This is from a great site http://www.ibras.dk/montypython/justthewords.htm
That has the complete scripts from every episode of every season (there were... (goes to look) ... four) of that great British TV show of old... Monty Python's Flying Circus. Color coded to each actor's name and their parts.
The script below is from their fourth season and is known as "The man who finishes other peoples sentences"... hilarious. Eric Idle and Terry Jones play the parts...
Enjoy, I think you'll find it ... smashing!
