-->'''Cleese:''' Graham Chapman, co-author of the Parrot sketch, is no more. He has ceased to be, bereft of life, he rests in peace. [[HurricaneOfEuphemisms He's kicked the bucket, popped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last]], and gone to meet the great head of light entertainment in the sky. And I guess that we're all thinking how sad it is that a man of such talent, [[NiceGuy of such capability for kindness]], [[TheSmartGuy of such unusual intelligence]], [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth should now so suddenly be spirited away at the age of only forty-eight,]] [[WhatCouldHaveBeen before he'd achieved many of the things of which he was capable]], and before he'd had enough fun.]] Well, I feel that I should say: Nonsense. [[MoodWhiplash Good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard, I hope he fries.]]

-->'''Cleese:''' And the reason I feel I ''should'' say this, is he would never forgive me if I didn't, if I threw away this glorious opporrtunity to shock you all on his behalf. Anything for him but mindless good taste. I could hear him whispering in my ear last night as I was writing this, "Alright, Cleese," he was saying, "You're very proud of being the very first person ever to say 'shit' on British television. If this service is ''really'' for me, just for starters, I want to you to become the first person ever, at a British memorial service, to say [[PrecisionFStrike 'fuck']]."
