[A while later; Edmund now has some bright green fabric draped off his shoulders]
Right, perfect. Now all you need to do is practice with Percy.
[shocked] Practice what?
Presentation, my lord!
Oh, I see.
[moving Percy] You stand over here, and, my lord, just there. Right; now, Percy, Lord Edmund is going to try and make himself attractive to you.
Attractive?
You know, like the Earl of Doncaster.
Good lord! Well, er, fair enough. [waves seductively at Edmund]
No, you act normal! I'm the Earl of Doncaster!
[remembers] Oh, I see.
It's me...Right.
Right. [holds his arm between them, rather like the referee of a boxing match] Go! [stands aside]
[Edmund makes funny faces, not seductive at all]
Oh my God, this is impossible! I can't do this!
Never mind. I've a couple more things that might help. [exits]
Percy, Percy, what am I going to do?
Well, perhaps we could try and strike up a conversation.
Ah, right. Erm...
[in a high-pitched, not falsetto, voice] Hello there!
[in his normal voice] Er, hello. How are you?
I'm fine. Have you heard? Prince Edmund's going to marry the Spanish Infanta.
No, he damned well isn't!!! [attacking Percy] And anyone who marries the Infanta will get creamed! Do you hear me?
[Percy falls to the floor on his hands and knees. Edmund comes up behind him, grabbing Percy's neck. Baldrick enters, carrying some more effeminate clothing, and sees them in this position]
[smiling] Yes, that's the kind of thing!
[Edmund quickly stands up]
