When Arthur cravenly compliments Him on the notion of a quest for the Grail, Cleese the Almighty bellows in that distinct and cutting tenor: "Of course it's a good idea. I'm God, you stupid...
...You’ll have to start out at Pinocchio’s (74 Winthrop Street), more commonly known as ’Nochs, for a good slice of Sicilian pizza. Their tomato and basil pizza is unbeatable and their subs are also fantastic, particularly the steak and cheese sub with grilled onions.
