Monty Python's Flying Circus 4x5

1. Let's bring them out!

2. Any old iron!

3. Any old iron!

4. Let's bring them— Oh, thank you.

5. Any old iron!

6. Thank you.

7. Any old iron!

8. Right! Thanks!

9. Any old metal!

10. We are here today to witness the opening of a new box

11. to replace the box which used lo sland

12. on the corner of Ulverslon Road

13. and Sandwood Crescent.

14. Owing to a program of road-widening

15. being carried out by the borough council,

16. lhe Ulverslon Road box was removed

17. leaving the wall box in Esher Road

18. as the only box for the people of the Ulverston Road area.

19. This new box will enable the people

20. of the Ulverston Road area

21. to post letters, postcards and small packages

22. without recourse to the Esher Road box

23. or to the box outside the post office at Turner's Parade

24. which many people used to use

25. but which has now been discontinued

26. owing to the opening of this box

27. and also to the reorganization of box distribution

28. throughout the whole area

29. which comes into force with the opening of the new boxes

30. at the Wyatt Road post office in July.

31. A perfectly ordinary morning

32. in a perfectly ordinary English suburb.

33. Life goes on as it has done for years.

34. But soon, this quiet pattern of

35. life was to change irrevocably.

36. Soon this quiet pattern of life was to change irrevocably,

37. The commonplace routine of a typical Monday morning

38. would never be the same again.

39. For into this quiet little community came Mr. Neutron.

40. Mr. Neutron, the most dangerous

41. and terrifying man in the world.

42. The man with the strength of an army,

43. the wisdom of all the scholars in history.

44. The man who had the power to destroy the world.

45. No one knows what strange and distant planet he came from,

46. or where he was going to.

47. Wherever he went,

48. terror and destruction were sure to follow.

49. For this little neighbourhood

50. would surely never be the same again.

51. Nothing was ever the same in the world of Mr. Neutron.

52. Mr. Neutron. The man whose incredible power

53. has made him the most feared man of all time,

54. waits for his moment to destroy

55. this little world utterly.

56. Then there's Stanley. He's our eldest.

57. He's a biochemist in Sutton. He's married to Shirley.

58. Shirley, who used to be the hairdresser?

59. Yes, that's right. I think she's a lovely person.

60. Mind you, my husband doesn't.

61. He thinks she's a bit flash. Hm!

62. I hate her. I hate her guts.

63. They come down weekends.

64. You'll be able to meet them then.

65. I'd love to.

66. Hairdressing is very interesting.

67. Oh, yes, and very important too.

68. If you don't care for your scalp, you get rabies.

69. Then there's Kenneth. He's our youngest.

70. He's a bit of a problem.

71. At least, my husband thinks so.

72. Nasty little piece of work, he is. I hate him.

73. Mind you, the one we don't hear

74. much about now is Karen.

75. She married a Canadian. Uh, he's a dentist.

76. Uh, they live in Alberta. Two lovely children.

77. Gary, who's 3, Leslie, who's 6.

78. Leslie looks like the spitting image of Karen.

79. Do you want to see a photo?

80. Oh, yes, please.

81. All right.

82. They're a couple of little bastards. I hate them.

83. They've got eyes like little pigs,

84. just like their mother.

85. She's a disaster.

86. A really horrible-looking person, she is.

87. I thought that one would stay on the shelf,

88. but along comes this stupid dentist git.

89. He's a real creepy little bastard, he is. I hate him.

90. This is a nice area.

91. It's like a bloody graveyard. I hate it.

92. It's handy for the shops and convenient for the West End.

93. Oh, if you like going to the West End.

94. I think it's a stinking dump.

95. So, Mr. Neutron, the most powerful man in the universe,

96. the man who could see through 10-inch steel,

97. the man who could catch H-bombs in his teeth,

98. sat and bided his time,

99. surely just waiting for the moment

100. to use his incredible powers to destroy and lay waste all around him.

101. Meanwhile, in Washington

102. at the headquarters of F.E.A.R.,

103. the Federal Egg Answering Room—

104. In reality, a front name for F.E.E.B.L.E:

105. The Free World Extra-Earthly Bodies Location

106. and Extermination Center.

107. All was not well.

108. Good God!

109. Get me the supreme commander

110. of land, sea and air forces, immediately.

111. Hello?

112. This is Carpenter from F.E.A.R.

113. You mean F.E.E.B.L.E.?

114. Yes, sir.

115. What is it?

116. Mr. Neutron is missing, sir.

117. Mr. Neutron? Oh, my God.

118. Okay. Surround the entire city.

119. Send in four waves of armed paratroopers

120. with full ground-to-air missile support.

121. Alert all air bases. Destroy all roads.

122. We'll bomb the town flat if we have to!

123. Sir, he's not in Washington, sir.

124. Okay, okay. Hold everything. Hold everything!

125. Hold it, hold it. Lay off, lay off. Lay off.

126. Where is he?

127. We don't know, sir.

128. All we know is he checked out of his hotel

129. and took a bus to the airport.

130. All right.

131. I want a full-scale red alert throughout the world.

132. Surround everyone with everything we've got.

133. Mobilize every fighting unit

134. and every weapon we can lay our hands on.

135. I want...

136. I want three full-scale global nuclear alerts

137. with every army, navy and air force unit

138. on eternal standby.

139. Right, sir.

140. And introduce conscription.

141. Yes, sir.

142. Right.

143. So the world was in the grip of F.E.A.R.

144. A huge and terrifying crisis generated by one man.

145. Easily the most dangerous man

146. the world has ever seen, honestly.

147. Though still biding his time, he could strike at any moment.

148. Could he be stopped in time?

149. You've got a bit of work to do there, then.

150. Yes, it is a problem.

151. Mrs. Ottershaw never used to bother.

152. Then, of course, she was very old. She was 206.

153. But I must be going.

154. If you need a hand, I'll send Frank round.

155. He could do with a bit of exercise.

156. Fat old bastard.

157. Yes?

158. Captain Carpenter here, sir.

159. Uh, we've been on red alert now for three days, sir,

160. and still no sign of Mr. Neutron.

161. Have we bombed anywhere?

162. Have we shown him we got teeth?

163. Oh, yes, sir. We've bombed a lot of places flat, sir.

164. Good, good. We don't want anyone to think we're chicken.

165. Oh, no. They don't think that, sir.

166. Everyone's really scared of us, sir.

167. Of us?

168. Yes, sir.

169. Of our power?

170. Oh, yes, sir.

171. They're really scared

172. when they see those big planes come over.

173. Wow, I bet they are. Ho-ho-ho! I bet they are.

174. I bet they're really scared.

175. Oh, they are, sir.

176. Do we have any figures on how scared they are?

177. Uh, no. No figures, sir. But they sure were scared.

178. Ah!

179. But it's not working?

180. No, sir.

181. Okay. We'll try another tactic.

182. We'll try and outsmart this Neutron guy.

183. Yeah, there's one man I know who could nail him.

184. One guy? That won't frighten anyone, sir.

185. He's the most brilliant man I ever met.

186. We were in the CIA together. He's retired now.

187. He breeds rabbits up in the Yukon.

188. What's his name, sir?

189. His name is Teddy Salad.

190. Salad, as in...?

191. Lettuces, cucumber, radishes. Yeah,yeah, yeah.

192. Where do I find him, sir?

193. The Yukon.

194. Oh, and Carpenter?

195. Yes, sir?

196. Make sure you get a decent disguise.

197. Oh, uh, hello. My name's Carpenter.

198. I'm from the U.S. government.

199. Are you from the Army?

200. No. No, no, no.

201. I'm, uh— I'm from the ballet.

202. The U.S. Government Ballet.

203. The ballet? The ballet's coming here?

204. Uh, well, maybe.

205. Oh, that's great. We love the ballet.

206. Last year, some of us from Yellow River,

207. we go to a party to go and see the ballet in Montreal.

208. Look, l— I was, uh, wondering—

209. Oh, we had a marvellous time.

210. It was, uh, Margot Fonteyn dancing Les Sylphides.

211. Oh, it was beautiful.

212. Look, do you know—? Do you know how old she is?

213. Who? Margot Fonteyn.

214. No. She's 206.

215. Oh.

216. Well, look, I hear there's a U.S. ballet organizer

217. round these parts by the name of Teddy Salad.

218. You mean the special agent?

219. Well, uh...

220. He's an ex-CIA man. He's not a ballet dancer.

221. Oh, uh, well, I just want to see

222. him on some ballet business.

223. Oh, well, you could try the store.

224. Oh, thank you.

225. Hey, could you get us Lionel Blair's autograph?

226. While precious time

227. was being lost in Canada,

228. the seconds were ticking away for the free world.

229. Already, Neutron, who, you will remember

230. is infinitely the most dangerous man in the world,

231. he really is,

232. was gathering allies together.

233. Men of weak will,

234. who he could bend to his evil trade of world domination.

235. Try having an omelet for your evening meal.

236. Perhaps with yogurt and grapefruit.

237. Oh, I've tried that. I once got down to 56 stone.

238. But I couldn't stay like that.

239. I had to take potatoes wherever I went.

240. I used to go out to the cinema

241. with three hundredweight of King Edwards.

242. I'd eat them all before I got out of the toilet.

243. I had to go on to bread.

244. What about salad?

245. Teddy Salad?

246. No, no, no. Salad.

247. As in lettuces, radishes, cucumber.

248. Don't like it?

249. No, l— I didn't want to eat a salad.

250. I wanted to find out about a man called Salad.

251. You're the first person to order a salad here for two years.

252. All the Eskimos eat in here is fish, fish, fish.

253. We are not Eskimos.

254. Where's our fish? We've finished our fish.

255. What fish you want today, huh?

256. Bream.

257. Bream? Where do | get bream this time of year?

258. You bloody, choosy Eskimo pests.

259. We are not Eskimos.

260. Why don't you like a nice plate of cannelloni?

261. Ugh!

262. That's not fish.

263. Oh, I've had my lot of the Arctic Circle.

264. I wish I was back in Oldham.

265. Do any of you Eskimos

266. speak English?

267. We are not Eskimos.

268. I am.

269. Shh!

270. Haddock!

271. Where?

272. Do any of you know a man called Salad?

273. What, salad as in...?

274. Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, yeah.

275. Like you have on your plate?

276. Yeah, that's right.

277. No, I'm afraid not.

278. Where's our fish?

279. What does this Teddy Salad do?

280. Oh, uh, he— He's a— He's a hen-teaser.

281. No, the only Teddy Salad

282. we know is a CIA man.

283. Oh, uh, he— He might know.

284. Gunga, gunga, where's our fish?

285. Where will I find him?

286. Oh, he lives up at Kipper Sound.

287. Thanks a lot.

288. Fishy, fishy, eye-yo

289. Um, are you in international spying too?

290. Uh, no. No, no, no, no.

291. I'm, uh— I'm with the, uh—

292. The, uh— The U.S. Ballet Force.

293. Who are you with?

294. MI6. But not a word to the Eskimos.

295. Fishy, fishy, eye-yo

296. Here's your bloody fish.

297. Thank you, Anouk.

298. I'm not an Eskimo!

299. Hey!

300. Hey! Hey!

301. Hi. I'm Carpenter of the U.S. Ballet.

302. Hey, great to have you around.

303. The last decent ballet we got around here was Ballet Ramben.

304. Thursday, they did Péflouchka.

305. Then on Saturday, they did Fille Mal Gardée.

306. I thought it was a bit slow, but—

307. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It sure is,

308. uh, nice to see you, Mr. Salad.

309. I ain't Salad. What?

310. You want Teddy Salad?

311. Yeah.

312. I don't see anyone.

313. The one on the end, on the right.

314. That's Salad.

315. No, only bits of it.

316. What do you mean?

317. Listen.

318. Teddy Salad's the most brilliant agent

319. the CIA ever had, all right?

320. Right.

321. That's how he made his name.

322. Disguise.

323. That's incredible. Yeah.

324. He had to slim down to one and a half pounds

325. to get into that costume.

326. And 18 inches off each arm and over 3 feet off each leg.

327. The most brilliant surgeon in Europe stuck that tail on.

328. What about the head?

329. All of the head was removed

330. apart from the eyes and the brain

331. in order to fit into the costume.

332. That's incredible.

333. Do you want to talk to him?

334. Yeah, sure.

335. Okay, uh,

336. let's move over to those trees, there.

337. You never know who might be watching.

338. Mr. Salad?

339. There's a Mr. Carpenter to see you.

340. What's he saying?

341. Do you have a bone?

342. Here. It's all part of the disguise.

343. Okay, Teddy, here's the bone.

344. All right, you've got his trust, now.

345. You can talk to him.

346. Sir. Sir. Mr. Salad?

347. Sir, I've come direct

348. from the commander of land, sea and air forces.

349. There's a pretty dangerous situation, sir.

350. Mr. Neutron is missing.

351. The general says you're the only one

352. who'll know where to find him.

353. What's he saying?

354. Uh, he wants to go walkies.

355. Walkies?

356. Yeah, he— He's right into it today.

357. Do you mind taking him for walkies?

358. While Carpenter took

359. the most brilliant agent the CIA ever had for walkies,

360. events in the world's capitals were moving fast.

361. Secretary of state to see you, prime minister.

362. Uh, very well, show him in.

363. I beg your pardon?

364. Show him in.

365. Ah, that's what I thought you said.

366. Good.

367. Sorry, I didn't quite catch the last bit.

368. Show him in.

369. No, no, the bit after that.

370. I didn't say anything after that.

371. I'm sure you did.

372. No, I didn't.

373. You did, it was just one word.

374. It doesn't matter anyway.

375. Oh, it does.

376. You told me to write everything down.

377. All right, I'll have a listen.

378. What?

379. I'm just gonna listen to what I said.

380. The Secretary of State

381. to see you, Prime Minister.

382. Very well, show him in.

383. I beg your pardon?

384. Show him in.

385. I'm sorry? I can't hear what you said.

386. I'm just listening to what I said.

387. Oh, I'm sorry.

388. Oh, damn, now I've missed it.

389. I am the prime minister.

390. I am the prime minister, I am the prime minister.

391. I am.

392. Oh, um, there's a Mr. Barlow to see you.

393. I don't wanna see anyone.

394. I heard that perfectly.

395. Prime minister.

396. Oh, do take a seat.

397. Oh!

398. Prime minister, we just had the supreme commander

399. of U.S. Forces on the phone.

400. Apparently, they want a full-scale red alert.

401. They what?

402. They want a full-scale red alert.

403. Every troop moving—

404. It's all right, don't worry about Giuseppe.

405. He's English, really. I see.

406. Well, the whole structure of world peace is threatened—

407. Uh, your anniversary, signor?

408. Uh, no, no. no, Giuseppe.

409. Uh, you mean this isn't the lady?

410. No, no.

411. Oh, signora, my mistake. Quite fine. But what we—

412. I play for you "My Mistake."

413. My mistake

414. I have made my mistake

415. What a dreadful mistake

416. Is this mistake that I make

417. My mistake

418. Giuseppe, do you mind playing over there?

419. Oh, very well, signor.

420. But I play only for you and your beautiful companion.

421. My mistake

422. Well, look, this Mr. Neutron is located

423. somewhere in the London area.

424. We must find him and exterminate him.

425. The Americans say if we don't, they will.

426. What?

427. The Americans say

428. if we don't, they will!

429. That he doesn't know what?

430. They'll bomb the entire London area!

431. We'd better get out of here!

432. They won't bomb here.

433. Are you sure? Sure.

434. Right. When are they gonna start?

435. Apparently they haven't got Neutron yet. But when they do,

436. they're going to send in—

437. What?

438. They're going to send in waves of bombers!

439. What? What?

440. Four hundred fifty-two bombers!

441. Ah, did he tell you anything?

442. No, no, no.

443. We chased sticks, we chased a few reindeer.

444. Oh, you been chasing reindeer, have you?

445. You're a naughty boy, eh?

446. Look, we haven't got much time.

447. He hasn't given me any information yet.

448. Okay. Look, tell you what, then. Let's eat.

449. You give him one of your meatballs,

450. he'll tell you anything, okay?

451. Okay.

452. No, no, no, you guys!

453. It's, "Okay!"

454. More round on the oh.

455. Oh, I see.

456. Okay!

457. Is that better?

458. That's better, that's good.

459. Okay. No!

460. Okay!

461. Oh, sorry, love, I wasn't doing the voice there.

462. Oh, I see.

463. Okay, carry on.

464. Okay.

465. Okay!

466. Okay.

467. Now, then, I give him the meatball there.

468. Wait a minute. He's trying to tell us something.

469. Carpenter.

470. Yeah. Carpenter.

471. Yes, Mr. Salad? Can you hear me?

472. Yup, yup. It's—

473. It's just it's so goddamn painful in here.

474. What's the problem?

475. It— It's Mr. Neutron, sir. He's gone missing.

476. The supreme commander wants you to take charge.

477. l— Oh, God. I...

478. Yes, Mr. Salad?

479. I... I gotta gO walkies again.

480. Still no sign

481. of Captain Carpenter, sir. Or Mr. Neutron.

482. Okay, time's up.

483. NO, no, nO, no!

484. Okay, time's up.

485. Get out!

486. There's only one thing left to do, but I enjoy doing it.

487. We'll bomb Neutron out.

488. Get me Moscow, Peking, and Shanklin, Isle of Wight.

489. And so the great powers

490. and the people of Shanklin, Isle of Wight,

491. drew their net in ever-tightening circles

492. around the most dangerous threat to peace

493. the world has ever faced.

494. They bombed Cairo, Bangkok, Cape Town,

495. Buenos Aires, Harrow, Hammersmith,

496. Stepney, Wandsworth and Enfield.

497. But always, it was the wrong place.

498. Sorry, Enfield.

499. We apologize for any inconvenience

500. caused by our bombing.

501. Sorry.

502. But what Of Mr. Neutron

503. the most fearfully dangerous man in the world?

504. The man who could destroy entire galaxies

505. with his wrist.

506. The man who could tear fruit machines apart

507. with his eyeballs.

508. He had not been idle.

509. In fact, he had fallen in love

510. with the lady whO does for Mrs. Entrail.

511. Oh, hellO, Mr. N.

512. Terrible about Enfield, isn't it? It's all gone.

513. SO is Staines. Lovely shops they used to have in Staines

514. and Stanmore, you know, where the AA offices were.

515. I don't know where we'll pay our AA subscriptions to now.

516. Do you know where we'll pay our AA subscriptions to now?

517. I didn't know you were a member

518. of the AA, Mrs. S-C-U-M.

519. Oh, yes. Ever since the corsair

520. broke down in Leytonstone.

521. They towed it all the way to Deauville, FOC.

522. Yes, you know, FOC, "free of charge."

523. Well, my husband Ken, K-E-N, he said—

524. Oh, forget about your husband, Mrs. S-C-U-M.

525. Or may I call you Mrs. S?

526. Well, you can call me Linda, if you like.

527. NO, I'd rather call you Mrs. S.

528. Oh.

529. And you can call me Mr. N.

530. Well, that's what I was calling you.

531. Mrs. S, there is something I have tO tell you.

532. Yes, Mr. N?

533. I have just won a Kellogg's Corn Flake competition.

534. Oh, Mr. N, that's wonderful.

535. I got the ball in exactly the right place.

536. The prize is 5000 pounds in cash

537. or as much ice cream as you can eat.

538. Five thousand pounds?

543. Mrs. S, I can eat enormous quantities of ice cream

544. without being sick.

548. we could use the 5000 pounds to buy a spoon...

549. Oh, we could buy a lot more than that.

550. and then fill up with ice cream.

551. Oh, forget about the ice cream.

552. We need the money.

554. I have not told you, Mrs. S-C-U-M.
