And now for something completely different.......
I always heard it as "It's a fair cop." Which I understand is British
equivalent to our "DOH! BUSTED!!"...

"Q: What does the witch say after she has been tried and found guilty by the
logician in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail?"
A: "It's a fair cop." The phrase is thieves cant for "you've got me dead to
rights" which means that there has been no entrapment and the person
was fairly caught in the act. The line has also been used in a few
other Flying Circus sketches like "Dead Bishop on the Landing / The
Church Police" and "Whizzo Chocolates.""

Subject: [MV] Question for King Arthur and his court
Hi all Monty Python fans (skip this if you are not one),
What is "the witch's" last line? Sounds like "Twas a fair court" but not
sure about this.
MV content: was the Trojan Bunny Rabbit multifuel?
Thanks and God bless! Gene
