-I think I may have found someone.

-You have to give up that work

-with the homeless.

-Let them sort out their own lives.

-Sitting down with a counsellor

-worked for my husband and me.

-We got everything out.

-Your father. He's not coping!

-I had your sob story last night.

-Nuts mother, pushover dad.

-The undertaker.

-Rhodri killed himself, Myf.

-They found his stuff by the river

-three years ago.

-What else did I say?

-What else did I say?

-

-Just... stuff.

-What happened to your husband?

-I don't like talking about it.

-Are you missing?

-I know there are people who say

-they want to know where we are.

-But are they better off without us?

-But are they better off without us?

-

-See you again?

-Not if I see you first.

-That's what my wife used to say.

-It was our little joke.

-Not so funny any more, is it?

-LIFE AFTER DIVORCE

-Meeting every Thursday 7-8pm

-I forgot. Sorry.

-If you say so.

-If you say so.

-

-I did!

-Do you know how much

-these counsellors charge?

-Dr and Mrs Daniels.

-Myf!

-Myf!

-

-Oh.

-What?

-Elain works with me

-in the soup kitchen.

-Shall I arrange

-for you to see someone else?

-Yes, please.

-Yes, please.

-

-No.

-Terwyn.

-Terwyn.

-

-We're here now.

-It's no problem for me

-if you don't mind.

-See?

-Your friend is alright about it.

-Well, we're all adults, aren't we?

-Come on.

-Sorry.

-SHE PLAYS UKULELE

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Aren't you ready yet?

-Aren't you ready yet?

-

-For what?

-We have a seminar.

-We have a seminar.

-

-I'm not going.

-Why not?

-Why not?

-

-I'm in the middle of something. OK?

-Strumming a ukulele in your pyjamas?

-You're so weird.

-Thank you.

-We are paying for this course,

-you know.

-From what Terwyn said on the phone,

-you decided to divorce a while back.

-But it's been difficult for you

-to move things on.

-Yes, it has been.

-Do you think there's a reason

-for that?

-I think Myfanwy

-is a little bit in denial.

-I'm not!

-I'm not denying

-it's going to happen, Terwyn.

-It's difficult to accept...

-..that we weren't able

-to save the relationship.

-Did you want to save it, Myfanwy?

-I don't know.

-I don't know.

-

-Oh, come on, Myf.

-If you wanted to save

-our relationship...

-..you would have done it

-a long time ago.

-She left me.

-It's not that simple.

-I'd been ill.

-Terwyn, I sense that you feel

-this is Myfanwy's fault.

-Well, there are several people

-to blame.

-Like who?

-Like who?

-

-There was... someone else.

-Did you have a relationship?

-No. I did.

-Well, not really, did I?

-He's still around.

-Does this other person

-live with you, Myfanwy?

-No.

-He's...

-..living with me.

-Right.

-No, no, no problem at all, bach.

-OK, you look after yourself now,

-Mrs Peterson.

-Yes. So long.

-What on earth...?

-We are doing the right thing,

-aren't we?

-It's not my job to say what's right.

-I'm only here to help you with

-the things that are going to happen.

-Well, thank you.

-It's been very productive.

-Don't you think so, Myf?

-Don't you think so, Myf?

-

-Yes.

-Right, on with the paperwork.

-Myf, are you coming?

-Um... yes.

-In a minute. I'll catch up with you.

-Don't be long.

-I have stuff for you to sign.

-Thank you again, Elain.

-Thank you again, Elain.

-

-Nice to meet you, Terwyn.

-Elain?

-Who's this?

-Who's this?

-

-Why are you asking?

-I thought I'd seen him

-somewhere before.

-I don't think so.

-I don't think so.

-

-Is he related to you?

-Myf, you heard what Terwyn said.

-You have things you need to sort.

-Go after him.

-Thank you.

-Terwyn, I'm sorry.

-She's my friend and I wanted to

-ask her about something.

-For once, can you concentrate on us?

-Just us?

-I'm sorry. I am trying.

-What do you want me to do?

-There are a couple of things

-from the bank we both need to sign.

-To close the joint account.

-To close the joint account.

-

-Do we need to close it?

-Yes, we do.

-You know about me and paperwork.

-Come back to the house

-and we'll sort it.

-Are you sure?

-We started this together.

-We may as well finish it together.

-We don't put people's names on these

-before they die, do we?

-Prepaid cremations, Eurig.

-Yes, well. Sometimes,

-the family changes their mind.

-They want a burial instead.

-If you've signed the contract,

-sorry... puff... up you go.

-These two are from Eden Hills

-old people's home.

-What are you suggesting exactly?

-Well...

-Sorry.

-I've come to collect Gaynor's bill.

-I can come back.

-I can come back.

-

-No, you carry on.

-We've finished, haven't we?

-Yes.

-Elain, how are you? Come with me.

-How is Gaynor?

-Oh, up and down.

-Don't forget to tell her

-that there's no rush at all...

-..to pay that bill.

-But this says it should be paid

-within seven days.

-Seven days?

-Honestly, I don't think

-she has a heart.

-This isn't how I used to run things.

-Don't worry.

-I'll help Gaynor to sort it.

-So, you used to run the company.

-I was the boss.

-That's a long time ago now.

-So what changed?

-So what changed?

-

-Well...

-That's a really long story.

-They're my favourite stories.

-And just here.

-Have you heard from Gwens at all?

-One email to say

-she was still alive.

-Do you think I should pop over

-to see her tonight?

-I'm going down there anyway.

-She might have better things to do

-than hang out with her mother!

-Right, there we are.

-Finished.

-One fewer thing to worry about.

-Great. Thank you.

-Right, well...

-I'll go now.

-Terwyn?

-Terwyn?

-

-Yes?

-It wasn't all bad, was it?

-No.

-Hello?

-Hiya. How are you?

-This evening?

-I'm not sure,

-my day's been rather...

-..busy.

-What about tomorrow night?

-Oh, well, if tonight's

-the only possibility...

-Yes, yes, fine.

-I'll see you there.

-Bye.

-Right, I'll go back to the deli.

-No, I'm going. I have to sort out

-food for christening tomorrow.

-You stay here.

-You stay here.

-

-This isn't really my scene.

-Plus, they all think

-that we're her grandparents.

-Well, I will correct them.

-Well, I will correct them.

-

-Oksana!

-Excuse me.

-I'm Oksana.

-I'm the mother of this baby.

-Elfed is her father.

-We are mature parents.

-This man is surprisingly virile

-for his age.

-He has enough sperm

-for whole village.

-I know I shouldn't have done it

-but it didn't feel wrong.

-It needed to be done.

-To get it out of my system.

-My dear Myfanwy....

-Do you have any idea what's going on

-in the world right now?

-I think our Almighty Lord

-has better things to think about...

-..than your little problem.

-Do you mind? I'm in the middle

-of a private chat.

-Sleeping with your own husband

-isn't a sin, is it?

-It wasn't right.

-Well, it sounded to me

-as if you understood each other.

-That's what I'd say.

-Are you just getting up?

-I didn't have time for a shower

-this morning, so...

-Would you take Gwern out for dinner

-for me tonight?

-There isn't much food here

-and I have to go out.

-Yes, no problem. I'll take him

-to the pub. I fancy a pint.

-Why? Where are you going?

-Um...

-Date.

-Hey! There's no stopping you,

-Terwyn!

-# My young soul is so empty

-# My hands

-# I saw you dancing

-# Like fools in the fair

-# Looking at each other

-without saying a word

-# I saw you looking #

-OK, well, phone me back

-when you get this message.

-I might call in later to see you

-if that's OK with you.

-OK? Ta-ra, bach.

-Hiya.

-Hiya, Myf.

-Can you fetch a tray?

-You know what happened last time.

-This morning wasn't awkward at all.

-This morning wasn't awkward at all.

-

-Don't worry about it, Myf.

-I deal with that sort of thing

-all the time.

-It was a big help.

-I hope you were nice to him

-afterwards.

-Yes! I was very nice.

-Hi, Steven. What can I get you?

-Hi, Steven. What can I get you?

-

-Soup, please.

-I don't want to be late.

-You can have one, surely. Come on.

-What do you want to drink?

-Um... lager top?

-He can have the top,

-I'll have the lager.

-Two pints of lager and a lemonade.

-Thanks.

-I'll put some music on.

-Take this with you.

-No. It's fine. I'll pay for Gwern.

-A little something to say thanks

-for putting a roof over my head.

-There's no need.

-There's no need.

-

-You've been very kind, fair play.

-Especially considering...

-..well, things could have been

-very awkward between us.

-Eurig...

-Eurig...

-

-Let me finish.

-You've been a really good friend.

-Alright?

-Thanks.

-For you.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

-Well...

-Are you going to tell me then?

-Who is she?

-Oh. Um...

-Sheridan.

-Are you joking?

-Are you joking?

-

-No.

-Bloody hell, Terwyn.

-Good luck, man.

-He was asleep next to the jukebox.

-I was trying to get her to sleep.

-It worked.

-It worked.

-

-BLOD CRIES

-For a while.

-Well done.

-You're actually really good.

-How was the seminar?

-Fine. They asked where you were.

-That was a nice thing to do.

-That was a nice thing to do.

-

-I don't want it.

-I can't work you out.

-I can't work you out.

-

-Don't try then.

-Drink? I'm gasping.

-Skint.

-Skint.

-

-We'll buy a cheap bottle on the way.

-We'll drink it until we pass out.

-How does that sound?

-Great.

-You go if you want.

-I was planning to pop in

-to see Gwenlli on the way home.

-Do you think you should text her

-first?

-Just in case.

-Just in case.

-

-In case of what?

-Myf! She's young.

-She's enjoying herself.

-I know I'd like to be

-that age again!

-Nothing to worry about.

-That boy in the photograph, Myf.

-He's my little brother.

-Was.

-What happened?

-He disappeared. Went out for a ride

-on his bike and never came back.

-Did you find out what...?

-One minute, he was there,

-the next, he wasn't.

-I had no idea.

-He was the youngest.

-The baby of the family.

-He was so easy-going.

-Always so happy

-going off on his own.

-It's never made sense to me

-how we lost him like that.

-What was his name?

-Dafydd.

-Where are you when I need you,

-Dafydd?

-There you go, Elfed. Magic touch.

-Oh. I'd better think about going.

-Did she ask you out?

-I bet she did.

-Can you do me a big favour, Terwyn?

-I have a couple of things

-I was supposed to buy...

-..but the shops around here

-will be closed now.

-I'm going out for a meal,

-not to the shops.

-You could pop into one of those

-24-hour places on your way back.

-He might not be coming back, Elfed.

-I am coming back.

-How can men still have babies

-when they're old like Tad-cu...

-..but women can't?

-Because nature wanted men to suffer.

-Elfed, you don't really expect me

-to buy nipple shields, do you?

-Sheridan might have

-some nipple shields.

-Mam!

-Hiya, bach.

-You didn't answer your phone.

-You don't mind that I'm here,

-do you?

-Um... no.

-Mam, this is Mel, my friend.

-Mel - Mam.

-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

-

-You too.

-Have you been playing somewhere?

-Have you been playing somewhere?

-

-Just a bit of busking.

-Oh. I'd love to hear you sometime.

-Gwens, don't I get a cwtch?

-Let's go inside.

-Once the new site is ready,

-we hope to be able to expand again.

-If everything works out, we'll have

-control of the entire area.

-Every funeral director in the region

-will come under us.

-You won't persuade them all

-to sell though.

-We persuaded Eurig.

-Sorry. Hark at me!

-What do you do when

-you're not working, Sheridan?

-I never stop working.

-You must have some hobby.

-Well... I enjoy having a bath.

-Having a bath?

-It's the only place where I don't

-have to think about anything.

-I'm just completely free.

-Yes, but it's not really a hobby.

-Having a wash.

-No. Maybe not.

-Your friend seems nice.

-Mel? Yes, she's cool.

-Everything's much easier

-when you click with someone.

-I suppose.

-Why don't you invite her back

-for the christening this weekend?

-I don't know.

-I don't think it would be her thing.

-OK. You know best.

-It would be nice

-to hear some decent music.

-Oksana's threatening to bring back

-the girls from Hungary to sing.

-Is everything OK?

-Is everything OK?

-

-Yes, Mam.

-Are the lectures good?

-They're fine.

-Why do I get the impression there's

-something you're not telling me?

-Because you're paranoid, Mam.

-We never hear from you.

-Did you phone home every day

-when you were at uni?

-We didn't have phones back then.

-I'm just trying to find my feet.

-Make friends, work out who I am.

-Stuff like that.

-Typical flaky student really.

-You do understand, don't you?

-Of course I do.

-I just miss my little girl.

-I haven't been a little girl

-for a while.

-I know.

-Did the counselling go well?

-Better than expected.

-So, do you and your former husband

-still speak at all?

-No, not much.

-Do you have children?

-No. There was never time

-for anything like that.

-Right.

-More wine?

-More wine?

-

-No, I'm driving.

-All the more for me then!

-I'm sorry there wasn't enough money

-in your account.

-Things have been a bit tight lately.

-Things have been a bit tight lately.

-

-It's OK, Mam. I'll find a job.

-I don't want you to have to do that.

-All students do it.

-It's no big deal.

-I'm supposed to support you.

-Along with your father.

-Mam, you seriously

-need to divorce now.

-Yes, I know.

-We have started the process.

-Don't stress out about it, OK?

-Gwern and I will be fine.

-There are lots of more

-dysfunctional families than us!

-We're quite normal, really.

-Just another statistic.

-I thought I was coming over

-to give you advice.

-Do you want to come back with me

-tonight?

-Save you getting the bus tomorrow.

-Save you getting the bus tomorrow.

-

-Mel and I are going for a drink.

-I'll see you tomorrow. OK?

-Take this for the bus tomorrow.

-Goodnight, bach.

-Goodnight, Mam.

-Thank you for tonight, Terwyn.

-It was a nice evening.

-Yes.

-Would you like to come back

-to my place for a drink?

-I have something on tomorrow, so...

-Another time maybe.

-But I wouldn't be much of a

-gentleman if I didn't walk you home.

-I thought you lived in the city.

-I thought you lived in the city.

-

-I do. I live here.

-Are you serious?

-I have a special arrangement

-with them.

-A temporary one?

-If you work hard

-and you're never home...

-..what's the point

-of having a big house to care for?

-I have everything I need here.

-A swimming pool, room service

-and someone to clean my room.

-Clean sheets every night.

-It's a bit clinical.

-I think I'd use the word neutral.

-That's how I like things.

-No history, no memories.

-Right.

-Well, I've promised to pick

-something up for someone...

-..on the way back, so I'd better go.

-I'll phone you.

-Yes, I'd like that.

-Listen, sorry if I

-wasn't good company tonight.

-I've had a crazy day.

-Maybe you could come over next time.

-My place isn't quite as posh

-Not at all but how did you know...?

-Someone told me.

-Rhodri told me.

-Don't open crisps yet.

-They're like paper.

-Oh, for goodness' sake, Oksana.

-I can't do anything right, can I?

-We're doing the right thing

-getting her baptized her, aren't we?

-You said we should do it.

-Myfanwy wanted us to.

-Perhaps she's right. What if, when

-I couldn't bear us

-Ah. You did come home last night

-How did it go?

-Alright.

-Well, not great, really.

-I told you so.

-Did you discuss the business at all?

-A little bit.

-There's something going on.

-I don't trust her.

-What time is the christening today?

-Well, I'm not sure if I should go.

-I was going to ask

-if Gwern could come with you.

-Surely you have more right

-to be there than me.

-This baby's not really part

-of the same family as me.

-If Myf and I are getting divorced,

-we have to start acting that way.

-Yes?

-Sorry, I'd better wake up Gwern.

-Sorry, I'd better wake up Gwern.

-Would you rather I didn't come?

-No.

-I'm just making a fuss

-Sorry, we'll all go.

-I'm sure it'll be fine.

-Good.

-I have seen him.

-More than once.

-No, Rhodri is dead.

-He's alive, Clare.

-He wants to see you.

-No.

-This can't be true.

-Myfanwy.

-Rhodri is dead.

-He must be dead. He must be.

-This doesn't mean anything.

-Maybe I should leave you alone.

-Yes.

-Go.

-Please.

-This is my number.

-If you want to talk.

-I can't believe you're actually

-coming to this christening.

-I've written a song now.

-It would be rude not to sing it.

-Plus I want to meet your family.

-Do you? Really?

-We're mates, aren't we?

-That's what mates do.

-I suppose so.

-Shall we stop off

-to buy some bubbles?

-Tad-cu always has plenty of bubbles!

-Hello.

-Nice to see you.

-Nice to see you.

-

-How are you, Myf?

-Hiya, Mam.

-That's a very practical present.

-Elfed asked me to buy them.

-Hey! Welcome.

-Welcome. Hey, Blod.

-Go through.

-Ah! Welcome.

-Welcome.

-Welcome.

-

-Are you alright, Dad?

-Perfect.

-Perfect.

-Who cares what the baby's doing

-as long as he sleeps!

-Men!

-Here you are.

-No-one ever remembers the mother!

-Thank you, Myfanwy.

-Come through.

-What's the matter?

-I've done something really stupid.

-You worry too much

-about the little things.

-I slept with Terwyn.

-Well that is stupid.

-When?

-Gwenlli.

-Welcome home.

-This is Mel.

-Thank you for coming.

-I hate smoking at a christening.

-They know what you're like.

-No-one smokes any more.

-Blinking nuisance.

-It used to be good for you. Smoking.

-Are you alright?

-Yes. Why?

-Just thinking that

-you might be trying to avoid me.

-Don't be soft.

-You haven't changed at all.
