Separated by a Common Language?

[Undertoad]

Surely the best Blackadder episode is the third season one where Baldrick accidentally burns Johnson's Dictionary and they decide to write a new one.

E: Very well, sir, as you wish. Let's start at the beginning, shall we?
First: `A'. How would you define `a'?

B: Ohh...`a' (continues this in background)

G: Oh, I love this! I love this: quizzies...Errmmm, hang on, it's coming...
ooohh, crikey, errmm, oh yes, I've got it!

E: What?

G: Well, it doesn't really mean anything, does it?

E: Good. So we're well on the way, then. " `a'; impersonal pronoun;
doesn't really mean anything." Right! Next: `A'... `A-B'.

(Baldrick and Prince ponder over this)

B: Well, it's a buzzing thing, isn't it. "A buzzing thing."

E: Baldrick, I mean something that starts with `A-B'.

B: Honey? Honey starts with a bee.

G: He's right, you know, Blackadder. Honey does start a bee...and a flower,
too.

E: Yes, look, this really isn't getting anywhere. And besides, I've left out
`aardvark'.

G: Oh well, don't say we didn't give it a try.

E: No, Your Highness, it was a brave start, but I fear I must proceed on my
own. Now; Baldrick, go to the kitchen and make me something quick and sim-
ple to eat, would you? Two slices of bread with something in between.

B: What, like Gerald, Lord Sandwich, had the other day?

E: Yes -- a few rounds of Geralders.
