Know what I mean?

I beg your pardon?

Your wife, does she...

Does she go?

Know what I mean?

Nudge nudge. Say no more.

She sometimes goes, yes.

I'll bet she does.

Know what I mean? Nudge nudge.

I don't quite follow you.

Oh, follow me. That's good.

A nod's as good as a wink

to a blind bat, eh?

Are you selling something?

Selling? Selling? Very good.

Very good.

Oh, wicked! Wicked! You're wicked.

Know what I mean? Nudge nudge.

Know what I mean? Nudge nudge.

Nudge nudge.

Say no more.

Basically we were laughing

at the authoritarian figures

that we grew up under,

and observing.

I think if you're at a

boarding school for 12 years,

your vision of authority

is very much of this

looming nonsense,

and you're not allowed

to laugh at it

except privately

amongst your gang.

But you know it's nonsense,

this assumed authority

that's being given

to you by teachers,

by military figures--

We always had to do the ccf--

By police, by judges.

And it's all pretending

we know what's going

on on this planet

and this is the way it is,

and it's all bullshit.

Python was quite good for getting

rid of those inhibitions.

That's why it's still

appealing to the young.

Come in.

Is this the right room

for an argument?

I've told you once.

No, you haven't.

Yes, I have. Just now.

No, you didn't.

I did.

You did not.

Is this a five-minute

argument or half hour?

Oh, we'd always disagree.

I mean, you know, Python was...

Reading, writing,

and arguing, really.

The three rs.

A lot of arguing went on.

Typewriters were thrown.

People would stomp out of rooms.

There'd be shrill voices,

all sorts of aggravation,

which was important.

It was important

I only threw a chair once.

I think John, you know...

I think it bothered John more

'cause he's a man who has

to maintain his control more,

And being older--

we were like four years younger

than John, some of us,

And still are.

Let's face it.

And I don't think he liked

arguing with Terry,

and he'd tend to bait

Terry just a little bit,

see how far he could

get him to explode,

'cause once he made a man blow up,

he'd won the argument, you see.

Not an easy thing to do

with Terry, anyway.

I was still Welsh in my

feelings, my emotions,

But I was talking with

a "South of England" accent.

If you get excited in Welsh,

you go up at the end

of the sentence.

But if you do it

with an English accent,

you always go down at

the end of the sentence.

The more excited you get,

the more you go down.

It's a cultural clash.

I came all the way from Oslo

to do this program.

I'm a professor of archaeology.

I'm an expert in

ancient civilizations.

All right! I'm only 5'10".
