"Of course he has a knife. He always has a knife. We all have knives. It's 1183 and we're barbarians."
- Eleanor of Aquitaine
Only Kathryn Hepburn could have got away with such a precious anachronism, if anyone could. She doesn't quite pull it off - the line always pulls me out of the movie, as if she'd said, "It's 1183 and we haven't invented pistols." But still, for her I put up with it.
