Percy: It will be a great day tomorrow for we nobles.
Prince Edmund: Well, not if we lose, Percy. If we lose, I'll be chopped to pieces. My arms will end up at Essex, my torso in Norfolk, and my genitalia stuck up in a tree somewhere in Rutland.
Blackadder:
[seeing Percy's abnormally wide new neckruff] You look like a bird who's swallowed a plate.
Percy: It's the latest fashion, actually. And as a matter of fact, it makes me look rather sexy!
Blackadder: To another plate-swallowing bird, perhaps. If it was
blind and hadn't had it in
months.
Percy: I think you may be wrong!
Blackadder: You're a sad, laughable figure, aren't you, Percy?
Blackadder: I've got a plan so cunning, you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel!
Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words "I have a cunning plan" marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
The Prince Regent:
[outraged] By thunder, here's a pretty game! You
will stay, sir, and do duty by your prince, or I shall--
Blackadder:
[bitingly] Or
what, you port-brained twerp?! I've been looking after you
all my life! Even when we were babies, I had to show you which bit of your mother was serving the drinks!
Blackadder: Yes, it's not the only thing around here that's "very small indeed". Your brain, for example. It's so minute, Baldrick, that if a hungry cannibal cracked your head open, there wouldn't be enough to cover a small water biscuit.
Blackadder: If you were to serve up one of your meals at Staff HQ, you'd be arrested for the greatest mass poisoning since
Lucretia Borgia invited 500 of her close friends for a wine and anthrax party!
Blackadder: Yes, in one short evening, I've become the most successful impresario since the manager of the Roman Colosseum thought of putting the Christians and the lions on the same bill.
Lieutenant George: Oh, sir, if we should happen to tread on a mine, what do we do?
Captain Blackadder: Well, normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump up 200 feet into the air and scatter yourself over a wide area.
