This is a rough quotation from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail,
when King Arthur and his men stumble on a castle manned by Frenchmen.
They use the ruse of a Trojan Bunny to gain entrance, only they forget
to put anyone inside.  A little earlier, the Frenchmen fired a cow over
the wall onto KA & his men.  The quote comes from the French officer
ordering his men to get the cow...  The presence of the bunny on the
battlefield looked like a tip of the hat to Monty Python...


A LEGO employee is probably a Monty Python fan, the Soccertruck also had
this scene in the castle display:

Monty Python rules :-)
"I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king"
"Look,  strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ...
that's no basis for a system of government."
