Where to begin, where to begin.....

OK, how about

“The vessel with the pestle has the pellet with the poison; the phlagon with the dragon is the brew that is true.”

(and several variations)

“Get it?” “Got it.” “Good!” ;-)

Re: “The vessel with the pestle has the pellet with the poison; the phlagon with the dragon is the brew that is true.”

The Court Jester (1955)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049096/

Hawkins: I’ve got it! I’ve got it! The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Griselda: Right. But there’s been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Hawkins: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
Hawkins: The pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Griselda: Just remember that.
