2. This Graham is no more!

He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-GRAHAM!

15. John Cleese's eulogy

"Graham Chapman, co-author of the 'Parrot Sketch,' is no more. He has ceased to be. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. He has kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last and gone to meet the Great Head of Light Entertainment in the sky.

"And I guess that we're all thinking how sad it is that a man of such talent, such capability and kindness, of such intelligence should now be so suddenly spirited away at the age of only 48, before he'd achieved many of the things of which he was capable, and before he'd had enough fun.

"Well, I feel that I should say, 'Nonsense. Good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard! I hope he fries!' And the reason I think I should say this is, he would never forgive me if I didn't, if I threw away this opportunity to shock you all on his behalf. Anything for him but mindless good taste.

"I could hear him whispering in my ear last night as I was writing this, 'All right, Cleese, you're very proud of being the first person to ever say "shit" on television. If this service is really for me, just for starters, I want you to be the first person ever at a British memorial service to say "fuck"!'"
