Friar Hegarty's beheading is my second-favorite beheading.
The Enchantment of the Emerald Isle is my favorite enchantment.
What is your favorite then? It's Mary Queen of Scots, isn't it?
My favorite enchantment is the Enchantment Under the Sea dance in Back to the Future.
One of the Indiana Jones movies had ample beheading. Is Mary Queen of Scots the one that needed 12 swipes to get the job done?
No, my favorite beheading is the water buffalo in Apocalypse Now. But Hannah's favorite is Mary Queen of Scots.
