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! (edit) General Melchett: If there's one thing I've learnt in the army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh! (edit) 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? (edit) 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? (edit) 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! (edit)

Private Baldrick's failure to grasp the concept of I-Spy is a little similar to a scene in Season 3's 'Ink and Incapability,' where his Regency ancestor attempts to define words for Blackadder's attempt to rewrite the English dictionary. (edit)
