Arthur
[The Knights, along with Brother Maynard, venture into the cave and find the runes.]

There! Look!

Lancelot

What does it say?

Galahad

What language is that?

Arthur

Brother Maynard! You are our scholar.

Brother Maynard
[studies the runes]

It's Aramaic.

Arthur

What does it say?

Maynard

It says, 'Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Arimethea: "He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of Aaaaarrrgh"'.

Arthur
[pause]

What?

Maynard

'"...The Castle of Aaaaarrrgh"'.

Bedevere
[pause]

Where is that?

Maynard

He must have died while carving it.

Lancelot
[incredulous]

Oh, come on!

Maynard

Well that's what it says.

Arthur

Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'Aaaaarrrgh'. He'd just say it!

Galahad

Perhaps he was dictating.
