Unnskyld, hvor mange er klokken?
'Unnskyld' would reflect the 'please' in this case. If you replace 'klokken' with 'klokka', you get a language that is more radical or colloquial or more likely to be used by young people or by the working class. If you replace 'mange' with 'mye', that would be even more so.
