OK... all the English out there... Monty Python is one of my favorite movies. One of my favorite scenes is that with the witch, but I never understood what she said when she was on the scale (was discussing movie with Holly last night and she also questioned).
So can someone help me out... what does "It's a fair cop" mean?
CROWD:
Ohh! Ohh! Burn the witch! Burn the witch! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! Ahh! Ahh...
BEDEVERE:
Right. Remove the supports!
[whop]

CROWD:
A witch! A witch! A witch!
WITCH:
It's a fair cop.
VILLAGER #3:
Burn her!
Any other Grail fans out there and favorite lines? I love... "she turned me into a Newt"

Tim, it means something along the lines of "fair enough, you got me" derived from when a criminal is caught by a police officer. Ian  Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. --Benjamin Franklin

Their use of the phrase it's a fair cop guv is really a reference to another old British TV series called Dixon of Dock Green. Dixon was a 'friendly local bobby' and the people he nicked were 'likeable rogues but true gents' who didn't put up a fight but said ... it's a pi$$take.
And what's he then that says I play the villain

Mike, John Cleese is definitely one of my all time favorites. I absolutely loved him in Fawlty Towers, which incidentally was filmed in walking distance from my house growing up (not in Torquay where it was set). Ian  Basil Fawlty: START. Start, you vicious ######. Oh my God. I'm warning you, if you don't start... I'll count to three. 1, 2, 3, right, that does it. [Gets out] Basil Fawlty: I'm going to give you a damn good thrashing.

My favourite has to be in Jabberwocky when this guy with incredibly bad teeth describes someone's encounter with the fearsome Jabberwocky.
"...he claimed he'd seen it. Turned his teeth snow white overnight, they say."

Everything about Monty Python is funny...but how can we --especially us--forget about The Ministry of Silly Walks?? "Hmmm, yes...that's not rheally veddy silly now, is it?"
