- 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. Best place for them - I might lose them in London.
- Editor: Ah. Heh.
- [pause]
- Editor: Edmund?
- Whimple: May I suggest, uh...
- [dialing gesture]
- Editor: Ah, exactly. Ring up the manager of the colliery. No doubt he can help us.
- Whimple: Excuse me, sir.
- [takes phone and dials 0]
- Whimple: Get, get me...
- [pause as he reads the place name again]
- Whimple: Heh heh, ummm, uh, H for hyacinth, A for azalea, F for fuschia...
- Editor: [taking the phone impatiently] Hafoduwchbenceubwllymarchogcoch 1!

- Jo: That's right. Never been further west than the West End.
- 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.
- David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: [Regarding the hat he will wear] Never mind about the size as long as it fits, man!
- David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: Is it far to St. Paul's? I've never been to a Cathedral before.
- Jo: Neither have I.
- David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: Oh, you Chapel too?
- Thomas 'Twm' Jones: What you going to do for a hat Dai?
- David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: Wear my best cap.
- [Uproar from his friends opposed to the idea]
- David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: I'll wear my trilby then.
- Bronwen: You can't go and get you prize money in that old thing Dai.
- Elderly Miner: What size do you take boy?
- David 'Dai Number 9' Jones: Well never mind about the size man, so long as it fits.
