From Monty Python's Life Of Brian:



FRANCIS: Yeah. I think Judith's point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man--

STAN: Or woman.


FRANCIS: Or woman... to rid himself--


STAN: Or herself.


FRANCIS: Or herself.


REG: Agreed.


FRANCIS: Thank you, brother.


STAN: Or sister.


FRANCIS: Or sister. Where was I?


REG: I think you'd finished.


FRANCIS: Oh. Right.


REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--


STAN: Or woman.


REG: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.


STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.


FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?


STAN: I want to be one.


REG: What?


STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.


REG: What?!


LORETTA: It's my right as a man.


JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?


LORETTA: I want to have babies.


REG: You want to have babies?!


LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.


REG: But... you can't have babies.


LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.


REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!


LORETTA: [crying]


JUDITH: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.


FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.


REG: What's the point?


FRANCIS: What?


REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!


FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.


REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
