Congratulations to our three winners of the Life Of Brian DVD Giveaway. You all provided excellent quotes from the film, but in the end, we could only choose three. Here are our winnners along with their quotes…..

Clayton -

-Listen. I’m only telling the truth. You have got a very big nose

-Hey. Your nose is going to be three foot wide across your face by the time I’ve finished with you!

-Well, who hit yours, then? Goliath’s big brother?

Ryan -

Ex-Leper: Okay, sir, my final offer: half a shekel for an old ex-leper?
Brian: Did you say “ex-leper”?
Ex-Leper: That’s right, sir, 16 years behind a veil and proud of it, sir.
Brian: Well, what happened?
Ex-Leper: Oh, cured, sir.
Brian: Cured?
Ex-Leper: Yes sir, bloody miracle, sir. Bless you!
Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I’m a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood’s gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! “You’re cured, mate.” Bloody do-gooder.

Brad -

Jailer: Next! Crucifixion?
Prisoner #1: Yes.
Jailer: Good. Out of the door. Line on the left. One cross each. Next! Crucifixion?
Prisoner #2: Ah, no. Freedom.
Jailer: What?
Prisoner #2: Eh, freedom for me. They said I hadn’t done anything, so I could go free and live on an island somewhere.
Jailer: Oh. Oh, well, that’s jolly good. Well, off you go, then.
Prisoner #2: Naah, I’m only pulling your leg. It’s crucifixion, really.

Congratulations!
