![]() Terry Gilliam Quotation"'One Of Hollywood's Greatest Visionaries'?!? I'm Not Even A Hollywood Director!!!" "There's a side of me that always fell for manic things, frenzied, cartoony performances. I always liked sideshows, freakshows. Jerry Lewis was a freakshow...Absolutely grotesque, awful, tasteless. I like things to be tasteless." "People in Hollywood are not showmen, they're maintenance men, pandering to what they think their audiences want."

Patsy : It's only a model. King Arthur : Shh. Bridgekeeper : Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Lancelot : Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid. Bridgekeeper : What... is your name? Sir Lancelot : My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot. Bridgekeeper : What... is your quest? Sir Lancelot : To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper : What... is your favourite colour? Sir Lancelot : Blue. Bridgekeeper : Go on. Off you go. Sir Lancelot : Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Sir Robin : That's easy. Bridgekeeper : Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Robin : Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper.

What... is your name? Galahad : Sir Galahad of Camelot. Bridgekeeper : What... is your quest? Galahad : I seek the Grail. Bridgekeeper : What... is your favourite colour? Galahad : Blue. No, yel... [he is also thrown over the edge] Galahad : auuuuuuuugh. Bridgekeeper : Hee hee heh. Stop. What... is your name? King Arthur : It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons. Bridgekeeper : What... is your quest? King Arthur : To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper : What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? King Arthur : What do you mean?

King Arthur : Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know. Dingo : [to camera] Do you think this scene should have been cut?

First Writer : Er, well, you haven't told us... what it is yet... Larry Saltzberg : WHAT? First Writer : I like what he likes. Larry Saltzberg : What do you like? Second Writer : I like what he likes. Third Writer : I like what he likes. Fourth Writer : I like what he likes. Fifth Writer : I'm just crazy about what he likes. Larry Saltzberg : What do you like? Sixth Writer : Uh... I... I agree with them. Larry Saltzberg : Good. Now we're getting somewhere.
