Blackadder Quote
Blackadder: How are we getting on?
Lady Whiteadder: Not good. Let us discuss your inheritance.
Blackadder: Oh good. Drink, first?
Lady Whiteadder: Drink!? [slaps him twice] Wicked child! Drink is urine from the last leper in Hell!
Blackadder: This is only water. This is a house of simple purity.
[A drunken Monk bursts into Blackadder's Puritan dinner, vomits in the fireplace and staggers out]
Monk: GREAT BOOZE-UP, EDMUND! [There is an awkward silence]
Lady Whiteadder: Do you know that man?
Blackadder: [looking behind him for another man] No.
Lady Whiteadder: He called you Edmund.
Blackadder: Oh, know him! Oh yes, I do.
Lady Whiteadder: Then can you explain what he meant by "Great booze-up?"
[Very long pause, as Blackadder thinks]
Blackadder: [haltingly] Yes, I can. My friend is a missionary... And on his last visit abroad... Brought back with him the chief of a famous tribe... His name is Great Bu... He's been suffering from sleeping sickness... And he's obviously just woken... Because, as you heard, "Great Bu's up."
Percy: [almost suffocating from holding his breath] Well done, Edmund.
Blackadder: [getting up] And I think I'd better go and visit him. Perce, over to you.
