Blackadder, 'Mr. Hardwood and others in “Unfinished Business”

Sir, I come as emissary of the Prince of Wales with the most splendid news. He wants your daughter, Amy, for his wife.

Well, his wife can't have her! Outrageous, sir, to come here with such a suggestion! Leave now, sir, or I shall take off me belt, and by thunder, me trousers'll fall down!

No, sir, you misunderstand. The prince wants to marry your lovely daughter.

Oh! Can it be possibly true? Surely love has never crossed such boundaries of class?

What about you and Mum?

Well, yes, I grant thee, when I first met her, I was the farmer's son and she was just the lass who ate the dung, but that was an exception.

And Auntie Dot and Uncle Ted?

Yes, yes, alright, he was a pig poker and she was the Duchess of Argyle-

And Auntie Ruthie was a milkmaid and Uncle Isiah was-

The pope! Yes, alright! Don't argue! Suffice to say, if you marry, we need never be poor or hungry again. Sir, we accept.

Wonderful. So, obviously, you'll be wanted an enormous ceremony...What did you say?

Well, obviously, now we're marrying quality, we'll never be poor or hungry again.

Meaning that you're poor and hungry at the moment?

Oh yes. We've been living off lard butties for five years now. I'm so poor, I use my underpants for drying dishes!

So you're skint?

Aye.

Well, in that case, the wedding's off. Good day.

But what about George's lovey-wovey poems that won my hearty-wearty?

All writteny-witteny by me-we, I'm afraidy-waidy. Goodbye. [leaves]
