Monty Python's Flying Circus1969
Genre: Comedy
Man:
An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
Mr. Vibrating:
No it isn't.
Man:
Yes it is. It's not just contradiction.
Mr. Vibrating:
Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
Man:
But that's not just saying, "No it isn't."
Mr. Vibrating:
Yes it is.
Man:
No it isn't. An argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
Mr. Vibrating:
No it isn't.
Man:
Yes it is.
Mr. Vibrating:
Not at all.
Man:
Now look...
Mr. Vibrating:
[bell rings] Good morning.
Man:
What?
Mr. Vibrating:
That's it. Good morning.
Man:
It was just getting interesting.
Mr. Vibrating:
Sorry, the five minutes is up.
Man:
That was never five minutes.
