    Guard: Halt! Who goes there?
    King Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
    Guard: Pull the other one!
    King Arthur: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
    Guard: What? Ridden on a horse?
    King Arthur: Yes!
    Guard: You're using coconuts!
    King Arthur: What?
    Guard: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
    King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
    Guard: Where'd you get the coconuts?
    King Arthur: We found them.
    Guard: Found them? In Mercia?! The coconut's tropical!
    King Arthur: What do you mean?
    Guard: Well, this is a temperate zone.
    King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
    Guard: Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
    King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
    Guard: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
    King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
    Guard: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
    King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
    Guard: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
    King Arthur: Please!
    Guard: Am I right?
    King Arthur: I'm not interested!
    [A second guard approaches the parapet]
    Guard 2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
    Guard 1: Oh yeah. An African swallow, maybe -- but not a European swallow, that's my point.
    Guard 2: Oh yeah, I agree with that.
    King Arthur: [exasperated] Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?!
    Guard 1: But, of course, African swallows are non-migratory.
    Guard 2: Oh, yeah.
    [Arthur begins to depart]
    Guard 1: ...So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway.
