Quotes 

• Nurse Mary : [in bed together, Nurse Mary is asking Blackadder whether he has a girl back home in England]  And no casual girlfriends?

  Captain Blackadder : Skirt? Ha! If only. When I joined up we were still fighting colonial wars. If you saw someone in a skirt you shot him and nicked his country.

• [Blackadder thinks Nurse Mary is a German spy] 

  Captain Blackadder : And then the final, irrefutable proof. Remember, you mentioned a clever boyfriend...

  Nurse Mary : Yes.

  Captain Blackadder : I then leapt on the opportunity to test you. I asked if he'd been to one of the great universities, Oxford, Cambridge, or Hull.

  Nurse Mary : Well?

  Captain Blackadder : You failed to spot that only two of those are great Universities.

  Nurse Mary : Swine!

  General Melchett : That's right! Oxford's a complete dump!

• Nurse Mary : When this war is over, do you think we might get to know each other a little better?

  Captain Blackadder : Yes, why not? When this madness has finished, perhaps we could go cycling together. Take a trip down to the old Swan at Henley and go for a walk in the woods.

  Nurse Mary : Yes. Or we could just do it right now on the desk.

  Captain Blackadder : Yeah, OK.

• Nurse Mary : Cigarette?

  Captain Blackadder : No thank you, I only smoke cigarettes after making love. So back in England I'm a twenty-a-day man.
