:05:00
in search of knights who will join me
in my court at Camelot.
:05:03
I must speak with your lord and master.
:05:06
- What, ridden on a horse?
- Yes.
:05:09
You're using coconuts.
:05:10
- What?
- You're banging together two coconuts.
:05:15
So? We have ridden since the snows
of winter covered this land.
:05:19
Through the kingdom of Mercia--
:05:21
- Where'd you get the coconuts?
- We found them.
:05:25
In Mercia?
The coconut's tropical.
:05:28
- What do you mean?
- This is a temperate zone.
:05:31
The swallow may
fly south with the sun...
:05:33
or the house martin or the plover
may seek warmer climes in winter...
:05:37
yet these are not strangers
to our land.
:05:39
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
:05:43
Not at all.
They could be carried.
:05:45
What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
:05:48
It could grip it by the husk.
:05:50
It's not a question
of where he grips it.
:05:53
It's a simple question of weight ratios.
:05:55
A five-ounce bird could not carry
a one-pound coconut.
:06:00
It doesn't matter.
:06:01
Tell your master that Arthur
from the court of Camelot is here.
:06:06
In order to maintain
air speed velocity...
:06:09
a swallow needs to beat its wings
43 times every second.
:06:14
Please!
:06:16
- Am I right?
- I'm not interested.
:06:18
It could be carried
by an atrican swallow.
:06:21
An atrican swallow, maybe,
but not a European swallow.
:06:26
- That's my point.
- I agree with that.
:06:28
Will you ask your master if he wants
to join my court at Camelot?
:06:33
But then, of course,
atrican swallows are nonmigratory.
:06:37
So they couldn't bring
a coconut back anyway.
:06:40
Wait a minute. Supposing two swallows
carried it together!
:06:44
No, they'd have to have it on a Iine.
:06:46
Simple. They just use
a strand of creeper.
:06:50
-Held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
-Why not?
:06:55
Bring out your dead!
