Some quotes from the Blackadder series.

Blackaderr goes fourth, talking about Squadron Commander Flashheart.

"Most of the infantry think youre a prat. Ask them who theyd prefer to meet - Squadron commander Flashheart or the man who cleans the public toilets in Aberdeen and theyd go for Wee Jock Poo-Pong McPlop every time."

On concert parties:

"Id rather spend an evening on top of a stepladder in No Mans Land smoking endless cigarettes through a luminous balaclava."

On baldrick:

"Baldrick, in the Amazon rain forests there are tribes of indians as yet untouched by civilization who have developed a more convincing charlie chaplin impression than yours."

"Ive a horrid suspicion that baldricks plan will be the stupidest thing we've heard since Lord Nelsons famous signal at the battle of the Nile; 'everyone knows lady hamiltons a virgin, poke my eye out and cut off my arm if im wrong'."



Percy: "Couldnt you dip into the family fortune?"

Blackadder: "There isnt one. My father spent it all on wine, women and amatuer dramatics. At the end he was eking out a living doing humerous impressions of Anne of Cleves."

Percy: "Oh edmund, im sorry, i had no idea. But do not despair, for i have a small savigns, carefully harvested from my weekly allowance set against my frail old age. By lucky hap, its just over a thousand methinks, and has for years been hidden beyond the wit of any theif..."

Percy & Blackadder: "...in an old sock under the squeaky floorboard..."

Percy, Blackadder & Baldrick: "...Behind the kitchen dresser."

Percy: "Youve seen it?"

Blackadder: "Seen it, pinched it, spent it. And the same goes for the two farthings baldrick thinks hes got hidden inside that mouldy potato."

Baldrick: "Oh, bloody hell!"
