Quotes
Robinson Crusoe: When we first met you were nothing but a savage, but I have educated you.
Friday: When I first met you, you were a killer possessed by demons and I taught you how to sing and dance. Not very well, but I taught you that much at least. And your head was full of nothing but your own power, your own guilt, and the fear of a cruel god. But perhaps I was a very bad teacher, because your head is still full of thoughts of power and guilt and fear.

Now this is a dead parrot

Maybe this is where the Monty Python team got their idea of the dead parrot sketch.Personally I would have preferred it if Roundtree had terminated a wildly overreacting Peter O Toole and saved us his shouting and screamng.Perhaps the makers of this film should have gone on to make Oliver Twist with a kind hearted Beadle always handing out second helpings and Fagin running a orphanage.Would have made more sense than this.
