TT Thomas Twp Too
[Anson and Garrad have explained they must go and calculate the height.]
And how d'you know later?
Well, w-we've made, um, we've made measurements with those two hills, and w-we already know the height of Newton Beacon and Whitchurch Hill...
TT Thomas Twp
But how were they measured?
The same way, by comparing them with other hills.
TT Thomas Twp Too
But who measured the first hill?
Rev. Robert Jones [whispering]
God. God, my boy. God.
Rev. Robert Jones [Morgan is selling drinks as the rest of the village works to raise the mountain]
Have you no shame?
MG Morgan the Goat
[patting his sides as if searching]
No... I can't think where I've left it!
MG Morgan the Goat
I don't want Ffynnon Garw to be on the map because we begged for it, because we, we-we pleaded. No. If Ffynnon Garw has to be a thousand feet, then I say let it be a thousand feet! Put 20 feet, that's all we need, a 20-foot tump and we have our mountain!
JJ Jones the JP
I'm not sure how legal that is...
Rev. Robert Jones Yes, or ethical...
MG Morgan the Goat
Legal? Ethical? Wh-- how legal was it to say that a thousand feet is a mountain and 984 isn't, uh? Uh? Do we call a short man a boy, or a small dog a cat? No! This is a mountain, our mountain, and if it needs to be a thousand feet, then by God let's make it a thousand feet!
