    Sorry I couldn’t resist…from http://lorien.sdsu.edu/~carroll/shrub.html

    Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
    Arthur: Who are you?
    Knight of Ni: We are the Knights who say….. “Ni”!
    Arthur: (horrified) No! Not the Knights who say “Ni”!
    Knight of Ni: The same.
    Other Knight of Ni: Who are we?
    Knight of Ni: We are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Ping, and Nee-womm!
    Other Knight of Ni: Nee-womm!
    Arthur: (to Bedevere) Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!
    Knight of Ni: The knights who say “Ni” demand….. a sacrifice!
    Arthur: Knights of Ni, we are but simple travelers who seek the enchanter who
    lives beyond these woods.
    Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
    Bedevere: No! Noooo! Aaaugh! No!
    Knight of Ni: We shall say “Ni” to you… if you do not appease us.
    Arthur: Well what is it you want?
    Knight of Ni: We want…..

    (pregnant pause)

    A SHRUBBERY!!!!

    (minor music)

    Arthur: A WHAT?
    Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni!! Ni! Ni!
    Arthur; No! No! Please, please, no more! We will find you a shrubbery.
    Knight of Ni: You must return here with a shrubbery… or else you will never
    pass through this wood… alive.
    Arthur: O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a
    shrubbery.
    Knight of Ni: One that looks nice.
    Arthur: Of course!
    Knight of Ni: And not too expensive.
    Arthur; Yes!
    Knight of Ni: Noowwwww…. GO!

    (music)

    Arthur: O Knights of Ni. We have brought you your shrubbery. May we go now?
    Knight of Ni: Yes, it is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly.
    But there is one small problem….
    Arthur: What is that?
    Knight of Ni: We are now no longer the Knights Who Say “Ni”!
    Other Knights of Ni: Ni! Shh! Shh!
    Knight of Ni: We are now the Knights who say “Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z’Bang, zoom-Boing, z’nourrrwringmm”.
    Other Knight of Ni: Ni!
    Knight of Ni: Therefore, we must give you a test.
    Arthur: What is this test, O Knights of…..
    Knights who ’til recently said “Ni”?
    Knight of Ni: Firstly, you must find….

    ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!!!

    (minor music)

    Arthur: Oh not another shrubbery!!
    Knight of Ni: (excitedly) THEN… Then, when you have found the shrubbery,
    you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly
    higher, so we get the two-level effect with a little path
    running down the middle.
    Other Knights of Ni: A path! A path! A path! Shh, shhh. Ni! Ni!
    Knight of Ni: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the
    mightiest tree in the forest…
    Wiiiiiithh…. A HERRING!
