Whimple: How much I prefer vegetables to human beings.

Stebbins: Don't you ever read the paper you work for?::Whimple: Read the Weekly Echo? That rag?

Station Announcer: [into PA] Will Mr. Thomas Jones and Mr. David Jones, J-O-N-E-S, from - [to Whimple] Where are they from? [takes Whimple's slip of paper with "Hafoduwchbenceubwllymarchogcoch" on it; speaks into PA] Would Mr. Thomas and Mr. David Jones, from... [looks at paper] Love a duck! [pause] Would Mr. Thomas and Mr. David Jones, from *Wales*, please call at the stationmaster's office on Platform 1.::[about 100 Welshmen converge on the stationmaster's office]

Editor: Well, now, we must just establish your identity.::David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: Identity?::Editor: Oh, purely a formality, of course.::David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: But I've never had to do that before. They all know me back home, see?::Whimple: But you must have an identity card, don't you?::David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: Well, it's behind the teapot at home, with my union card.

Jane: I've checked the photograph of that floozy. She's a pro all right - a con woman!::Whimple: Pro and con?::Jane: A professional confidence trickster. She specializes in provincials up for a spree.

David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: What's ten bob to a man with two hundred pounds? Chicken feed is ten bob!::Thomas 'Twm' Jones: Chicken feed is counted as well as chickens.

Editor: Good Heavens, female miners! Whatever will the Coal Board think of next?::David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: The young lady's not a miner, sir!::Jo: No, I was 22 last birthday.

Huw: This nose can smell the primrose in the spring or mutton chops cooking or the well-brushed hair of children in the park. It is filled with the savors of innocence... and memory. The motion of the waterfall and the little girl under the haystack and cowslips in the railway cuttings. I can smell out the corruption in a den of hypocrites, scoundrels, and dead souls. [Stroking his harp] Anyhow, it is mostly indigestion to what you're talking about.
