    Our chief weapon is surprise. Fear and surprise. Our two weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency. Our three weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Our four weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope and nice red uniforms.

    Get the comfy chair!

    Seriously, discuss what?

    'Don't care, as long as there's pillows with the comfy chair.

    Don't forget to stretch prisoners on the rack. The plastic one from the middle of the dishwasher, that is.

    Loved it when they were on a bus and the credits were rolling as Michael Palin was telling the bus driver to hurry, hurry, hurry! That cracked me up!

    Yeah, but the thing about the credits is that Micheal was a few secs early before that name was on the screen.

    They should have made more of those. Imagine a scene in a restaurant where the waiters are going over the reservations, like so:

    "We have a Mr. C. Munstowik, party of one, Mr. and Mrs. Blalaktwodder, party of two, the Spanish Inquistion, party of three..."

    "I'd didn't expect the Spanish Inquistion!" And you know what would happen.

    And if you hate me for making up a Monty Python sketch, that was just an example.
