Python, Monty

Ladies are actually going out into the streets and burning their brassieres.

— I'll bet that hurts.

They take 'em off first, Dud.

Why should I be tarred with the epithet 'loony' merely because I have a pet halibut?

Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be,
Vis-à-vis, its entity. D'you see?

But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?

Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Praline: That's as maybe, it's still a frog.

When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me!

[Ephemerid]

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!!

Recently garnered trivia: the chap who doesn't want to go on the cart, is also the historian later in the film.

So in one scene, Eric Idle loses patience with him and bludgeons him; in another, he's the victim of a slash-by incident.  Dangerous line of work, collaborating with Pythons . . . .

Last night's viewing:

Lemming of the BDA (It's a Man's Life in the British Dental Association)

[karlhenning]

Cool it, Führer cat!

. . . so he comes in nice and friendly and says Dinsdale wants to have a word with me, so he chains me to the back of the tank and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's place . . . .

Is that the one with the Secret Service Dentists?

Aye!

There is something going on!

— No, there isn't.

So from now on we're going to do things my way. For a start David Hockney is going to design the bombs.

If I had ever seen that at the time it first aired (chronologically unlikely, even when it crossed the Atlantic a-this-a-way), I wouldn't have understood the David Hockney bit.

[Brian]

Aye!

Nobody move!

It's BRIAN!

I've got an anti-tank gun and it's loaded!

But it's mainly folk songs . . . Last night I had 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' for six hours.

Yes, yes, yes, I do follow, Mr Anchovy, but you see the snag is... if I now call Mr Chipperfield and say to him, 'look here, I've got a forty-five-year-old chartered accountant with me who wants to become a lion tamer', his first question is not going to be 'does he have his own hat?' He's going to ask what sort of experience you've had with lions.

[Ephemerid]

I'm not dead!

[karlhenning]

'Ere, he says he's not dead!

I played Miss Galileo in a groove and I played Mrs Jesus Christ in a geological syncline . . . .

You must have everything the Python's ever did.

Have you the recordings they issued i.e. "And now a massage from the Swedish Prime Minister."  Followed by sounds of slapping.

Used to! In fact, for years I knew them almost solely by the LPs . . . which is one reason I am really tickled at at last getting to know bits on the TV show I had missed.

From the same team that brought you ... 'Lawrence of Glamorgan' ... 'Bridge Over the River Trent' ....

But soft, let us see how Dame Fortune smiles upon my next postal adventure!

I just recommended to someone learning English who asked for recommendations for reading material, Sale of Two Tities by Charles Dikkens with two K's.
