What you gonna do? Bleed on me?!
Odd how few of these quotes are from the Black Knight scene. My picks are
"I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster, and you father smelled of elderberries." Pretty much anything the french guard says is my favorite, but that's his top line IMO. The accent is what totally makes it work.
"'Tis but a scratch!"
Okay, serious violation of the two line rule but I am posting the below simply because in the great length of this post they still haven't been listed and they are comedy gold:
Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here.
I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king!
You even kicked the bride in the chest!
That's the most foul, cruel and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on.
And we'd better not risk another frontal assault, that rabbit's dynamite!
Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.

Of course it's much funnier in Terry Jones ratbag voice.
"No, I mean "whoooaaaaaah," as in surprise and alarm!"

From Robin's Minstrels:
"When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned around and fled, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin..."
and my signature.
"Well she turned me in to a newt!... I got better."
It reads, "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Aramathia. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the Castle of Aaauuuggghhh... "
Oh, wicked, bad, naughty Zoot! She has been setting a light to our beacon, which, I've just remembered, is Grail shaped. It's not the first time we've had this problem.
