Monty Python - The French Castle Scene King Arthur and his knights of the round table, along with their servants, "ride" up to a castle. King Arthur's servant, Patsy, blows a horn. Arthur: HELLO! *waits* Bedevere: HELLO! *waits* An armour-clad face appears at the top of the rampart. It speaks in an outrageous French accent. Soldier: 'Allo! 'Oo is it? Arthur: It is I, King Arthur, and these are my knights of the Round Table. Whose castle is this? Soldier: This is the castle of my master, Guy de Lombard. Arthur: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail. Soldier: Well, I'll ask 'im, but I don't think 'e'll be very keen-- 'e's already got one, you see? Arthur: What? Lancelot: He says they've already *got* one! Arthur: (confused) Are you *sure* he's got one? Soldier: Oh yes, it's ver' naahs. (to the other soldiers:) I told 'em we've already *got* one! (they snicker) Arthur: (taken a bit off balance) Well... ah, um... Can we come up and have a look? Soldier: Of course not! You are English types. Arthur: Well, what are you then? Soldier: (Indignant) Ah'm French! Why do you think I have this out-rrrageous accent, you silly king?! Arthur: What are you doing in *England*? Soldier: Mind your own business! Arthur: If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force! Soldier: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person! Ah blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur Keeeng"! You and all your silly English Knnnnnnnn-ighuts!!! (the soldier proceeds to bang on his helmet with his hands and stick out his tongue at the knights, making strange noises.) Lancelot: What a strange person. Arthur: (getting mad) Now look here, my good ma-- Soldier: Ah don' wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough wiper! Ah fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries! Galahad: Is there someone else up there we can talk to? Soldier: No!! Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time! |
