A scene from The Court Jester 1955
Griselda

Listen. I have put a pellet of poison in one of the vessels.

Hawkins

Which one?

Griselda

The one with the figure of a pestle.

Hawkins

The vessel with the pestle?

Griselda

Yes. But you don't want the vessel with the pestle, you want the chalice from the palace!

Hawkins

I don't want the vessel with the pestle, I want the chalice from... the what?

Jean

The chalice from the palace!

Hawkins

Hmmm?

Griselda

It's a little crystal chalice with a figure of a palace.

Hawkins

The chalice from the palace has the pellet with the poison?

Griselda

No, the pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle.

Hawkins

Oh, oh, the pestle with the vessel.

Jean

The vessel with the pestle.

Hawkins

What about the palace from the chalice?

Griselda

Not the palace from the chalice! The chalice from the palace!

Hawkins

Where's the pellet with the poison?

Griselda

In the vessel with the pestle. The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.

Jean

Don't you see? The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle.

Griselda

The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!

Jean

It's so easy, I can say it.

Hawkins

Well then you fight him!

Griselda

Listen carefully. The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.

Hawkins

The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.

Jean

Good man!
