Two Silly Bulls!

Prince: Two what?

Edmund: Two syllables.

Prince: Two silly bulls? I don't think so, Blackadder -- not in The Bible. I can remember a fatted calf, but, as I recall, that was quite a sensible animal. Oh, ah! It's it, um, er, Noah's Ark, with the, er, two pigs, two ants, and two silly bulls? Is that it?

Edmund: Two syll- A-bles.

Prince: What?

Edmund: Look, we're getting confused; let's start again, shall we?

Prince: No, let's not, Blackadder. I think the whole game's getting a bit sylla, to be honest.

Two Silly Bulls indeed! Love Hugh Laurie.
