E: BlackAdder (Edmund) G: George (Prince Regent) B: Baldrick M: Mossop (actor) K: Keanrick (actor) J: Dr. Johnson
Two actors have been hired to help George with his speech. They are very superstitious. K: Lead on, MacDuff. M: I shall, lest ye not continue your quotation and speak the name of the "Scottish Play". E: I assume that, by the Scottish Play, you mean MACBETH? M+K: AAARRRGGHH! (during speech, play "Patticake") Hot Potato, Orchestra Stalls, but Puck will make amends! (tweak each other's noses) E: What was that? M/K: Never speak that name. Always say "The Scottish Play"! E: So you want me to say the "Scottish Play"? M+K: Yes! E: And not "MACBETH"? M+K: AARRGGHH! Hot potato, Orchestra Stalls, but Puck will make ammends. (Their noses are getting very sore!)
Dr. Johnson has worked for ten years on his new Dictionary, and want's the Prince to be patron of it. BlackAdder is getting on his nerves E: I'm aniseptic, phrasmotic, even combunctuous to have caused you such perricombubulations J: (angrily) PERRICOMBUBULATIONS? E: Yes, have you not heard it? It's a common word down our way.
G: BLACKADDER? BLACKADDER!!! (George is in bed) E: Yes sir? G: What time is it? E: 3 o'clock in the afternoon sir. Why? G: Oh! Thank goodness for that, I thought I'd over-slept!
