Head Knight: The Knights Who Say Ni demand a sacrifice!
King Arthur: Knights of Ni, we are but simple travelers who seek the enchanter who lives beyond these woods–
Knights who say Ni: NI! NI! NI! NI!
King Arthur: Oh, ow!
Head Knight: We shall say “Ni” again to you, if you do not appease us.
King Arthur: Well, what do you want?
Head Knight: We want a shrubbery!! [jarring chord]
