"Err no tar Barbara, can't stand that shite."
"Would you like some Advocaat then?"
"Aye go on then....can you stick some lemonade in please Barbara"
B: I have done "C" Mr Blackadder, big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in "Longsidebovril wrote:Good. So we're well on the way, then. " `a'; impersonal pronoun;
doesn't really mean anything." Right! Next: `A'... `A-B'.
(Baldrick and Prince ponder over this)
B: Well, it's a buzzing thing, isn't it. "A buzzing thing."
E: Baldrick, I mean something that starts with `A-B'.
B: Honey? Honey starts with a bee.
G: He's right, you know, Blackadder. Honey does start a bee...and a flower too

Blackadder: Permission granted, Baldrick. As long as it isn't the one about where babies come from.
Baldrick: No. The thing is, the way I see it, these days there's a war on, right? And ages ago, there wasn't a war on, right? So, there must have been a moment when there not being a war on went away, and there being a war came along. So, what I want to know is how did we get from the one case of affairs to the other case of affairs?
Blackadder: Do you mean "How did the war start"?
Baldrick: Yeah.
George: The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire-building!
Blackadder: George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think we can be entirely absolved from blame on the imperialistic front.
George: Oh... Oh no, sir! Absolutely not! [quietly to Baldrick] Mad as a bicycle!
Baldrick: I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
Blackadder: I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot.
Baldrick: Nah, there was definitely an ostrich involved, sir.
Blackadder: Well, possibly. But the real reason for the whole thing was that it was too much effort not to have a war.
George: By Gum, this is interesting! I always loved history. The Battle of Hastings, Henry VIII and his six knives and all that!
Blackadder: You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent a war in Europe, two super blocs developed: us, the French and the Russians on one side; and the Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two vast, opposing armies, each acting as the other's deterrent. That way, there could never be a war.
Baldrick: Except, well, this is sort of a war, isn't it?
Blackadder: That's right. There was one tiny flaw in the plan.
George: Oh, what was that?
Blackadder: It was ********.
Baldrick: So the poor old ostrich died for nothing!
