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?
