Blackadder
Johnson:
(places two manuscripts on the table, but picks up the top one)Here it is, sir: the very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language.
Prince George:
Hmm.
Blackadder:
Every single one, sir?
Johnson:
(confidently) Every single word, sir!
Blackadder:
(to Prince) Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafribblarities.
Johnson:
What?
Blackadder:
Contrafribblarites, sir? It is a common word down our way.
Johnson:
Damn! (writes in the book)
Blackadder:
Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anus-peptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious to have caused you such pericombobulation.
Johnson:
What? What? WHAT?
