To: Maximus of Texas
Not four. Nor shall ye count to five. But three shall be the count.

Pretty close. From the screenplay:

....and the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.

Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three.

Four shalt thou not count,neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Five is right out.

Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

I'm not being pedantic, I just thought you might like to know.

Cheerio!
