“Head” Play script “Head” (Setting: In the house of Edmund Blackadder. Edmund and Baldrick are counting beans…) EDMUND: Right Baldrick, let's try again shall we? This is called adding. If I have two beans, and then I add two more beans, what do I have? BALDRICK: Some beans. EDMUND: Yes...and no. Let's try again shall we? I have two beans, then I add two more beans. What does that make? BALDRICK: A very small casserole. EDMUND: Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this. Now try again. One, two, three, four. So how many are there? BALDRICK: Three EDMUND: What? BALDRICK: And that one. EDMUND: Three and that one. So if I add that one to the three what will I have? BALDRICK: Oh! Some beans. EDMUND: Yes. To you Baldrick, the renaissance was just something that happened to other people wasn't it? (Percy enters, wearing an enormous ruff.) PERCY: Edmund, Edmund, come quickly the queen wants to see you. EDMUND: What…? PERCY: I said "Edmund, Edmund, come quickly the queen wants to see-" EDMUND: Please let me finish. What, are you wearing round your neck? PERCY: Ah! It's my new ruff! EDMUND: You look like a bird who's swallowed a plate! PERCY: It's the latest fashion actually and as a matter of fact it makes me look rather sexy! EDMUND: To another plate swallowing bird perhaps. If it was blind and hadn't had it in months. MKTOC. The Workshop, Clickers Yard, Olney, Bucks. MK46 5DX 2 Tel: 01234 241357. Email: [email protected]. Web: www.mktoc.co.uk .
