Quotes:

Lionel the Hermit: [Fourth hermit passes by] Morning Frank.
Frank the Hermit: Morning Lionel. Well he says that moss tends to fall off the cave walls during cold weather. You know you might get a really bad spell and half the moss drops off the cave wall, leaving you cold.
Second Hermit: Oh well, Mr Robinson's cave's never been exactly nirvana has it?
Frank the Hermit: Well, quite, that's what I mean. Anyway, Mr Rogers, he's the, er, hermit...
Second Hermit: ...on the end.
Frank the Hermit: ...up at the top, yes. Well he tried wattles and he came out in a rash.
Second Hermit: Really?
Frank the Hermit: Yes, and there's me with half a wall wattled, I mean what'll I do?
Second Hermit: Well why don't you try birds nests like I've done? Or else, dead bracken.
Han the Hermit: [calling from a distance] Frank!
