ithildin: (Shall Not)
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?

That'll learn you not to turn your back on me ever [g] Believe me, I'm now feeling like all sorts of Highlander pics with a Holy Grail theme. Bring me a shrubbery, it's just a flesh wound, I'm getting better... the possibilities are endless!
