                  ‘नौबत’ नाटक के डाईलौग’

महेशा नन्द - कुंडली क्या देखणी, आशा जनि सुन्दर लडकी कैका भाग पर होली. अपणा मुखन अपणी कि बडे ठीक नी छ. लेकिन आप कै सणि भी पूछी सकदा नौनी क बारा मा.

पंडित जी- आप जाणदा इ छन कि आजकल कि पढ़ी लिखीं नौनी कै काम कि नि ह्व्न्दी . जिन्दगी मा सफलता और सुख चैन कि बजाय रोज झगड़ा इ रहंद . बरमा कि ब्वारी देखा, सरा मुहल्ला सिर मा रहंद धरयुं . बी.ए.पास क्या छ कर्युं कि कै कुछ समजदी इ नीनी.

                 ‘ब्यौ कि बात’  ke  डाईलौग

जग्गू......अजी कख क्या; आजकल का छोरा , माचद, थोड़ा पढ़ी लिखी क्या गैन अफु तै जाणै क्या समझदा . खाली चोटी मानि जाणदन अर कुछ ना. छि भै फंड फूका यूँ छोरों तै , न कै काम का न कौड़ी का
