Prince George wants to prove to everyone that he's brilliant, and so he wants to patronise and befriend Dr. Samuel Johnson: the author of the most famous dictionary of the era. Blackadder is against the idea and tries to sabotage the affair; that is until he learns he could benefit from it!

Episode Quotes |
| |
Baldrick: So you're asking where the big papery thing tied up with string, belonging to the baity fellow in the black coat who just left, is?
Blackadder: Yes, Baldrick, I am. And if you don't answer, then the booted bony thing with five toes on the end of my leg will soon connect sharply with the soft dangly collection of objects in your trousers.
| Prince George: The most extraordinary thing happened. Last night I was having a bit of a snack at the naughty Hellfire Club, and some fellow said that I had the wit and sophistication of a donkey.
Blackadder: Oh, an absurd suggestion, sir.
Prince George: You're right, it is absurd.
Blackadder: Unless, of course, it was a particularly stupid donkey.
Prince George: See, if only I'd thought of saying that.
| Prince George: Well, yes, you see, only the other day, Prime Minister Pitt called me an 'idle scrounger', and it wasn't until ages later that I thought how clever it would've been to have said, 'Oh, bugger off, you old fart!'
| Blackadder: Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you into long strips and telling the Prince you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?
| Prince George: Now I've got my lovely fire, I'm as happy as a Frenchman who's invented a pair of self-removing trousers.
| Blackadder: Baldrick, believe me, eternity in the company of Beelzebub, and all his hellish instruments of death, will be a picnic compared to five minutes with me, and this pencil . . .
