The one and only python sketch that fits this description (apart from the
dialogue) is "Homicidal Barber" which appeared in Episode 9 of
the TV series.  However, that sketch does _not_ contain the phrase you are
interested in.

The only thing directly in common with this dialogue and "Homicidal
Barber" sketch is the phrase "played well".  Here's a snip
from that sketch from the archives of
http://www.montypythonpages.com/> :

   Tape Recorder: (snip, snip) Did you see the match last night, sir?

   Customer: Yes. Good game. I thought.

   Tape Recorder: (snip, snip, snip; sound of electric razor
   starting up) I thought Hurst played well sir.

   Customer: (straining to hear) I beg your pardon?

   Tape Recorder: (razor stops) I thought Hurst played well.

   Customer: Oh yes ... yes ... he was the only one who did though.

Someone may have mis-remembered this and confused it with something else.

The phrase "something for the weekend" is not in any of the Monty
Python's Flying Circus episodes or Python movies.  I am pretty certain of
this, since I searched for it on my local copies of the script files
(retrieved from Monty Python Pages; they should contain all sketches from
the TV show & films) and didn't find a match.  I did also a separate
search for the word 'weekend' and browsed through all the sections that
matched, but still didn't find anything resembling the phrase in question.
