Episode Quotes |
| |
Blackadder: Ask any of the men who they would rather meet Captain Flashheart or the bloke who cleans out the lavatories in Aberdeen and they go for Wee Jock Po-Pong McPlop every time.
| Blackadder: (calling to leave a message for the Air Chief Commander) Message reads "Where are you, you bastard?"
| Blackadder: (to George) Shut up and never say anything again as long as you live.
| Lord Flashheart: Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why.
George: Why do you have no underwear, Lord Flash?
Lord Flashheart: Because the pants haven't been built yet that'll take the job on!
| Lord Flashheart: Just because I can give multiple orgasms to the furniture just by sitting, doesn't mean that I'm not sick of this damn war.
| Lord Flashheart: Okay chums, let's doooooo it. As the bishop said to the choirboys.
| Blackadder: Flashheart, this is Captain Darling.
Lord Flashheart: Captain Darling? Funny name for a guy isn't it? Last person I called "darling" was pregnant twenty seconds later.
| George: Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.
| Baron von Richthoven: Ah, and the Lord Flashheart. This is indeed an honour. Finally, the two greatest gentleman fliers in the world meet. Two men of honour, who have jousted together in the cloud-strewn glory of the skies, face to face at last. How often I have rehearsed this moment of destiny in my dreams. The panoply to encapsulate the unspoken nobility of a comradeship.
(Flashheart shoots von Richthoven)
Lord Flashheart: What a poof!
| Blackadder: George, who is using the family brain cell at the moment?
| Lord Flashheart: Woof!
Bob: Woof!
Blackadder: God, it's like Crufts in here.
| General Melchett: If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.
| Lord Flashheart: Mind if I use your phone? If word gets out I'm missing, five hundred girls will kill themselves. Hello? Cancel the state funeral, tell the king to stop blubbing, Flash is not dead! I simply ran out of juice! And before five hundred girls all go 'oh, what's the point in living any more?' I'm talking about petrol! Woof! Send someone along to pick me up. General Melchett's driver will do, she hangs round with a big knob so she'll be used to a fellow like me. Woof!
Blackadder: Look, do you think you could make your obscene phone call somewhere else?
Lord Flashheart: No, not in half an hour you rubber desk-Johnny! Send the bitch with the wheels right now or I'll fly back home and give your wife something to hang her towels on!
| Blackadder: For us, the Great War is finito, a war which would be a damn sight simpler if we just stayed in England and shot fifty thousand of our men a week.
| Lord Flashheart: Woof!
George: Woof!
Baldrick: Bark!
| Blackadder: A fate worse than a fate worse than death. That's pretty bad.
| Lord Flashheart: Always treat your kite like you treat your woman.
George: How do you mean, sir, do you mean take her home at the weekend to meet your mother?
Lord Flashheart: No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back!
