First Man: (T.J.)   Er, excuse me, I want to get married.

Registrar: (E.I.) I'm afraid I'm already married, sir.

First Man: Er, no, no. I just want to get married.

Registrar: I could get a divorce, I suppose, but it'll be a bit of a wrench.

First Man: Er, no, no. That wouldn't be necessary because...

Registrar: You see, would you come to my place or should I have to come to yours, because I've just got a big mortgage.

First Man: No, no, I want to get married here.

Registrar: Oh dear. I had my heart set on a church wedding.

First Man: Look, I just want you to marry me... to...

Registrar: I want to marry you too sir, but it's not as simple as that. You sure you want to get married?

First Man: Yes. I want to get married very quickly.

Registrar: Suits me, sir. Suits me.

First Man: I don't want to marry you!

Registrar: There is such a thing as breach of promise, sir.

First Man: Look, I just want you to act as registrar and marry me.

Registrar: I will marry you sir, but please make up your mind. Please don't trifle with my affections.

First Man: I'm sorry, but...

Registrar: That's all right, sir. I forgive you. Lovers' tiff. But you're not the first person to ask me today. I've turned down several people already.

First Man: Look, I'm already engaged.

Registrar: ( agreeing and thinking ) Yes, and I'm already married. Still we'll get round it.

Second Man: (M.P.) ( entering ) Good morning. I want to get married.

Registrar: I'm afraid I'm already marrying this gentleman, sir.

Second Man: Well, can I get married after him?

Registrar: Well, divorce isn't as quick as that, sir. Still, if you're keen.

Third Man: (G.C.) ( entering ) I want to get married, please.

Registrar: Heavens, it's my lucky day, isn't it. All right, but you'll have to wait until I've married these two, sir.

Third Man: What, those two getting married? Nigel, what are you doing marrying him?

Registrar: He's marrying me first, sir.

Third Man: He's engaged to me.

Fourth Man: (J.C.) ( big and butch ) Come on, Henry.

Registrar: Blimey, the wife.

Second Man: Will you marry me?

Fourth Man: I'm already married.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus S 2 E 6 » Recap

Title: It's a Living (or: School Prizes)

Original Airdate: 3/11/1970

Guest starring: Rita Davies, Ian Davidson, Stanley Mason

First, the game show It's a Living .

• Accidental Misnaming : Raymond Luxury-Yacht, pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove".
• Calvinball : The game show It's a Living : "The rules are very simple: each week we get a large fee; at the end of that week we get another large fee; if there's been no interruption at the end of the year we get a repeat fee which can be added on for tax purposes to the previous year or the following year if there's no new series."
• Either/Or Title : "It's a Living (or: School Prizes)".
• Epic Fail : In the "Election Night Special", Kevin Phillips- Bong of the Slightly Silly Party doesn't receive a single vote, or Pathetic Defeat . Presumably, he even neglected to vote for himself.
• Everything Is Racist : When the interviewer refuses to go on, Raymond Luxury-Yacht accuses him of being anti-Semitic, pointing at his big nose as proof that he's Jewish. The interviewer counters with the fact that it's a fake polystyrene nose.
• Fictional Political Party : In the "Election Night Special" sketch, covering the 1970 UK General Election, all elections are mainly contested by two parties, the Sensible Party and the Silly Party; the Slightly Silly Party and Very Silly Party both vouch candidates in a few districts as well.
• Gag Nose : Raymond Luxury-Yacht sports a ridiculously large, obviously false nose, which the interviewer points out and pulls on. Jethro Q. Walrustitty's agent also wears a false nose, albeit a smaller one.
• Inconsistent Spelling : Raymond Luxury-Yacht insists that his name is spelled "Luxury-Yacht", but pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove".
• It's All About Me : When unemployed widower Nigel Watt wants to ask his friend, TV personality Timmy Williams, to help him and his family, Timmy is a bit occupied with greeting acquaintances. And doing an interview. And working with the writer of his autobiography. And getting publicity photos taken. And giving a fan an autograph. And being filmed for a TV documentary. And taking important phone calls. He allows himself a few moments to take note of Nigel's suicide...and how it makes him (Timmy) look in the interview.
• It's Been Done : Mr L F Dibley is a director who keeps making films that other people have already done ( If , 2001: A Space Odyssey , Rear Window ); he claims that they are ripping him off, and that those high budget movies were "rushed out" while his were still at the chemist's (i.e. being developed).
• Marry Them All : The sketch where a rather confused clerk kept misinterpreting his patrons' desires to get married; it ended with five men getting married to each other.
• The Mockbuster : In universe: L.F. Dibley directs terrible, extremely short, 8mm versions of popular films such as if... , Midnight Cowboy , 2001: A Space Odyssey , Rear Window , and Finian's Rainbow . He, of course, insists that the famous versions are ripoffs of his own films.
• Motor Mouth : The presenters for "Election Night Special" all speak with great speed, especially Cleese. Just to bring you up to date with a few results, er, that you may have missed. Engelbert Humperdinck has taken Barrow-in-Furness, that's a gain from Ann Haydon-Jones and her husband Pip. Arthur Negus has held Bristols note  Bristols is cockney rhyming slang for "titties", as in "Bristol Cities" . That's not a result, that's a bit of gossip. Er...Mary Whitehouse has just taken umbrage. Could it be a bit of trouble there. And apparently Wales is not swinging at all. No surprise there. And, er, Monty Python has held the credits. (credits roll)
• Mythology Gag : L F Dibley is a reference to one of the working titles of the programme, Gwen Dibley's Flying Circus .
• No Celebrities Were Harmed : Eric Idle 's character of Timmy Williams was very obviously based on the Python's old boss, David Frost . So much so that, the second Idle appears on stage in character, the audience laughed and applauded.
• Obligatory Earpiece Touch : Parodied in the "Election Night Special" sketch: The commentator holds his hand up to his ear (which does not have a visible earpiece) expecting breaking news, but realizes it's actually a buzzing insect that flew into his ear .
• Overly Long Name : The Very Silly candidate has one. Combined with The Unpronounceable , as various sound effects are included as part of his name.
• Pretentious Pronunciation : "No, it's spelt 'Raymond Luxury-Yacht', but it's pronounced 'Throat-Warbler Mangrove'."
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here! : "You are a very silly man, and I'm not going to interview you."
• Sizable Semitic Nose : Raymond Luxury Yacht appears on a TV show wearing an enourmous, obviously fake nose. When the host refuses to interview him, Raymond accuses him of antisemitism. The host nonchalantly points that the nose is polystyrene and pulls it off Raymond's face.
• Take That! : "The Timmy Williams Interview" involves a narcissistic actor named "Timmy Williams", played by Idle, who is constantly distracted in furthering his career from an old friend's desperate pleas for help, to the point where the friend shoots himself and Timmy takes it in stride. This is followed by credits for "The Timmy Williams Show", which - while written "entirely" by Williams - features a list of "contributors" that takes up several seconds, including Ralph Emerson, Burt Ancaster, and Monty Python. This is based largely on the Python's experiences working with David Frost on The Frost Report .
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics : The blob of cancer—uh, "gangrene"—meets a female blob of cancer, which is marked as female by wearing flowers on her head.
• The Topic of Cancer : In an animated segment a prince sees a black spot on his face, but ignores it. Then he dies of cancer. Bowdlerised in later episodes to gangrene, much to Graham Chapman's disgust. Goes back to "cancer" when this sketch is played in the feature-length And Now for Something Completely Different .
• You No Take Candle : The dead Indian reveals that he's Not Quite Dead when he says " Me heap dizzy ."

Video Example(s):

John Cleese Picks the Most Gut-Busting Monty Python Sketches

Upper-Class Twit of the Year, "The Galaxy Song," and more.

Every product was carefully curated by an Esquire editor. We may earn a commission from these links. Here’s how we test products and why you should trust us.

John Cleese never stops working. 76 years old and on the eve of a much-needed three-week vacation to the West Indies, he can't help but talk about the work he's going to accomplish while away: start planning the follow-up to his recently-released memoir  So Anyway ; explore some ideas for film scripts and stage shows. "I've deliberately not made up my mind about what I'm going to write," Cleese says. "It's like when the Pythons went into the BBC to pitch the show originally. When we were asked what we intended to do we said 'we really had no idea.' I think the very fact that we didn't know enabled us to be more creative."

Best known in America for being one of the original members of the Monty Python, Cleese has worked steadily in TV, film, and on stage for decades. When I caught up with him recently in New York, he was wrapping up a long promotional tour in support of his memoir. We talked about the various projects he's actively working on, including the soon-to-be-announced tour of Australia and New Zealand with fellow Python Eric Idle. But then we got down to business: Cleese's all-time favorite Monty Python sketches and clips, in no particular order:

1. Sir Raymond Luxury-Yacht

An underrated classic from the second series of Monty Python's Flying Circus that begins with a request for plastic surgery and ends in a camping trip. "I love the fact that the whole apparent premise turns out to be wrong," says Cleese.

2. The Two Gaolers from Life of Brian

Life Of Brian stands as not just one of the Pythons' best moments ,  but one of the greatest comedies of all time. Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam ("he's wonderful doing grotesques," says Cleese) are able to turn a line about crucifixions into a gag. "Fantastic parts from Idle and Gilliam and a great punch-line."

3. "The Galaxy Song"

Recently a hit for none other then the computer-generated voice of Stephen Hawking, this song and dance number from 1983's The Meaning of Life is one of the great songs in the Pythons' formidable musical catalogue. "My favorite of all Eric's songs. Sweet and full of wonder," says Cleese.

4. Mr. Creosote Exploding

The almost unbearably grotesque Mr. Creosote from Meaning Of Life is one of Monty Pythons' most well loved characters. Cleese agrees: "Terry Jones's finest, over the top skit. Brilliantly directed by him."

5. Brian Telling His Followers He Is Not the Messiah

The late Graham Chapman was the resident leading man within the Monty Python troupe. But he was also wonderful playing hapless characters, conveying an empathy that underscores the message in the dialogue perfectly. More pointedly, Cleese sees the scene as, "a concise summary of organized religion."

6. Upper-Class Twit of the Year

[youtube ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqObJtGrKaA [/youtube]

The Pythons excelled at poking fun at British aristocracy. For Cleese, his contempt is undimmed, if channeled through his humor, and the portion of this classic sketch when the Twits attempt to take the bras off the mannequins "is a fine demonstration of upper-class sexuality."

7. Two Guards Being Given Their Orders in Holy Grail

In a scene from Holy Grail that rivals classic comedy like Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First", it's perhaps most remarkable that Michael Palin's King of Swamp castle doesn't lose it. "It's wonderful," says Cleese. "The camera never moves and Michael, Eric and Graham are perfect performing Michael Palin's script."

8. Scott of the Sahara's Fight with a Lion

Laurence of Arabia ? Hardly. In the Pythons' hands the most sacred Old Hollywood action sequences are the best targets. "A wonderful visual send-up of cheesy TV animal scenes."

9. The Flying Lesson 

Only in Monty Python's Flying Circus would you be asked to "flap harder" at a flying lesson. "Typical Cleese and Chapman sketch, with people arguing heatedly about non-issues," says Cleese.

10. Nelson's Death

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart introduces the "evergreen" death of Admiral Nelson. "Almost as silly as the 'Fish-Slapping Dance,'" says Cleese.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck's gary king reveals bombshell claim against accuser as sailing yacht season 5 status remains unclear, 90 day fiancé's michael ilesanmi throws major shade amid angela deem's bold accusations after joining new family.

Below Deck has been facing criticism regarding alleged producer manipulation , and now beloved Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher from Below Deck Sailing Yacht wants to set the record straight. The Below Deck franchise is a series of television shows on Bravo that covers the lives of those who work on major luxury yachts around the world. The cramped and stressful conditions that the men and women aboard the yachts must work in have led to many entertaining seasons. However, Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 , which is currently airing, has come under fire for allegedly faking poor performances.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Daisy Kelliher set the record straight on rumors that the Below Deck shows are scripted.

After rumors began circulating that the " real " portion of " reality " was missing from the Below Deck franchise due to alleged producer manipulation, Daisy felt it was time to correct the narrative. She recently spoke to the Daily Express to discuss the recent rumors. She admitted that fans come up to her and ask her if the Below Deck shows are scripted , which she adamantly denied. Check out what Daisy had to say below:

"The most important thing is people always think it's scripted. They think it's directed…It's not. It certainly isn't. And, you know, I often get asked, ‘How do you ignore the cameras? And that's something where every single cast member comes on and wonders how they're going to do that. But when you're in such a high-pressure, fast-paced environment, it is quite incredible… Like, how the human psyche will just concentrate on what you're doing and not on your peripheral. What they've created is quite amazing. And it doesn't need a script, it doesn't need direction. Because of that, it shows what we do when we're in a high-pressure environment: we are just thinking about that one thing. It's very real; it's very organic. And, yeah, a few bits of entertainment. And I hope most people take it lightheartedly. Some people take it very seriously.”

What Daisy Kelliher’s Revelation Means For Below Deck Storylines

Below deck's drama is organic & not scripted for maximum drama.

In Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 , rumors began to circulate that the drama unfolding on the screen was not real but manipulated by the cast members throughout production . For example, Chef Johnathan "Jono" Shillingford has been trained for many years in the art of being a chef. However, when it was time to serve the charter guests, Chef Jono made more than one mistake that a professional chef should not have been able to make. These mistakes included serving cold eggs, improperly cooked meat, and even serving one guest a dish of raw fish that could have killed her.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

While it appears that the drama on the screen could be staged, Daisy's illustration of how production works behind the scenes suggests another explanation for Chef Jono's poor performance: pressure can play a significant part in the crew's behavior . The high-stress environment of working on a yacht can lead to ordinary people having reactions that are not unusual on yachts, but it also makes television great for viewers. When Bosun Iain Maclean failed to ensure the safety of the charter guests as they were paddleboarding, this was an actual oversight on his part, not the product of producer manipulation.

Our Take On Daisy Kelliher’s Claim That Below Deck Isn’t Scripted

Below deck is accurately portrayed.

In many instances, it can be hard to imagine that what is being shown on television is actually real and not scripted, and this is even more true when the drama is outrageous. Below Deck has filled many seasons showing the behavior of ordinary yachties, including their crewmates' messups, hookups, and reactions to these events. These actions can make it more believable that the producers guided them along , but the truth is that they are the genuine reactions of the people on screen. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht star's interview assures us that what we see is what we get.
