The Final Rip Off is a compilation album by the Monty Python troupe. The original LP was released through Virgin Records in 1987 and consisted of two discs. Except for some brief new linking material by Michael Palin and alternative versions of "Henry Kissinger" and "I Like Chinese", all material on the album had been previously released.
Famous quotes containing the words final and/or rip:
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our missiles always make too short an arc:
They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
The curve of earth, and striking, break their own;”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
