a quick bit of script from my favourite film, john boorman's 'excalibur' ...
Arthur: A king must marry, after all.
Merlin: So it seems.
Arthur: I love her. If only she'd be my queen....
Merlin, can you make her love me?
Merlin: Now, look.
I once stood exposed to the Dragon's breath...
...so a man could lie one night with a woman.
It took me nine moons to recover...
...and all for this lunacy called love...
...this mad distemper, that strikes down both beggar and king.
Never again!
Never!
Arthur: Who will I marry then?
You can tell me that at least.
What do you see?
Merlin: Oh, Guenevere.
And a beloved friend who will betray you.
You're not listening. Your heart is not.
Love is deaf as well as blind.
... and that's the thing: love has no rhyme or reason.
so, your brother decided it might be a good idea to humiliate you over this - that's pretty shameful stuff on his behalf.
something knocked me out' the trees
now i'm on my knees
... don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey
there is one thing you must be sure of
i can't take any more
... don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey
don't like it but i guess i'm learning
... shock the monkey to life
