"Stay the Course"....Anyone remember Monty Python's "The Holy Grail"?

[mtnsnake]

Yeah, you know the scene I'm talking about. That funny scene where King Arthur chops off all the limbs of that "Black Knight" and the Black Knight refuses to stop.

BTW, I am making no analogy between the Black Knight and George Bush. Bush is just as stupid, but he's far too cowardly to be the Black Knight. To me, the "Black Knight" is more like the futile situation that Bush has forced our entire country into with his moronic and senseless "Stay the Course" policy.

Anyway, for anyone who hasn't seen the script of that famous fight scene between King Arthur and the Black Knight, here ya go...the unofficial transcript of that hillarious scene that I got from this site: http://grail.sdsc.edu/main_pages/montypython/script.txt

ARTHUR


You make me sad. But so be it. Come Patsy.





As he moves, the BLACK KNIGHT bars the way.





BLACK KNIGHT


None shall pass.





ARTHUR


What?





BLACK KNIGHT


None shall pass.





ARTHUR


I have no quarrel with you, brave Sir knight, but I must


cross this bridge.





BLACK KNIGHT


Then you shall die.





ARTHUR


I command you, as King of the Britons to stand aside.





BLACK KNIGHT


I move for no man.





ARTHUR


So be it!





ARTHUR draws his sword and approaches the BLACK KNIGHT. A furious fight


now starts lasting about fifteen seconds at which point ARTHUR delivers


a mighty blow which completely severs the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm at


the shoulder. ARTHUR steps back triumphantly.





ARTHUR


Now stand aside worthy adversary.





BLACK KNIGHT


(Glancing at his shoulder)


'Tis but a scratch.





ARTHUR


A scratch? Your arm's off.





BLACK KNIGHT


No, it isn't.





ARTHUR


(Pointing to the arm on ground)


Well, what's that then?





BLACK KNIGHT


I've had worse.





ARTHUR


You're a liar.





BLACK KNIGHT


Come on you pansy!





Another ten seconds furious fighting till ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHTS's


other arm off, also at the shoulder. The arm plus sword, lies on the ground.


ARTHUR


Victory is mine.


(sinking to his knees)


I thank thee O Lord that in thy ...





BLACK KNIGHT


Come on then.





ARTHUR


What?





He kicks ARTHUR hard on the side of the helmet. ARTHUR gets up still


holding his sword. The BLACK KNIGHT comes after him kicking.





ARTHUR


You are indeed brave Sir knight, but the fight is mine.





BLACK KNIGHT


Had enough?





ARTHUR


You stupid bastard. You havn't got any arms left.





BLACK KNIGHT


Course I have.





ARTHUR


Look!





BLACK KNIGHT


What! Just a flesh wound.


(kicks ARTHUR)





ARTHUR


Stop that.





BLACK KNIGHT


(kicking him)


Had enough ... ?





ARTHUR


I'll have your leg.





He is kicked.





Right!





The BLACK KNIGHT kicks him again and ARTHUR chops his leg off.


The BLACK KNIGHT keeps his balance with difficulty.





BLACK KNIGHT


I'll do you for that.





ARTHUR


You'll what ... ?





BLACK KNIGHT


Come Here.





ARTHUR


What are you going to do. bleed on me?





BLACK KNIGHT


I'm invincible!





ARTHUR


You're a looney.





BLACK KNIGHT


The Black Knight always triumphs. Have at you!





ARTHUR takes his last leg off. The BLACK KNIGHT's body lands upright.





BLACK KNIGHT


All right, we'll call it a draw.





ARTHUR


Come, Patsy.





ARTHUR and PATSY start to cross the bridge.





BLACK KNIGHT


Running away eh? You yellow bastard, Come back here and take


what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!
