Help! I'm Being Repressed!
I was messing around with new filters yesterday, and one of them is called 'flood'. The results cracked me up, because the first thing I thought of was...
This! Methos: watery tart
Yes, I am easily amused!
It's too much text for an icon, but I wanted it anyway, so it's giant icon! Maybe I could make it into a banner... And yes, the quote is actually two quotes put together. It was interesting looking for the exact quote how many people remember the line as a combination of several lines from the same scene.
ARTHUR:
I am your king!
WOMAN:
Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR:
You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN:
Well, how did you become King, then?
ARTHUR:
The Lady of the Lake,...
[angels sing]
...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
[singing stops]
That is why I am your king!
DENNIS:
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR:
Be quiet!
DENNIS:
Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR:
Shut up!
DENNIS:
I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
ARTHUR:
Shut up, will you? Shut up!
DENNIS:
Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR:
Shut up!
DENNIS:
Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR:
Bloody peasant!
DENNIS:
Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?

What's that I hear?
Is it the sound of coconut laden swallows in the distance?

Ahem
Cough
Well, of course the African tree swallow, is well known for their coconut carrying abilities but I suspect, in this instance, it’s the rare Asian clippity-clop swallow - known for it’s strange, horse-like mating call - who is the culprit.
