Yeah, that bit was a bit too monty python... I think you can argue whether it's a tribute or a rip-off...
The exact movie that's from is Life of Brian, the scene where Brian gets thrown into jail with an old guy in chains who says something like:
"Ooooh you must be the favorite, I wonder why they treat you so nicely?!"
"Favorite?? He just spat on me!"
"Is that it? Hah! I dream of being spat upon! You know, just last week they finally decided to hang me up straight!"
Can't remember it exactly anymore... It went on for a long time though... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
and when he is being crucified the guy looks at him from out the window and yells at him "lucky" or something. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
