As one who’s seen Holy Grail too many times to still be considered mentally healthy, some nitpicks: > [@BuckleberryFerry](#): > > I thought it was _fetchez_ le vache…as in “_get_ the cow?” > > At least that’s what I thought my subtitles said… Yep. Teh quote is “fetchez.” Although, I believe it was pigeon French, since fetchez doesn’t exist in the language, AFAIK. > [@Ponder Stibbons](#): > > If I showed up in England with a scimitar that some moistened bint had lobbed at me, do you think they’d make me king? The quote is: “If I went around saying I was Emperor just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!” > [@Kizarvexius](#): > > You must be a loony. It’s: “You’re a loony.” (Said after the Black Knight declares: “I’m invincible!”) > [@Klytus](#): > > (and it’s “moistened _bink_”) Nope. It’s bint. Bint is originally the arabic word for “daughter.” The Brits later adopted it to be a derogatory term for a woman or girl. (Equivalent of “bitch” basically.) And now for my quote to add: > [@GrizzRich](#): > > I’m here for an argument! Don’t give me that, you slimy little heap of parrot droppings! Shut the door, you blithering git! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, malodorous, toffee-nosed pervert! ---

It’s called ad-libbing. Although in light of the quote, I suppose I should’ve asked if they would make me Emperor. Besides, I just came in here for an argument! ---

**Hoopy Frood** , the line “you must be a loony” is from the Fish License sketch. And it’s “vacuous, toffee-nosed, malodorous pervert”. At least on _The Final Ripoff_ recording. 😃 _A duck!_ ---
