• [Blackadder has just unwittingly slammed the door in the faces of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert] 

  Ebeneezer Blackadder : I am not at home to guests!

  Prince Albert : I flatter myzelf ve are llather special guests, sir.

  Ebeneezer Blackadder : Oh, of course, I must apologize! It isn't often that one receives a Christmas visit from two such distinguished guests.

  Prince Albert : Ah, zo you llecognize us at last!

  Ebeneezer Blackadder : Yes! Unless I'm very much mistaken, you're the winner of the 'Round Britain Shortest Fattest Dumpiest Woman Competition. And for her to be accompanied by the winner of this year's Stupidest Accent Award is really quite overwhelming.

• Ebenezer Blackadder : Cork it, fatso! Don't you realise that this is the Victorian Age, where apart from Queen Piglet-Features herself, women and children are to be seen and not heard!

  Prince Albert : Queen Piglet-Features!

  Ebenezer Blackadder : Yes! "Empress Oink," us lads call her. The only person in the kingdom who looks dafter than her is that stupid Frankfurter of a husband. "The Pig and the Prig," we call them. How they ever managed to produce their one hundred and twelve children is quite beyond me. The bed-chambers of Buckingham Palace must be copiously supplied with blindfolds!
