Did a little research, and found that this is taken from a very famous historical moment where an important man is standing on a hillside (mount) oraculating.
The time was JUDEA A.D.33 - SATURDAY AFTERNOON - ABOUT TEA TIME.
It is quoted (in proper context) below:
Jesus: How blessed are the sorrowful; they shall find consolation. How blessed are those of gentle spirit; they shall have the earth for their possession. How blessed are those who hunger, and thirst to see right prevail; They shall be satisfied...
(The camera slowly pulls back until Jesus can hardly be heard. Here we can see MC and Brian now 33 years old {she hasn't aged a bit, lucky her}!)
MC: Speak up|
Brian: Ssssh. Quiet mum.
MC: Well I can't hear a thing. Let's go to stoning.
(We can now see a few group of people around the area... a man (Bignose), and his wife (Bn Wife); A Jew, and his wife; and a man I'm going to call 'Trouble' for reasons which shall soon become clear.!)
Bignose: Sssh.
Brian: You can go to the stoning any time.
MC: Oh come on Brian.
Bignose: Will you be quiet|
Bn wife: Don't pick yer nose.
Bignose: I wasn't picking my nose. I was scratching it.
Bn wife: You was picking it... while you was talking to that lady.
Bignose: I wasn't.
Bn wife: Leave it alone. Give it a rest.
Trouble: Do you mind? I can't hear a word he's saying.
Bn wife: Don't you 'Do you mind' me. I was talking to my husband.
Trouble: Well go and talk to him somewhere else... I can't hear a bloody thing.
Bignose: Don't you swear at my wife.
Trouble: I was only asking her to shut up so I could hear what he was saying, Bignose.
Bnwife: Don't you call my husband Bignose.
Trouble: Well he has got a big nose.
Jew: Could you be quite, please. What was that?
Trouble: I don't know... I was too busy talking to Bignose.
Man: I think it was
'Blessed are the cheese-makers'.
Jewwife: Ah. What's so special about the cheese-makers?
Jew: Well obviously it's not meant to be taken literally, it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
Trouble: See. If you hadn't been going on, we'd have heard that, Bignose.
Bignose: Hey. Say that once more, I'll smash your bloody face in.
Trouble: Better keep listening. There might be a bit about blessed are the Bignoses.
Brian: Oh lay off him. Trouble: Well you're not so bad yourself, conch-face. Where are you two from? Nose city?
Bignose: One more time, mate. I'll take you to the cleaners.
Bn Wife: Language... and don't pick your nose.
Bignose: I wasn't going to pick my nose, I was going to thump him.
Man2: Hear that? Blessed are the greek.
Jew: The greek?
Man2: Well apparently, he's going to inherit the earth.
Jew: Did anyone catch his name?
Bn wife: You're not going to thump anybody.
Bignose: I'll thump him if he calls me Bignose again.
Trouble: Oh shut up Bignose.
Bignose: Ah. Orright. I warned you. I really will slug you so hard...
(Meanwhile his wife is talking to another man beside her getting the real story.!)
Bnwife: Oh it's the Meek| Blessed are the meek| Oh that's nice innit. I'm glad they're getting something 'cause they have a hell of a time.
Trouble: Listen. I'm only telling the truth... you have got a very big nose.
Bignose: Hey. Your nose is gonna be three ft wide across your face by the time I've finished with you.
Man: Sssssh.
Trouble: Who hit yours then? Goliath's big brother?
Bignose: Oh. Right. That's your last warning
Jewwife: Oh Do pipe down.
(She abruptly get hit in the face by Bignose!. A fight breaks out, which eventually involves a few people in the area!)
MC: Oh come on...let's go to the stoning.
Brian: All right.
Brian notices a group of people in balck walking by him, including a rather attractive (to Brian) woman.!
Francis: Well. Blessed is just about everyone with a vested interest in the status quo as far as I can tell, Reg.
Reg: Yeah, well what Jesus blaitently fails to appreciate is it's the meek who are the problem.
Judith: Yes, yes. Absolutely Reg. Yes I see.
MC: Oh come on Brian:, or they'll have stoned him before we get there.
Brian: All right.
Trouble: Hey. Get off her. That's disgusting. Stop trying to do that. They shouldn't have been here. <...> going on. it's the chap with the big nose's fault... he started it all.
