Blackadder:
It is said, Percy, that civilised man seeks out good and intelligent company, so that through learned discourse he may rise above the savage and closer to God.

Percy:
Yes, I've heard that.

Blackadder:
Personally, however, I like to start the day with a total dickhead to remind me I'm best!

Percy:
Beshrew me, Blackadder! You're in good fooling this morning!

Blackadder:
Don't say 'Beshrew me', Percy. Only stupid actors say 'Beshrew me'.

Percy:
Oh, how I would love to be an actor! I had a great talent for it in my youth; I was the Man of a Thousand Faces!

Blackadder:
How'd you come to choose the ugly mug you've got now, then?

Percy:
[laughs] Tush, my lord!

Blackadder:
And don't say 'Tush', either! It's only a short step from 'Tush' to 'Hey nonny nonny', and then I'm afraid I shall have to call the police!
