Don Speekingleesh
(Jim Broadbent) The Infanta Maria Escalosa's incredibly annoying interpreter. Don Speekingleesh accompanied the Infanta at all times whilst in the Royal palace, and translates practically everything she says - even when she was making love to Baldrick (in the guise of Prince Edmund). ("The Queen of Spain's Beard")

Famous quotes containing the word don:
“If music in general is an imitation of history, opera in particular is an imitation of human willfulness; it is rooted in the fact that we not only have feelings but insist upon having them at whatever cost to ourselves.... The quality common to all the great operatic roles, e.g., Don Giovanni, Norma, Lucia, Tristan, Isolde, Brünnhilde, is that each of them is a passionate and willful state of being. In real life they would all be bores, even Don Giovanni.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
