Remember that Danny Kaye movie, where he has to remember "The pellet with the
poison's in
the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is
true"?
This came up because a client asked me to make changes to a website. She said
"The first in
the second goes in the first, the second goes because it's in the fourth" and I
couldn't
stop laughing.
Anyway...
Hawkins (Danny Kaye): 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.
