Let us discuss your inheritance.
Ah, yes, good. Um, a little drink first, perhaps?
Drink?! [slaps him twice on the cheek] Wicked child! Drink is urine for the last leper in Hell!
No, no, this is only water. This is a house of simple purity.
[The door behind Edmund opens, revealing one of the partygoers, Freddy Frobisher, who stumbles through the door, runs past Edmund and Lady Whiteadder and vomits loudly into the fireplace behind Percy]
[stumbles back to the door] Great booze-up, Edmund! [staggers out into the hallway, giving a loud cheer]
[Percy hides his face in his hand, the Whiteadders look on in silent dismay, and Blackadder stays completely still and silent]
Do you know that man?
[quickly] No.
He called you 'Edmund'.
Oh, know him? Oh yes, I do.
Then can you explain what he meant by "great booze-up"?
[thinks for nearly a whole minute. Haltingly] Yes, I can. My friend is a missionary, and on his last visit abroad, brought back with him the chief of a famous tribe. His name is Great Boo. He's been suffering from sleeping sickness, and he's obviously just woken. Because, as you heard, Great Boo's up.
Well done, Edmund.
And I think I might just go and visit him. Percy, over to you.
