Can you name this movie

and give me another line from it in Attic Greek?
ἆρ’ οὐκ ἔστι τόδε γέλοιον;   ἆρ’ οὐκ ἔστι τὸ γελοῖον τὸ βέλτιον ἔχειν;   ἆρ’ οὐ βούλει σὲ ᾖς μέ;   βούλομαι σαφῶς τοῦτο.
...
πᾶς φιλοπότης οὐκ ἔστι μελοποιός.   τινὲς ἡμῶν πίνομεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐσμὲν μελοποιοί.

  1. I've been busting my head! It's Arthur!

    Isn't this fun? Isn't fun the best thing to have? Don't you wish you were me? I know I do.

    Everyone who drinks is not a poet. Maybe some of us drink because we're not poets.

    I thought μελοποιοί meant musicians :/ Still, I rule! :D Next please!

  3. I'd rather get a new one from you! But I can try if you want..Although it might sound more modern than ancient! I'm Greek, not Italian..
