'A mime is a terrible thing to waste'


fk! i laughed so hard watching that scene tonight. so embarrasing with about 8 other people in the room, maybe 2 or 3 laughed, and i simply laughed so hard tears were running down my face.

just watching king john turn towards the sherrif and say that line; "wait! you know, a mime is a terrible thing to waste" (in a serious manner).

oh man....that's what makes this movie so funny, cuz the jokes are so deadpan stupid, that they come out absolutely f'n hilarious, especially in scenes where they're delivered just right, like this scene.

I know!

Later, when Robin came in with that "wild boar" and threw it on the table, did you hear King John quietly say, "Traif!"?
