-# Happy birthday to Chester

-# Happy birthday to you #

-Thank you.

-From Catrin, Aaron, Colin and me.

-Lovely.

-You had eight through the post

-as well.

-You're a popular young man.

-I'll put that up for you.

-Did you have any in school?

-Yes, a couple.

-I'm off to see Hannah now.

-I'm off to see Hannah now.

-

-You're not stopping, then?

-I've got a free afternoon

-so I'm going to Bryntirion.

-Oh, right. Don't be too long.

-I'm making a special birthday meal.

-Roast chicken.

-Oh, yes. Alright.

-This is for you and Hannah

-to spend on a special treat...

-..from Colin and me.

-Thanks, Mam, and Col.

-Thanks, Mam, and Col.

-

-Birthday boy.

-Right, see you later. Ta-ra.

-Right, see you later. Ta-ra.

-

-Enjoy yourself.

-Bryntirion!

-I'm fed up of him and Bryntirion.

-Even on his birthday,

-he's gone over there.

-It's Hannah he's interested in,

-not Bryntirion.

-I think Diane's keen

-to have him there.

-You don't think she's nice to him

-just to spite you?

-I do think that sometimes, Colin.

-I've thought of something else too.

-Do you know that photo of Dai?

-We should confront him.

-And say what?

-He has to cancel the Dry January

-scam and pay everyone back.

-Not today, Britt.

-Not on Chester's birthday.

-Colin, this is between me and Dai.

-Phone him and tell him to come here.

-I can't order him to come here.

-Tell him you've got some more

-brewing tips.

-Make sure he comes here

-and then show him the evidence.

-Why me?

-I've got a business to run

-downstairs.

-Please, Colin, at least do this

-one little thing for me.

-Non.

-How's it going today?

-I'm glad you enjoyed

-that venison curry last night.

-Oh, well, after I forgot

-what was in it.

-I've always been squeamish.

-Nonsense.

-I've got something else for you,

-something very special.

-It's the main reason

-I came back to Cwmderi.

-To give you this.

-Do you know what it is?

-A rabbit's foot. It's been

-my loyal companion over the years.

-I want you to have it. It will

-bring you good luck in hospital.

-Take it.

-I hope I won't need luck

-in hospital.

-You can never be sure.

-This will definitely

-take care of you.

-To be honest,

-it's unlucky not to accept it.

-Josh!

-Honestly.

-I had an old friend years ago.

-He went to hospital

-with a burst appendix.

-I'd given him this, but...

-..he hadn't taken it with him.

-What happened to him?

-What happened to him?

-

-He died.

-Not from the appendix but from

-a bug he picked up in hospital.

-But if he'd taken the foot...

-But if he'd taken the foot...

-

-I don't want it.

-Sorry, Josh.

-I don't believe

-in silly superstitions like that.

-Do you want to go now?

-I can do what I want on my birthday

-and I want to take a walk with you.

-Ah, that's nice. Did you hear that?

-Like two budgies on the same swing.

-Romance.

-Right, ready.

-Are you coming back afterwards?

-Are you coming back afterwards?

-

-Yes, probably. Chest?

-Yes.

-You can have your birthday present

-then.

-Thank you. See you later, then.

-Hiya, Col.

-What can I do for you?

-Well, we could discuss that, yes.

-Right, see you in a minute, OK?

-So long.

-That was Colin.

-Look.

-There's a new Chinese takeaway

-in Cwrtmynach.

-He wanted to discuss tiles

-around the bath in the bathroom.

-Oh, right.

-It would be nice for us

-and Hannah tonight.

-And Chester can join us

-for a birthday celebration.

-A treat for him.

-I thought you were seeing Colin.

-I thought you were seeing Colin.

-

-I am.

-He doesn't live in the garden.

-I'm wanted to go into the garage.

-I've got some Oxford Blue tiles.

-I bet he'd be interested in those.

-I should have been more considerate.

-If you didn't like seeing

-a piece of venison...

-..you wouldn't be too fond

-of a rabbit's foot either.

-I wasn't scaremongering

-with that story.

-Hospitals have changed so much

-since then.

-I just don't want to go

-for the operation...

-..carrying something like that.

-No, you don't.

-But I remembered

-that I had something else.

-This.

-It's got nothing to do

-with dead animals this time.

-Elderflower balm.

-It's guaranteed

-to give you pleasant dreams.

-Use it the night before

-the treatment.

-Please, Josh.

-I don't need that either.

-I don't need elderflower balm

-and I don't want to rely on luck.

-Miss, I'm happy to see you.

-We've all been talking about you

-this week.

-All the girls in the sixth form

-think you're a lege.

-We've got a card for you.

-Thank you, Hannah.

-Do you know that wall

-of photos of people we admire?

-Yes.

-There's a photo of you on display...

-..with Beyonce, Ellie Simmonds,

-Ariana Grande, Malala, and now you.

-Well, that's lovely.

-I just wanted you to know.

-Thank you.

-Britt's not in, is she?

-Britt's not in, is she?

-

-No.

-I'm glad you phoned, Col.

-You know me well, don't you?

-A successful local businessman...

-..who is always looking

-to make some extra money.

-And I think you're right, you see.

-With your expertise, we can easily

-set up a micro-brewery in Cwmderi.

-I've been reading about it

-on the Internet.

-Look. I've brought you some bottles

-of Mathew's wine as well.

-I wasn't expecting you

-to bring anything with you.

-No, we need to look after

-each other, don't we?

-And I hope that you understand

-this Dry January business.

-Oh, yes, I do.

-Don't sit down.

-Fetch us a glass each

-so that we can start to work out...

-..how we're going to make

-serious money.

-There we are.

-Right...

-..down the hatch, as they say.

-Cheers...

-..and every success

-to the master brewer.

-Don't worry,

-I'm not following you around.

-Well, not after today anyway.

-Well, not after today anyway.

-

-What do you mean?

-A time comes when a traveller

-has to pack up and move on.

-I'll be gone by tonight.

-Me and my silly superstitions.

-But I want to apologize to you

-and wish you well.

-Josh. Just the man

-I wanted to see.

-And you, Non.

-I want to arrange

-an outing on Saturday.

-Everyone to go to Pembrey

-or Llansteffan or somewhere...

-..walk along the beach and stop for

-a drink and a meal on the way home.

-The whole family, before you

-and I go into hospital on Tuesday.

-That's a good idea, Mark.

-I won't be there,

-but I'll be thinking of you both...

-..and waiting to hear

-that everything has gone well.

-Goodbye.

-What was all that about?

-I'm not sure.

-He tried to give me

-some silly old items.

-A rabbit's foot

-and some elderflower balm.

-I refused to take them.

-That might be what upset him.

-It's his way of trying to help.

-I had no idea he'd react like that.

-I'll go after him.

-Leave him for now. I'm sure

-he won't leave this second.

-Well, he'd better not or Mam

-and Debs will be angry with him.

-Organizing an outing might not

-be such a good idea after all.

-Goodness me.

-This is making my eyes water.

-Not that there's much water in it,

-judging by the kick.

-It's definitely got something.

-Right, I had better stop or I won't

-be able to walk straight...

-..and I'll have to hide

-for the rest of the day.

-Crikey Moses!

-Where can I put these?!

-In the cupboard.

-Oh!

-Oh, no. I was supposed to

-put this in the oven.

-Dai!

-Oh, no!

-It's become a spatchcock chicken!

-That's Chester's birthday supper.

-Yeah. It might get its shape back

-when we roast it.

-Right, I had better go.

-It's like a rhinoceros

-has stood on it.

-Well, I don't know what

-I can offer Chester now.

-It was Dai's fault.

-It was Dai's fault.

-

-Dai?!

-Oh...

-..he'll get his comeuppance,

-I'm telling you.

-Did you tell him

-about the photo we've got?

-Oh, um, no. I didn't get a chance.

-Didn't get a chance?

-Well, I was... I still think...

-..that the timing is a bit awkward.

-What if Chester and Hannah realize

-that it's becoming a war...

-..between us and Bryntirion?

-There's going to be a war

-between you and me in a minute.

-Chester's special dinner

-has been spoiled...

-..and you're absolutely legless!

-Happy birthday.

-That will pay for your driving

-licence and theory test.

-Wow.

-Imagine what we could do

-with wheels. Thanks, Mam-gu.

-And there's something else.

-On top of this?

-On top of this?

-

-You can have a day to remember.

-I've just given Chester 100.

-I've just given Chester 100.

-

-100?!

-I really appreciate it, Dai.

-And I was going to tell you

-about the other part of the present.

-We're going to have a meal from the

-new Chinese tonight. It delivers.

-A lovely spread.

-A lovely spread.

-

-Yum!

-Mam's making supper.

-Well, you'd better check

-what she has to offer first.

-I've ordered now. And I've got

-the tofu you like, Hannah.

-Thank you, Mam-gu, but...

-Thank you, Mam-gu, but...

-

-We have to give Mam a chance.

-Come on, Han. Thank you.

-Did you have to give him 100?

-We said we'd pay for his driving

-licence and theory test.

-I didn't think it would cost

-that much.

-You might as well have

-bought him a car!

-I could swear I smell alcohol.

-Oh... It's turps.

-Colin was washing brushes

-in the bathroom.

-I'd better get spruced up.

-Well, that was a waste

-of eight pounds...

-..thanks to Dai Ashurst's

-big elephant feet.

-I'll think of something

-to replace it.

-The shops are closed. I'm not

-buying a takeaway from Cwm Delhi.

-Catrin can have a pizza

-from the freezer, I suppose.

-But I don't know what you,

-me and Aaron are going to have.

-We'll just have to let Chester down.

-Let me down on my birthday?

-Sorry, love...

-..Dai and Colin have spoiled

-your dinner.

-Yes, um...

-..the chicken fell on the floor

-and Dai stepped on it.

-That's hilarious.

-Isn't it just!

-I'll treat us to fish and chips

-with all the trimmings.

-I've grown up

-having free chips from the shop.

-We can go back to Bryntirion.

-There's a Chinese takeaway for us.

-Oh, that's Mam-gu's present.

-A Chinese takeaway.

-At least I'd planned to cook

-something for you, Chester.

-She's given me 100 too.

-She's given me 100 too.

-

-One hundred pounds?

-I'll text Mam-gu now.

-Yes, OK.

-Sorry, Mam.

-Well...

-..what a blinking nerve!

-She's hijacked the birthday...

-..and now she's hijacked my son.

-There's nothing we can do now,

-is there?

-We're going over there.

-Dai spoiled our dinner...

-..so he and Diane can give us some

-of the takeaway to make up for it.

-We can't go over

-and take their Chinese meal.

-Go and fetch Aaron.

-We're going to have a big feed

-on Diane...

-..and we're going to enjoy

-every mouthful.

-I much prefer black bean tofu

-to chicken and gravy.

-Mam would have made you

-something vegan.

-Now, this is my favourite.

-Oh, crispy beef!

-Pass the chopsticks, Dai.

-DAI BURPS

-You've been doing that

-all afternoon.

-And why are you eating

-all those mints?

-Well, this Dry January

-has given me...

-..some new cravings.

-Well, stop it, or it will be like

-having a picnic on Krakatoa.

-Come in.

-Hello.

-We're about to eat.

-I know. That's why we're here.

-Well, you must have heard...

-..that he ruined

-our special dinner for Chester.

-What?

-I didn't. Colin's chicken

-fell on the floor and I stood on it.

-These things happen.

-To some people!

-You're not hoping to eat with us?

-We are.

-We are.

-

-There's only room for four.

-Don't worry,

-we'll eat on our laps on the sofa.

-We only need three plates.

-Look, Aaron, crispy beef.

-You like that, don't you?

-So do I.

-Mmm.

-Here you are.

-I thought last night's curry

-would stretch to a few meals for me.

-I brought the cheese too.

-I brought the cheese too.

-

-Don't go, Josh.

-No, I have to go.

-I'm no good to you.

-I'm in the way more than anything.

-That's not true.

-Family is very important

-and I've realized that.

-This treatment has everyone worried

-and I thought I could help...

-..but I always make matters worse.

-If you want to help, don't leave.

-I know that Mark needs everyone

-around him to be happy.

-That helps him more than anything.

-It will help you too.

-You haven't gone yet, then.

-I've told him to stay.

-I've told him to stay.

-

-I might reconsider.

-But it would give me peace of mind

-if one of you took this.

-I'll keep it safe for you.

-Thank you.

-If you promise to stay,

-I'll take the elderflower balm.

-You obviously enjoyed that, Britt.

-Yes. The wine's lovely too.

-What is it?

-Sauvignon blanc.

-It's a bit different to the plonk

-you're used to.

-Oh, aye. It's a shame you

-can't drink, Dai.

-You're halfway through

-your Dry January.

-Don't have a dig at Dai!

-Stop it. You're here to celebrate

-Chester's birthday.

-Don't make it worse.

-The nicest present you could

-give Chester is to be nice.

-I won't say another word, then.

-I'll go and check that Catrin

-enjoyed her pizza...

-..and you can get back

-to your hobby, Colin.

-Photography.

-I'm sure you'll all get to see

-his latest photos...

-..on what is sure to be

-a memorable event, let me tell you.

-Goodnight.

-Thanks, Diane.

-What was that supposed to mean?

-Does anyone know what goes on in

-Britt Monk's head? I've got no idea!
