Bloody Catholics - Monty Python, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin

CHILDREN:

Every sperm is sacred

Every sperm is great

If a sperm is wasted,…

MR.

HARRY BLACKITT: Look at them, bloody Catholics, filling the bloody world up

with bloody people they can’t afford to bloody feed

MRS.

BLACKITT: What are we dear?

MR.

BLACKITT: Protestant, and fiercely proud of it

MRS.

BLACKITT: Hmm.

Well, why do they have so many children?

MR.

BLACKITT: Because… every time they have sexual intercourse,

they have to have a baby

MRS.

BLACKITT: But it’s the same with us, Harry

MR.

BLACKITT: What do you mean?

MRS.

BLACKITT: Well, I mean, we’ve got two children, and we’ve had sexual

intercourse twice

MR.

BLACKITT: That’s not the point.

We could have it any time we wanted

MRS.

BLACKITT: Really?

MR.

BLACKITT: Oh, yes, and, what’s more, because we don’t believe in all that

Papist claptrap, we can take precautions

MRS.

BLACKITT: What, you mean… lock the door?

MR.

BLACKITT: 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

MRS.

BLACKITT: What d’you mean?

MR.

BLACKITT: I could, if I wanted, have sexual intercourse with you,…

MRS.

BLACKITT: Oh, yes, Harry

MR.

BLACKITT: …and, by wearing a rubber sheath over my old feller,

I could insure… that, when I came off, you would not be impregnated

MRS.

BLACKITT: Ooh!

MR.

BLACKITT: 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 fifteen-

seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing,

but four hundred 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

MRS.

BLACKITT: You what?

MR.

BLACKITT: French Ticklers.

Black Mambos.

Crocodile Ribs.

Sheaths that are

designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual

congress

MRS.

BLACKITT: Have you got one?

MR.

BLACKITT: Have I got one?

Uh, well, no, but I can go down the road any time

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.'

MRS.

BLACKITT: Well, why don’t you?

MR.

BLACKITT: But they-- Well, they cannot, 'cause their church never made the

great leap out of the Middle Ages and the domination of alien episcopal

supremacy

NARRATOR #1: But, despite the attempts of Protestants to promote the idea of

sex for pleasure, children continued to multiply everywhere
