Life of Python Page #7

like to be judged by.

I'm warning you!

If you say Jehovah once more--

Right! Who threw that?

Come on, who threw that?

Him! Him! Him!

Was it you?

Yes. Well, you did say Jehovah.

Stop!

Stop! Will you... Stop that?

Stop it!

Now, look, no-one is to stone anyone

until I blow this whistle.

Do you understand?

Even-- and I want to make

this absolutely clear--

even if they do say Jehovah.

Good shot!

If you've done a film about

The Meaning Of Life, the bible,

It's really quite hard

to know where to go next.

I think probably people are happy now

to just sort of be friends

without the pressure of feeling

you have to get something done,

"We've got to re-form,"

or anything like that.

Really we never had sort of

greedy managers or people saying,

"Come on, lads, you've

got to get out there

And do another show. Money,

money, money," all that.

The greed has come

from within the group.

I think it would be very difficult

to all get back together again.

For a start, we're all older

and fatter, more lined.

It would look a bit pathetic.

And there's still a lot of

competitiveness in the group.

It's sibling rivalry

because we are siblings.

We're very much contemporaries,

very much product

of a particular time,

and we all want the

others to do well,

but we don't want them to

produce total masterpieces,

'cause that would be

rather annoying,

But at the same time,

we don't wish the others bad.

We want them reasonable-size

success, you know,

but nothing too annoying.

I like what I'm doing now,

and-- and the idea

of doing more Python

gives me the feeling it's

going to be more of that

in a strange way.

It's not what I want to do.

I've done all that.

It's done, past.

Several of us felt the door

is finally closed now.

This is a perfect way to end it.

Walk away from it.

It probably means we'll do

a film next week together.

The great thing about Python

is we could never believe our luck.

We were like a group

who met at school,

still allowed to do

these old schoolboy jokes,

misbehave, do silly voices,

before we got self-conscious,

before people started making

critical interpretations

of Python's work--

How we thrust aside

the barriers of comedy.

We're just a sniggering little group

who had a terribly good time

giggling at humanity.

Suddenly we've broken

comedic barriers.

We went a bit quiet then.

Thank you very much, young man.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the World Of History is proud

to present the premiere

the Batley Townswomen's Guild reen-

actment of the Battle of Pearl Harbor.
