Blackadder: I then leapt on the opportunity to test you. I asked if he'd been to one of the great universities: Oxford, Cambridge, or Hull.
Nurse Fletcher-Brown: Well?
Blackadder: You failed to spot that only two of those are great universities!
Nurse Fletcher-Brown: You swine!
Melchett: That's right! Oxford's a complete dump!
-
General Melchett: If there's one thing I've learnt in the army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh!
-
Darling: Look, I'm as British as Queen Victoria.
Blackadder: (furiously) So your father's German, you're half German and you married a German?
Darling:(crying) No! No! Look, for God's sake, I'm not a German spy!
Blackadder: (calmly; politely) Good. Thanks very much. Send in the next man, would you?
-
Blackadder: What is the colour of the Queen of England's favourite hat?
Darling: How the hell should I know?!
Blackadder: (completely deadpan) I see…Well, let me ask you another question. What is the name of the German head of state?
Darling: Well, Kaiser Wilhelm, obviously.
Blackadder: (furiously) So you're on first name terms with the kaiser, are you?
-
Nurse Mary: Ah, Captain. I hope you're going to conduct yourself with a little more decorum this time.
Blackadder: No, I'm going to conduct myself with no decorum. Shove off!
-
General Melchett: You look surprised, Blackadder.
Blackadder: I certainly am, sir. I didn't realise we had any battle plans.
General Melchett: Well, of course we have! How else do you think the battles are directed?
Blackadder: Our battles are directed, sir?
General Melchett: Well, of course they are, Blackadder, directed according to the Grand Plan.
Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except Field Marshal Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?
General Melchett: Great Scott! Even you know it!
-
Blackadder: I lost closer friends than "darling Georgie" the last time I was deloused.
-
Blackadder: (about George) Alright. Where is the malingering git?
-
Blackadder: I spy with my bored little eye something beginning with "T".
Baldrick: Breakfast.
Blackadder: > What??
Baldrick: My breakfast always begins with tea. Then I have a little sausage, then a egg with some little soldiers.
Blackadder: Baldrick, when I said it begins with "T", I was talking about a letter.
Baldrick: Nah - it never begins with a letter. The postman doesn't come till 10.30.
Blackadder: I can't go on with this. George, take over.
George: All right, sir. Umm… I spy with my little eye something beginning with "R"
Baldrick: Army.
Blackadder: For God's sake, Baldrick. Army starts with an "A". He's looking for something that starts with an "R". Rrrrrrr.
Baldrick: Motorbike
Blackadder: What?
Baldrick: Well, a motorbike starts with an rrrrm rrrrm rrrrm.
Blackadder: Right, right, right. My turn again. What begins with "Come here" and ends in "Ow"?
Baldrick: I don't know.
Blackadder: Come here.
(Blackadder punches Baldrick in the face)
Baldrick: Ow!
-
Nurse Mary: When this war is over, do you think we might get to know each other a little better?
Blackadder: Yes, why not? When this madness has finished, perhaps we could go cycling together. Take a trip down to the old Swan at Henley and go for a walk in the woods.
Nurse Mary: Yes. Or we could just do it right now on the desk.
Blackadder: Yeah, okay.
-
Darling: You'll regret this Blackadder. You'd better find the real spy or I'll make it very hard for you.
Blackadder: Please, Darling. There are ladies present.
-
George: Smithy, you haven't seen any suspicious characters hanging around have you, who might be German spies?
Brigadier Smith: Nein.
George: Nine! Well, the Cap's got his work cut out, then.
-
George: I hear with my little ear, something beginning with B.
Blackadder: What?
George: Bomb.
Blackadder: I can't hear a bomb.
George: Listen very carefully.
Blackadder: Oh, yes.
(room explodes)
-
Capt. Blackadder: Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Capt. Darling: Security, Blackadder.
Capt. Blackadder: Security?
Gen. Melchett: "Security" isn't a dirty word, Blackadder. "Crevice" is a dirty word, but "security" isn't.
Capt. Blackadder: So in the name of security, sir, everyone who enters the room has to have his bottom fondled by (indicating Capt. Darling) this drooling pervert.
Capt. Darling: I'm only doing my job Blackadder.
Capt. Blackadder: Oh, well, how lucky you are then that your job is also your hobby.
Gen. Melchett: Now there's another dirty word, "Job".
