    As a Glaswegian, I know exactly what he's doing here and it's brilliant.
    He completely bamboozles her by deliberately being incomprehensible and incoherent AND he keeps a deadpan, straight face throughout.
    In Glaswegian parlance, "he seen her coming."

    2 years ago I went to Scotland to decide once & for all whether Scots is a separate language or a dialect of English. Fortunately for me, the Glaswegians speak very loudly when on the telephone. After a few sessions of eavesdropping I concluded that it was indeed a different language as it could have been Ukrainian as far as I could tell.

    “Well, it’s very hard to bring them to mind, this is the thing. It’s only, It’s alright when yours ours and your going in heart to heart. Is that us? Do you understand?”
    What he’s saying is actually a lot deeper than what a lot of people think “Well it’s very hard to bring them to mind, this is the thing” and he is meaning even older terms like what his father or mother would say to him in that generation. Then said “it’s only, it’s alright when yours ours in your going in heart to heart is that us ”. Yours ours means his family or his people of the same blood(same blood meaning Scottish). My dad used it both ways. Obviously in heart to heart means meaningful conversation not street talk to a stranger, and he isn’t gonna show her meaningful terms like Scottish Gaelic or things of that nature that where she would absolutely have no idea what he was saying. He said this assuming she would understand his accent, but still didn’t. “Is that us” is used as a sarcastic remark here because that’s obviously not them they aren’t having a heart to heart, it also could be used like is that us like are we ready to go, is this over with, are we done here, In other circumstances . When He said “Do you understand?” He wasn’t meaning do you understand my accent” He was meaning do you understand not to go asking people on street stuff that doesn’t involve you, because your not his family or his blood.

    'It's very hard to bring them to mind, this is the thing, it's alright...' (presumably goes on to say something like 'when you're mid conversation and you don't even think about what you're saying') but there's an obvious cut in the tape to the tail end of another sentence. Context is key.

    I'm an American student studying in Scotland right now, and the first time I went out with a Glaswegian guy I think I understood maybe half of what he said to me the whole evening!
    By date 3 I was up to around 85%. My upward cap is probably 93% or so, so I'd say that's not bad.

    I'm from Mexico, wife from Glasgee, when we were dating I could only understand half of what she was saying so I used to remain silent most of the time while she was telling me about something or other. My way around it was to say "uh-uh", "hmmm", "yep" from time to time to pretend I was following . This worked in my favour in the end as she thought I was a good listener.

    He's talking sense. There's a lot of words we use with eachother that we don't realise are just Scots words. I even moved from Ayrshire on the west coast to Dundee on the east, and folk didn't understand some words I used
    We also naturally "code-switch", when we're with other Scottish folk we drift into strong dialects, but speaking to people from other places we speak English with an accent. You can't really force it. Get to know us and you'll get the patter for free

    From Scotland, I'm sure at the end he says "is that us?", which is a VERY common way of saying, "are you ready" or "are you finished". I would always say that to friends when we are getting ready to go out, "is that you?", "aye, that's me", ok, "that's us" meaning, "are you ready, "I'm ready", "ok we are ready, lets go". But just before he says that it's gibberish or a stupid edit.

    One year I was sent to Edinbourgh and I had the pleasure to visit Glasgow, Inverness etc. It was an amazing experience although my self-esteem was incedibly low after 2 weeks of "could you repeat please?", "what?", "eeehm yes?".
