Episode Quotes |
| |
Mrs. Miggins: Bonjour, Monsieur.
Blackadder: What?
Mrs. Miggins: Bonjour, Monsieur. It's French.
Blackadder: So is eating frogs, cruelty to geese and urinating in the streets.
| Blackadder: What has this fellow done, apart from pop over to France to grab a few French knobs from the ineffectual clutches of some malnourished whinging lefties, taking the opportunity while there, no doubt, to pick up some really good cheap wine and some of their marvellous open fruit flans. Does anyone know, we hate the French; we fight wars against the 'em!? Did all those men die in vain on the field of Agincourt? Was the man who burnt Joan of Arc simply wasting good matches?
| Baldrick: I couldn't sleep when I was little.
Blackadder: You still are little, Baldrick.
Baldrick: Yeah, well, when I was even littler, see, we used to live in this haunted hovel. Every night, my family were troubled by a visitation from this disgusting ghoul. It was terrible. First there was this unholy smell, then this tiny, clammy, hairy creature would materialise in the bed between them. Fortunately, I could never see it myself.
Blackadder: Yes…Tell me, Baldrick: when you left home, did this repulsive entity mysteriously disappear?
Baldrick: That very day…
| Prince George: I say, Blackadder, do you think he really was the Scarlet Pimpernel?
Blackadder: Well, judging from the ridiculous ostentatiousness of his death, I would that say he was.
Prince George: Well, then, that's a damn shame, because I wanted to give him this enormous postal order.
Blackadder: Please, sir, let me finish. I would say that he was…n't.
| Blackadder: Do you speak English?
Comte de Frou-Frou: A little…
Blackadder: Yes, when you say "a little," what exactly do you mean? I mean, can we talk, or are we going to spend the rest of the afternoon asking each other the way to the beach in very loud voices?
Comte de Frou-Frou: Ah, no. I can, er, order coffee, deal with waiters, make sexy chit-chat with girls — that type of thing.
Blackadder: Oh good.
Comte de Frou-Frou: Just don't ask me to take a physiology class or direct a light opera.
