1. "Must be a king.”
   “Why?”
   “He ‘asn’t got shiat all over him.”

2. Wasn’t this from the movie “Monty Python and The Holy Grail” in that scene where Arthur explains to the peasant that he’s the king because the Lady of the Lake gave him the sword Excalibur?

3. Yes it was. The peasant replied something about strange tarts handing out swords not being a good basis for a system of government. Whereupon Arthur started repressing the peasant.

   Wish I could remember the exact quote. Arrghh! Now I have to get the movie again. Where’s my Netflix bookmark…

4. Monty Python And The Holy Grail

   OLD WOMAN: Well, how did you become king, then?

   ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held Excalibur aloft from the bosom of the water to signify by Divine Providence ...  that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur ... That is why I am your king!

   OLD WOMAN: Is Frank in?  He’d be able to deal with this one.

   DENNIS: Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ... that’s no basis for a system of government.  Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

   ARTHUR: Be quiet!

   DENNIS: You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ‘cause some watery tart threw some cutlery at you!

   ARTHUR: Shut up!

   DENNIS: I mean, if I went around saying I was an Emperor because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, people would put me away!

   ARTHUR: (Grabbing him by the collar) Shut up, will you. Shut up!
