    HORSES:  [clop clop clop]  [whinny whinny]
    GALAHAD:  They're nervous, sire.
    ARTHUR:  Then we'd best leave them here and carry on on foot.
    Dis-mount!
    TIM:  Behold the cave of Califbanaweaselornia!
    ARTHUR:  Right!  Keep me covered.
    GALAHAD:  What with?
    ARTHUR:  W-- just keep me covered.
    TIM:  Too late! [dramatic chord]
    ARTHUR:  What?
    TIM:  There he is!
    ARTHUR:  Where?
    TIM:  There!
    ARTHUR:  What, behind the ferret?
    TIM:  It is the ferret!
    ARTHUR:  You silly sod!
    TIM:  What?
    ARTHUR:  You got us all worked up!
    TIM:  Well, that's no ordinary ferret.
    ARTHUR:  Ohh.
    TIM:  That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered mustelid you ever
    set eyes on.
    ROBIN:  You tit!  I soiled my armor I was so scared!
    TIM:  Look, that ferret's got a vicious streak a mile wide; it's a
    killer!
    GALAHAD:  Get stuffed!
    TIM:  He'll do you up a treat mate!
    GALAHAD:  Oh, yeah?
    ROBIN:  You mangy scots git!
    TIM:  I'm warning you!
    ROBIN:  What's he do, nibble your bum?
    TIM:  He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!
    ARTHUR:  Go on, Bors.  Chop his head off!
    BORS:  Right!  Silly little bleeder.  One ferret stew comin' right up!
    TIM:  Look!  [squeak]
    BORS:  Aaaugh!  [dramatic chord]  [clunk]
    ARTHUR:  Jesus Christ!
    TIM:  I warned you!
    ROBIN:  I done it again!
    TIM:  I warned you, but did you listen to me?  Oh, no, you knew it all,
    didn't you?  Oh, it's just a harmless little weasel, isn't it?  Well,
    it's always the same.  I always tell them--
    ARTHUR:  Oh, shut up!
 
    I'll never be able to watch this movie again quite the same way...
