I want to have babies

[Oeditpus Rex]

And I want you all to call me Loretta.

[Frozen Hamster]

1. You can't have babies.

You don't have a womb. Where's the fetus going to gestate? Are you going to keep it in a box?

[MissHoneychurch]

2. But... you can't have babies

I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

[Frozen Hamster]

6. I have to watch Life of Brian again tonight

Been so long I didn't remember the quote correctly.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Google is your friend

:)

too bad one can't hear the shock and unbelieve in John Cleese voice when you write the words. Esp. at the "you can't have babies"

:rofl:

[Frozen Hamster]

10. I personaly think that the last line is the best of that skit.

"It's symbolic for our struggle against repression!"
<mumbling> "It's symbolic for his struggle against reality."

[MissHoneychurch]

12. yes

it made me giggle just now reading it.

[Frozen Hamster]

14. John Cleese is an absolute master of comedic delivery.

"No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle. Even if he does say Jehova!"

[MissHoneychurch]

19. He sure is

and not only in Life of Brian but also in other movies. He is hilarious. I love this guy. Even the animal shows he makes with BBC are cracking me up.

But my favorite scene in the movie is:

BRIAN:
You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves. You're all individuals!

FOLLOWERS:
Yes, we're all individuals!

BRIAN:
You're all different!

FOLLOWERS:
Yes, we are all different!

DENNIS:
I'm not.

The meaning behind that - just great!!!

[Frozen Hamster]

37. Oh yes, absolute brilliance

And of course:

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. That one and this always make me laugh

no matter how many times I see the film:

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Which one is that one?

I can't listen to it right now - am at work.

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. 'Incontinentia Buttocks'

I know, I know... it's childish humor. But it's such a silly name, and the way Palin delivers it... :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Oh yes

and the faces the soldiers make while trying desperately not to crack up :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Indeed

He delivers that line wonderfully.

Mayhap I can find a sound file...

Well, here's part of it: http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_sounds/lb/box.wav

[MissHoneychurch]

22. I hear it in my ear

I don't even need to listen to it. Seen this movie so often already (Less than you though probably)

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Maybe not

I've seen "Brian" about 12 times, as compared to more than 50 for "Grail."

I most recently watched it last night, since I just got the DVD, along with "Meaning of Life."

Now all I need is "And Now For Something Completely Different" to complete the collection. :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Well I can say

that I watched Life of Brian probably more than 12 times - in German and in English ... now top that :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. The only Python I've seen in German

are bits of the two episodes for German teevee.

Guten Abend, meine Damen und Herren. Sehen Sie nun eine Sendung, geschrieben von sechs jungen Engländern. Ihr Titel ist "Monty Pythons Fliegender Zirkus". Die englische Monty Python's Show wurde vor zwei Jahren zum ersten Mal in der BBC gezeigt.

(In diesem Augenblick kippt die Hintergrundwand nach hinten um, und gibt den Blick auf eine bayrische Gebirgsszene mit See im Vordergrund frei, vor der die Sprecherin sitzt, die ungestört weiterredet.)

Seitdem haben die jungen Leute fünfundzwanzig Shows für das englische Fernsehen gemacht. Was Sie heute abend sehen, wurde speziell für das deutsche und das österreichische Fernsehen geschrieben, gefilmt und produziert.

(Während des letzten Satzes sind zwei Froschmänner aus dem kleinen See aufgetaucht und kommen nun auf die Kamera zu. Die Sprecherin redet noch immer unbekümmert weiter.)

Es ist das erste Mal, daß ein englisches Team eine Show extra für das deutsche und das österreichische Fernssehen gemacht hat. Sie wird fünfundvierzig Minuten dauern und wurde in Farbe gefilmt, in den Studios der Bavaria in München.

(Die Froschmänner sind nun bei der Sprecherin angelangt und tragen sie nach hinten weg auf den Teich zu, während sie noch immer weiterredet, als würde nichts geschehen.)

Die jungen Leute, die die Show geschrieben haben, leben in London, ihr Durchschnittsalter ist 27 Jahre ....

(Ihre Stimme wird leiser, je mehr sie sich von der Kamera entfernt. Während sie immer noch weiterredet und in die Kamera schaut, tragen sie die Froschmänner zum Teich und im Ende auch hinein.)

(Schnitt zu einer Animation: eine Hand hält ein Photo, dasdie Sprecherin beim Untertauchen zeigt. Dann sieht man zwei Frauen, die das Photo abwechselnd betrachten und "oh!" und "ah!" rufen. )

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Did you understand any of that

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. No

But I trust it's funny. :blush:

[In_The_Wind]

3. We can practice.

:)

[dorktv]

4. Well adopt one then Loretta!

[NMMNG]

5. Is this more of that Monty Python stuff?

:silly:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. 'Stuff'

Blasphemer! Unbeliever! Persecute! Kill! Kill!

[Random_Australian]

11. Splitter! You're almost as foul as the PFJ! n/t

[Frozen Hamster]

17. WE'RE the People's Front of Judea!

[NMMNG]

20. Sorry, I never did "get" MP

:shrug:

That doesn't mean I have ill-will towards it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. We'll have to fix that

The "get" part, not your lack of ill will.

Tell me...

What is your name?

What is your quest?

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[NMMNG]

34. The name is Buffy

My quest is....liberty and justice for all. (this may change by tomorrow)

And I have no idea what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is.

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. You are Buffy, Slayer of Fundies

You seek the Holy Grail.

And when confronted with the swallow question, you are to respond, "What do you mean? An African swallow or a European swallow?"



Thus endeth the lesson.

[NMMNG]

36. I see

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

9. how did you guess?

:silly:

[NMMNG]

21. Rumor has it that OR is a big MP fan

So I figured it was a safe guess.

[MissHoneychurch]

25. I wonder where that rumor came from

:D
