Random segment of quotation

DINGO: Yes. Yes, you must give us all a good spanking!
GIRLS: A spanking! A spanking! There is going to be a spanking tonight!
DINGO: And after the spanking, the oral sex.
GIRLS: The oral sex! The oral sex!
GALAHAD: Well, I could stay a bit longer.
LANCELOT: Sir Galahad!
GALAHAD: Oh, hello.
LANCELOT: Quick!
GALAHAD: What?
LANCELOT: Quick!
GALAHAD: Why?
LANCELOT: You are in great peril!
DINGO: No, he isn't.
LANCELOT: Silence, foul temptress!
GALAHAD: You know, she's got a point.
LANCELOT: Come on! We will cover your escape!
GALAHAD: Look, I'm fine!
LANCELOT: Come on!
GIRLS: Sir Galahad!
GALAHAD: No. Look, I can tackle this lot single-handed!
DINGO: Yes! Let him tackle us single-handed!
GIRLS: Yes! Let him tackle us single-handed!
LANCELOT: No, Sir Galahad. Come on!
GALAHAD: No! Really! Honestly, I can cope. I can handle this lot easily.
DINGO: Oh, yes. Let him handle us easily.
GIRLS: Yes. Let him handle us easily.
LANCELOT: No. Quick! Quick!
GALAHAD: Please! I can defeat them! There's only a hundred-and-fifty of them!
DINGO: Yes! Yes, he will beat us easily! We haven't a chance.
GIRLS: We haven't a chance. He will beat us easily...
[boom]
DINGO: Oh, shit.

LANCELOT: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
GALAHAD: I don't think I was.
LANCELOT: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
GALAHAD: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
LANCELOT: No, it's too perilous.
GALAHAD: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
LANCELOT: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on!
GALAHAD: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
LANCELOT: No. It's unhealthy.
GALAHAD: I bet you're gay.
LANCELOT: No, I'm not.


In response to this column and the aside about McChrystal's taste in humor. Good to know. I am less positive about the "kick the can down the road" strategy given the costs than the general who will be in charge of doing it. It is easy enough to maintain a strike capability against active terrorist cells. It is much harder to provide enough stability for a vigorous defence of human rights to an area governed recently by anarchy and presently governed by corruption. After all there's always this to consider:
"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."

Wow. I have to google a lot of things for myself to even get half of this one. I suspect it'll be worth it.

It's from Monty Python. If McChrystal can quote and cite entire passages of the Holy Grail, so can I.

I've found for me that it's basically a first line of criteria to determining the plausibility of dating material: whether or not a lady friend has seen and can quote Monty Python.

If she hasn't even seen it, or don't get it, then I should bid them good day at the earliest opportunity.

Starts around the 5 minute mark for the quoted sequence.

Well I knew it was Monty Python, without googling even, but the only thing I could quote would be the coconut sound effect. I will review, thanks for the link!

- We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune!

Those are probably the best three.

Yes! That scene is excellent. What man doesn't appreciate it? Ha! My favorite "Python" scene though, wasn't even a Python production. I think the scene with the island sinking in Erik the Viking and the delusional King denying it is simply brilliant. A lot of the Python crew was in it and one of them directed it, but I don't think it was an official Monty Python production.

Yes! Yes, you must give us all a good spanking!

Ha!

Sounds sort of like the King building a castle in a swamp scene though.

But yes, they do like their realism and belief scenes.
