[Blackadder notices Percy and Baldrick giggling]

Blackadder:
What is so funny?

Percy:
Well, my lord... while Baldrick and I were preparing the t-turnip surprise... we had a surprise! We came across a turnip... that was exactly the same shape... as a 'thingy'!

Blackadder:
[long pause]... A 'thingy'?!

Baldrick:
A great big 'thingy'! It was terrific!

Blackadder:
Size is no guarantee of quality, Baldrick. Most horses are very well-endowed, but that does not necessarily make them sensitive lovers. I trust you have removed this hilarious item?

Baldrick:
Oh- yes, my Lord.

Blackadder:
Good, because there's nothing more likely to stop an inheritance than a 'thingy'-shaped turnip!

Percy:
Absolutely, Edmund... [looks serious for a moment, then breaks into giggles again] But it was jolly funny!!

Baldrick:
I found it particularly ironic, my Lord, 'cause I've got a 'thingy' that's shaped like a turnip!

Blackadder:
[dismissively] Yes, yes...

Baldrick:
I'm quite fun at parties.

Blackadder:
Are you?

Baldrick:
Yeah, I hide in the vegetable rack and frighten the children!

Blackadder:
[crossly] What fun!
