a totally irrational feeling of
depression, PN D, as we doctors call it.
So, it's lots of
happy pills for you,
and you can find out all about
the birth when you get home.
It's available on BetaMax,
VHS and Super 8.
The miracle of birth,
part two. The third world.
Oh, bloody hell.
Oh, get it, would you,
Deidre? All right, Mum.
Now whose teatime is it?
Mine!
Come on.
Out you go.
Now, Vincent, Tessa,
Valerie, Janine,
Martha, Andrew, Thomas,
Walter, Pat, Linda,
Michael, Evadne, Alice, Dominique
and Sasha, it's your bedtime.
Now don't argue!
Laura, Alfred, N igel,
Annie, Simon, Amanda...
Wait. I've got something
to tell the whole family.
Oh, quick. Go and get
the others in, Gordon.
The mill's closed.
There's no more work.
We're destitute.
Come in, my little loves. I've
got no option but to sell you all
for scientific experiments.
No, no, that's the way it is,
my loves.
Blame the Catholic Church
for not letting me wear one
of those little rubber things.
Oh, they've done some
wonderful things in their time.
They've preserved the might and majesty,
even mystery of the Church of Rome,
and the sanctity of the sacrament,
the indivisible oneness of the Trinity,
but if they'd let me wear one
of those little rubber things
on the end of my cock,
we wouldn't be in the mess
we are now.
Couldn't Mummy have worn
some sort of pessary?
Not if we're going
to remain members
of the fastest-growing
religion in the world, my boy.
He's right.
You see, we believe...
Well, let me put it like this.
There are Jews in the world
There are Buddhists
There are Hindus
and Mormons and then
There are those
that follow Mohammed
But I've never been
one of them
I'm a Roman Catholic
And have been since
before I was born
And the one thing
they say about Catholics
Is they"ll take you
as soon as you"re warm
You don't have
to be a six-footer
You don't have to
have a great brain
You don't have to
have any clothes on
You're a Catholic
the moment Dad came
Because
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate
Let the heathens spill theirs
On the dusty ground
God shall make them pay
For each sperm
that can't be found
Every sperm is wanted
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon
Spill theirs just anywhere
But God loves those who treat
Their semen with more care
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood
Every sperm is useful
Every sperm is fine
God needs everybody's
Mine
And mine
And mine
Let the pagans spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill and plain
God shall strike them down
For each sperm
that"s spilt in vain
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets
Quite irate
So you see my problem,
little ones.
I can't keep you all here
any longer.
Speak up!
I can't keep you all here
any longer!
God has blessed us so much I
can't afford to feed you anymore.
Couldn't you have
your balls cut off?
It's not as simple as
that, N igel. God knows all.
He'd see through
such a cheap trick.
What we do to ourselves,
we do to H im.
You could have had them
pulled off in an accident.
No. Children, I know
you're trying to help,
but believe me,
me mind's made up.
I've given this long
and careful thought,
and it has to be medical
experiments for the lot of you.
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
Look at them. Bloody Catholics.
Filling the bloody world up
with bloody people they
can't afford to bloody feed.
What are we, dear? Protestant,
and fiercely proud of it.
Well, why do they have
so many children?
Because every time they have sexual
intercourse, they have to have a baby.
But it's the same with us,
Harry. What do you mean?
Well, I mean
we've got two children,
and we've had
sexual intercourse twice.
That's not the point. We could
have it any time we wanted.
Really?
Oh, yes. And what's more,
because we don't believe
in all that Papist claptrap,
we can take precautions.
What, you mean
lock the door?
No, no. I mean because we are members
of the Protestant Reformed Church,
which successfully challenged
the autocratic power
of the Papacy
in the mid-sixteenth century,
we can wear little rubber
devices to prevent issue.
What do you mean?
I could, if I wanted, have
sexual intercourse with you.
Oh, yes, Harry.
And by wearing a rubber sheath
over my old fellow,
I could ensure that when I came
off, you would not be impregnated.
Ooh! That's what being
a Protestant's all about.
That's why
it's the church for me.
That's why
it's the church for anyone
who respects the individual
and the individual's right
to decide for him
or herself.
When Martin Luther nailed his
protest up to the church door in 1517,
he may not have realized the full
significance of what he was doing
but 400 years later,
thanks to him, my dear,
I can wear whatever I want
on my John Thomas.
And Protestantism doesn't stop
at the simple condom. Oh, no!
I can wear French Ticklers
if I want. You what?
French Ticklers, Black
Mambos, Crocodile Ribs...
Sheaths that are designed
not only to protect,
but also to enhance the
stimulation of sexual congress.
Have you got one?
Have I got one? Well, no,
but I can go down the road anytime
I want and walk into Harry's
and hold my head up high and
say, in a loud, steady voice,
"Harry, I want you
to sell me a condom.
"In fact, today I think I'll have a
French Tickler, for I am a Protestant. "
Well, why don't you?
But they, they cannot,
because their church never made the
great leap out of the Middle Ages
and the domination
of alien Episcopal supremacy.
But despite the attempts
of Protestants
to promote the idea
of sex for pleasure,
children continue
to multiply everywhere.
The Meaning of Life, part two.
Growth and learning.
And spotteth twice they the
camels before the third hour.
And so the Midianites
went forth to Ram Gilead,
in Kadesh Bilgemath,
by Shor Ethra Regalion,
to the house of
Gash-Bil-Bethuel-Bazda,
he who brought the butter dish
to Balshazar,
and the tent peg
to the house of Rashomon,
and there,
slew they the goats,
yea, and placed they
the bits in little pots.
Here endeth the lesson.
Let us praise God.
O Lord.
O Lord.
Ooh! You are so big.
Ooh! You are so big.
So absolutely huge.
So absolutely huge.
Gosh, we're all really impressed
down here, I can tell You.
Gosh, we're all really impressed
down here, I can tell you.
Forgive us, O Lord, for this,
our dreadful toadying.
And barefaced flattery.
But you're so strong,
and, well, just so super.
