"It's satire."
"No, it isn't. This is zany madcap humour."
With that immortal exchange, nearly everything Pythonian is summed up. For those who haven't memorized every single Python skit (or for those who have and who are looking to free up some short-term memory), this book and its companion volume ("All The Words, Volume I") are must-haves. Every single word from every single bit ever done on "Monty Python's Flying Circus" is in here. It's a joy and a treasure and a non-stap laff riot.
Every Python nut is familiar with the "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" tale, the dead parrot sketch, the Ministry of Silly Walks and so on. But even beyond these justly famed classics, there is wonderfully silly stuff herein. I never realized until buying this and the companion Volume I how utterly the Python crew had mastered the gorgeously silly non-sequiter. To wit:
"Would Albert Einstein ever have hit upon the theory of relativity if he hadn't been clever?"
"Don't call me señor! I'm not a Spanish person. You must call me Mr. Biggles, or Group Captain Biggles, or Mary Biggles if I'm dressed as my wife, but never señor."
"I'm afraid we are unable to show you any more of that letter. We continue with a man with a stoat through his head."
"Were you worried when his head started to come loose?"
It just doesn't get any better than this, and being able to sit and peruse the scripts without watching the frenetic activity on the screen only goes to strengthen the generally accepted view that these guys were genius writers. As the book back states, these volumes are the winners of "the 1989 PYTHON PRIZE for their own books." ARE there higher honors than this?

If you're a Python fan (like me) you want this book (in fact, you want both volumes). I own the entire series on DVD and the books are a great complement to the DVDs. So, if you want to read along or maybe even memorize the whole "Johann Gambol-puddy...." sequence, pick up your copy today.

Reading the scripts brings back memories of when Monty Python's Flying Circus was first aired on American TV. Even the bad sketches are better than 90% of the comedy sketches being done today.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2013
For years I watched every Monty Python Flying Circus episode that aired on PBS. Then one Christmas my daughter bought me the complete set of episodes on DVD. Now I could watch every episode as many times as I desired. One thing was still lacking. As a tin-eared American, who sometimes has trouble picking up what Britishers are saying, there were still those snippets of dialogue that I couldn't understand. As all true fans know, the ability to repeat an entire sketch word for word is a coveted achievement. (It is also great for annoying people at social gatherings, ranking just behind being able to recite the names and dates of all the Popes at ensuring that one will never again be invited to an unwanted social occasion.)

And so it was that when my wife bought me the two-volume "All the Words" at last I had the resource that is indispensable for every true Monty Python fan. I now could repeat the dialogue of every sketch without fear of getting it wrong. As every Monty Python fan knows, accuracy is of the essence. A good approximation is not enough.

This had the rest of the classic sketches that were in the series. I've got the first volume. This is volume 2. I've also seen the series but only own a small part of them. They are one of the funniest tv shows. They came out before I was born, but first starting seeing them when I was about 18. This has dirty Hungarian phrasebook, whicker's world, the money programme, Everest climbed by hairdressers, gumby brain specialist, storage jars, Icelandic honey week plus heaps of others.

This is a great book for anyone who really loves Monty Python. All of the original texts of skits are in order both by episode and within the episodes.
