Melchett has a plan to quash the wave of Bolshevism flooding Europe and the army: a concert party! Blackadder is at first repulsed by the idea; that is, until he hears that – if successful – it will be taken to the London Palladium, at which time, he's leaping at the opportunity to direct it.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Blackadder: Baldrick, he wants to marry the fair Georgina. Not a two legged badger wrapped in a curtain.
| Blackadder: The point is that, now that the Russians have made peace with the Kaiser, at this very moment, over three-quarters of a million Germans are leaving the Russian front and coming over here with the express purpose of using my nipples for target practice. There's only one thing for it: I'm going to have to desert, and I'm going to do it right now.
(As he reaches the door, General Melchett enters)
General Melchett: Are you leaving us, Blackadder?
Blackadder: No, sir.
General Melchett: Well, I'm relieved to hear it, because I need you to help me shoot some deserters later on.
| Bob: I want to see how a war is fought, so badly.
Blackadder: Well, you've come to the right place, Bob. A war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, high chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside.
| Blackadder: Yes... take down a telegram, Bob. To Mr. Charlie Chaplin, Sennett Studios, Hollywood, California. Congrats stop. Have found only person in world less funny than you stop. Name Baldrick stop. Signed E. Blackadder stop. Oh, and put a P.S.: please, please, please stop.
| Blackadder: We're in the stickiest situation since Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun.
| Darling: We received a telegram from Mr Chaplin himself at Sennett Studios: Twice nightly filming of my films in trenches: excellent idea stop. But must insist that E. Blackadder be projectionist stop. P.S. Don't let him ever...stop.
| Blackadder: That is the worst idea in the history of entertainment since Abraham Lincoln said, "I'm sick of kicking around the house all day, let's go take in a show."
| Blackadder: (to Bob) You're a girl with as much talent for disguise as a giraffe in dark glasses trying to get into a polar bears only golf club.
