With what? I'm alright.
CHILDREN SHOUTING Right, children.
Turn to page 33 in your books.
Where have you been, miss? Have you been in jail, miss? Page 33! CHILDREN LAUGH Can I borrow the props box? Oh, you're busy.
All of my children are seeing the counsellor.
That's a good excuse to skive.
No, some of them are really shaken up.
I thought of going too.
What about you? What for? I prefer to grieve in private.
Is this what you need? Great, thanks.
It's the one when Alffi asks Angharad out on a date.
Oh, lovely.
Have your children disappeared too? It's great, isn't it? How are things with Chuckles? Does he still kiss like a fish? They can't arrest Mr Rees.
He's bonkers.
But he just left Mr Tomos's body lying there.
It's gross.
Be quiet.
Shut it, Smelly! That's enough.
Everyone.
Nadine, can I have a word with you, please? Actually, there's no reason why all of you can't hear this news.
Nadine, you're one of the three young artists .
.
to reach the shortlist of the Welsh Waterways Art Competition.
There's a ceremony next week at the National Museum.
Congratulations! I like your dress.
Thank you.
Every script is a working document that can be changed.
You need to get to the heart of the characters.
Use your own experiences.
Do you want to go for a walk? Come on, Danielle.
Get into the mindset of Angharad.
This is your first date with Alffi.
You're head over heels in love with him.
What do you do on a first date? I don't know, sir.
Can I try it, sir? Oh, please.
Sit down.
It's going round and round in my head.
At first, it frightened me, but now I'm just angry.
Not with Aneurin .
.
but with Simon.
Don't be naughty or miss will deck you.
Yes, like Stephen Gibson.
He hasn't been right since.
Silence! Yes, I hit Stephen across the face with a globe .
.
and you obviously find it funny.
But do you know what? I'd do the same thing again .
.
in the blink of an eye too.
And I wouldn't be in trouble.
All they'll do is send me back to the unit.
No school no children.
No stress.
So what do you say? Thank you.
Let's carry on with our lesson.
I know I was hasty and I could have made things a lot worse.
I wasn't trying to be a hero.
All I could think of was her.
Grug.
I didn't want her to get hurt.
That's natural, isn't it? Hm-mm.
I'm sure you've heard that I've got an interview for the position.
Yes hey, congratulations.
Thank you.
Do you happen to know who else? It's confidential.
Sorry, love.
I don't want to know the entire list, I just, um I just want to know if Dan He's my best friend and I want to know what to say if Yes, I see.
No.
No, Dan isn't on the shortlist.
Oh OK? You probably haven't noticed but I like him .
.
so I don't find your childish joke very funny.
You've got such a cavalier attitude to life.
In you go.
It's Mrs Lloyd! A few days ago .
.
our community faced a terribly tragic event.
Mr Tomos, our co-worker .
.
teacher and friend DISTANT CHEERING AND SINGING .

.
but everyone knows how difficult this past week has been.
I forgot they were coming today.
I forgot to inform the school about Mrs Lloyd's return too.
However, her return hadn't been planned for weeks.
She certainly wasn't coming from another continent.
There aren't a dozen of her belting out African songs in reception! AFRICAN SINGING Mr Nyondo.
I'm Mr Elis, Headmaster of Ysgol Bro Taf.
How wonderful to meet you and what a glorious sound! Simon Watkins, Head of Geography, acting Head Lovely to meet you.
Call a catering company.
We'll have to feed them.
Just glorious! Today is difficult for everyone .
.
so use the spare time to do some revision.
Can I have a word, miss? Yes, fine.
Yes? It's about Mr Rowlands's film.
I don't want to lose marks by not acting in it but I can't do it.
Don't you like the film? Last year, we did an adaptation of Chekhov with Mr Tomos.
This year, we're doing Mr Rowlands's stupid film.
Sorry but it's rubbish.
I'll talk to him.
It isn't part of the curriculum so you don't need to worry, OK? Thanks, miss.
Right, slight change.
I want you to write a synopsis about this.
You can take a scene each.
CHILDREN GROAN No complaints.
I'm more than ready for this visit.
Have you got a timetable for them? Excuse me, I've got a few ideas.
We can incorporate the singing into the memorial service.
I've been to Malawi.
They love football, so we could play a game.
Excellent idea excellent.
Can you fit that into your timetable, Mr Watkins? Definitely.
SCHOOL BELL 'CLOSED FOR LUNCH' I'll bet you a million pounds.
Blah, blah, blah! I'll prove it.
Dan! Shame on you calling a teacher by his first name.
Show some respect.
But he's my brother.
Yeah, right! It's true.
We're brothers.
I don't care if he's the Prime Minister, Jac Lewis.
In school, he's Mr James to you.
Told you.
Sorry, miss.
WOLF WHISTLES That's enough.
Miss Matthews.
My office, now! Aneurin Rees was filing an official complaint against you.
Bullying and sexual harassment.
You're lucky he's in a psychiatric unit.
Well, I wouldn't Give up this Page 3 nonsense.
Start behaving like a proper teacher.
Of course, but what happened That's all.
MOBILE PHONE CALL ENDED I like your hair.
I like your car.
How is Mr Lloyd? We've separated.
Things haven't been right for a while.
I heard about what happened.
It's awful.
You're lucky Daniel was there to save the day.
It wasn't like that.
I didn't mean to upset anyone.
CHEERING AND SHOUTING Penalty! FINAL WHISTLE I wanted to speak to you earlier but the psycho teacher wouldn't let me.
Do you fancy going for chips after school? What? Just I've got money.
My treat.
Great, thanks.
How was the filming? Great.
Alffi's quite a man.
He's a wonderful character and the children love the script What? You do have the parents' consent, don't you? Of course.
Good.
A few days ago .
.
our community faced a terribly tragic event.
Mr Tomos, our co-worker, teacher .
.
and friend .
.
was taken from us in such an unexpected way.
I'm sure most of you .
.
are still trying to come to terms with it all.
Before I move on and speak to you .
.
about Mr Tomos's many attributes and successes .
.
I would like to welcome the pupils of our twin school .
.
Mbomba High.
When they embarked on their journey from faraway Malawi .
.
little did they know that they would be touched by this tragedy.
But their visit comes as a blessing to us all.
Not everyone is aware of this .
.
but Mr Tomos adored African music.
I would like to invite them to sing a tribute .
.
to our beloved lost brother, Mr Emyr Tomos.
CHILDREN SING AFRICAN SONG Hiya, Mam.
Can you call me when you get this message, please? Thanks.
AFRICAN SINGING CONTINUES Beca? Hiya.
I've got a bad stomach.
Has the service finished? Yes.
It's a shame I missed it, but it doesn't matter.
Do you want to get a takeaway later? I'm busy.
SCHOOL BELL Goodbye! Excuse me.
There wasn't a mix-up.
They arrived a week early.
I'd like to thank everyone for their contribution to today's service.
Let Mr Tomos's legacy be a reminder to us all .
.
that life is short.
It's important to make the most of every day.
Thank you, people.
Seren is staying with a friend tonight.
Come over and I'll cook.
Sounds like a good idea.
HOME / WORK HOME He should know that I wouldn't get the dates wrong.
I thought we could go and see Sara.
Dan is with her.
By the way, he didn't get an interview for the job.
I hope he isn't too disappointed.
I bought these to boost your spirits.
She couldn't sleep.
She's gone for a walk.
What's that meant to be? Beca? Has the school driven you nuts too? I've come to see Aneurin, but I don't know The psychiatric unit is over there.
Thank you.
Hi.
Can I leave these for Aneurin Rees, please? Is he expecting you? I didn't think What's your name? Beca Beca Matthews.
I'll just check with him.
TEXT ALER Who's Sion? Why? No reason.
He's on the Headship course with me.
He's sent you a text.
And you've read it! I thought it was my phone.
Why is he texting you at this time of night? It's only six o'clock.
DOORBELL Hiya.
What a lovely surprise.
Come in.
It's your brother.
Michael.
Are you too busy to answer my calls? I hope he's been looking after you.
I couldn't believe it when I heard the news.
Come here.
You're OK now.
I hope you haven't eaten.
I thought we could go out for a meal.
Don't worry, Simon.
I'm paying.
He's not feeling very well.
He didn't want to see me, did he? Sorry.
What's your favourite film? Spiderman 3.
The Sandman.
He isn't as good as Doc Ock.
Spiderman 2? I haven't seen it yet.
I've got it on DVD if you want to borrow it.
What did you watch when you were my age? Oh, um comedies, horror.
One friend had all the Chucky films.
I'm not allowed to watch them.
Quite right too.
I was in trouble when I got caught.
By Mam, was it? Do you fancy watching a film? I've got Ironman 2 Listen, Jac.
I don't think it's a good idea.
Hiya, Gorgeous.
I brought you these.
Do you want some coffee? Don't bother.
Nadine was about to leave.
You don't have to go, bach.
Yes, she does.
Come on, Cinderella.
Haven't you got a ball to go to or something? You need to be careful with her.
I wouldn't be surprised if she has pilfering hands.
She's a friend.
Listen this is what we're going to do.
Have a shower and I'll take you somewhere special.
We can discuss how you can leave that thankless job .
.
and work as a resident artist in the gallery with me.
I want to stay in.
Better still.
I can think of a few ways to put a smile on your face.
Can you just .
.
sit with me? Please? Of course, come here.
Come here.
Is your mother alright? Thanks for the chips.
Gwen? Things are going well.
I started back in work today.
GROUP APPLAUDS I had a few problems with the children .
.
but I did the deep breathing exercises .
.
and I was assertive and strong.
And it worked.
I had some compliments on my hair.
Life as a single woman is working out .
.
and I've started self-defence lessons, so look out! I asked everyone to think of a goal for the future.
To make friends.
I don't just want co-workers.
I want a friend, a real friend.
It's such an odd feeling.
Sometimes, when I think that Emyr has died .
.
it feels like the most natural thing in the world.
He's died.
Then, I can't accept it.
How can I live my life without him? That's awful.
I've just remembered that I've got an appointment.
Don't go.
Please? I know what will make you feel better.
No, thanks.
That's not going to help.
No no, you're right.
I'll make us a cuppa.
What are you doing? Remind me how long are you staying? I don't like that guy.
Who? Sam, or whatever his name is.
Dan.
Yes Dan.
When is he moving out? How was the patient? Fine, thanks.
Can I offer you a lift? You'll be waiting all night for the bus.
Thanks.
This way.
I didn't know you smoked.
I've just started.
I need some practice.
What about a bottle of the Chateau Fontis Boivert 2000? The 2001 is better, but that will do, I suppose.
It's a nice place.
It's a bit flashy.
How's Grug coping with everything? She's fine.
This is a real treat.
What do you fancy? Here we go.
I won't keep you.
You must have some exciting plans for tonight.
Thanks for the lift.
DOORBELL Oh, hi.
I thought Are you busy? No, I've got five minutes.
Come in.
I'm sorry.
I was horrible.
I overreacted.
No, I deserved it.
I don't know when to stop.
Don't put yourself down.
Hey thank you.
Um oh, look.
Which one? That one.
Yes, you're right.
You look great.
Thank you.
He's a lucky guy.
DOORBELL Enjoy yourself.
Thanks.
Hi, come in.
I'm on my way out.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Has someone died? Sit down.
I'll fetch the wine.
You look nice.
Sexy.
Oh! Do you know what I want to do to you? I don't know a lot about you.
Tell me more about Wyn.
Nadine? James? I gave the pitch and to put it briefly Thank goodness.
.
.
I was successful.
Well done.
I can't believe the police aren't pressing charges.
Grug doesn't want to talk about it.
No, I do want to talk about it.
I thought James was with you.
Do you like it? Ems would tell me the truth if he was here now.
He would say that it's rubbish.
I want him to tell me that it's rubbish.
I want him I want him, I want him back.
SHE WAILS I left him with one of the worst classes in the school.
Puss, puss.
Puss, puss, puss, puss, puss.
What do you like or hate? Did you have a good or bad upbringing? Come on.
You've read my script.
It was all there.
I am Alffi.
Yes.
How is all that going? I've given up on it.
The children were hopeless.
Let's slow things down a bit.
We've got all night.
No we can't.
You're upset and we're both drunk.
I'm paying.
I insist.
That's one way to flash your cash.
Simon! No.
Don't, Grug.
Maybe you'd like some time alone? Grow up, Simon.
SOBBING Sara? SOBBING CONTINUES I'm really sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
I'll walk you to a taxi.
I'm not going home yet.
I need some fresh air.
Thanks for listening.
It's been nice to talk.
I've been Come here.
Take care.
I behaved like a two-year-old.
I'm sorry.
Sorry about what? Simon? For behaving like an idiot in front of your brother .
.
or about something else? I'm angry with you, Simon.
Really angry.
We've got problems, haven't we? Do you want to do this or not? Do it? Of course.
Well, you invited me over.
You're dressed like that so I expect I'm not being unreasonable, am I? OK this is the problem.
I love being in your company and everything.
But, so far .
.
I don't feel completely satisfied with So I thought it would enrich our relationship .
.
if we took our time and got to know one another properly.
Have you swallowed a psychology book or something? I haven't had an orgasm with you.
That's the problem with you women.
You always want more.
Wyn? Please, stay.
It's not my fault that you're frigid! Well that went well.
Hey, come in.
Go upstairs.
KNOCK ON DOOR Seren's staying with a friend.
I was worried.
You're not answering your phone.
I've lost it somewhere.
It's been one of those days.
How's the new boyfriend? Like I said it's been one of those days.
Do you want to talk about it? Not really.
I've finally met someone who appeared to be interested in me .
.
and once again, I've managed to ruin it all.
That's his loss.
Drink? Your stomach must be better.
I'm waiting for Mam to come in and say, "Put that back in the freezer.
" "Go and brush your teeth again.
" "This time you're definitely ".
.
grounded.
" She never stuck to her word.
For no more than five minutes.
Was this Dan's room? Why did he leave? Simon's not getting on with him.
Simon's not getting on with anyone at the moment.
Is it anything to do with you? What? Is there something going on between you and Dan? No, of course not.
Beca.
How are you anyway? Fine.
Oh, Bec How many times must I ask her to put her clothes in the linen basket? It sounds simple, doesn't it? You're a good mother.
I worry too much, perhaps.
Yeah, well sorry I can't have her over at the moment but, um .
.
I do have my plans.
Oh, yes? You've got me thinking now.
Do you know what? I feel a lot better.
Thank you.
I should go.
# Do not weep into your hands # I want time to accept your smile # I want time # Before you go # But you have no time # Like a bonfire in the dead of night # As everything falls apart # I want to stay by the fire # You insist on moving on # Do not speak # Those words # I want time # # When I was a year or two younger # And I was a red-cheeked, innocent young lad # I'd go to school like every good little boy # Through fog and rain in the winter and the summer # At school, I had # History lessons, Geography lessons # And English lessons all the time # And one or two lessons in Welsh, fair play # Because I was a little Welshman #
I'm happy to say that the therapy has done her the world of good.

I like your car.
How is Mr Lloyd? We've separated.
Things haven't been right for a while.
I heard about what happened.
It's awful.
You're lucky Daniel was there to save the day.
It wasn't like that.
I didn't mean to upset anyone.
CHEERING AND SHOUTING Penalty! FINAL WHISTLE I wanted to speak to you earlier but the psycho teacher wouldn't let me.
Do you fancy going for chips after school? What? Just I've got money.
My treat.
Great, thanks.
How was the filming? Great.
Alffi's quite a man.
He's a wonderful character and the children love the script What? You do have the parents' consent, don't you? Of course.
Good.
A few days ago .
.
our community faced a terribly tragic event.
Mr Tomos, our co-worker, teacher .
.
and friend .
.
was taken from us in such an unexpected way.
I'm sure most of you .
.
are still trying to come to terms with it all.
Before I move on and speak to you .
.
about Mr Tomos's many attributes and successes .
.
I would like to welcome the pupils of our twin school .
.
Mbomba High.
When they embarked on their journey from faraway Malawi .
.
little did they know that they would be touched by this tragedy.
But their visit comes as a blessing to us all.
Not everyone is aware of this .
.
but Mr Tomos adored African music.
I would like to invite them to sing a tribute .
.
to our beloved lost brother, Mr Emyr Tomos.
CHILDREN SING AFRICAN SONG Hiya, Mam.
Can you call me when you get this message, please? Thanks.
AFRICAN SINGING CONTINUES Beca? Hiya.
I've got a bad stomach.
Has the service finished? Yes.
It's a shame I missed it, but it doesn't matter.
Do you want to get a takeaway later? I'm busy.
SCHOOL BELL Goodbye! Excuse me.
There wasn't a mix-up.
They arrived a week early.
I'd like to thank everyone for their contribution to today's service.
Let Mr Tomos's legacy be a reminder to us all .
.
that life is short.
It's important to make the most of every day.
Thank you, people.
Seren is staying with a friend tonight.
Come over and I'll cook.
Sounds like a good idea.
HOME / WORK HOME He should know that I wouldn't get the dates wrong.
I thought we could go and see Sara.
Dan is with her.
By the way, he didn't get an interview for the job.
I hope he isn't too disappointed.
I bought these to boost your spirits.
She couldn't sleep.
She's gone for a walk.
What's that meant to be? Beca? Has the school driven you nuts too? I've come to see Aneurin, but I don't know The psychiatric unit is over there.
Thank you.
Hi.
Can I leave these for Aneurin Rees, please? Is he expecting you? I didn't think What's your name? Beca Beca Matthews.
I'll just check with him.
TEXT ALER Who's Sion? Why? No reason.
He's on the Headship course with me.
He's sent you a text.
And you've read it! I thought it was my phone.
Why is he texting you at this time of night? It's only six o'clock.
DOORBELL Hiya.
What a lovely surprise.
Come in.
It's your brother.
Michael.
Are you too busy to answer my calls? I hope he's been looking after you.
I couldn't believe it when I heard the news.
Come here.
You're OK now.
I hope you haven't eaten.
I thought we could go out for a meal.
Don't worry, Simon.
I'm paying.
He's not feeling very well.
He didn't want to see me, did he? Sorry.
What's your favourite film? Spiderman 3.
The Sandman.
He isn't as good as Doc Ock.
Spiderman 2? I haven't seen it yet.
I've got it on DVD if you want to borrow it.
What did you watch when you were my age? Oh, um comedies, horror.
One friend had all the Chucky films.
I'm not allowed to watch them.
Quite right too.
I was in trouble when I got caught.
By Mam, was it? Do you fancy watching a film? I've got Ironman 2 Listen, Jac.
I don't think it's a good idea.
Hiya, Gorgeous.
I brought you these.
Do you want some coffee? Don't bother.
Nadine was about to leave.
You don't have to go, bach.
Yes, she does.
Come on, Cinderella.
Haven't you got a ball to go to or something? You need to be careful with her.
I wouldn't be surprised if she has pilfering hands.
She's a friend.
Listen this is what we're going to do.
Have a shower and I'll take you somewhere special.
We can discuss how you can leave that thankless job .
.
and work as a resident artist in the gallery with me.
I want to stay in.
Better still.
I can think of a few ways to put a smile on your face.
Can you just .
.
sit with me? Please? Of course, come here.
Come here.
Is your mother alright? Thanks for the chips.
Gwen? Things are going well.
I started back in work today.
GROUP APPLAUDS I had a few problems with the children .
.
but I did the deep breathing exercises .
.
and I was assertive and strong.
And it worked.
I had some compliments on my hair.
Life as a single woman is working out .
.
and I've started self-defence lessons, so look out! I asked everyone to think of a goal for the future.
To make friends.
I don't just want co-workers.
I want a friend, a real friend.
It's such an odd feeling.
Sometimes, when I think that Emyr has died .
.
it feels like the most natural thing in the world.
He's died.
Then, I can't accept it.
How can I live my life without him? That's awful.
I've just remembered that I've got an appointment.
Don't go.
Please? I know what will make you feel better.
No, thanks.
That's not going to help.
No no, you're right.
I'll make us a cuppa.
What are you doing? Remind me how long are you staying? I don't like that guy.
Who? Sam, or whatever his name is.
Dan.
Yes Dan.
When is he moving out? How was the patient? Fine, thanks.
Can I offer you a lift? You'll be waiting all night for the bus.
Thanks.
This way.
I didn't know you smoked.
I've just started.
I need some practice.
What about a bottle of the Chateau Fontis Boivert 2000? The 2001 is better, but that will do, I suppose.
It's a nice place.
It's a bit flashy.
How's Grug coping with everything? She's fine.
This is a real treat.
What do you fancy? Here we go.
I won't keep you.
You must have some exciting plans for tonight.
Thanks for the lift.
DOORBELL Oh, hi.
I thought Are you busy? No, I've got five minutes.
Come in.
I'm sorry.
I was horrible.
I overreacted.
No, I deserved it.
I don't know when to stop.
Don't put yourself down.
Hey thank you.
Um oh, look.
Which one? That one.
Yes, you're right.
You look great.
Thank you.
He's a lucky guy.
DOORBELL Enjoy yourself.
Thanks.

I'm on my way out.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Has someone died? Sit down.
I'll fetch the wine.
You look nice.
Sexy.
Oh! Do you know what I want to do to you? I don't know a lot about you.
Tell me more about Wyn.
Nadine? James? I gave the pitch and to put it briefly Thank goodness.
.
.
I was successful.
Well done.
I can't believe the police aren't pressing charges.
Grug doesn't want to talk about it.
No, I do want to talk about it.
I thought James was with you.
Do you like it? Ems would tell me the truth if he was here now.
He would say that it's rubbish.
I want him to tell me that it's rubbish.
I want him I want him, I want him back.
SHE WAILS I left him with one of the worst classes in the school.
Puss, puss.
Puss, puss, puss, puss, puss.
What do you like or hate? Did you have a good or bad upbringing? Come on.
You've read my script.
It was all there.
I am Alffi.
Yes.
How is all that going? I've given up on it.
The children were hopeless.
Let's slow things down a bit.
We've got all night.
No we can't.
You're upset and we're both drunk.
I'm paying.
I insist.
That's one way to flash your cash.
Simon! No.
Don't, Grug.
Maybe you'd like some time alone? Grow up, Simon.
SOBBING Sara? SOBBING CONTINUES I'm really sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
I'll walk you to a taxi.
I'm not going home yet.
I need some fresh air.
Thanks for listening.
It's been nice to talk.
I've been Come here.
Take care.
I behaved like a two-year-old.
I'm sorry.
Sorry about what? Simon? For behaving like an idiot in front of your brother .
.
or about something else? I'm angry with you, Simon.
Really angry.
We've got problems, haven't we? Do you want to do this or not? Do it? Of course.
Well, you invited me over.
You're dressed like that so I expect I'm not being unreasonable, am I? OK this is the problem.
I love being in your company and everything.
But, so far .
.
I don't feel completely satisfied with So I thought it would enrich our relationship .
.
if we took our time and got to know one another properly.
Have you swallowed a psychology book or something? I haven't had an orgasm with you.
That's the problem with you women.
You always want more.
Wyn? Please, stay.
It's not my fault that you're frigid! Well that went well.
Hey, come in.
Go upstairs.
KNOCK ON DOOR Seren's staying with a friend.
I was worried.
You're not answering your phone.
I've lost it somewhere.
It's been one of those days.
How's the new boyfriend? Like I said it's been one of those days.
Do you want to talk about it? Not really.
I've finally met someone who appeared to be interested in me .
.
and once again, I've managed to ruin it all.
That's his loss.
Drink? Your stomach must be better.
I'm waiting for Mam to come in and say, "Put that back in the freezer.
" "Go and brush your teeth again.
" "This time you're definitely ".
.
grounded.
" She never stuck to her word.
For no more than five minutes.
Was this Dan's room? Why did he leave? Simon's not getting on with him.
Simon's not getting on with anyone at the moment.
Is it anything to do with you? What? Is there something going on between you and Dan? No, of course not.
Beca.
How are you anyway? Fine.
Oh, Bec How many times must I ask her to put her clothes in the linen basket? It sounds simple, doesn't it? You're a good mother.
I worry too much, perhaps.
Yeah, well sorry I can't have her over at the moment but, um .
.
I do have my plans.
Oh, yes? You've got me thinking now.
Do you know what? I feel a lot better.
Thank you.
I should go.
# Do not weep into your hands # I want time to accept your smile # I want time # Before you go # But you have no time # Like a bonfire in the dead of night # As everything falls apart # I want to stay by the fire # You insist on moving on # Do not speak # Those words # I want time # # When I was a year or two younger # And I was a red-cheeked, innocent young lad # I'd go to school like every good little boy # Through fog and rain in the winter and the summer # At school, I had # History lessons, Geography lessons # And English lessons all the time # And one or two lessons in Welsh, fair play # Because I was a little Welshman #
