Sàm anns a’ Bhùth

(Sam in the Shop)

Sàm: Halò! Tha mi ag iarraidh tombaca.
(Hello! I want tobacco.)

Sealbhadair: Chan urrainn dhomh tombaca a reic riut.
(I cannot sell you tobacco.) Chan e duine a th’ annadsa! You are not a human!

Sàm: Tha mi a’ fuireach an seo! Tha mi pòsta! Tha cead agam.
(I live here! I am married! I have permission)

Sealbhadair: ‘s mi nach creid thu…. Falbh!
(I don’t believe you. Go away!)

Sàm: Tha sin mì-chothromach! Bidh mi a’ bruidhinn ri mo neach-lagha!
(That is unfair! I will speak to my lawyer!)

(Sàm a’ falbh, feargach.)
(Sam leaves, angry.)
