A Blessing From The Lord (from Monty Python and the Holy Grail) Bedevere: ...and that, My Leige, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped. Arthur: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again, how sheep's bladders can be employed to prevent earthquakes. Bedevere: Oh, certainly, Sir. You see-- (thunder. the clouds open and a giant animated face is seen. it speaks:) God: Aaaarthur...Aaarthur, King of the Britons... (the knights fall to their knees) God: (noticing) Oh don't grovel! Arthur: Sorry, Lord... God: And DON'T apologize!! Every time I try to talk to somebody, its "I'm sorry"-this and "Forgive me"-that and "I'm not worthy"... It's like those miserable Psalms--they're soooo depressing! Arthur: Yes, Lord. God: What're you doing now?! Arthur: Averting my eyes, Oh Lord. God: Well, STOP IT! Arthur: Yes, Lord. God: Right. Arthur, King of the Britons, I have decided to set you a task as an example in these dark times. Arthur: Good idear, o Lord! God: (thunder) 'COURSE IT'S A GOOD IDEA! Now: this is the Holy Grail. (heavenly music as a giant picture of a golden, jewel-encrusted grail appears in the sky) Look well, Arthur, for it is your mission to seek this Grail. That is your purpose, Arthur: The Quest for the Holy Grail! (the clouds slam shut) Arthur: A blessing! A blessing from the Lord! Lancelot: God be praised!
