I didn't quite get 全部付けんでよろしいよ。 I've never seen this before. I'm guessing it's another form of 付けなくてもいいですよ?
You are guessing right. The tall man is really saying すべての文字(もじ)に「てんてん」を付けなくてもい いですよ。
"You don't have to dot every letter!"

I usually listen to Hokkaido dialect, which isn't really so much a dialect, so Osaka-ben is a nice change for me.
Despite the great physical distance between Hokkaido and Tokyo, there isn't too much of a dialect in Hokkaido. This is because Hokakido was developed by settlers from the rest of Japan (mainly Honshu), each of whom spoke a different dialect. Once arriving in Hokkaido, however, they had no choice but to speak to one another in as neutral a way as possible for better communication. Over time this lead to the lack of a strong accent/dialect in the Northern Island.
