“Thanks, I shall go to a better barber when my head is in good shape.”
“Ha, ha, ha, this zig-zag thing has got a tongue to talk with to be sure.”
“Poor in work, but quite up in boozing, that is what you are, arn’t you?”
“Poor in work? Say it again....”

“Humph, the idea! Isn’t that so Danna?”
“Ya—eh?”
