynard: "Skip a bit, Brother."

Cleric: "And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither 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.'"

Brother Maynard: "Amen."

All: "Amen."




Cracks me up every time! [:D]

In all these quoting of lines, we must never forget that Monty Python and the Holy Grail also spots the very finest double-take in cinematic history...

Also let us not forget that the movie was made with a mere $375,000 but has made $128,000,000 to date. A pretty good return on the investment.

I say, you must mean this:(The double take the French soldier does as the giant rabbit is wheeled up to the castle).

THEN THIS EXCHANGE;

-King Arthur: What happens now?
-Sir Bedevere: Well, now, uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I, uh, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the French, uh, by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!
-Arthur: Who leaps out?
-Bedevere: U-- u-- uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I. Uh, leap out of the rabbit, uh, and uh...
-Arthur: Ohh... (he and Lancelot slowly put their hands to their heads at the realization that they messed up)
-Bedevere: Oh. Um, l-- look, i-- i-- if we built this large wooden badger--
(twang of a catapult is heard from the French castle and the Trojan Rabbit comes flying towards where the knights are hiding)
-Arthur: Run away!
-Other knights: Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away!
