Dai Bando
I was in school myself once, but no great one for knowledge.
Mr. Jonas

[angrily, shaking his cane]
Dai Bando

[taking Mr. Jonas' cane]

By its length, of course.
Dai Bando
And how would you measure a man who would use a stick on a boy one-third his size?
Cyfartha

Dai Bando
Now, you are good in the use of a stick, but boxing is my subject... according to the rules laid down by the good Marquis of Queensbury.
Cyfartha
God rest his soul!
[saluting]
Dai Bando
And happy I am to pass on my knowledge to you!
Dai Bando
Position again.
Dai Bando
Could I have your attention, boys and girls? I am not accustomed to speaking in public...
Cyfartha
Only public houses.
Dai Bando
But this - never use. It's against the rules. Break a man's nose. Now then - I'm afraid he will never make a boxer.
[backhands Mr. Jonas in the nose, sending him sprawling; turns to find Mr. Jonas collapsed against the wall, unconscious]
Cyfartha
No aptitude for knowledge.
