The bit in Blackadder about the rabbit, which Kate spectacularly failed to remember. It's the First World War. Lieutenant George St Barleigh's commanding officer and kind-of friend has been captured behind enemy lines. George wants to mount a rescue attempt. General Melchett doesn't think there's any point...
MELCHETT: Now, George. Do you remember when I came down to visit you when you were a nipper for your sixth birthday? You used to have a lovely little rabbit. Beautiful little thing. Do you remember?
GEORGE: Flossy.
MELCHETT: That’s right. Flossy. Do you remember what happened to Flossy?
GEORGE: You shot him.
MELCHETT: That’s right. It was the kindest thing to do after he’d been run over by that car.
GEORGE: By your car, Sir.
MELCHETT: Yes, by my car. But that too was an act of mercy when you would remember that that dog had been set on him.
GEORGE: Your dog, Sir.
MELCHETT: Yes, yes, my dog. But what I’m trying to say, George, is that the state young Flossy was in after we’d scraped him off my front tyre is very much the state that young Blackadder will be in now. If not very nearly dead, then very actually dead.
GEORGE: Permission for lip to wobble, Sir?
MELCHETT: Permission granted.
George's bottom lip wobbles. Melchett slaps him on the shoulder
MELCHETT: Stout fellow.
