[Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Ei gude wie! Isch hock misch mo zu der. Isch bin de Bodo. [Arthur, tenor voice, slightly confused Englishman]: Oh, hello! Please do. I'm Arthur. My German is not so good yet, but I understand a little. You said... "How good, how?" [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Unn? Was machste hier so allaan? Wartschd uff ebber? [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: I'm sorry... "Unn"? Is that a question? What am I doing here? Well, I'm... on holiday. And I'm not waiting for an "Ebber", no. Is that a local dish? (*hahaha*) [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Aach, du bischd jo en goldische! Nee, en Ebber is ken Gemies! Isch hab gedenkt, du bischd en Labbeduddel, weil de so allaan do hoggsch. [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: A "Labbe-Duddel"? That sounds... rather unpleasant. Like a wet noodle? I assure you, I am quite firm. Just enjoying the... ambience. [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Babbel net, petz mo aan! Des is en Stöffche, da laaft der de Brieh die Stern enunnee! [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: "Don't babble, stroke one"? And... "the broth runs down the star"? Is this some sort of philosophical poetry? I must say, German is a very profound language. Good heavens! This is... "babbisch"! [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Siehste! Unn? Schmeggds? Odder guckschde wie en Ochs, wenn's donnert? [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: I look like an ox when it thunders? My goodness. Does it happen often to people? This "Stöffche" is quite... assertive. It certainly makes you not feel "under the weather". [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Klaa, des is Stöffche for Kerle! Net for so Haanebambel! Was hättan da de Babba da? Is des Tee? [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: My father? He's in Brighton. And no, this is not tea, it's my phone. Why do you ask about my father? "What helds the father in the hand?" Is that a riddle? [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Aasch glaab, s'gehd lous! Du hoschd jo en ordentliche Durschanner! Isch meen doch dich! [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: "I believe it goes loose"? Are you feeling alright? And now I have a "neat through-one-another"? Is that a compliment? Perhaps like "the best thing since sliced bread"? [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Ach, geh fort! Isch glaab, isch werd rammdösisch. Der Käs iss gesse. [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: Go away? But you just arrived! And you are becoming "ram-dizzy"? And now the cheese is eaten? We haven't ordered any food! This is all very confusing. Perhaps you are a bit of a "Hannebambel" yourself? [Bodo, hearty, in thick Hessian dialect]: Du ahle Babbsagg! Du gefällsch mer! Bleib hocke. Isch geb der noch aan aus. Der Owend werd noch lusdisch! [Arthur, polite, slightly confused Englishman]: An "old sticky-bag"? Well, as long as you are buying, my dear Bodo.
