Scene:  A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned
        helmets on. A man and his wife enter.
 
Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear.
Wife (Graham Chapman in drag): All right.
Man (to Waitress): Morning!
Waitress (Terry Jones, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning!
Man:    Well, what've you got?

Wife:   Have you got anything without spam?
Waitrss: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in

****  Completely Different"                                                ****

 
Graham Chapman:  Trouble at mill.
Carol Cleveland: Oh no - what kind of trouble?
Chapman: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle.
Cleveland: Pardon?
Chapman:  One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle.
Cleveland: I don't understand what you're saying.
Chapman: (slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent)
         One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treddle.
Cleveland: Well what on earth does that mean?
Chapman: *I* don't know - Mr. Wentworth just told me to come in here and say
         that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a
         kind of Spanish Inquisition.
 
(JARRING CHORD)
(The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain (Palin) enters, flanked by
two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles (Jones) has goggles pushed over his
forehead. Cardinal Fang (Gilliam) is just Cardinal Fang)
 
Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is
         surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two
         weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our
         *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an
         almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no...
         *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as
         fear, surprise.... I'll come in again. (Exit and exeunt)
 
Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
 
(JARRING CHORD)
(The cardinals burst in)
Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such
         diverse elements as:  fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost
         fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn! (To
         Cardinal Biggles) I can't say it - you'll have to say it.
Biggles: What?
Ximinez: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...'
Biggles: (rather horrified): I couldn't do that...
(Ximinez bundles the cardinals outside again)
 
Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
 
(JARRING CHORD)
(The cardinals enter)
Biggles: Er.... Nobody...um....
Ximinez: Expects...
Biggles: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um...
Ximinez: Inquisition.
Biggles: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact,
         those who do expect -
Ximinez: Our chief weapons are...
Biggles: Our chief weapons are...um...er...
Ximinez: Surprise...
Biggles: Surprise and --
Ximinez: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah!
         ...our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal,
         read the charges.
Fang:    You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy
         against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--'
Biggles: That's enough. (To Cleveland) Now, how do you plead?
Cleveland: We're innocent.
Ximinez: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
 
(Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER')
 
Biggles: We'll soon change your mind about that!
 
(Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL ACTING')
 
Ximinez: Fear, surprise, and a most ruthless--  (controls himself with a
         supreme effort) Ooooh! Now, Cardinal -- the rack!
 
(Biggles produces a plastic-coated dish-drying rack. Ximinez looks at it and
clenches his teeth in an effort not to lose control. He hums heavily to cover
his anger)
 
Ximinez: You....Right! Tie her down.
 
(Fang and Biggles make a pathetic attempt to tie her on to the drying rack)
 
Ximinez: Right! How do you plead?
Cleveland: Innocent.
Ximinez: Ha! Right! Cardinal, give the rack (oh dear) give the rack a turn.
 
(Biggles stands their awkwardly and shrugs his shoulders)
 
Biggles: I....
Ximinez: (gritting his teeth) I *know*, I know you can't. I didn't want to say
         anything. I just wanted to try and ignore your crass mistake.
Biggles: I...
Ximinez: It makes it all seem so stupid.
Biggles: Shall I...?
Ximinez: No, just pretend for God's sake. Ha! Ha! Ha!
 
(Biggles turns an imaginary handle on the side of the dish-rack)
 
(Cut to them torturing a dear old lady, Marjorie Wilde).
 
Ximinez: Now, old woman -- you are accused of heresy on three counts -- heresy
         by thought, heresy by word, heresy by deed, and heresy by action --
         *four* counts. Do you confess?
Wilde:   I don't understand what I'm accused of.
Ximinez: Ha! Then we'll make you understand! Biggles! Fetch...THE CUSHIONS!
 
(JARRING CHORD)
(Biggles holds out two ordinary modern household cushions)
 
Biggles: Here they are, lord.
Ximinez: Now, old lady -- you have one last chance. Confess the heinous sin
         of heresy, reject the works of the ungodly -- *two* last chances. And
         you shall be free -- *three* last chances. You have three last
         chances, the nature of which I have divulged in my previous 
         utterance.
Wilde:   I don't know what you're talking about.
Ximinez: Right! If that's the way you want it -- Cardinal! Poke her with the
         soft cushions!
 
(Biggles carries out this rather pathetic torture)
 
Ximinez: Confess! Confess! Confess!
Biggles: It doesn't seem to be hurting her, lord.
Ximinez: Have you got all the stuffing up one end?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez  (angrily hurling away the cushions):  Hm! She is made of harder
         stuff! Cardinal Fang! Fetch...THE COMFY CHAIR!
 
(JARRING CHORD)
(Zoom into Fang's horrified face)
 
Fang (terrified): The...Comfy Chair?
 
(Biggles pushes in a comfy chair -- a really plush one)
 
Ximinez: So you think you are strong because you can survive the soft
         cushions. Well, we shall see. Biggles! Put her in the Comfy Chair!
 
(They roughly push her into the Comfy Chair)
 
Ximinez  (with a cruel leer): Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until
         lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven.
         (aside, to Biggles) Is that really all it is?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we?
         Confess, woman. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess!
Biggles: I confess!
Ximinez: Not you!
 



****     EVERY SPERM IS SACRED (Michael Palin & Terry Jones)               ****
****     by Michael Palin and Terry Jones                                  ****
****     from Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"                         ****

 
There are Jews in the world, there are Buddhists,
there are Hindus and Mormons and then
there are those that follow Mohammed  -but-
I've never been one of them.
I am a Roman Catholic
and have been since before I was born,
and the one thing they say about Catholics is
they'll take you as soon as you're warm.
You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on, you're
a Catholic the moment dad came
...Because...
Every sperm is sacred,
every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate. (2x)
Let the heathens spill theirs,
on the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.
Every sperm is wanted,
every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed,
in your neighborhood.
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
spill theirs just anywhere
but God loves those who treat their
semen with more care.
(misc choruses)
Every sperm is useful,
every sperm is fine.
God needs everybodies,
mine, and mine, and mine.
Let the pagans spill theirs
on mountain hill and plain.
God shall strike them down for
each sperm that's spilled in vain.
(misc. choruses and finale)

Adrian Wapcaplet:  Aah, come in, come in, Mr....Simpson. Aaah, welcome to
        Mousebat, Follicle, Goosecreature, Ampersand, Spong, Wapcaplet,
        Looseliver, Vendetta and Prang!
Mr. Simpson: Thank you.
Wapcap: Do sit down--my name's Wapcaplet, Adrian Wapcaplet...
Simpsn: How'd'y'do.
Wapcap: Now, Mr. Simpson... Simpson, Simpson... French, is it?
Simpsn: No.
Wapcap: Aah. Now, I understand you want us to advertise your washing powder.
Simpsn: String.
Wapcap: String, washing powder, what's the difference. We can sell *anything*.
Simpsn: Good. Well I have this large quantity of string, a hundred and twenty-
        two thousand *miles* of it to be exact, which I inherited, and I
        thought if I advertised it--
Wapcap: Of course! A national campaign. Useful stuff, string, no trouble
        there.
Simpsn: Ah, but there's a snag, you see. Due to bad planning, the hundred and
        twenty-two thousand miles is in three inch lengths. So it's not very
        useful.
Wapcap: Well, that's our selling point!
        "SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL STRINGETTES!"
Simpsn: What?
Wapcap: "THE NOW STRING! READY CUT, EASY TO HANDLE, SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL
        EMPEROR STRINGETTES - JUST THE RIGHT LENGTH!"
Simpsn: For what?
Wapcap: "A MILLION HOUSEHOLD USES!"
Simpsn: Such as?
Wapcap: Uhmm...Tying up very small parcels, attaching notes to pigeons' legs,
        uh, destroying household pests...
Simpsn: Destroying household pests?! How?
Wapcap: Well, if they're bigger than a mouse, you can strangle them with it,
        and if they're smaller than, you flog them to death with it!
Simpsn: Well *surely*!....
Wapcap: "DESTROY NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF KNOWN HOUSEHOLD PESTS WITH PRE-SLICED,
        RUSTPROOF, EASY-TO-HANDLE, LOW CALORIE SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL EMPEROR
        STRINGETTES, FREE FROM ARTIFICIAL COLORING, AS USED IN HOSPITALS!"
Simpsn: 'Ospitals!?!?!?!!?
Wapcap: Have you ever in a Hospital where they didn't have string?
Simpsn: No, but it's only *string*!
Wapcap: ONLY STRING?! It's everything! It's...it's waterproof!
Simpsn: No it isn't!
Wapcap: All right, it's water resistant then!
Simpsn: It isn't!
Wapcap: All right, it's water absorbent! It's...Super Absorbent String!
        "ABSORB WATER TODAY WITH SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL WATER ABSORB-A-TEX
        STRINGETTES! AWAY WITH FLOODS!"
Simpsn: You just said it was waterproof!
Wapcap: "AWAY WITH THE DULL DRUDGERY OF WORKADAY TIDAL WAVES! USE SIMPSON'S
        INDIVIDUAL FLOOD PREVENTERS!"
Simpsn: You're mad!
Wapcap: Shut up, shut up, shut up! Sex, sex sex, must get sex into it. Wait,
        I see a television commercial-
 
   There's this nude woman in a bath holding a bit of your string. That's
   great, great, but we need a doctor, got to have a medical opinion.
 
   There's a nude woman in a bath with a doctor--that's too sexy. Put an
   archbishop there watching them, that'll take the curse off it. Now, we
   need children and animals.
 
   There's two kids admiring the string, and a dog admiring the archbishop
   who's blessing the string. Uhh...international flavor's missing...make the
   archbishop Greek Orthodox. Why not Archbishop Macarios?  No, no, he's
   dead... nevermind, we'll get his brother, it'll be cheaper... So, there's
   this nude woman....

Bailiff (Cleese): I'm sorry I'm late, m'lud, I couldn't find a kosher car
        park. Don't bother to recap, m'lud, I'll pick it up as we go
        along. Call Mrs. Fiona Lewis.
 
(Enter Chapman, in drag)
 
Fiona Lewis (Chapman):  I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
        nothing but the truth, so anyway, I said to her, I said, they
        can't afford that on what he earns, I mean for a start
        the feathers get up your nose, I ask you, four and sixpence a pound,
        and him with a wooden leg, I don't know how she puts up with it after
        all the trouble she's had with her you-know-what, anyway, it *was* a
        white wedding, much to everyone's surprise, of course they bought
        everything on the hire purchase, I think they ought to send them back
        where they came from, I mean you've got to be cruel to be kind, so
        Mrs. Harris said, so she said she said she said, a dead crab she said
        she said?  well her sister's gone to Rhodesia, what with her womb and
        all, and her youngest, fit as a filing cabinet, and the goldfish, the
        goldfish, they've got whooping-cough, they keep spitting water at the
        Bratbys, well they *do*, don't they, I mean, you can't*, can you, I
        mean they're not even married or anything, they're not even
        *divorced*, and he's in the KGB if you ask me, he says he's a tree
        surgeon, but I don't like the sound of his liver, all that squeaking
        and banging every night till the small hours, well, his mother's been
        much better since she had her head off, don't you talk to me about
        bladders, I said...
 


****  More Monty Python!!! A little-known biblical lesson                  ****
****  Transcribed by Bret "Who else?" Shefter ( SHEBREB@YALEVM.BITNET )    ****
 
 
                     St. Victor of Python
 
     And it came to pass that Saint Victor was taken from this place
to another place, where he was lain to rest himself amongst sheets
of muslin and velvet.
     And there stroked was he by maidens of the Orient.
     For sixteen days and nights stroked they him, yea verily and
caressed him.
     His hair, ruffled they. And their fingers rubbethed they in oil
of olives, and ranneth them across all parts of his body for as much
as to soothe him.
     And the soles of his feet licked they. And the upper parts of
his thigh did they anoint with the balm of forbidden trees.
     And with the teeth of their mouths, nibbled they the pointed
bits at the top of his ears. Yea verily, and did their tongues
thereof make themselves acquainted with his most secret places.
     For fifteen days and nights did Victor withstand these maidens,
until he cried out, saying:
     "This...is fantastic! Oh...this is *terrific!!*"
     And the Lord did here the cry of Victor. And verily came He down
and slew the maidens. And caused their cottonwool bugs to blow away,
and their Kleenex to be laid waste utterly.
     And Victor, in his anguish, cried out that the Lord was a rotten
bastard.
     So the Lord sent an angel to comfort Victor for the weekend.
     And entered they together the jaccuzzi.
 
   Here endeth the lesson.

****   from Monty Python's Contractual Obligations Album                   ****

 
Man:    (entering a shop) Um, excuse me, is this the undertaker's?
Undertaker: Yup, that's right, what can I do for you, squire?
Man:    Um, well, I wonder if you can help me. My mother has just died
        and I'm not quite sure what I should do.
Undrtk: Ah, well, we can 'elp you. We deal with stiffs.
Man:    (aghast) Stiffs? 
Undrtk: Yea. Now there's three things we can do with your mum. We can bury
        her, burn her, or dump her.
Man:    Dump her?
Undrtk: Dump her in the Thames.
Man:    (still aghast) What?
Undrtk: Oh, did you like her?
Man:    Yes!
Undrtk: Oh well, we won't dump her, then.  Well, what do you think: burn her,
        or bury her?
Man:    Um, well, um, which would you recommend?
Undrtk: Well they're both nasty. If we burn her, she gets stuffed in the
        flames, crackle, crackle, crackle, which is a bit of a shock if she's
        not quite dead. But quick. And then you get a box of ashes, which you
        can pretend are hers.
Man:    (timidly) Oh.
Undrtk: Or, if you don't wanna fry her, you can bury her. And then she'll get
        eaten up by maggots and weevils, nibble, nibble, nibble, which isn't
        so hot if, as I said, she's not quite dead.
Man:    I see. Um. Well, I.. I.. I.. I'm not very sure. She's definitely dead.
Undrtk: Where is she?
Man:    In the sack.
Undrtk: Let's 'ave a look.
 
(FX: rustle of bag opening)
 
Undrtk: Umm, she looks quite young.
Man:    Yes, she was.
Undrtk: (over his shoulder) FRED!
Fred:   (offstage) Yea!
Undrtk: I THINK WE'VE GOT AN EATER!
Fred:   (offstage) I'll get the oven on!
Man:    Um, er...excuse me, um, are you... are you suggesting we should
        eat my mother?
(pause)
Undrtk: Yeah. Not raw, not raw. We cook her. She'd be delicious with a few
        french fries, a bit of stuffing. Delicious! (smacks his lips)
Man:    What! (he stammers)
(pause)
Man:    Actually, I do feel a bit peckish - No! NO, I can't!
Undrtk: Look, we'll eat your mum. Then, if you feel a bit guilty about it
        afterwards, we can dig a grave and you can throw up into it.
Man:    All right.

Inspector: 'ELLO!
Mr. Hilton: 'Ello.
Inspector:  Mr. 'ilton?
Hilton: A-yes?
Insp. : You are the sole proprietor and owner of the Whizzo Chocolate Company?
Hilton: I am, yes.
Insp. : Constable Clitoris and I are from the 'ygiene squad, and we'd like to
        have a word with you about your box of chocolates entitled the "Whizzo
        Quality Assortment".
Hilton: Oh, yes.
Insp. : If I may begin at the beginning. First there is the Cherry Fondue.
        Now this is extremely nasty. (pause) But we can't prosecute you for
        that.
Hilton: Ah, agreed.
Insp. : Then we have number four. Number four: Crunchy Frog.
Hilton: Yes.
Insp. : Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in 'ere?
Hilton: Yes, a little one.
Insp. : What sort of frog?
Hilton: A...a *dead* frog.
Insp. : Is it cooked?
Hilton: No.
Insp. : What, a RAW frog?!?
Hilton: Oh, we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq,
        cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and
        sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate
        envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
Insp. : That's as may be, but it's still a frog!
Hilton: What else?
Insp. : Well, don't you even take the bones out?
Hilton: If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?
Insp. : Constable Clitoris et one of those!! We have to protect the public!
Clit. : Uh, would you excuse me a moment, Sir?   (exits)
Insp. : We have to protect the public! People aren't going to think there's a
        real frog in chocolate! Constable Clitoris thought it was an almond
        whirl! They're bound to expect some sort of mock frog!
Hilton: (outraged) MOCK frog!?! We use NO artificial additives or
        preservatives of ANY kind!
Insp. : Nevertheless, I advise you in future to replace the words "Crunchy
        Frog" with the legend, "Crunchy, Raw, Unboned Real Dead Frog" if you
        wish to avoid prosecution!
Hilton: What about our sales?
Insp. : FUCK your sales! We've got to protect the public! Now what about this
        one, number five, it was number five, wasn't it?  Number five:  Ram's
        Bladder Cup. (beat) Now, what sort of confectionery is that?!?
Hilton: Oh, we use only the finest juicy chunks of fresh Cornish Ram's
        bladder, emptied, steamed, flavored with sesame seeds, whipped into a
        fondue, and garnished with lark's vomit.
Insp. : LARK'S VOMIT?!?!?
Hilton: Correct.
Insp. : It doesn't say anything here about lark's vomit!
Hilton: Ah, it does, at the bottom of the label, after "monosodium glutamate".
Insp. : I hardly think that's good enough! I think it's be more appropriate if
        the box bore a great red label: "WARNING: LARK'S VOMIT!!!"
Hilton: Our sales would plummet!
Insp. : (screaming) Well why don't you move into more conventional areas of
        confectionery??!!
(the constable returns)
Insp. : Like Praline, or, or Lime Creme, a very popular flavor, I'm lead to

Insp. : (continuing)  And what is this one: Spring Surprise?
Hilton: Ah, that's one of our specialities. Covered in dark, velvety
        chocolate, when you pop it into your mouth, stainless steel bolts
        spring out and plunge straight through both cheeks.
Insp. : (stunned) Well where's the pleasure in THAT?!?  If people pop a nice
        little chockie into their mouth, they don't expect to get their cheeks
        pierced!!! In any case, it is an inadequate description of the
        sweetmeat. I shall have to ask you to accompany me to the station.
Hilton: (shrugging) It's a fair cop.
Insp. : And DON'T talk to the audience.

****  The Australian Table Wines sketch
****  From Monty Python


A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a
pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette,
but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.
 
"Black Stump Bordeaux" is rightly praised as a peppermint flavored
Burgundy, whilst a good "Sydney Syrup" can rank with any of the world's
best sugary wines.
 
"Chateau Bleu", too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and
its lingering afterburn.
 
"Old Smokey, 1968" has been compared favorably to a Welsh claret,
whilst the Australian wino society thoroughly recommends a 1970 "Coq du
Rod Laver", which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule:  8 bottles
of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney
Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an
hour.
 
Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a
bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a
wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.
 
Another good fighting wine is "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow", which is
particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.
 
Quite the reverse is true of "Chateau Chunder", which is an Appalachian
control, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine
which really opens up the sluices at both ends.
 
Real emetic fans will also go for a "Hobart Muddy", and a prize winning
"Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga", which has a
bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.
