"All this fuss over what? Is it a hill, is it a mountain? Perhaps it wouldn't matter anywhere else, but this is Wales. The Egyptians built pyramids, the Greeks built temples, but we did none of that, because we had mountains. Yes, the Welsh were created by mountains: where the mountain starts, there starts Wales. If this isn't a mountain—well, if this isn't a mountain, then Anson might just as well redraw the border and put us all in England, God forbid."
"Well I don't know the English word, but in Welsh we call it a be'chi'ngalw."
"Stop actin' so English!"
"In France, we dug trenches ten miles long. We took earth from here and made hills there. We moved entire fields. You wouldn't believe what we did. It's possible. It's just hard work."
