    Reg: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man —
    Stan: Or woman.
    Reg: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan? You're putting us off.
    Stan: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
    Francis: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
    Stan: I want to be one.
    Reg, Francis: What?
    Stan: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me "Loretta".
    Reg: Wha'?
    Loretta: It's my right as a man.
    Judith: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
    Loretta: I want to have babies.
    Reg: You want to have babies?!
    Loretta: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
    Reg: But... you can't have babies.
    Loretta: Don't you oppress me!
    Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan, you haven't got a womb! Where's the fetus gonna gestate? You gonna keep it in a box?
    [Stan/Loretta starts to cry.]
    Judith: Here! I-I've got an idea. Suppose that you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb — which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans' — but that he can have the right to have babies.
    Francis: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister, sorry.
    Reg: Wh-what's the point?
    Francis: Wha'?
    Reg: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?
    Francis: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression!
    Reg: Symbolic of your struggle against reality, more like.

    Hi Suzie,

    Thanks for bringing back a fun memory. I'd forgotten this bit - there was so much going on in Life of Brian. (My favorite is Eric Idle's song at the end.)

    Best,
    Melody

    Great post Suzie, Life of Brian's a real classic film & this is another good part, which involves a meeting of the PFJ ( people's front of Judea.
