Few Clothes Johnson [Speaking to novice Italian miner Fausto]:
Now you want to stay alive down here, you listen up. Get ahold of something solid. And give the top a little poke. [Taps the ceiling with a pickaxe.] Now if you get a nice ringing sound, you're all set. Got a nice solid top over your head. But you get a kind of hollow sound, like a drum, that slate's sagging. Got to put in a another post.
Fausto:
You dig coals a long time?
Few Clothes Johnson:
I've been underground since I was ten. You?
Fausto:
We make-a shoe. Everybody in the same factory in Milano make shoe.
Few Clothes Johnson:
Shoes. [Taps ceiling again, a rock falls at their feet.] You make-a shoes.
