Keanrick: We were exorcizing evil spirits. Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theater tradition that one does never speak the name of the "Scottish Play".
Edmund: What, Macbeth?
Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Ohhh!
Edmund: Good lord, you mean you have to do that every time I say Macbeth?
Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Aaahh!
Mossop: Will you please stop saying that! Always call it the Scottish Play.
Edmund: So you want me to say the "Scottish Play"?
Actors: YES!!!
Edmund: Rather than Macbeth?
Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Aahhhhh!
Prince George: For heaven's sake, what is all this hullabaloo, all this shouting and screaming and yelling blue murder? Why... it's like that play we saw the other day, what was it called... umm..
Edmund: Macbeth, sir?
Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Aahhhhh!
Edmund: You should have knocked.
Keanrick: Our knocks, impertinent butler, were loud enough to wake the hounds of hell!
Keanrick: Lead on, McDuff.
Mossop: I shall...
Mossop: ..lest you continue in your quotations and mention the name of the "Scottish Play".
Keanrick: Oh-ho... never fear, I shan't do that.
Edmund: By the "Scottish Play", I assume you mean Macbeth.
Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Aaahh!
Edmund: What was that?
