on some funny bits from the Holy Grail...

ARTHUR:


You fight with the strength of many men, Sir Knight.


[pause]


I am Arthur, King of the Britons.


[pause]


I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me in my court at Camelot.


[pause]



 


You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me?


[pause]


You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy.


BLACK KNIGHT:


None shall pass.


ARTHUR:


What?


BLACK KNIGHT:


None shall pass.


ARTHUR:


I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight, but I must cross this bridge.


BLACK KNIGHT:


Then you shall die.


ARTHUR:


I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside!


BLACK KNIGHT:


I move for no man.


ARTHUR:


So be it!


ARTHUR and BLACK KNIGHT:


Aaah!, hiyaah!, etc.


[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off]



ARTHUR:


Now stand aside, worthy adversary.


BLACK KNIGHT:


'Tis but a scratch.


ARTHUR:


A scratch? Your arm's off!


BLACK KNIGHT:


No, it isn't.


ARTHUR:


Well, what's that, then?


BLACK KNIGHT:


I've had worse.


ARTHUR:


You liar!


BLACK KNIGHT:


Come on, you pansy!


[clang]


Huyah!


[clang]


Hiyaah!


[clang]


Aaaaaaaah!


[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off]



ARTHUR:


Victory is mine!


[kneeling]


We thank Thee Lord, that in Thy mer--


BLACK KNIGHT:


Hah!


[kick]


Come on, then.


ARTHUR:


What?


BLACK KNIGHT:


Have at you!


[kick]


ARTHUR:


Eh. You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.


BLACK KNIGHT:


Oh, had enough, eh?


ARTHUR:


Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left.


BLACK KNIGHT:


Yes, I have.


ARTHUR:


Look!


BLACK KNIGHT:


Just a flesh wound.


[kick]


ARTHUR:


Look, stop that.


BLACK KNIGHT:


Chicken!


[kick]


Chickennn!


ARTHUR:


Look, I'll have your leg.


[kick]


Right!


[whop]


[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right leg off]



BLACK KNIGHT:


Right. I'll do you for that!


ARTHUR:


You'll what?


BLACK KNIGHT:


Come here!


ARTHUR:


What are you going to do, bleed on me?


BLACK KNIGHT:


I'm invincible!


ARTHUR:


You're a looney.


BLACK KNIGHT:


The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on, then.


[whop]


[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's last leg off]



BLACK KNIGHT:


Oh? All right, we'll call it a draw.


ARTHUR:


Come, Patsy.


BLACK KNIGHT:


Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!

NARRATOR:


The Tale of Sir Robin. So, each of the knights went their separate ways. Sir Robin rode north, through the dark forest of Ewing, accompanied by his favourite minstrels.


MINSTREL: [singing]


Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.


He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin.


He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,


Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!


He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,


Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken,


To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away


And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!


His head smashed in and his heart cut out


And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged


And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off


And his pen--


SIR ROBIN:


That's-- that's, uh-- that's enough music for now, lads. Heh. Looks like there's dirty work afoot.

HEAD KNIGHT OF NI:


Ni!


KNIGHTS OF NI:


Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!


ARTHUR:


Who are you?


HEAD KNIGHT:


We are the Knights Who Say... 'Ni'!



RANDOM:


Ni!


ARTHUR:


No! Not the Knights Who Say 'Ni'!


HEAD KNIGHT:


The same!

LAUNCELOT:


We have the Holy Hand Grenade.


ARTHUR:


Yes, of course! The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! 'Tis one of the sacred relics Brother Maynard carries with him! Brother Maynard! Bring up the Holy Hand Grenade!


MONKS: [chanting]


Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem.



Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem.




Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem. Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem.



ARTHUR:


How does it, um-- how does it work?


LAUNCELOT:


I know not, my liege.


ARTHUR:


Consult the Book of Armaments!


BROTHER MAYNARD:


Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one.


SECOND BROTHER:


And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest 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--



MAYNARD:


Skip a bit, Brother.


SECOND BROTHER:


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.'
