Captain Kevin Darling, MC, Captain Edmund Blackadder, Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St. Barleigh, MC and Wing Commander The Lord Flashheart
[It is the next morning. Darling's office has been set out with chairs and
there is a blackboard with a chalk picture of a Sopwith Camel on it. BA and
George are in the front row of seats. There are three other trainees.
Darling is at his desk at the back.]
George Crikey! I'm looking forward to today. Up-diddly-up,
down-diddly-down, whoops-poop, twiddly-dee, a decent scrap
with the fiendish Red Baron, a bit of a jolly old crash
landing behind enemy lines, capture, torture, escape and
then back home in time for tea and medals.
BA George, who's using the family brain-cell at the moment?
This is just the beginning of the training. The beginning
of five long months of very clever, very dull men looking
at machinery.
[Flasheart is heard in the corridor.]
Flasheart Hey, girls! Look at my machinery!
[The sound of screaming women is heard from the corridor. Flasheart enters
Darling's office, zipping up his flys. He is carrying a stick. All present
rise to attention.]
Flasheart Enter a man who has no underwear. Ask me why.
All except BA Why do you have no underwear, Lord Flash?
Flasheart Because the pants haven't been built yet that'll take the
job on.
