[Brian is writing graffiti on the palace wall. The Centurion catches him in the act]
Centurion: What's this, then? "Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romanes, they go, the house?
Brian: It says, "Romans go home. "
Centurion: No it doesn't ! What's the latin for "Roman"? Come on, come on !
Brian: Er, "Romanus" !
Centurion: Vocative plural of "Romanus" is?
Brian: Er, er, "Romani" !
Centurion: [Writes "Romani" over Brian's graffiti] "Eunt"? What is "eunt"? Conjugate the verb, "to go" !
Brian: Er, "Ire". Er, "eo", "is", "it", "imus", "itis", "eunt".
Centurion: So, "eunt" is...?
Brian: Third person plural present indicative, "they go".
Centurion: But, "Romans, go home" is an order. So you must use...?
[He twists Brian's ear]
Brian: Aaagh ! The imperative !
Centurion: Which is...?
Brian: Aaaagh ! Er, er, "i" !
Centurion: How many Romans?
Brian: Aaaaagh ! Plural, plural, er, "ite" !
Centurion: [Writes "ite"] "Domus"? Nominative? "Go home" is motion towards, isn't it?
Brian: Dative !
[the Centurion holds a sword to his throat]
Brian: Aaagh ! Not the dative, not the dative ! Er, er, accusative, "Domum" !
Centurion: But "Domus" takes the locative, which is...?
Brian: Er, "Domum" !
Centurion: [Writes "Domum"] Understand? Now, write it out a hundred times.

Monty Python long boring and not original? It suits the picture perfectly and I applaud the Captioneer who took the trouble to print this sketch out. It made me laugh.

I've had a think about this, and the problem here isn't that quote has been copied, since there are loads of captions that are direct quotes from films ('We're gonna need a bigger ____', for example). The reason that those work is because they take a well-known phrase and put it into a completely new context, and the humour lies in the incongruities between the quote and the image. This image is a direct reference to Monty Python's 'Life of Brian', and so the caption simply reiterates the context of the photograph. It's not a rip-off or any less of a quote than any other famous phrase used on Captionme.
Frankly, I find most images containing text useless to caption, since they've already been captioned. I normally don't vote images down, but I made an exception with this one because it was bound to lead to exactly this kind of issue- limited reference material, few creative possibilities, and too specific in context to play around with. I'm not knocking the captioner for posting it up, since there's sod all else that anyone could do with this image. Well done, in fact, for managing to find a way to get some votes out of it.
