Διπλοπενιές 1966 dialogue snippet (transcript)

In this clip from Διπλοπενιες 1966 film [Harry Clynn?] I have tried to make a transcript of the initial dialogue between speakers 1 & 2, until they hear the ‘drunken’ song from the singer on the scaffolding and get out their bouzoukis to accompany the song. I could pick out the odd word but this is as much as I understood:-
Speaker1:….. δύνατο να παρούμε μανάβη να μας τραγουδάει:-“…possible to get a greengrocer to sing for us, a butcher”…
Speaker 2:- χασαπη εντάξει, ρε μαέστρο, τότε να πάμε ένα χασάπη. “a butcher, okay, maestro, then let’s get a butcher”..
[The ‘singer’ sings from the scaffold the song Ματια Βουρκωμένα, last verse: I can understand most of the words from the song apart from μα τον άγιο= ? but saints forbid?]
Can my more learned colleagues correct this and flesh it out a little. The fast speaking of Greek is a daunting comprehension task but I’m getting there!

Speaker 1 (Vassilis Avlonites): Είναι δυνατόν να πάρουμε μανάβη να μας τραγουδάει χασάπικο;
Speaker 2 (Petros Lochaïtes): Εντάξει, ρε μαέστρο, τότε να πάμε να βρούμε ένα χασάπη!

1. [Are you mad? What are you talking about?] Getting a greengrocer to sing for us butcher's songs? [a word play with χασάπικο]
2. All right then, maestro, let's find a butcher! [A butcher would be more expert in singing "butcher's songs" [look up the word χασάπικο].

Μα τον άγιο : By the saint! [No specific saint is implied]

Χασάπικος (Google-translated)

Thanks for all this, Earion! What is the Greek here for “Are you mad? What are you talking about?”
I didn’t hear it, hence the lacuna in my ‘transcript’!

These words weren't actually spoken. Earion is just providing the context underlying the surface-level meaning of the words spoken by speaker 1.

In other words, Are you mad? What are you talking about? are simply suggestive of the undertone to the question being asked by the first speaker.

Thanks, cougr! I thought I’d missed some more of the spoken dialogue. I’m glad I got most of the words apart from my ignorance of the χασάπικο. I feel at long last I’m making some progress with understanding the apparent conversational speed of Greek. Patience and perseverance brought the snail to Jerusalem.

We have to point out here that in old comedies they tend to speak slightly faster than they do in dramas. This particular film has excellent dialogues, especially where a couple are fighting it’s a very realistic exchange of escalating complaints ostensibly out of the blue, which implies prior disagreements.

Many thanks for the information, SBE, which has sparked off many ideas in my mind about the learning of Greek!
EASY GREEK’S dialogues on sundry topics with all sorts of people in all places in Greece are truly excellent. Many are at fast conversational speed according to context and mood. According to Wikipedia in English conversation we speak at a rate of 3.3 to 5.9 syllables per second depending on context, δηλ. roughly 180-220 syllables per minute or 140-160 words a minute…..(f)actors like emotional state or the nature of the conversation (e.g., storytelling vs. interview, advertisements ) can influence this rate, as you implied in your note.
Modern Greek, it seems, because of vowel collapse (think of the words that have the high front vowel /i/ which can be written as ι, η, ει, υ) have taken Ancient Greek from the low end of the chart for syllables per second, up to the high end in Modern Greek. And in fact, Modern Greeks currently speak at 8-9 syllables per second, i.e. 480-540 words per minute, faster, it seems, than even Japanese who speak at 7.84 syllables per second, 470.4 a minute, which is supposedly the fastest spoken language in the world.
Incidentally, many modern students find English the easiest language to learn, partly because of its widespread use but also for its relative slowness of speech.
For these reasons, I need modern Greek speakers to help me with understanding the dialogue clips I enter as threads, of which you are one!
