***   Blessing from the Lord  ***
                *** Monty Python and the Holy Grail ***
** transcribed from the memory of Malcolm Dickinson CLARINET@YALEVMX 3/30/86 **


Bedevere: And that, my leige, is how we know the earth to be of a girly
         shapement.

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...  Aarthur, King of the Britons...

(the knights fall to their knees)

God: 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, o Lord.
God:  Well KNOCK IT OFF!
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.
     (giant picture of a golden, jewel-encrusted grail appears in the sky)
     (heavenly music)
     Look well, Arthur: 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!
