Monty Python Scripts
Man-powered Flight
The cast:
- ANNOUNCER
- John Cleese
The sketch:
(A field. A man with large mechanical wings, pulleys and
gears contraption, running along trying to fly. Cut to him going
faster. Cut to him going even faster. Cut to him even faster and
suddenly he appears to take off, jumping off a dune or a hillock.
Cut to him flying in slow motion so that it looks like he is
gliding. He hits what seems to be a be a cliff. Camera twists round
so that it is the right way up, showing that the flyer has fallen
down a cliff onto a beach. It pans across flora the wreck of the
flyer. As it pans across the sand various other would-be fliers can
be seen, heads in the sand, legs kicking up in the air, amidst the
broken debris of their planes. Camera continues to pan until it
comes across an announcer sitting at his desk:)
Announcer: And now for something completely
different.
