Blackadder Quote
[Blackadder has just explained his plan to get Baldrick to pretend to be Lord Farrow in order to speak to his widow]
Blackadder: Right, Baldrick, is that all clear?
Baldrick: Yes, erm... I've killed someone I shouldn't have killed, and now you want me to put a lady on my head and talk to his old bag!
Blackadder: [exasperated] No, I want you to put a bag on your head and talk to his old lady.
Baldrick: ... Why? Why do I want a bag on my head?
Blackadder: In order, nincompoop, that she should believe that you're her husband.
Baldrick: Why, did he used to wear a bag on his head?
Ploppy the Jailer: Young Ploppy here has a point, My Lord. Lord Farrow never wore a bag. He was an old fashioned sort of gent!
Blackadder: Look--
Percy: Well, yes, My Lord. I mean, I hadn't meant to mention it, but I have been wondering all along why you should think Baldrick with a bag on his head is going to be a dead ringer for Lord Farrow, because he's not!
Blackadder: Look, cretins, the bag is there in order to obscure Baldrick's own features, and many might think, incidentally, that that would be reason enough for him to wear it!
Blackadder: Right, Baldrick, is that all clear?
Baldrick: Yes, erm... I've killed someone I shouldn't have killed, and now you want me to put a lady on my head and talk to his old bag!
