Monty Python - The Spanish Inquisition

  • 0:14 - 0:15
    Come in.
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    Trouble at mill.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    Oh no. What sort of trouble?
  • 0:23 - 0:24
    Pardon?
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    I don't understand what you're saying.
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    One of the cross beams has gone out
    askew on the treddle.
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    - Well what on earth does that mean?
    - I don't know.
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    Mr Wentworth just told me to come in
    here and say that there was trouble
    at the mill, that's all.
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    I didn't expect
    a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    Our chief weapon is surprise...
    Surprise and fear, fear and surprise...
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    our two weapons are fear and surprise.
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    And ruthless efficiency...
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    Our three weapons are fear, surprise,
    and ruthless efficiency...
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    and an almost fanatical
    devotion to the Pope.
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    Our four... no...
  • 1:03 - 1:04
    amongst our weapons...
    amongst our weaponry...
  • 1:06 - 1:10
    are such elements as fear, surprise...
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    I'll come in again.
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    I didn't expect
    a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    Amongst our weaponry
    are such diverse elements as
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency,
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    and an almost fanatical devotion
    to the Pope, and nice red uniforms
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    - Oh damn! I can't say it,
    you'll have to say it. - What?
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    You'll have to say the bit about
    'Our chief weapons are... '
  • 1:41 - 1:42
    I couldn't do that...
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    I didn't expect
    a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
  • 1:55 - 1:56
    Nobody...
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    - Expects.
    - Expects.
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    - Nobody expects the...
    - Inquisition.
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    I know... I know!
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
    In fact, those who do expect...
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    - Our chief weapons are...
    - Our chief weapons are...
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    - Surprise...
    - Surprise and...
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    Stop. Stop there! Stop there.
    Whew!
  • 2:16 - 2:20
    Our chief weapon is surprise,
    blah, blah, blah, blah.
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    Cardinal, read the charges.
  • 2:24 - 2:29
    You are hereby charged that you did on diverse
    dates commit heresy against the Holy Church.
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    - My old man said...
    - That's enough.
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    Now, how do you plead?
  • 2:40 - 2:41
    We're innocent.
  • 2:46 - 2:47
    We'll soon change your mind
    about that!
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Fear, surprise, and a most ruthless...
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    Now, Cardinal, the rack!
  • 3:11 - 3:12
    You...
    Right!
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    Tie her down.
  • 3:43 - 3:44
    Right!
    How do you plead?
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    - Innocent.
    - Ha! Right!
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    Cardinal, give the rack
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    give the rack a turn.
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    I...
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    I know. I know you can't.
    I didn't want to say anything.
  • 3:59 - 4:01
    I just wanted to try
    and ignore your crass mistake.
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    - It makes it all seem so stupid.
    - Shall I...?
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    Oh, go on, just pretend
    for God's sake.
  • 4:22 - 4:27
    And this is the Spanish Inquisition
    hiding behind the coal shed.
  • 4:27 - 4:30
    Oh! I didn't expect
    a Spanish Inquisition.
  • 4:33 - 4:36
    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
  • 5:27 - 5:29
    Now, old woman!
  • 5:29 - 5:31
    You are accused of heresy on three counts.
  • 5:31 - 5:35
    Heresy by thought, heresy by word,
    heresy by deed, and heresy by action.
  • 5:35 - 5:36
    Four counts.
  • 5:38 - 5:39
    Do you confess?
  • 5:39 - 5:41
    I don't understand what I'm accused of.
  • 5:43 - 5:46
    Ha! Then we shall make you understand.
  • 5:46 - 5:47
    Biggles!
  • 5:51 - 5:53
    Fetch... the cushions!
  • 5:56 - 5:58
    Here they are, lord.
  • 5:58 - 6:00
    Now, old lady, you have one last chance.
  • 6:00 - 6:03
    Confess the heinous sin of heresy,
    reject the works of the ungodly
  • 6:03 - 6:05
    two last chances.
  • 6:05 - 6:06
    And you shall be free...
  • 6:06 - 6:08
    Three last chances.
  • 6:08 - 6:11
    You have three last chances,
    the nature of which I have divulged
    in my previous utterance.
  • 6:11 - 6:14
    I don't know what you're talking about.
  • 6:14 - 6:17
    Right! If that's the way you want it.
  • 6:17 - 6:22
    Cardinal! Poke her
    with the soft cushions!
  • 6:23 - 6:26
    Confess! Confess! Confess!
  • 6:27 - 6:30
    It doesn't seem to be hurting her,
    my lord.
  • 6:30 - 6:33
    - Have you got all the stuffing
    up one end? - Yes, lord.
  • 6:35 - 6:37
    Hm! She is made of harder stuff!
  • 6:38 - 6:39
    Cardinal Fang!
  • 6:40 - 6:44
    Fetch... the comfy chair!
  • 6:48 - 6:50
    The comfy chair?
  • 7:00 - 7:04
    So you think you are strong because
    you can survive the soft cushions.
  • 7:05 - 7:06
    Well, we shall see.
  • 7:07 - 7:11
    Biggles! Put her in the Comfy Chair!
  • 7:14 - 7:18
    Now. You will stay
    in the Comfy Chair until lunch time,
  • 7:18 - 7:20
    with only a cup of coffee at eleven...
  • 7:20 - 7:22
    - Is that really all it is?
    - Why, yes lord.
  • 7:22 - 7:25
    I see. I suppose we make it worse
    by shouting a lot, do we?
  • 7:29 - 7:31
    Confess, woman.
  • 7:31 - 7:34
    Confess!
  • 7:34 - 7:37
    I confess!
  • 7:37 - 7:38
    Not you!
  • 7:38 - 7:40
    I confess.
  • 7:40 - 7:42
    Who was that?
  • 7:45 - 7:47
    Blimey! I didn't expect
    the Spanish Inquisition.
  • 8:08 - 8:11
    Two, er, three to the Old Bailey
    please.
  • 8:13 - 8:17
    - Look they've started the credits.
    - Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.
  • 8:28 - 8:31
    There's the lighting credit,
    only five left.
  • 8:36 - 8:38
    Hell, it's the producer - quick!
  • 9:01 - 9:03
    Nobody expects the Spa...
    Oh bugger!
