![]() |
Izzy has just come out of the flat |
As Izzy comes out of the door of the flat, he adds, “Hey, we’ve both had a go at Izzy –

"Perhaps it's his his turn next!" |
“perhaps it’s his turn next! Keep it in the family!”
Mathew is furious and is about to wallop Eifion,

![]() |
"Are you sure you've made the right choice, Izzy?" |
“Are you sure you’ve made the right choice, Izzy? He would have killed me if you hadn’t stopped him.”
![]() |
"I wouldn't have blamed him if he did!" |
She stresses that she would not have blamed him, and assures Eifion that he will not split them up. “You know how all this started, don’t you?” Eifion rants, “He’s angry that I upset his ex – what does that tell you?”

"He's ten times the man you are!" |
Izzy replies, “That he’s ten times the man you are!” Eifion concludes that they are both mad, and she agrees, “We are, but we’re also happy! Something someone like you will never understand.

![]() |
"Ifan snores worse than Dai!" |
“Ifan snores worse than Dai!” complains Jason, “I’ve given you mates’ rates, of course, but if you talk to Dai, please don’t tell him, because he’s out for my blood. Because I won’t sign the sale documents. I’ve promised to find someone to buy their share.”

"You've got to keep your personal problems away from the bar" |

![]() |
"How much do you want?" |
“You won’t know I’m here – please, I have nowhere else to go – say how much do you want,” whines Eifion. It is decided that will amount to a week’s rent, for the time that he has been there, and not a single word to Hywel.
