I must say, Edmund, it does look a teeny bit like trying to get out of it.
Quite the wrong impression, ma'am. I just want to make it another night, that's all.
Certainly not!
I beg your pardon?
Well, it's just one excuse after another, isn't it? Next he'll be trying to get out of having his bath altogether.
He isn't talking about baths, Nursie.
Well, he should be. How else is he gonna keep clean? Soon, he'll be saying he doesn't want to have his nappy changed.
Lord Blackadder doesn't wear a nappy.
Well, in that case, it's even more important that he has a bath.
Shut up, Nursie! [to Blackadder] I know why you want to get out of it, because I remember the last time you had a party. I found you face-down in a puddle wearing a pointy hat and singing a song about goblins!
[giving in] Yes, alright! Tonight it is!
[smiles] Oh, Edmund, I do love it when you get cross. Sometimes I think about having you executed just to see the expression on your face.
