Alex Norton: McAngus, Duke of Argyll

Quotes 

• Prince Edmund : [attempting to prove that Harry isn't really the King's son]  These letters are dated November and December 1460. Which, Harry, in relation to your date of birth is precisely nine months...

  Harry : AFTER I was born!

  [Edmund looks horrified] 

  McAngus : But about nine months before your birth, Edmund!

  Prince Edmund : Ohh... you bastard!

  Harry : No, I think that you're the bastard, Edmund.

• [Edmund has unwillingly given up his lands in Scotland to McAngus] 

  McAngus : Hey, I hope life doesn't become dull for you not being able to pass laws over Scotland.

  [Edmund laughs nervously and turns away from the violent Scotsman] 

  Prince Edmund : [under his breath]  I wouldn't pass water over Scotland.

• Prince Edmund : You come in here! Fresh from slaughtering a couple of choccos when their backs were turned! And you think you can upset that harmony of a whole kingdom? I challenge you to a duel!

  McAngus : TO THE DEATH!

  Prince Edmund : [meekly]  Uhm... yes, all right.
