Multiple posters at Tamed

Rhys walks past Tamed and looks at all the posters covering the windows;   

Garry does not look too impressed

he remarks to Garry, “Effective,” 

Eileen is outraged . . .

but Garry simply shakes his head and walks away.

Eileen is also approaching and looks with horror at the scene before her;  Rhys tells her that it is a good photo, 

. . . and hurries inside

but she snarls, “What the hell?” and hurries inside.

"That isn't the photo we took!"

There she confronts Siôn;  “That isn’t the photo we took!”   When he agrees that it is not, she continues, “I don’t understand!”

"It reflects who I really am"

He explains, “This reflects who I really am,” so she immediately complains that he means without her.   He insists that is not the reason that he changed it.

“Why didn’t you say before plastering it over the café?” she demands.   Siôn points out that she was asleep when he came in last night and he thought that she would not mind.   

"Erasing me out of your life!"

“Wouldn’t mind you erasing me out of your life?” she shouts, “You were wrong!”

"Siôn's left anonymous comments"

At Y Felin, when Lleucu comes downstairs, she is informed by Indeg, “Siôn’s left anonymous comments on your Insta.”   

"Despite the sweetness of her smile . . ."

Then she reads out one of them;  “Despite the sweetness of her smile, representing a community needs experience from the school of hard knocks.”   She insists that he is doing more harm to himself than to Lleucu. 

"I want to film a video"

“When do you have a free lesson?   I want to film a video – the more, the better – and wear your own clothes this time.”   

"I look wrong in everything"

Lleucu maintains that she looks wrong in anything and has holes in every pair of jeans, which Indeg regards as perfect, adding that she can wear something smarter for the hustings.

“Just think of a script for about five or six snappy points,” Indeg goes on, 

"How many shots did I have?"

but by this time Lleucu is feeling sick, wondering how many shots they had last night.   

"I stopped coining after four"

Indeg stopped counting after four;  she suggests that probably food would help and offers to make an omelette, 

The suggestion of food is too much . . .

but this is the final straw, 

. . . and Lleucu dashes upstairs

causing Lleucu to dash upstairs.

"Why are you taking them down?"

Siôn has removed a lot of the posters from the deli window and Mathew enquires why he is taking them down.   The excuse is given that they make the place dark and there are plenty of other places for them.

Mark brings the post

Mark, one of the other candidates, comes in 

. . . and is accused of tampering with Siôn's leaflets

and is accused by Siôn of removing his pamphlets from letterboxes, replacing them with his own.   

"I wouldn't risk my livelihood"

“Do you really think I’d risk my livelihood?” Mark demands, “Say it again and I’ll sue!” he threatens.   “Keep your powder dry for the hustings, good boy – 

"No more of your dirty tricks"

“no more of your dirty tricks.   I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.”

"I quite enjoy public speaking"

Siôn, on the other hand, says that he quite enjoys public speaking;  

"We have a lot more experience than her"

Mark agrees that between the two of them, they have a lot more experience than Lleucu.

Kelly comes in as Siôn points out that you only gain experience from trying;  Mark comments that Lleucu does not have any flyers or posters.

"She's got the internet"

Kelly pipes up, “She doesn’t need them – she’s got the Internet.”   Siôn does not regard that as the same thing as talking to people 

"It's a two-horse race"

and Mark is convinced that it is a two-horse race, something with which Kelly does not agree.

"Why aren't you answering my texts?"

When Mark has left, Kelly asks, “Why aren’t you answering my texts?   

"I couldn't see evidence of any work"

“I went to Morawel and I couldn’t see evidence of any work.”

"Roof insulation and new boiler"

Siôn replies that she would not as it was roof insulation and a new boiler;  “They must have done a good job if you didn’t notice.”   Kelly is by no means convinced by this;  he does look concerned as he leaves and Kelly asks for a cappuccino.

Ows wants to borrow a blender

Ows is looking in drawers in the Deri flat.   He asks Cassie if they have a blender, as his has packed up.   She directs him to the relevant cupboard and says that she wants to apologise;  

"I haven't drunk that much for a long time"

“I haven’t drunk that much for a long time – 

"I've got a vague memory of dancing"

“I’ve got a vague memory of dancing and drinking shots.”

"And singing"

He points out that she was also singing and offers to make her a protein shake.   She thought that he was going running, but he says that he has been already.   

"I don't think I could put one foot in front of the other"

Cassie does not think that she could even put one foot in front of the other and he tells her to go back to bed;  

"I'll bring you a cup of tea"

he will buy some more milk and bring her a cup of tea.   Cassie really likes this sort of treatment.

Lleucu gives her views on recycling

Indeg is videoing Lleucu as she announces, “I’d argue for larger bins for recycling and small ones for other things.   

"Vote for me – Lleucu Rossiter"

“Thanks for listening and remember to vote for me - Lleucu Rossiter.”

"It's not very green, Siôn"

Siôn passes and she calls to him, “It’s not very green, Siôn.”

"I'm surprised you know the meaning of 'bin'!"

He growls, “I’m surprised you know the meaning of the word ‘bin’, considering the state of your room in Y Felin!”   She is surprised that is his level of argument, raising those things which he has been saying about her online.

“Are you afraid of the competition?”   

"I haven't been saying anything about you"

He denies that he has been saying anything about her online and is certainly not afraid of her or the TikTok generation, maintaining that they do not vote.

Nevertheless, he is pleased that she is standing, 

"You don't have a canary's chance"

but predicts, “You don’t have a canary’s chance of winning.”   

"We'll see who's laughing later"

As he walks away, Indeg tells Lleucu not to worry, as they will see who is laughing later.

"We're going out tonight"

Sioned comes out of APD, with Mathew chasing after her, asking if she is all right to carry that home;  “I was going to text you earlier – we’re going out tonight.”

"We need every penny!"

She immediately protests, “Spending money on going out won’t get us out of our hole!   We need every penny – the garage has phoned with a stupid quote for the quad’s new tyres.”

"I don't have anything to wear"

He maintains that a couple of drinks will not make any difference, so now she tells him that she does not have anything to wear as she has sold it all online.

"I saved that dress that I love"

“I saved the dress I love from the pile you were going to sell,” he reveals, “Come on!”

"Jinx sabotaged my instructions"

When Siôn comes back into the deli, Garry is there;  “Jinx sabotaged my instructions!” he complains.

"Blame me"

If Garry wants someone to blame for changing the brief, Siôn says that it was him.  “That brief was going to win the election for you!” Garry insists, 

"I'm not a 'toff' in a field"

but Siôn is adamant that he is not a ‘toff’ in a field and has values.

"Of a man who will stab you in the back"

“The values of a man who will stab you in the back and does what he wants with your money?” growls Garry.

"You're not going to change me, Garry"

Siôn makes it very clear that Garry is not going to change him into something which he is not;  furthermore, he suspects that Garry has been sending nasty messages to Lleucu online.

"What are you talking about?

“What are you talking about?” replies Garry trying to sound sincere.   Siôn snarls that it will not work and that Garry should leave him and Lleucu alone.

"You do what I tell you to do!"

Garry angrily reminds him, “You do what I tell you to do!” 

"What's going on?"

but Eileen walks in on this and demands what is going on.   Siôn answers that Garry is just leaving.   

Garry smiles wryly

He laughs and then does leave.

"Creating safer streets"

As the video production continues, Lleucu is walking along the street saying, “It would be great to save the streets for pedestrians, for children to play in.   Creating safer streets so everyone’s happy.”

"Yoi have not idea how the world works"

Mark comes upon this scene, approaching them and sneering, “You, the younger generation, you’re full of big ideas – you have no idea how the world works.”

"Well, what would you do, then?"

She demands, “What would you do then?   Carry on making the same mistakes?”

"Er . . . well, you know"

However, Mark seems to be devoid of any concrete ideas;  

Lleucu is amused by this

“Well, for a start I’d . . . you know, I’d . . . 

"If your'e going to laugh at me . . ."

“I won’t waste my time here if you’re going to laugh at me!”   

Then she does laugh

Both Lleucu and Indeg fall about laughing as he walks away.

"Why have we come here?"

As they sit in the Deri, Kelly asks Rhys why they came there, as it is putting profits in the hands of the competition.   He replies, “It feels more like a night out if I swap Ceffyl Du for somewhere else.”

“More like a date?” Kelly wonders, 

"Considering how every other date has gone"

but he is scared to say that, considering how every other date has gone.   

"Not every one"

She reminds him, “Not every one!” 

Then sudden disappointment

then her face falls as she notices Sioned coming in with Mathew.

"Let's go somewhere else"

Sioned is feeling very similar and suggests that they should go somewhere else, 

She is led towards Kelly

but she is led across to Rhys’ and Kelly’s table.   

"This is a set-up"

Kelly comes to the realisation that this is a set-up.   

"So this is what you were so keen to come here?"

“So this is why you were so keen to come here?” moans Sioned.

"We don't need men to sort out our issues"

“We don’t need men to sort out our issues, thank you,” Kelly tells them, 

"I think you do"

but Rhys insists that they do, because they are both hopeless.

"To have her accuse me of stealing!"

“I haven’t come here on one of my rare nights off to have her accusing me of stealing!” Sioned insists, 

"How many more times?"

but Kelly denies that she is accusing her.

Mathew instructs the two of them to stop, 

"You're not leaving until you sort this out"

while Rhys warns, “You’re not leaving the Deri until you sort this out.”

Both Kelly and Sioned make it quite clear that they have had enough of each other’s nonsense;  

"Just make up, will you?"

Mathew tells them to just make up, as they cannot avoid each other for ever.   

They do not look like . . .

He and Rhys go to the bar, as Kelly 

. . . burying the hatchet at the moment

 Sioned eye each other, malevolently.

Siôn chuckles . . . 

Siôn is sitting on the bench by the alley, chuckling 

. . . at Mark

as he watches the altercation between Lleucu and Mark on his phone.   

"What's amusing you?"

Mark approaches and wonders what is amusing him.   When he is told that it is Lleucu’s video, he simply remarks, “Young people wanting attention, living life in front of the cameras.”

"She had no right to do that!"

Then Siôn shows him the footage which causes Mark to growl, “She had no right to do that!” 

"You've gone viral!"

but Siôn regards him as a star, as he has gone viral.

But then there is footage of Lleucu and Siôn 

Then the video goes on to feature Siôn, who was denigrating Lleucu;  he had not been expecting that.   

"I don't think I'm the only star round here"

Mark laughs, “Sorry, boy, but I don’t think I’m the only star around here!”

"Sorry, we're closed"

Lleucu comes into the deli and is told that they are closed;  all that she needs is a cup of coffee to go – 

"Instant will be fine"

she insists that instant will do, so Eileen will make her one.   “Are you ready for the hustings?” she asks, 

"Aren't you too young to be a councillor?"

“Aren’t you too young to be a councillor?   That’s not what girls your age usually want to do.”

Lleucu replies that there are too many old men, so Eileen sneers, “It’s obvious they’re not giving you enough school work.”

"Cwmderi deserve s a better choice than Mark or Siôn"

“The people of Cwmderi deserve a better choice than Mark Jones or Siôn  White,” Lleucu maintains.

"You're talking about my partner here!"

“Hey, you’re talking about my partner here!” complains Eileen.

"Have you seen Indeg?"

Then Ows also comes in and is also told that they are closed;  “Have you seen Indeg?” he asks Lleucu. 

"Indeg, Indeg, Indeg!"

She snarls, “Indeg, Indeg, Indeg!”   

"She's not answering my texts"

He continues that she is not answering his texts and Lleucu demands what that has to do with her.   

"I'm the fling when Indeg isn't around!"

“Oh yes, I remember – I’m the fling when Indeg isn’t around!”

When he maintains that he is friends with both of them, she angrily remarks, “You’ve slept with us both – that’s not quite the same thing – you don’t want to know me now.”

He tells her that he is really sorry if he gave the wrong signals, but he thought they were just having fun;  

"If I'd known it was your first time . . ."

“If I’d known it was your first time, I’d never have slept with you.”

Lleucu storms off

Lleucu storms out of the deli and Eileen is angry that she has not had, or paid for, her coffee.

"This is a waste of time"

As they sit on opposite sides of the table in the Deri, Kelly with her phone, Sioned decides, “This is a waste of time – I’m going home.”

"You put words in my mouth"

Kelly comments, “You have to admit, you put words in my mouth before I’d formed the thought.”   

Sioned disagrees, pointing out that she made it perfectly clear what she thought.   

“Do you blame me?   You’re not exactly a saint.”

"To think you'd imagine me stealing from Anita!"

“Kelly, do I still have to pay for the things I did when I was young?” demands Sioned, “And to think you’d imagine me stealing from Anita!”

"OK, I admit it, right?"

They look at each other and Kelly concedes, “OK – I admit it, right?   When Auntie Neet is in the question, I literally lose the plot.”

"Wow – an admission!"

“Wow – an admission!” gasps Sioned, “Thanks.”

Kelly goes on, “It’s not just Auntie Neet – I’m all over the place lately.”   Sioned is glad to hear that she is not the only one.   

"Could you just, like, forgive me for tonight?"

“Can you just, like, forgive me for tonight?” asks Kelly, “We can’t let the boys down.”

"Just for tonight?"

Sioned enquires whether it will be just for tonight, then the boys come back from the bar, 

"Are we a foursome?"

asking whether they will be having a night out as a foursome.

"If you'll buy us loads of Prosecco"

Kelly replies that it depends, “If you’ll buy us loads of Prosecco for setting us up!   We’re just setting things aside for tonight – yes – we’ve made up.”

"You're not forgiven for deceiving me"

Sioned interrupts, informing Mathew, “But you’re not forgiven for deceiving me.”   

"You have a lot to make up for"

Likewise, Kelly maintains that they have a lot to make up for.

"It's better – and cheaper – in Ceffyl Du"

Rhys proposes that he has better stuff in Ceffyl Du, which is also cheaper, so the girls get up from their seats, with Kelly remarking, “Well, as long as it’s wet and bubbly,” 

Kelly kisses Rhys

then kisses Rhys.   Sioned assumes that this proves they are official, but Kelly maintains they are just having fun.

Indeg is talking tattoos

At Y Felin, Indeg is telling Siwsi that she prefers transfers to tattoos 

Lleucu closes the laptop

when Lleucu comes marching in and closes Indeg’s laptop.   

"How could you?"

“How could you?   Tell him?   That Ows was my first?”   Indeg denies doing such a thing, as Lleucu goes on, 

"That was private!"

“That was private – not something for you to laugh at!”

"Lleucu, I told him . . ."

Siwsi admits that in fact she told him;  “I wanted him to realise what he had done – hurt you, used you – 

". . . I don't like boys like that!"

“I don’t like boys like that!”

“I don’t like girls who shove their noses into my business!” growls Lleucu, 

"I'm sorry I ever trusted you two"

“I’m sorry that I ever trusted you two!”

"I had a big dinner"

Ows has brought Cassie a protein shake, perfect for a hangover, but she maintained that it has passed now, as she had a big dinner.   He promises to bring back the blender tomorrow 

"You can treat this place like home"

and she reminds him that he can treat the place like home.

"I've found an address for Em"

“I’ve got some good news – I’ve found an address for Em – I’m going to tell them everything – you don’t mind, do you?”

"I took a couple of photos from the album . . ."

Now he has something to confess;  “I took a couple of photos from the album – not just the photos of Mam, but of you.”   

"I thought you would have had enough of my face"

Cassie says that he is welcome to them, although she would have thought he would have had enough of her face by now.

"I just don't have anything of my family"

“I just don’t have anything of my family,” so she tells him to take what he likes 

"Pe3rhaps there will be a photo off the three of us"

and perhaps there will be a photo of Em with them before long to put in that album

"You're working late"

Eileen is just locking up the deli when Garry comes along the road, remarking that she is working late;  

"I haven't finished yet"

she tells him that she has not finished yet, but is going to Llanarthur to a ‘Cawl a Chan’ [literally, ‘soup and a can’] to canvass for Siôn.

"Are you going to be First Lady?"

Garry enquires what she thinks his chances are with those posters;  “Are you going to be First Lady?”

“To be honest with you,” she replies, “I wasn’t sure about this photo – but Siôn was right – this poster has had a lot of attention – people saying this is a sort of man they want – a local man with principles.”

"I think he has a very good chance"

Garry thinks perhaps that he has a chance, which Eileen believes is a very good chance;  she hopes that they can rely upon Garry’s vote.   

Garry ponders

He is left pondering about that.

Lleucu returns . . .

When Lleucu comes back downstairs, 

. . . to find a table of food

she discovers Siwsi and Indeg waiting for her, sitting in front of a table loaded with nibbles.   “Good, you’re here,” says Siwsi, 

"It's for you"

“We were starting to think we’d be stuck with a midnight feast – it’s for you, for us three.”

Indeg admits they have been idiots, but puts most of the blame on Siwsi, who does not agree.   They are so sorry for telling him;  Siwsi concedes that she had no right and does not know what she was thinking.

"Will you give us another chance?"

They beg Lleucu for another chance;  

"So you can carry on laughing at me?"

“So you can carry on laughing at me?” she snaps.   They assure her that they are not laughing, but think the world of her – the last thing they wanted to do was to hurt her.

"We'll still be friends when you're a la-di-da councillor"

“And we’ll still be friends with you when you’re a la-di-da councillor,” Indeg assures her, “How about we have a night for us three over a soppy film?”

Siwsi add that they can share stories about their first time.   

"I don't think my stomach can handle that"

Lleucu is doubtful whether her stomach can handle that, but Indeg maintains that before that they are going to make a pact.   

"Not to allow a man to come between us"

“Not to allow a man to come between us, ever again.”

They settle down for the food

This has persuaded Lleucu, who comes to sit between them on the sofa.   

Ows invites Indeg over . . .

Indeg’s phone sounds with a message from Ows, inviting her to come over, 

. . . and she is faced with a dilemma

but she puts down the phone again.

Siôn opens his Bells whisky . . .

In the shop flat,

. . . and pours himself a glass

Siôn is pouring himself some Bells whisky, 

"You almost gave me a heart attack!"

but as he turns around, he receives a considerable shock, as Garry is standing in front of him.   “You almost gave me a heart attack!” he exclaims.

"You deserve one!"

Garry tell him that he deserves one;  “The money I’ve wasted on you!”   

"This will attract more votes"

Siôn maintains that the replacement photo will attract more votes than the other one and Garry hopes that he is right.   “I don’t know why you thought the other one would work.”

"We want to attract the people who wouldn't vote for that clown"

“We want to attract the people who wouldn’t vote for that clown,” Garry snarls, pointing at the poster in front of Siôn.

"That clown is who I really am"

“That clown, as you call him, is who I really am – this is the Siôn White everyone knows.”   

"That's the problem"

Garry points out that is the problem, so Siôn wants to know exactly what is going on;  “You and your interest in this – it isn’t just the money.   

"Why is it so important to you?"

“Why is how I do in the election so important to you?   This is the community council, not the Senedd!”  [Welsh Parliament]

"Do you want to win?"

Garry demands, “Don’t you want to win?   I’m trying to help you.   I’m willing to ignore the hitch with the posters – 

"You had better do exactly as I tell you"

“but you had better do exactly as I tell you in the hustings – or there will be a price to pay!”

"Are you threatening me?"

Siôn can see that he is being threatened, 

Garry turns and walks out

but Garry simply turns and leaves the flat, with Siôn still unaware of Garry’s real motive.
