Answer 5

Mine is film. "The Meaning of Life", to be exact. Very good film.

This is from the scene when the Grim Reaper comes.

Grim Reaper (GR): I AM THE GRIM-ah REAP-ah.
Graham Chapman (GC): Yes, I see.
GR: I AM DEATH.
GC: Well, you see, we've got some people from America for dinner tonight--
Eric Idle (EI-playing GC's wife): Who is it, darling?
GC: It's a Mister Death or something; he's come about the reaping? (To GR) I don't think we need any at the moment.
EI: Well, don't leave him standing there, ask him in!
GC: I don't think it's quite the moment...
EI: Do come in. Come in. Come on and have a drink.
(They go inside).
EI: (To other guests) It's one of the little men from the village.
This is Howard Katzenburg (Terry Gilliam--TG)from Philadelphia and his wife Debbie (Michael Palin--MP).
MP: Hello there!
EI: And these are the Portland Smythes--Jeremy (not sure who plays him) and Fiona (Terry Jones).
TJ: Good evening!? (a little drunk)
EI: This is Mister Death. Well, do get Mister Death a drink, darling! Mister Death is a reaper!
GR: THE GRIM-ah REAP-ah.
EI: Hardly surprising in this weather!
TG: So, do you still reap around here, Mister Death?
GR: I AM THE GRIM-ah REAP-ah.
GC: That's about all he says...There’s your drink, Mister Death.
EI: Do sit down.
MP: We were just talking about some of the awful problems facing the—
(Death smashes glass)
EI: Would you prefer white? I’m afraid we don’t have any beer!
Jeremy: The Stilton’s awfully good!
GR: I AM NOT…OF THIS WORLD. I AM DEATH.
MP: Well, isn’t that extraordinary! We were just talking about death only five minutes ago!
EI: Yes, we were. You know, whether death is REALLY the end—
MP: As my husband Howard feels, or whether there is, and one hates to use words like soul’ or ‘spirit’—
GC: But what other words can one use?
GR: YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND-ah!
MP: Ah, no. Obviously not.
TG: Let me just tell you something, Mister Death.
GR: YOU DO—
TG: Just one moment. I’d like to express on behalf of everybody here what a pretty unique experience this is!
EI: Yes, we’re so delighted that you dropped in!
TG: Can I just finish, please?
MP: Mister Death, IS THERE AN AFTERLIFE?
TG: Dear, if you could just wait, please?
EI: Are you sure you wouldn’t like some sherry?
GR: BE QUIET!
TG: Can I just say this at this time?
GR: SILENCE! I HAVE COME FOR YOU!
EI: You mean, to—
GR: TAKE YOU AWAY. THAT IS MY PURPOSE. I AM DEATH.
GC: Well, that’s cast rather a gloom over the evening, hasn’t it?
TG: Don’t see it that way. Let me tell you what I think we’re dealing here. A potentially positive, learning experience—
GR: SHUT UP! SHUT UP, YOU AMERICAN! YOU ALWAYS TALK, YOU AMERICANS! YOU TALK AND YOU TALK, AND YOU SAY, “LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING” AND “I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS”. WELL, YOU”RE DEAD NOW, SO SHUT UP!
TG: Dead?
GR: DEAD.
EI: All of us?
GR: ALL OF YOU.
GC: Well, look here. You barge in here quite uninvited, break glasses, and announce quite casually that we’re all dead. Well, I would like to remind you that you are a guest in this house—
(Death pokes GC in eye)
GR: QUIET! ENGLISHMEN, YOU’RE ALL SO F***ING POMPOUS. NONE OF YOU HAVE GOT ANY BA**S!
MP: Can I ask you a question?
GR: WHAT?
MP: How could we have all died at the same time?
(GR points to food)
GR: THE SALMONNN…MOUSSE!
GC: Darling, you didn’t use canned salmon, did you?
EI: I’m most dreadfully embarrassed!
(GC takes out gun and shoots GR)
GC: Just testing, sorry?
GR: FOLLOW ME, NOW. COME.
(Bodies slump, spirits rise)
EI: The fishmonger promised me he’d have some fresh salmon, he’s normally so reliable.
MP: Hey! I didn’t even eat the mousse!
EI: I’m so embarrassed! Serving salmon at a dinner party is social death!
GC: Shall we take our cars?
(Enter Heaven)
GR: BEHOLD…PARADISE.
Receptionist: Hello, welcome to Heaven. Could you just sign here, please. There’s a table for you through there in the restaurant. For the ladies.
(Gives women package)
TJ: Hmm. Afterlife mints!
(Go into restaurant)
(Singer (Graham Chapman as different character) comes out)

“It’s Christmas in Heaven”

It’s Christmas in Heaven,
All the children sing!
It’s Christmas in Heaven,
Hark, Hark, those church bells ring!

It’s Christmas in Heaven,
The snow falls from the sky.
But it’s nice and warm
And everyone looks smart and wears a tie!

It’s Christmas in Heaven,
There’s great films on TV:
The Sound of Music twice an hour,
And JAWS: I, II, and III!

(Cuts to nativity scene)

There’s gifts for all the family,
There’s toiletries and trains!
There’s SONY Walkman headphone sets
And the latest video games

(Back to stage scene)

It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas in Heaven,
Hip hip, hip hip hip, hooray!
Every single day
Is Christmas Day!

It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas in Heaven,
Hip hip, hip hip hip, hooray!
Every single day—(cuts out).
