Black Adder the Third1987

Mossop:
...Lest you continue in your quotation and mention the name of the Scottish Play.

Keanrick:
Oh, never fear, I shan't do that.

Blackadder:
By "the Scottish Play," I assume you mean Macbeth?

Mossop, Keanrick:
Aaah! [Playing patty-cake] Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends! [They each tweak the other's nose] Ah.

Blackadder:
What was that?

Keanrick:
We were exorcising evil spirits. Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theatre tradition that one does *never* speak the name of the Scottish Play.

Blackadder:
What, Macbeth?

Mossop, Keanrick:
Aaah! [Playing patty-cake] Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends! [They each tweak the other's nose] Ooh.

Blackadder:
Good Lord, you mean you have to do that every time I say Macbeth?

Mossop, Keanrick:
Aaah! [Playing patty-cake] Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends! [They each tweak the other's nose] Owww.

Mossop:
Will you please stop saying that? Always call it the Scottish Play!

Blackadder:
So you want me to say "the Scottish Play"...

Mossop, Keanrick:
[shouting] Yes!

Blackadder:
...rather than Macbeth.

Mossop, Keanrick:
Aaah! [Playing patty-cake] Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends! [They each tweak the other's nose] Owww.

Prince George:
I say, what is all this hullaballoo, all this shouting and screaming and yelling blue murder? Why, it's like that play we saw the other day. What was it called, uh...?

Blackadder:
Macbeth, sir?

Mossop, Keanrick:
Aaah! [Playing patty-cake with themselves] Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends! [as they are still bowing to the prince, each tweaks his own nose] Ah.

Prince George:
No, no, no, no, it was called Julius Caesar.

Blackadder:
Oh, yes, of course. Julius Caesar. Not Macbeth.

Mossop, Keanrick:
Aaah! [Playing patty-cake] Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends! [They each tweak the other's nose] Ah.
