1. Once upon a time, there was a king who met a god in the forest when he was young. The god said to him, as long as you find the legendary holy grail, you can get everything. So he searched and searched, and even hit Jerusalem for this, but he still got nothing. He was suffering from this. One day the king sat alone on the throne and began to worry again, and a tramp walked into the palace. The tramp didn’t know the king, he only saw a painful man moaning, so he asked, “Can I help you?” The king glanced at him, shook his head, and said, “I’m thirsty.” So the tramp used a cup. Filled him with a glass of water. When the king drank the water, he was surprised to find that all his pain had disappeared, because he was holding the Holy Grail in his hand. He looked at the homeless man and asked, "Why do you have the Holy Grail?" The homeless

man replied, "Because you are thirsty, I just fill it with water for you." 2. People are always changing their ways. Outline your own legend and want everything with paranoid logic. This story just says that you get the best of everything with sincere help.

3. I love, I am right. How about you?

The Fisher King quotes

  • Parry: There's three things in this world that you need: Respect for all kinds of life, a nice bowel movement on a regular basis, and a navy blazer.

  • Jack Lucas: You're on the air, caller.

    Edwin: Hello, Jack, it's Edwin.

    Jack Lucas: Oh, it's Edwin! Edwin, we haven't heard from you in, what, a day? I've missed you.

    Edwin: I've missed you too, Jack.

    Jack Lucas: So, it's sunrise confession time, Ed, what've you got for us?

    Edwin: Um, I went to this bar, this very, you know, hard-to-get-into place called Babbitt's.

    Jack Lucas: Oh. Yeah, I know the place, it's one of those chic yuppie watering holes.

    Edwin: Well, I met this beautiful woman...

    Jack Lucas: [groans] Come on, now, Ed. If you start, uh, telling me you're falling in love again, I'm going to have to remind you of that time we made you propose to that, uh, checkout girl at Thrifty's that you liked so much, you remember her reaction?

    [door slamming is heard with woman screaming sound effects; Jack's crew make disgusted noises]

    Edwin: She was just a girl...

    Jack Lucas: Uh-huh.

    Edwin: ...this is a beautiful woman.

    Jack Lucas: Yeah, and "Pinocchio" is a true story. Ed, you're never going to get this tart to your dessert plate.

    Edwin: No, this is different...

    Jack Lucas: Edwin.

    Edwin: She likes...

    Jack Lucas: Edwi-- hey!

    [whistles]

    Jack Lucas: Hey! Edwin! Hey, c'mon now, I told you about these people, they only mate with their own kind, it's called "yuppie inbreeding". That's why so many of them are retarded and wear the same clothes. They're not human, they don't feel love, they only negotiate "love moments". They're evil, Edwin, they're repulsed by imperfection, horrified by the banal, everything that America stands for, everything that you and I fight for! They must be stopped before it's too late! It's us or them!

    Edwin: [quietly] OK, Jack.

    Jack Lucas: Alright. Well, it's been a thrill. As always, have a perfect day. Everyone here at the Jack Lucas Show says bye. This is Jack Lucas, so long, arrivederce; I'll be sending you a thought today as I lie in the back of my stretched limo having sex with a teenager of my choice, and that thought will be, "Thank God I'm me".
