Scene: Two people are having a fairly** normal conversation. One person starts asking the other a lot of questions, to which the other replies, "I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!" (This line was referenced by Ocelot II in reply #1)

Through the door burst three men in red Catholic Cardinals outfits, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" proclaims Michael Palin.

The three Inquisitors then go about applying absurd tortures, including what I think is a dish rack tied about the woman's chest. When that doesn't break her will, one of the Inquisitors calls, "Bring out the comfy chair!" because obviously the dish rack torture wasn't cruel enough. The woman is then settled into the comfy chair and the silliness continues.



* There has to be a Monty Pythonesque way to say that.
** It's Monty Python, so "normal" is a loose descriptor.
