BW : Davy, y'oul bollix! How're ye hangin'?
DS : To the knees, Bill, as ever!
BW : Y'are, so! Jayz, but thon's a great headband you've on you!
DS : Thanks there, Bill. I always like to throw a bit of drapery roun' the head. I feel naked w'out an oul' duster, or a piece of curtain or a clipe o' me ma's apron, or something wrapped roun' th'oul' napper!
BW : Well, whatever. Suits you till a T, so it does! Here, d'ye fancy a wee child's leg? (Offers a cigarette.)
DS : Don't mind if I do, there!
BW : Y'up till anything music-wise, there?
DS : Funny enough, I'm jist puttin' the finishin' touches till an oul' concept thing.
BW : G'way! What's the crack?
DS : It's an attempt to set oul Englishy, Saxon-like folk-tales till Irish rebel music.
BW : God alive! Thon sounds great! You're the powerful man for the concepts, Davy!
DS : I've a great band working with me on it.
BW : What are they called?
DS : The Beowulf Tones. (Takes deep drag on child's leg ...) Y'up till anything much yourself?
BW : I've a wee project I was working on.
DS : Aye?
BW : I was goin' to get 4 Men And A Dog back together again ... on ice!
DS : On ice?
BW : Aye! But you know me, Davy. Always one for the big spectacle, so I wanted to get the numbers up. So I was working on the 104 Men And A Dog concept!
DS : Jayz!
BW : Well 3 ordinary-sized men, a dog and 101 Ginos to be precise! But could I get ice thick enough till houl' them?
DS : Did you try?
BW : I did in sowl! Why do you think thon ice shelf broke away in th'Antarctic?
DS : G'way!
BW : They all got a wee bit excited at the start of The Kilfenora Jig and stompin' and leppin' about ... next thing they're floatin' up the Gulf Stream t'wards Inisheer!
Voice From The Shadows : Did you find anybody to play the dog?
BW : Who's that?
VFTS : Never mind! Just answer the fockin' question!
BW : Well, no as it happens! Had you anybody in mind?
VFTS reveals itself to be Michael Flatley : Aye ... thon flat-footed harpie Jean Butler!
