      Blackadder: [rewriting the dictionary] Baldrick, what have you done?
      Baldrick: I've done "C" and "D."
      Blackadder: Right. Let's have it, then.
      Baldrick: Right. "Big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in."
      Blackadder: What's that?
      Baldrick: "C."
      Blackadder: Yes. Tiny misunderstanding. Still, my hopes weren't high. Oh, and "D?"

      Baldrick: "Not a cat."
