Hawkins: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Hawkins: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Griselda: Just remember that.


GREAT MOVIE!

Hawkins: What manner of man is Giacomo? Ha ha! I shall tell you what manner of man is he. He lives for a sigh, he dies for a kiss, he lusts for the laugh, ha! He never walks when he can leap! He never flees when he can fight! He swoons at the beauty of a rose. And I offer myself to you, all of me. My heart. My lips. My legs. My calves. Do what you will - my love endures. Beat me. Kick me. (kiss, kiss) I am yours.

Oh wait, I stole this from the Kissmycookie thread...

King: Would you grant the king a little kiss?
Jean: Oh, certainly, sire, and don't worry. They say it isn't catching.
King: Oh, you are a little... catching?
Jean: Just because it runs in the family doesn't mean that everyone has it. Kiss me, sire!
King: Has it? Has what?
Jean: Don't I please you, sire?
King: Oh, yes, yes, but, eh, these brothers and cousins and uncles...
Jean: And aunts. But let us not talk about their swollen, twisted, pain ridden bodies. Hold me, take me in your arms, tell me I am yours!
King: But this, this uh writhing on the floor...

oh, I just remember the scenes... I cut and paste from the website for the actual lines. Well, some of them. I have to admit that many I actually do know word for word. (I need to get a life!)

King Roderick: The Duke. What did the Duke do?

Hubert Hawkins: Oh, the Doge!
King Roderick: Eh. Well what did the Doge do?
Hubert Hawkins: The Doge do?
King Roderick: Yes, the Doge do.
Hubert Hawkins: Well, uh, the Doge did what the Doge does. Eh, uh, when the Doge does his duty to the Duke, that is.

Any movie with Glynis Johns is automatically great.

I Love this movie. Has any one seen Walter Mitty?? Danny Kaye is a genious. I've been watching Danny Kaye since I was old enough to comprehend him. I would like to thank my dad for that. Way to raise a kid right!! DANNY KAYE! Ok that's enough out of me.

Danny Kaye was terrific!!!

Hawkins: After months of pleading for just this kind of action, what makes you think that anybody - anybody could make me reveal the identity of my confederate?
Jean: Because they'd put you on the rack, crack your every bone, scald you with hot oil, and remove the nails off your fingers with flaming hot pincers.
Hawkins: I'd... like to withdraw the question.

I love any movie that has Danny Kaye in it. My favorite though , is Hans Christian Anderson. Did anyone get to see him in the musical TWO BY TWO years ago?

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~
My favorite movie of all time.
The Court Jester should be made into a big broadway musical with the score written by Gerard.
Gerard, Marx and Tesori.
Great big stuff.
And if POOP makes one remark I will give him the poision.
One small problem. No one can compare to Danny Kaye.
I wonder if Denis O'Hare could be the Court Jester.
