re: lets celebrate Monty Python

How does it ummm . . . How does it work?

I know not my liege.

Consult the Book of Armaments.

Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one:

"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Connie Booth admits that John Cleese wrote the dialogue of Fawlty Towers

quote:

---

Connie Booth: "In the year and a half it took to write Fawlty Towers, John and I never imagined the impact the show would have," she stated. "On its 50th anniversary, I’d like to take the opportunity to get something straight. John wrote the dialogue."

The 85-year-old continued: "Before that dialogue was written, he and I developed the plots. Each episode took about a month to contrive. Out of the ridiculous complications of farce, his brilliant lines emerged.

"When the issue of billing arose, I thought ‘Written by John Cleese, storyline by us both’ would’ve been fine for me. John said they didn’t do that in TV comedy and insisted on co-authorship."

She went on to say that "yielding to John's generous offer turned out to be a kind of poisoned chalice. For half a century, I’ve been receiving praise for lines which John wrote.

"When people quote back words from the script, instead of flattered, I felt counterfeit. I’ve had to say, 'No, John wrote that.'"
