Welease Wodewick! ... from Life of Brian by Adam de la Mare
This is one of my favorite lines from Monty Python’s Life Of Brian… classic!
There are so many classic lines in this movie… and here is the scene this line is from… for all you Python fans:

I love where Brian(?), being chased by the Centurions, falls from a tower, lands in a spaceship that’s being chased by another spaceship and they fly half way round the universe before the chasers eventually shoots the first spaceship which crashes right about where Brian would’ve landed if he’d fallen unimpeded anyway.
This is all watched by a beggar leaning against the tower, who watches Brian step unscathed from a potentially deadly fall, saved by a spaceship and a flight around the outer space, and then getting shot down and crashing where he would’ve fallen anyway.
As Brian brushes off the dust, the beggar just mumbles “lucky shit!”
lol… pure gold!!

I have a t-shirt, bought in Camden Markets (London) “Judean Peoples Front” and whenever I wear it people come up and say lines from the film to me. It’s awesome and so is this t-shirt.
ha ha.. that’s excellent Bryan! I know Camden Market very well… my brother sells retro & mod clothing there and at Portobello Market!
