Monty Python's Flying Circus · Season 1, Episode 8
“Full Frontal Nudity” · Season 1, Episode 8
In this episode: Mr. Praline (1)
It's not pining, it's passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off the mortal coil, rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!
20th Century Vole
[Mr Salzburg has just fired two of his writers for his new film, and is closing in on another one]
You!
Ah, well, I... I think it's an excellent idea!
Are you a yes man?
No! I mean, I have a few things against it!
So you think it's lousy!
No, no! I mean, it takes time!
ARE YOU BEING INDECISIVE?
Yo! Nes! Perhaps! [runs out the door]
Watkins, why did you join the army?
For the water-skiing and the travel, sir. Not for the killing, sir. I asked them to put it on my form, sir: "no killing".
Watkins, are you a pacifist?
No, sir. I'm not a pacifist, sir: I'm a coward.
[disgusted] That's a very silly line. Sit down!
Now, I've noticed a tendency for this program to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along, but I'm not having things getting silly. Those last two sketches I did got very silly indeed; And the last ones about the beds was even sillier! Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do...except perhaps my wife...and some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson. Come to think of it, most people like a good laugh more than I do, but that's beside the point.
