Err...not quite. The king sends Hamlet with R & G to England, but what Hamlet doesn't know is that R & G have a letter from the king asking the English to kill Hamlet. Hamlet catches wind of this, and writes his own letter saying R & G should be killed. He covertly swaps letters, and badabing badaboom, there you have it.Bloomfield wrote:This makes Hamlet suspicious and he sends R & G on a sea voyage to England with instructions to have them killed while at sea.

I haven't seen the movie but I've read Catch-22 several times. Absolutely brilliant.teeisblue wrote:I have to admit, my fave Monty Python line ever-
Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch.
Arthur: A scratch? Your arm's off.
Black Knight: No it isn't.
Arthur: What's that, then?
Black Knight: [after a pause] I've had worse.
and from Catch-22
Yossarian: For Christ's sake, you didn't even take the seeds out.
1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder: Is it really that bad?
Yossarian: It's cotton!
Yossarian: Those Basmatis are trying to kill me.
Minderbinder: No one is trying to kill you sweetheart. Now eat your dessert like a good boy.
Yossarian: Oh yeah? Then why are they shooting at me Milo?
Dobbs: They're shooting at everyone Yossarian.
Yossarian: And what difference does that make?
Dobbs: Look Yossarian, suppose, I mean just suppose everyone thought the same way you do.
Yossarian: Then I'd be a damn fool to think any different.
Yossarian: Let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep flying?
One of my favorite scenes ever is when he blows the cocaine all over by sneezing.dubhlinn wrote:There is a hilarious scene in Woody Allans "Annie Hall" where Diane Keaton is lying in bed smoking a joint while Woody woodys about,She offers him a toke only for him to reply "No thanks,the last time I tried that I tried to get my underpants off over my head".

I don't think i've seen the original one. Something to put in the list. I wonder if it's in DVD [goes check...] hmm, it is. Cool.Walden wrote:The musical-comedy remake, eh?
But it loved the Rick Moranis / Steve Martin version. Bill Murray is in it too, and the voice of the plant is the guy from The Four Tops. Great stuff.

Aliens2: "Man it's hot in here" (in the egg room).
"Yeah, but it's a dry heat."
"Check your corners."
Big Liebowski: As the dude is getting hustled into a limousine by gangster looking guys while he's carrying his White Russian: "Hey, careful. I've got a beverage here."
Tony (paraphrased. I don't have a crystal clear memory for quotes.)

http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/newspage.htm Officially, the government uses the term “flap,” describing it as “a condition, a situation or a state of being, of a group of persons, characterized by an advanced degree of confusion that has not quite reached panic proportions.”

To be technical, that was Luke to the Emperor, I believe.BillChin wrote: "Your overconfidence is your weakness," Return of the Jedi, Darth Vadar to Luke Skywalker, again in a Darth Vadar voice.
+ Bill
Luke: Your overconfidence is your weakness
Emperor: And your faith in your friends is yours!

Here's a few of my favorites:
"I'm your worst nightmare, I'm a **gger with a badge!" - 48 hours
"I'm with Venkman! He got slimed!" .. "Great! Save me some!" - Ghostbusters
"So, it's social. Demented and sad, but social." - Breakfast Club
"You go - We go" - Backdraft (A particular favorite since I used to run EMS/Fire)
"How come in a previous life everyone was somebody famous? How come nobody ever says they were Joe Schmoe?"
"Show me that million dollar arm, because, oh, I got a feeling about that 10 cent head of yours"
"Whats going on?" "Well, we need a live...is it a live?...a live chicken to take the curse off Carlos' glove, Nukes eyelids are jammed, and nobody knows what to get xxxx and millie for a wedding gift. We're dealing with a lot of s*** here." - All from Bull Durham
"What did you do? You started a few fires." "I rained down brimstone, there's a subtle difference." - Dogma (There's a ton I like from Dogma)
"Sometimes, luck itself, is an art." - Color of Money
"And like that...<poof>...he's gone."
"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...Oswald was a fag" - Usual Suspects
I have a ton more, but those will do for now.

My favorite from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
Run away!
Here's an exchange that's a lot like some of the exchanges on the politico/religious sticky thread:
ON THE CASTLE BATTLEMENTS A SOLDIER IS DIMLY SEEN.
Soldier: Halt! Who goes there?
Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the Castle of Camelot, King of all Britons, defeater or the Saxons, Sovereign of all England.
Soldier: Get away!
Arthur: It bloody well is. And this is my trusty servant, Patsy. We have ridden from the further corner of this land, in quest of the Holy Grail, the sacred chalice from which our Lord himself drank at the last Supper. I must speak to your master.
Soldier: What? Ridden on a horse?
Arthur: Yes.
Soldier: You're using coconuts.
Arthur: What?
Soldier: You're using to empty halves of coconuts and banging them together.
Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of Winter covered this land. Our horses grew weary, unable to carry us further. We were forced to leave them by the mountains, and continue with coconuts.
Soldier: Where did you get the coconuts?
Arthur: We found them.
Soldier: FOUND them? The coconut is a tropical fruit. It's not idigenous to these temperate areas.
Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house martin or the plover seek hot lands in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.
Soldier: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
Soldier: What? A SWALLOW carrying a COCONUT?
Arthur: Why not?
Soldier: I'll tell you why not..... because a swallow is about 8 inches long and weighs 5 ounces, and you'd be lucky to find a coconut under a pound.
Arthur: The swallow grips it by the husk.
Soldier: It's not a question of where he grips it, it's a simple question of dynamics.... a 5 1/2-ounce bird could not hold a one-pound coconut.
Arthur: Cannot the tiny ant, building his home from the hard earth carry sixty times his own weight?
Soldier: What kind of ant are you talking about? There are 5,000 different species.
Arthur: You speak with the tongue of snakes. I will take no more of this.
Soldier: Not at all. It's just that ants are my special subject. Ants, all the hymenoptera, and you often get people who just BANDY the word "ant" around as if it meant something. It's like saying: "I am a human" It's so unspecific.
ANOTHER SOLDIER LOOMS ON THE BATTLEMENTS
Soldier 2: Is he talking about ants again?
Soldier: It just annoys me, the way people hear some sensational story about an ant moving 60 times his own weight and...
Soldier 2: He's probably thinking of termites.
Soldier: There you go! YOU'RE just as bad! There's 2,000 species of termite.
Soldier 2: Alright! Alright! Let me finish.
Soldier: They're a totally different order. They're isoptera. They're not remotely comparable.
Soldier2: No. I'm saying tha termites GENERICALLY are able to move...
ARTHUR RAISES HIS EYES HEAVENWARDS, BECKONS TO PATSY AND THEY TURN AND GO OFF INTO THE MISTS. WE STAY ON THE CASTLE FOR A MOMENT AND HEAR:
Soldier: What do you mean "generically"? There's the "plodding termite". the "yellow Angolian termite", I mean you just can't say...
Run away!
