The Black Adder1982
Prince Edmund:
Scotsmen are barbarians! Half of them don't even speak English!
Percy:
Well, what do they speak?
Prince Edmund:
Oh, I don't know. It's all Greek to me!
Percy:
They speak Greek?
Prince Edmund:
No, I mean it SOUNDS like Greek.
Percy:
Well, if it sounds like Greek, it probably IS Greek.
Prince Edmund:
It's not Greek!
Percy:
But it sounds LIKE Greek..."What's not Greek, but sounds like Greek?" Hm, that's a good one, my lord!
Prince Edmund:
Look, it's not meant to be a BRAIN-TEASER, Percy! I'm simply trying to tell you that I cannot understand a blind word they're saying.
Percy:
Well, no wonder, my lord. You never learned Greek, of course.
