You can find the Monty Python scripts at Monty Python's Completely Useless Web
site: http://www.intriguing.com/mp/ As a matter of fact, you'll find a lot of
great Monty Python stuff there. I'm partial to the Brave Sir Robin song which
starts:
Minstrel sings:
Bravely bold Sir Robin
Brought forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh, brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.
(and after a nasty confrontation...)
Minstrel: Robin:
Brave Sir Robin ran away. No!
Bravely ran away away.... I didn't!
When Danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled No!!
Yes brave Sir Robin turned about I didn't!
And gallantly chickened out..
Bravely bravely bravely bravely I never did!
Bravely bravely bravely bravely All lies!
Bravely bravely brave Sir Robin! I never!

If you like, you can get the entire screenplay at Drew's Script-O-Rama (a great
resource) at http://www.script-o-rama.com/ I liked:
INIGO
I admit it -- you are better than I am.
MAN IN BLACK
Then why are you smiling?
(Inches from defeat, Inigo is, in fact, all smiles.)
INIGO
Because I know something you don't know.
MAN IN BLACK
And what is that?
INIGO
I am not left-handed.
(And he throws the six-fingered sword into his right hand and immediately, the
tide of battle turns.)
MAN IN BLACK
You're amazing!
INIGO
I ought to be after twenty years.
(And now the Man In Black is smashed into a stone pillar, pinned there under the
six fingered sword.)
MAN IN BLACK
(hollering it out)
There's something I ought to tell you.
INIGO
Tell me.
MAN IN BLACK
I am not left-handed either.
(And now he changes hands, and at last, the battle is fully joined.)
I always got a smile out of that exchange... :-)
Now, back to chess....
