the rules are simple: pick an obscure line from a monty python skit, and guess the one before. now to start: ahem.

"he's right you know."

None of them are obscure to me. How about this:

"a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends."

it's from the last part of the camelspotting sketch, when they're in the boardroom. there's a signe that says "there's no place for sentiment in big business," and one of the blokes quotes it, and turns the sign over. it says: "he's right, you know." a little later on someone says "oh, you're no fun anymore," and the camelspotter comes and kicks some ass.
