DescentBB

with all the bunnies and THAT kinda stuff floating around, I happened upon this. My favorite dialogue:


[King Arthur music]
[clop clop clop]
[music stops]
[boom]

KNIGHTS:
Eh. Oh. See it? Oh. Oh.
ARTHUR:
Knights! Forward!
[boom boom boom boom boom]

[squeak]
[boom boom boom boom]
What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or tinder?
TIM:
I... am an enchanter.
ARTHUR:
By what name are you known?
TIM:
There are some who call me... 'Tim'?
ARTHUR:
Greetings, Tim the Enchanter.
TIM:
Greetings, King Arthur!
ARTHUR:
You know my name?
TIM:
I do.
[zoosh]
You seek the Holy Grail!
ARTHUR:
That is our quest. You know much that is hidden, O Tim.
TIM:
Quite.

[pweeng boom]
[clap clap clap]
ROBIN:
Oh.
ARTHUR:
Yes, we're-- we're looking for the Holy Grail. Our quest is to find the Holy Grail.
KNIGHTS:
Yeah. Yes. It is. It is. Yeah. Yup. Yup. Hm. Mm.
ARTHUR:
And so, we're-- we're-- we're looking for it.
BEDEVERE:
Yes, we are.
GALAHAD:
Yeah.
ROBIN:
We are. We are.
BEDEVERE:
We have been for some time.
ROBIN:
Ages.
BEDEVERE:
Umhm.
ARTHUR:
Uh-- uh, so, uh, anything that you could do to, uh-- to help... would be... very... helpful.
GALAHAD:
Look, can you tell us where--
[boom]
ARTHUR:
Fine. Um, I don't want to waste any more of your time, but, uh, I don't suppose you could, uh, tell us where we might find a, um-- find a, uh-- a, um-- a, uh--

TIM:
A what...?
ARTHUR:
A g-- a-- a g-- a g-- a-- a g--
TIM:
A grail?!
ARTHUR:
Yes. I think so.
ROBIN:
Y-- y-- yes.
ARTHUR:
Yes.
GALAHAD:
Yup.
KNIGHTS:
That's it...
TIM:
Yes!
ROBIN:
Oh.
ARTHUR:
Oh. Thank you.
ROBIN:
Ahh.
GALAHAD:
Oh. Fine.
ARTHUR:
Thank you.
ROBIN:
Splendid.
KNIGHTS:
Aah...
[boom pweeng boom boom]

ARTHUR:
Look, um, you're a busy man, uh--
TIM:
Yes, I can help you find the Holy Grail.
KNIGHTS:
Oh, thank you. Oh...
TIM:
To the north there lies a cave-- the cave of Caerbannog-- wherein, carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of Olfin Bedwere of Rheged...
[boom]
...make plain the last resting place of the most Holy Grail.
ARTHUR:
Where could we find this cave, O Tim?
TIM:
Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.
ARTHUR:
What an eccentric performance.


Actually, Lothar provided the link for this site.

Hi Tim.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail rocks. I think I'll have to watch that again...

Yeh I'm going to have to get that from netflix.

You sir, are a giant... crab...

.....Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.....Thunderbunnay?......

That rabbit is dynamite

Untill you dynamite the rabbit.

Die esu Domine ... bona aise requiem ....... *whap!*

PEASANT: Actually we live in an anarcho-syclastic commune where we each take it in turn to be a kind of leader but who's decisions must be ratified in a bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely domestic maters but by a two thirds majority in the case of external matters.
KING ARTHUR: Shut up.

bring out ye'r dead! *clank*

ona kinda related story, my GF's mum bought a new all black Hondo Accord estate - looks great, sure, but, it does look like a modern herse. before i was chased by her mum I was syaing she should get a pot and a spoon and scream "bring out your dead!" and roll along the streets...

And how did she take that?

no no, "clank" is entirely the wrong sound

That sounds like closing the lid on a metal box, or on the hood of a car....

the proper sound effect would be: CLANG!

"What is your favorite color?" - Troll
"Blue! No....yellow! Ahhhh--" - Some dude
*Dude flies over the side and down into the ravine*

Wouldn't it be tink tink?

ATTACK ATTACK....

RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!

hehe.

no no no... he isn't a troll .. he's the " old man from scene 24!" (I think that's the scene number )

At one time I owned the shooting script for the movie. It was called Monty Python and the Holy Grail Big Red Book. The ending was written quite different from what was used in the movie. In the script King Arthur and the Knights, aided by God, steal the grail from a church. They escape in a VW mini van pursued by bishops in an armoured car. They flee toward the sea and end up driving down a dock at full tilt. The knights are aghast but God says "Don't worry I'll part this lot". They drive off the end of the dock and the van crashes into the water. The van slowly sinks, run credits.
Can't imagine why they changed it.

i think they ran out of magazine clippings for the animations.
