The dialog in question is "datchuuno"/だっちゅーの, an idiomatic version of datto iu no/だっと言うの, a multi-purpose emphasizer along the lines of "I'll say" or "I tell you". Popularized by the comedy duo Pirates, who would deliver it as a punchline while posing to emphasize their cleavage.
My work wrapped up about 10:00 this morning, and that's when I started this, so this old man's body had pretty much reached its limits, but I got such a kick out of all the nostalgia that I was able to draw the whole thing.
