*** Arthur's quest for knights...
*** Transcribed from the movie by Dr.Doom / Amega Industries
Arthur: Whoooa!
Halt!
Soldier: Who goes there!?
Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uthapendragon from the castle of Camelot.
King of the Britons! Defeater of the saxons. Sovereign of all
England.
Soldier: Pull the other one!
Arthur: I am! And this is my thrusty servant Patsy! We have ridden the
lenght and breth of the land, in search of knights who will join
me in my court at Camelot.
I must speek, with your lord and master!
Soldier: What? Ridden on a horse?
Arthur: Yes!
Soldier: You're using coconuts!
Arthur: What?
Soldier: You've got two empty halves of coconuts and you're banging them
together.
Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land.
Through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
Soldier: Where did you get the coconuts?
Arthur: We found them!
Soldier: Found them!? In Mercia? The coconuts are tropical!
Arthur: What do you mean?
Soldier: This is a temperate zone.
Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the *passage bird* or the
fowl may seek warmer klimate in the winter, yet these are not
strangers to our land!
Soldier: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Arthur: Not at all! They could be carried.
Soldier: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
Arthur: It could grip it by the hasp!
Soldier: It's not a question of where he grips it, it's a simple question
of weight difference. A five ounce bird could not carry a one
pound cococonut!
Arthur: Well it doesn't matter! Will you go and tell your master that
Arthur from the court of Camelot is here!
Soldier: Listen! In order to maintain air speed velocity, a swallow needs
to beat his wings 43 times every second, right?
Arthur: Please!
Soldier:Am I right?
Arthur: I'm not interested!
Another soldier: It could be carried by an African swallow!
Soldier: Oh yeah, an African swallow, might be, but not an European swallow
that's my point.
Soldier: Oh yeah, I agree with that.
Arthur: (Angry) Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at
Camelot.
Soldier: But then ofcourse, African swallows are non migrators.
Another soldier: Oh yeah! So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway.
(Arthur gets so bored that he leaves)
Another soldier: Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?
Soldier: Noo. Then they had to use a line.
Another soldier: Well, simple! They just use a *standard creeper*
Soldier: What? Hold under the *guardian feathers*
Another soldier: So why not?
(New scene. An "undertaker" bangs a triangle, while his servants dragges
a cart, filled with bodies)
Undertaker: Bring out your dead! (8 times)
(get's another body)
Nine pence.
Bring out your dead! (4 times)
(A man appears, holding another body, an old man over his shoulder)
Man: Here's one.
Undertaker: Nine pence.
Old man: I'm not dead!
Undertaker: What?
Man: Nothing, here's your nine pence!
Old man: I'm not dead!
Undertaker: Hey! He says he's not dead!
Man: Yes, he is!
Old man: I'm not!
Undertaker: He isn't!
Man: Well, he wont be soon, he's very old.
Old man: I'm getting better!
Man: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
Undertaker: Ohh, I can't take him like that! It's against regulation!
Old man: I don't want to go on the cart!
Man: Oh, don't be such a baby!
Undertaker: I can't take him!
Old man: I feel fine!
Man: Do us a favor!
Undertaker: I can't!
Man: Well, could you hang around a couple of minutes, it wont
be long.
Undertaker: Noo, I got to go to Robinsons, they've lost nine today.
Man: When is your next round?
Undertaker: Thursday.
Old man: I think I go for a walk!
Man: You're not fooling anyone you know.
Look. Isn't there something you could do?
Old man: I feel happy! I feel happy!
(The undertaker looks around, then bangs the old man's head with his stick)
Man: Ahh, thanks very much!
Undertaker: Not at all. See you on thursday
Man: Right!
(King Arthur "rides" past them)
Man: Who's that?
Undertaker: I don't know. It must be a king.
Man: Why?
Undertaker: He hasn't got shit all over him.
(New Scene. King Arthur "rides" up against a castle.)
Arthur: Old woman!
Dennis: Man!
Arthur: Man. Sorry! What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm thirtyseven!
Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm thirtyseven! I'm not old!
Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man"?
