| "206 of these this week!" |
Aaron has counted up 206 polystyrene containers which the chip shop has used in an week, and Britt complains to Colin that they are drowning in all this plastic; “I’ll have to talk to the suppliers – we can’t carry on like this.”
 |
| "We could swap suppliers" |
Aaron maintains that this could be their opportunity to swap suppliers to ones who conform with the WMS;
 |
| "What's this WMS gibberish?" |
Colin has no idea of the gibberish Aaron is talking, so it is explained to him that the initials stand for Welsh Marine Society.
 |
| "I'll get on to that this morning" |
“Sustainable stocks, Dad,” Aaron goes on, “They’ve got an app showing who sells them.” Britt will get on to it this morning and find out which suppliers the WMS support.
|
| "You've changed your tune!" |
Colin remarks that Britt has changed her tune,
 |
| Britt has suddenly become a fanatical environmentalist |
and she groans, “You would have, too, Col, if you’d been to the beach – if we don’t change our ways, the fish will come out of the sea wearing plastic.”
 |
| "But where do you draw the line?" |
He can see that she is serious about all this, but wonders where she draws the line; “Are you going to stop selling fizzy drinks?” Both Britt and Aaron agree that they may well have to.
 |
| "We're going to start a revolution, Dad!" |
“We’re going to start a revolution, Dad!” Aaron enthusiastically announces,
 |
| "Good luck with persuading the rest of Cwmderi" |
but Colin wishes him good luck with persuading the rest of Cwmderi. He asks Britt if she really thinks that people will pay more for sustainable seafood, and she replies that they will have to learn there is no other choice.
 |
| "A protest – on the High Street!" |
“We have to make sure that people can’t avoid it – a protest!” decides Aaron, “On the High Street – before you start, Mam, leave it to me! I’ll sort it all out.”
 |
| "My name? Izzy Evans" |
At Penrhewl, Sioned is on the phone, arranging for the viewing of a one-bedroom flat at midday; “My name? It’s Izzy Evans,” she says.
 |
| "I can't find my best top" |
Her mother comes in, looking for her favourite top, as she wants to look her best, for the video session, and she reminds Sioned that she promised to do her hair.
 |
| "We'll be done in time for 'Pointless'" |
“Izzy will be getting here about two, which means we’ll be done in time for ‘Pointless’,” Eileen adds,
 |
| "Pointless?" |
and Sioned is puzzled; “We’re a good partnership while Huwi-John is having his dinner – Izzy’s got plenty in her head!”
 |
| "Izzy's looking for a flat, Mam" |
Sioned is inclined to agree with this, but warns her mother that she does not know how long they will be ‘Pointless’ partners; “Izzy’s looking for flat and is moving out.” Eileen is disappointed to hear this, and Sioned has to take a delivery of vegetables to the village; “I do remember that you need hairspray,”
 |
| "You're going to look like a superstar!" |
she tells Eileen, “You’re going to look like a superstar!”
 |
| The light in the flat is still not working |
In the shop flat, Mathew operates the light switch, but nothing happens; at that moment his phone sounds,
 |
| He rejects a video call from Izzy |
and he sees it is a video call from Izzy, which he ignores.
 |
| Luned sees Tesni approaching |
As Tesni is walking through the alley,
 |
| She knows that Mathew is up there |
and looks up longingly at the shop flat, she is noticed by Luned from inside the café,
 |
| Luned texts Tesni . . . |
who quickly texts her,
 |
| . . . and she comes into the café |
and Tesni goes across.
 |
| "Two coffees coming up" |
“Two coffees, please,” Luned asks Gwen, and commiserates that things have been rubbish for Tesni recently, with Mathew and everything.
 |
| "I really wanted to phone you, Tes" |
“I really wanted to phone you, but I wasn’t sure if you’d want to talk to me.”
Tesni that she has missed Luned, and they agree that the problem for both of them is boys.
 |
| "I don't know how I feel" |
Tesni does not know how she feels; “I feel lost – I don’t know what to think or what to do – and I don’t want to talk about it yet.”
 |
| "A protest on Friday!" |
Aaron comes in with some news for them; “A protest on Friday!”
 |
| "I like a good protest!" |
Luned says she likes a good protest, and wants to know what it is about. “The sea, fish, plastics, fish stocks – we’re going to make huge changes in the chip shop!” he answers.
 |
| "No, I don't think so" |
Tesni is not sure that she wants to be involved, but is told by Luned that she needs to keep her head busy.
 |
| Gwen brings over the coffees |
He will let them know the details, and Luned proposes making placards.
When he has left the café, Tesni reminds Luned who else likes a protest; “Guto – is that going to be a problem?”
 |
| Luned has quickly got over Guto |
Luned maintains that she has long forgotten about him; “There are far more interesting ‘fish’ out there!” she laughs.
 |
| "It's going to be a protest and a half" |
In the shop, Colin is telling Sioned about the protest; “It’s going to be a protest and a half – Aaron’s organising it all. I just thought I’d give you at Penrhewl a heads-up.”
 |
| "No plastic gets anywhere near our stuff" |
Sioned’s response is that they are green enough at Penrhewl and no plastic gets anywhere near their stuff.
 |
| "How's Nicole Kidman feeling, then?" |
“Tell me,” enquires Colin, “How’s Nicole Kidman feeling? Tell her that Spielberg here is looking forward to the filming later.”
 |
| "She's been going on and on about it" |
Sioned replies that her mother has been going on and on about it, and Colin is confident that they will have a lot of fun; “And Huwi as well.”
 |
| "I've had the text and the voicemail" |
Just then, Izzy walks into the shop, and confirms to Sioned, “I’ve had the text and the voicemail about the flat,”
 |
| "Just making sure you'll be there" |
but Sioned wants to make sure that she will in fact turn up. “Of course – it sounds lovely,” says Izzy, rather insincerely, adding that she and her father will be going to Penrhewl very shortly.
 |
| "You need the patience of a saint with her!" |
When Sioned leaves the shop, Izzy groans, “You need the patience of a saint with her! Dad, I really appreciate you helping out with the filming.”
 |
| "What's that noise?" |
Then there is the sound of a loud crash from upstairs, and they both rush up to investigate.
 |
| Mathew has taken a tumble . . . |
Mathew is just getting up from the floor, having fallen off the chair while attempting to replace the bulb in the light;
 |
| . . . not a good idea in his condition |
he growls, “I’m as thick as two short planks!” Colin would have brought the ladder from the storeroom if he had known,
 |
| "Call for help next time – all right?" |
and tells Mathew to call for help next time.
 |
| "The scars are still a bit sensitive . . ." |
Izzy can see that Mathew is not OK, and he admits that the scars are still bit sensitive;
 |
| ". . . especially when you land on them!" |
“Especially when you land on them!” She is concerned that he has done further damage, but he abruptly tells that he is all right.
 |
| "You can put the kettle on, if you want" |
“You can put the kettle on if you want, while I go and check,” he suggests, then makes his painful way towards the bedroom.
 |
| Eileen's hair is about finished |
Having about finished styling her mother’s hair, Sioned proposes that they have a cup of tea and a sandwich, but Eileen does not want lettuce stuck in her teeth. “Why is this project so important to you?” Sioned asks, pointing out that her mother is not usually worried about the language.
 |
| Eileen has an ulterior motive – to promote Cae Glas |
“I’ve raised my children to speak Welsh,” Eileen replies, “It’s going to be on Yr Antur’s webpage, and I’m a businesswoman. We could put Cae Glas produce in the background, and we should get a lot of publicity. I want to look like one of those women who can cope with anything.”
 |
| "Good thinking, Batman!" |
“Good thinking, Batman!” exclaims Sioned, “Or Wonder Woman, I should say!”
 |
| "Are you all right, Mathew?" |
Izzy is concerned that Mathew has been a long time, and calls to him that his cup of tea is getting cold;
 |
| "Shall I call the surgery?" |
he returns, displaying the dressings on his body, and she thinks they ought to contact the surgery, but he does not want that, adding that it is just a bit painful. “The dressing’s moved, and my skin feels like it’s on fire,” he groans.
She wonders if it needs changing,
 |
| "Do you want to see? You don't have to" |
and he asks if she wants to see his injuries, although she does not have to;
 |
| Mathew reveals his acid burns |
he peels back the dressing, revealing the gruesome extent of the acid burns,
 |
| "Mathew, it looks so . . ." |
and she gasps, “Mathew, it looks so . . .”
 |
| "It's still a bit tender" |
“The doctors say that it’s early days,” he says, “And it’s still a bit tender.”
 |
| "You'll get there in time, Mathew" |
She tries to reassure him that with time he will get there, and thanks him for trusting her. “I’m so sorry for being abrupt with you yesterday,” he goes on, “I know you were trying to help, and I appreciate the fact you want to be there for me.”
 |
| Emotion gets the better of him |
He bursts into tears,
 |
| "You're still the same old Mathew" |
and she reminds him that he is still the old Mathew, and that will never change.
 |
| "I can't concentrate on anything" |
As they come round the corner by the medical centre, Tesni concedes that they will have some chips, but they must take them home, so that she can revise; “I have to try to do something – I can’t concentrate on anything.”
 |
| "Have you heard about Mrs Llywelyn?" |
Luned asks, “Have you heard about Mrs Llywelyn?”
 |
| "Lost her job and her boyfriend in one go" |
Tesni replies that she has lost her job and her boyfriend in one go – although not exactly lost her job.
 |
| "She's finished with Rhys?" |
Luned is more interested in the the fact that Mrs Llywelyn has finished with Rhys, and her face lights up.
Dismissing her previous flirtation with him, which she says was ages ago, she enthuses, “Come on Tes – he’s lush, and he owns a gym!”
 |
| "But you hate the gym" |
Tesni was under the impression that she hated the gym,
 |
| "I used to!" |
but Luned corrects her, “I used to!”
 |
| "We've only got chips available" |
They go into the chippy and Britt apologises that they are throwing out plastics and polystyrene; “We’ve only got chips available until we get the place in order.”
 |
| "Have you seen Izzy?" |
Sioned bursts in, asking if anyone has seen Izzy, as she appears to be missing and has an appointment.
 |
| "I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her!" |
Britt issues Sioned with a warning, “Watch her – I wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her!” which exactly concurs with Sioned’s evaluation.
 |
| "You'll make someone a good husband, Mathew" |
Up in the shop flat, Izzy tells Mathew that he will make someone a good husband, as he brings her a sandwich. He recalls what his mother used to say;
 |
| "No-one would want to marry me" |
“Every time I did something wrong, Mam would say no-one would want to marry me. Nothing I did was good enough for her – I always let Mam and Dad down. I didn’t do very well in school, I didn’t sing, I didn’t recite – I hated the piano! Mam had a clear idea of how I was supposed to turn out.”
 |
| "Sounds like Mam – really pushy!" |
Izzy thinks his mother sounds like a real headache; “A bit like Mam – she’s always been really pushy – but what do you expect from a headmistress?”
 |
| Mathew was a disappointment to his parents |
Mathew continues, “The fact I didn’t go to college was the biggest disappointment – Dad was a lecturer and head of department, Mam was a doctor – I couldn’t even get a handful of GCSEs! Her heart was in the right place, but what has happened would just confirm everything to her.”
 |
| "But someone attacked you!" |
Izzy stresses that someone attacked him, and he replies, “They would think I upset someone, and that wasn’t fit to live on my own.” She realises that is why he does not want his parents to find out about the attack.
 |
| "If they know, I'd be back in Ceredigion in a flash" |
“If they knew, I’d be back in Ceredigion in a flash – there would be more embarrassment than love,” he tells her.
 |
| "Sioned's after me again – that girl's a nightmare!" |
Izzy’s phone sounds, and she grumbles, “Damn it! Sioned’s after me again – that girl’s a nightmare!” She is determined not to go, but Mathew advises her not to upset Sioned,
 |
| Izzy does not forget her sandwich |
so she grabs her sandwich and leaves.
 |
| Britt is deep in thought |
Britt is poring over some paperwork when Aaron comes into the chip shop,
 |
| "Loads of people are interested in the protest" |
advising, “Loads of people are interested in the protest – the new teacher living with Iolo is going to come as well.”
 |
| "We'll have to close the shop, Aaron!" |
Britt looks serious, and informs him, “We’ll have to close the shop, Aaron!” He realises that he has put too much pressure on her, and should have thought about it.
 |
| "The future of the planet is at stake here" |
They could have taken it step by step, but she insists, “The the future of the planet is at stake here – yours and your children’s future!”
 |
| "Your health is what comes first" |
“But your health is what comes first,” he tells her. She points out that she is not sick, but is seeing things clearly for the first time ever. However, if they are going to make changes, it will take more than just changing suppliers, or stopping using plastic.
 |
| "We have to be radical, Aaron!" |
“No, we have to be radical!” she declares, “If I close the shop, I’ll have time to do things right and not cut corners.
 |
| "Only sustainable changes will make a real difference" |
“Only sustainable changes will make a real difference!”
 |
| "Hang this on the door for me, Aaron" |
She produces a hastily-written notice, reading, ‘CLOSED FOR IMPROVEMENTS’ and invites him to hang it on the door for her.
 |
| "Can you film me, to keep as a memory?" |
Eileen asks a favour; “Can you film me singing to Huwi – not for the promo, but just to keep as a memory, so that Huwi can watch it in years to come? And I’d like a record of me and Huwi, when I look half decent – I think I look all right today.”
 |
| "That's a lovely idea, Eileen" |
As Izzy describes this as a lovely idea, and will make sure that Eileen gets a DVD, Sioned is looking disapproving.
 |
| Colin makes some adjustments |
Colin makes adjustments to the camera,
 |
| "Sioned says you're looking for a flat" |
and Eileen brings up the subject of Izzy looking for a flat.
Izzy gives the excuse that she does not want to be in the way, but Eileen assures her that she will not be;
 |
| "Anyway, who'd watch 'Pointless' with me?" |
“And anyway, who would watch ‘Pointless’ with me? I’d like you to reconsider.” By this time Sioned’s expression is that of disgust, and Izzy is pleased that the matter is sorted out.
 |
| A call from Eifion |
Colin turns on the camera once again, and Izzy’s phone rings with a call from Eifion, so her father asks her to turn it off.
 |
| "Tonight, tonight, little children" |
Eileen begins singing, “Tonight, tonight, little children . . .”
 |
| "Lucky I didn't get to that appointment after all" |
Izzy mutters to Sioned, “It’s lucky I didn’t get to the appointment after all.”
 |
| "Who do you think you are?" |
“Who do you think you are?” Sioned snarls in reply.
