Ah, Melchett! Greetings! I trust Christmas brings you its traditional mix of good food and violent stomach cramp.
And compliments of the season to you, Blackadder. May the Yuletide log slip from your fire and burn your house down.
I'm glad I saw you; I feel it only fair to warn you that the Queen has banned Christmas. So I wouldn't get her a present this year.
Oh, I'm indebted to you for that advice, Blackadder, and I shall, of course, follow it to the letter...[under his breath as he walks away] the day I get my brain replaced by a cauliflower.

I can't see any subtle plan.
Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle Plans are Here Again!". It what we call a double bluff. Melchett will undoubtedly do the opposite of what I tell him. He'll go get an enormous present, bring it to the Queen, and [makes throat cutting motion and sound]
What, he'll turn into a duck?
Yes...
