What are you wearing around your neck?
Ah, it's my new ruff!
You look like a bird who's swallowed a plate.
It's the latest fashion, actually, and as a matter of fact, it makes me look rather sexy!
To another plate-swallowing bird, perhaps. If it was blind and hadn't had it in months.
I think you may be wrong.
You're a sad, laughable figure, aren't you, Percy? Baldrick, what do you think of Percy's new ruff?
Four!
What?
Some beans and some beans is four beans.
No, now we've moved on from advanced mathematics, we're on to elementary dress-making. What do you think of Percy's new ruff?
I think he looks like a bird who's swallowed a plate, my Lord.
No, that's what I think. What do you think? Try to have a thought of your own, Baldrick; thinking is so important. What do you think?
I think thinking is so important, my Lord.
I give up! I'm off to see the Queen.
Should I come too?
No, best not. People might think we're friends. You stay here with Baldrick. Bird-Neck and Bird-Brain should get on like a house on fire.
