Testing the Waters
I have in my possession a full screenplay of both the original first draft, as well as the finished (movie) draft of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Thinking about doing a little thing here on Imgur, sharing my behind the scenes (ha) look at how the movie could have gone. Just wondering what the interest would be for something like that.
Also open to suggestions. Maybe do a "daily Cera" thing where I post one weird tidbit every day, or like a highlights reel of what I thought was most cool/interesting. Or even like a Q&A style thing. Lend me your voice, oh noble Imgur.
Sorry for text wall. TL;DR- I have this screenplay. It's cool. Share?
JustYourAverageNerd
I can already quote half the movie
FireInTheHoleBitch
But is it an African or European screenplay?

Only if a pic of coconuts are in every single post. :D

This is the golden opportunity to find out what 'Tim's' real name was!
TheBatleyTownswomensGuild
It was Tim all along. John Cleese didn't improvise his name at all.

I think I'm going to go with a "daily post" type thing. Today doesn't really count since this doesn't contain information. Stay tuned ;)

Back in the day, Python didn't have a penny to shit on, let alone having a fancy cover printed. Why are you pretending this is a rare find?

THIS is why we need the ability to follow/favorite people & comments.

I will fart in your general direction if you don't deliver

Highlights reel for sure. I come here because someone else has skimmed out only the good stuff so I don't have to wade through a sea of crap

Me too. Everyone acting like it's rare as fuck
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Oh, I've never said it was rare at all, but I'll say it's a lot more interesting than most stuff on here, and they seem to want to see it :)

Yea I thought so too. Still a cool book to have!

there clearly isn't much interest. Both the days so far got buried in usersub pretty hard. Any particular questions feel free to PM me. (2/2

I used to have the screenplay as well but I gave it to my boyfriend

Alright guys. If you're reading this, I might do one more day tomorrow, but despite the attention this post received, (1/2)

Ending. I want the actual ending. I want written proof that everyone arrested is the intended ending.
Hendlton
I really want the movie remade but with money so they can actually finish the finals scene.
valen00
Does it have a real ending?
tykkiduw
Yea I thought that too. Still a cool book to have!

I want to know what Tim the Sorcerer's name was supposed to be.
PalulukanMakto
Prodigal Sorcerer
CorvusBelli
Tim.
It's a myth that the line was improvised, I'm afraid.
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
I posted that lol
PalulukanMakto

How did this come into your possession?
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Got it off Ebay years ago. Recent posts have made me dig it back up :)
randomasduck
Is it worth anything? I have a copy lying around at home...
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Not sure. I'd guess not, I paid about 30$ for mine IIRC

Thats amazing, you gotta hook us up man.

I have a copy of this also. It's actually filled some not so great stuff. Like there's a three page discussion about ant colonies.
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Have any delivery ideas? I'm not very keen on posting an entire volume page for page in a post.
IidentifyAsATomatoTomatoIsAGenderRight
OP you must, you MUST share! It is imperative you SHARE THIS WITH US!
SpaceCthulhu
Scan to PDF, share link on Google Drive?
Yirr
You should reenact the whole movie but with the original draft!
shiyal
I can get you an address to mail them to.
DekuSapling
You should deliver the copies via swallow
llamalliberationlleague
African Swallow or European Swallow?
Joat54
I don't know.

You have the unique ability to tell us if "Tim" was Cleese's name in the first draft.
Codiferous
Don't know if it's the same version, but the March '74 version still has Tim in it.
BeeeardedMan
Yes, mail it to me and I will take care of it for you.
Paeve
Post one page at a time, once a day. Then if you die, loads of ppl on imgur will know.
MadDucks
Or if OP stops posting, lots of people on imgur would track them down with intent to harm
