"BRIAN: Larks' tongues. Otters' noses.
Ocelot spleens.
REG: Got any nuts?
BRIAN: I haven't got any nuts.
Sorry. I've got wrens' livers,
badgers' spleens--
REG: No, no, no.
BRIAN: Otters' noses?
REG: I don't want any of that Roman
rubbish.
JUDITH: Why don't you sell proper
food?
BRIAN: Proper food?
REG: Yeah, not those rich
imperialist tit-bits.
BRIAN: Well, don't blame me. I
didn't ask to sell this stuff.
REG: All right. Bag of otters'
noses, then.
FRANCIS: Make it two."
