Series 3, Episode 2

- You're an idiot.
- No, you're an idiot.
- I called you it first, so - I called you it second, so Apart from my son being born, getting this interview has been the biggest event of my life.
I got it! I got it! Word on the street is business is bad.
We got stiffs coming at us from all over South Wales, haven't we, Daddy? - You've sold it, then? - Moving in tomorrow.
- Oh, what?! - Oh, God.
Not you! And then she smiles And my heart starts beating I go weak inside Shut up! Oh, shut up! Shut up! Oh, for God's sake! Mam! I can't find my straighteners.
In the dirty linen basket! What they doing there?! I hid them from Jack.
Jack was playing with them.
You starting early today, presh? Well, people need pizza 24 hours a day, Mam.
- It's the seventh emergency service.
- Gross.
Ben! Little Alan! You awake yet? She never stops nagging.
It's cos she's on the menopause.
- Why do you smoke? - Stress.
Don't make me come up there, good boy! Ben! Ben!! Oh! Ow! Morning.
Come on, then.
- Why didn't you answer me? - I did.
- You've been smoking! - No, I haven't! Ben, don't insult my bloody intelligence! I can smell it! - Go on - tell her.
- Tell her what?! - It was Little Al.
- What? No, it wasn't! - Serious? - No point denying it, mate.
He's on ten a day.
- Oh, shut up! No, I'm not! - Little Al! I don't believe it! - Stella, I don't smoke, honestly.
- He's stressed he is, Mam.
Cos of his dad and that.
He was crying earlier and then he lit up.
Oh, look, your dad is strong as an egg.
It's only a little health scare.
They'll be letting him out today, you watch.
But smoking is not the answer.
You've got to knock it on the head, presh, before you get addicted.
- You used to smoke.
- Yeah, but I don't any more do I? Because it's stupid and disgusting.
Will someone get that? It'll be Jag, it will.
Oh, this family Coming! Cheers, Little Al.
I owe you one.
- Hiya! - Howdy, howdy.
- You coming in? - No, no.
My niece arrived last night.
We've left her in charge of the shop.
- God help us.
- How's Emma Scissorhands doing? - He's only made that joke four times already today.
- Three times.
Ah, excited she is.
Eh, I saw Sunny the other day on a ward round.
He's proper on the way now, isn't he, to becoming a doctor! - Yes.
We're very proud.
- Yeah.
Me, too.
Proud of Emma, like.
Yes.
Oh, come off it, Stella.
You can't compare being a doctor with being a hairdresser.
Right, let's go shall we, Abhra? People are always going to need medical attention.
We can all survive without haircuts.
Oh, I don't know, Tan.
Them split ends are looking a bit dangerous.
Bye, Abs! That's it.
Aunty Brenda! Jag.
Tan.
Abs.
Now, remember - we keep ourselves to ourselves.
Head down, straight to the car.
If we encounter any natives, don't look them in the eye.
Come on.
Coo-ee! How are you settling in? All right? Not really, no.
I was kept awake all night by someone's dog barking.
Well, don't look at me.
How do you know it was my dog? Some people can recognise birdsong.
I can identify the bark of over 23 different types of canine and that bark came from a Parson Jack Russell male.
Bet you're a fun night out.
I have owned dogs all my life and there's one thing I know.
A noisy dog is not a happy dog.
If it happens again, I'll be informing the RSPCA.
Good day.
- Wish me luck! - Ah, good luck, presh! - Good luck, kid! - Thanks.
Oh, hush now, or Mr Jolly Chops'll have you arrested.
Mr Williams? Dr Hugh Llechwen-Rees ap Lloyd Machynlleth.
- Sorry? - Dr Hugh Llechwen-Rees ap Lloyd Machynlleth.
- All right.
- Well, the good news is you'll be going home later today.
Great.
What's the bad news? You're severely and dangerously overweight.
- Am I? - Yes.
But panic not! I've got you a leaflet! Eh, I couldn't get in the front.
There's a massive queue! I know.
Well, that's a good thing, isn't it? - Don't that mean the special offer've taken off? - Exactly! It've taken off, flown away and spiralled out of control.
They're all in there now, grasping their leaflets and clamouring to be served! I've left Daddy on his own amidst the throng.
- What am I gonna do, Stell? - Bobs, you just got a glut on at the moment, that's all.
It'll pass! And remember there's always some poor bugger worse off than you.
Look at me! I got a horrible bloke moved in next door.
Right narky, sarky sod.
- Have he got a spare room? - What for? Cos I'm looking for somewhere to stick a few stiffs.
- Well, I'm sorry, Daddy, but I can't face it! - Yes, you can.
Daddy, you get back in there and you stem the flow.
Bobs'll be with you now in a minute.
Now, listen here, Bobby Gittins.
You are made of stronger stuff than this.
You can do it.
You just pull yourself up by your G-strings, you get back in there and you undertake like you have never undertaken before.
D'you hear me? - Yes.
Thank you, Stell.
- Mm.
- And you still owe me five quid for these.
- Oh! - So long! - So long.
The till system is pretty complicated and we don't want to frighten you off on your first day, so for now you can start where every great hairdresser starts their career - with a brush in their hand.
Get sweeping! Oh, and Emma? No fucking swearing on the shop floor, OK? And so, when you are accompanying Doctor on his or her ward round, you speak when spoken to and you do your utmost to accommodate his or her requests.
You are the nurse.
He or she is the doctor.
'Twas ever thus be told.
Now.
Can anyone tell me what the hospital protocol is when addressing a surgeon? If everyone could just calm down, we guarantee you will be seen! I've got a dead uncle, 93, and a maiden aunt who's on the wane.
This two for one ' what's the sell-by date? Er, there is no sell by date.
No, there isn't! We at Simpson's promise to pick up where Garrick's have of left off and to honour all their previous customer commitments, as well as our own special offers.
Excuse me.
Barry, love! I been meaning to phone but things have gone mentalistic since Garrick's went under.
You been very quiet, Bobs.
Me and Rhys and me been feeling a bit abandoned! - Is the deal still on, Bobby Jean? - Well, yes, sirree! The deal is still on! Just let me get through this lot and I'll be over to pick them up.
- Half a dozen you said, wasn't it? - No, no.
Six we said.
Six! Have you got the room? Of course we've got the room! I'll be in touch! Oh! So, help me, Daddy, if you say demand outstripping supply one more time I won't be liable for my actions.
Right.
Who's next? Hang on! Back off! I'm still queuing - Blubber Busters? - Aye.
Five pound a week I've got to lose.
- Who said? - Doctor.
Llechwen-Rees ap Lloyd Machynlleth I think he said he thought his name was.
- Oh, I know him.
- Anyway, there's a class tonight up the Brachy.
I thought I'd try it, then see if Little Al will come with me.
Oh, Christ, you know who runs this don't you? Nadine! - Nadine? - She do make a fortune apparently.
Look, I don't care who runs it.
The party's over, Stell.
I've got to get healthy.
Starting with my food.
Pizza for Williams? A Weetabix they give me for breakfast.
A single Weetabix.
Morning.
Michael Jackson, solicitor.
Here to see Lenny Mack.
Straight up.
Who I was when I come in here, ain't the person who'll be walking out of here next month.
I've changed, Mike.
It's Michael and at the risk of sounding like a hardened old cynic, I'm afraid I've heard that a thousand times before.
I've been going to meetings in here.
AA, NA, CA.
I won't ask you what the C stands for.
Anyway, it's changed the way I see things, you know? Don't tell me.
You've found God.
I've found something.
I want Zoe to visit me.
So's I can make my amends to her.
- I was an arsehole and I know that now.
- No comment.
Her mobile's on there and the address.
Pen-Y-Gorlan Street she lives.
Number 23.
- Number 23? - Yeah.
And I want her to bring the kid and all, so's I can make amends to him.

Right, that's er £18.
75, please, boys.
Who's paying? - Well, look who it is.
Pukey Lukey.
- Keckers.
- Did you order these? Who's paying? - Stick 'em on the table.
- Not till you pay me.
- Bonner, stop twatting about and give him the cash.
- Stay out of it, knob head.
- All right, keep your cock on.
Oops.
I dropped it.
Are you going to pick it up? Thought I recognised you, Lukey boy.
You and me have got a mutual friend who's getting out soon and he's really looking forward to seeing you again.
Now jump back on your bumboy scooter and fuck off home to your missus.
Or should I say, his missus.
Sorry.
What, for bumping into me or for sleeping with my wife? Look, this isn't ideal but we've got to work together, so can we just try and behave like grown-ups and get on? Like you've been "getting on" with Jan for the past 18 months behind my back? - Well, that's not very grown up.
- I don't feel very grown up, Andy! Look, it's hard for her, too, you know.
The guilt And the shame.
The person you're calling is unable to take your call.
Please leave your message after the tone.
Hello, erm Zoe! Er, this is Michael Jackson here.

And as you may or may not know, he's due for release shortly and he's asked if you would go visit him before he gets out.
Perhaps you can give me a ring on and we can have a chat.
And you're gonna find this out soon enough but you and I are actually next-door neighbours, so - Hi, Dad.
- Erm, anyway, give me a call.
Bye.
- Katie-bear! - Shut up! Don't call me that in public! What are you doing here? - Nothing wrong is there? - Nope.

Why aren't you at school? If you're absent without permission Er, Jan! Calm down, there's a good egg.

Parvadi, get up off the floor, please.
Aye, well, I wasn't surprised when I heard, Al.
You were a heart attack waiting to happen, if you ask me.
Actually, it wasn't a heart attack, Aunty Brenda.
Just a health scare.
And today is the first day of the rest of my life.

- Seven stone she lost.
- Really? Yeah.

It's just one of them things.
But if you do this See? You got a lovely face and this way your hair frames it better.

Clever girl.
You're wasted as a hairdresser.

Everyone! Can I have your attention, please? Turn off your driers a mo.
I've just had some fantastic news.
The South Wales Valleys Hairdresser of the Year Awards have announced that we have been nominated for Salon of the Year! But, but, but better than that, our very own Marcus Jensen ' my clever husband ' has also been nominated for Hairdresser of the Year.
The awards will take place next week.
All staff will be expected to attend.
Yes, even you, Emma! Thank you very much.
All the best.

Let's me and you talk, Dai Davies.
Cracks in the pavement underneath my shoe I care less and less about And less about you No-one else around to look at me Look around you, Dai.
Pontyberry is crying out for a private bus firm.

It's a gold mine waiting to be happen, Dai, you can surely see that.
Maybe.
But why should I just hand over my vehicle willy nilly? Wake up, mun.

How long you been trying to shift 'em? - The market's a bit slow at the moment.
- Codswallop.
Give me your buses, I'll give you my knowledge.
What I don't know about the coach hire trade simply ain't worth knowing.
You're a difficult woman to turn down, Aunty Brenda.

- I'll give it a six-month trial.
- Yes! Brenda's Buses here we come! Sorry? The Connaught.
Straight off the coffin catwalk.
Them's Cardiff prices, Mr Mason.
I can't see the Pontyberry clientele forking out for a Connaught, even if it is de rigueur.
Very wise, Bobby Jean.
And considering Simpson's is into mass burials these days, you won't be wanting to waste money on something as classy as a Connaught.
I'll take half a dozen when you've got a mo.
Thanks, Perry.
Actually, I hadn't actually made my mind up.
But you've done it for me.
Mr Mason, we'll take ten.
Make it twelve.
Very well.
And I know you won't regret it.
Oh, speak up, for pity's sake! Everyone's worrying about you, BJ.
Get your hands off me! If you feel you've bitten off more than you can chew, you know where I am.
Right, I've saved my pocket money.
I'm doing beef Wellington followed by a damson crumble.
Little Al, you and me need to have a little chat.
Did Stella tell you I was smoking? What are you talking about? - The only thing I've ever smoked is a kipper! - Listen.

Not joining up, are you? Yeah, you've inspired me, you have, Al.

OK.
We're not going to panic.
Cos this is why we're here! Well, that was a revelation.
Clinically obese! Count your lucky stars.
At least you're not morbidly obese.
I never realised things had got so bad.
If you ask me, them scales she was using were on the blink.
The whatyermacall was funny on them cos there's no way I'm that heavy.
Can I just say, I know how much courage it took for you all to come here tonight.
- Thanks.
- When Karl got that job in the Middle East, I thought my whole world had ended.
But I found a reason to live again.
And it's helping fat people like you lose weight.
Christ knows it ain't easy.
But it've given me a purpose in life.
Keeps me going till Karl do come home again.
And I want to thank you for that.
All of you, yeah? Well, I'm going to give it a go.

Well, you can find them sharpish and start paying your way and you can do that by working the buses with me.
No can do.
Sorry, Mam.
Oh, I tell you something and there's no mistaking.
You are your father's daughter, good girl! As lazy as a log and twice as thick! Don't you talk about my father like that.
He was a fucking hero and I miss him, OK? Christ, I miss him.
Well, I don't know why you talking like he's dead all of a sudden! He's still alive and living in Newport! Hey, Aunty Bren.
I don't suppose you're looking for no drivers for your buses, are you? I'm going over Benson's.
- I heard they're looking for casuals.
- All right, presh.
- Good luck butt! Oh, bless him.
D'you want a bit? No, thank you.
I had my 25g portion of bran this morning with 200ml of skimmed milk - and a melon slice.
- Mm.
How you feeling? Absolutely starving.
Enjoyed last night, did you? Well, I wouldn't say enjoyed but it's a real eye opener, you know? - You ought to give it a go, Stell.
- Yeah.
I know I'm putting on.
And I tell you something else.
You were right about the, you know.
- I keep having all these horny dreams.
- Oh! Last night I had sex with Jonathan Ross in a hospital bed.
Oh, fair play, I do like Jonathan Ross.
You wouldn't think he was gay, mind, would you? - Jonathan Ross isn't gay! - Yes, he is! - No, he's not! And I should bloody know! Huh! Could it be any more humiliating? - They just took it away in front of my bare eyes! - Calm down.
- I mean it! You know how much that car means to me! It's the only decent thing I own.
Well, that and the Gibson 12-string.
What's going on?! Jesus! Everyone can hear you! Andy, d'you know what? Why don't you take your squash-playing, polo-shirt-wearing, football-supporting, beer-swilling, paintball-playing, wife-stealing arse back down the corridor and fuck off? You're going to have to get a grip, mate.
Michael, your twelve o'clock's here, Zoe Stewart? Yes! Yes, erm, thank you.
I don't swill beer, Jan.
Please have a seat.
OK, first things first.
The next-door neighbour thing - Luke doesn't know I'm here.
- No.
And I can assure you that any contact we have regarding Lenny will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and professionalism.
I only come here to tell you I ain't seeing him.
Never.
He's very keen to put things right, Zoe.
- You're wasting your time.
- So I've got you a visitor's pass.
OK, nursing can sometimes involve managing distress.
And it's up to you to help patients and families come through their crisis-isses.
Now Mrs Wong by here, have agreed to be in a crisis.
Yes! And I am gonna show you how to manage your basic patient distress.
Right.
Start crying.
OK.
So she's crying.
I've noticed, I'm over.
I'm on the bed, I'm putting the arm around and I'm making the following three points with a clear and calm delivery.
Number one, do not be alarmed.
Number two Hush a minute now.
Number two, is there anyone we can call? Number three, are your personal items safely locked away in your bedside locker? As distress is a perfect pick-pocketing opportunity for any passing opportunist pick-pocket-ers.
Sorry.
Oh, I've got to take this.
It's the school.
- Mobile phones - Hello? - .
