It is the fault of some of my friends here (such as copperbird and angusabranson) that I've found out Monkey is back and ended up looking at a page of quotes from the old series.



Narrator

'Even a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.' (1:1)

'The eunuch should not take pride in his chastity.' (1:1)

'When what is indestructible meets what is irresistable, the female all too often wins.' (1:4)

'The wicked go to hells, the good go to heavens and the pure neither live nor even die, but those hit on the head tend to fall unconscious.' (1:8)

'With the charity of ignorant people towards the different and helpless they stuck Monkey in a cage. He entertained them willy nilly and free entertainment is not to be despised.' (1:8)

'Pigsy is a long way from the enlightenment which transcends humanity. He is a long way too from the bottom of the cliff down which he is about to fall.' (2:7)

'A white horse is most easily lost in a snowstorm.'

'The Great Chinese Sage Lao Tzu said that words that are beautiful are seldom true.' (1:7)

'It is the beginning of wisdom to say I don't know.' (1:7)


Monkey

Monkey: 'Please excuse me when I say that you really are extraordinarily dim!' (1:10)

Monkey: 'Alright! Let battle commence! Wine and... bananas! Bring on the dancing girls!' (2:12)

Monkey: 'They'll be sorry. They'll be sorry if I die - except that I can't. Whatever you do it ends up raining. What's it all for? What's the point of it all? And if it hasn't got a point, what's the point of that?' (2:2)

Monkey: 'And where shall I find him, this King Youth?'
Earth God: 'He has a huge semi-detached palace at Black Pine Ridge.' (1:5)

To King Youth: 'The fact is we are kings ourselves. You could say that we two kings of Orient are. But joking set aside....' (1:5)

Monkey: 'You can't convince a deaf man by talking.'


Pigsy

Monkey: 'And even if we get the scriptures what good are they when the pig's completely and utterly illiterate?'
Pigsy: 'You said I was illegitimate. You've got to remember that some of us aren't just walking statues!'
Pigsy: 'Say something really insulting.'
Monkey: 'Okay... Pig!'


Sandy

Sandy: 'Now where's that spell against amphibious apes?' (1:2)

Sandy: 'Let's go to the inn.'
Monkey's Double: 'I'm already in, let's go out!' (3:13)

Sandy: 'You can always chop us up into pieces later.'
Pigsy: 'Much later!' (1:10)


Tripitaka

Tripitaka: 'You should live without fear. There's as much chance of good things as bad things.'
Sandy: 'It's a cheerful philosophy and I've heard it from people before. They're all dead now though.' (1:4)


Yu-lung
'No use sending an angry ape after a perished pig.' (1:7)

I really should investigate if Monkey is available in a format those of us non-PAL-enabled folks can view.....

One of my favorite shows as a wee lad growing up in New Zealand! Especially the cool song at the end as the credits run up.
