OTish: VCR/TIVO ALLERT - COURT JESTER ON TCM 10:15 TONIGHT

Isn't it "The vessel with the pestle holds the brew that is true"?

Love that film as well...

kec, you're right. I almost fell out of my chair during the "knighting" ceremony, as well. Here's the whole "vessel" exchange taken fr Reelclassics.com:

Hawkins: 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.
