-I'm Ifan Jones Evans.

-Over the coming weeks,

-teams of three farmers...

-..will battle and compete

-for the title, and an amazing prize.

-It's not only the title

-that the farmers will win...

-..but also this monster,

-the Isuzu D-Max Yukon.

-It's worth over 25,000...

-..and insurance from the Farmers'

-Union Of Wales Insurance Services.

-The runners-up also win a prize.

-A week's holiday in a luxurious

-self-catering cottage in Ceredigion.

-It's donated by Neuadd Farm

-Cottages, New Quay.

-Before the competing

-starts for real...

-..in Coleg Cambria's

-Llysfasi site near Ruthin...

-..the journey began

-in the summer...

-..at the Royal Welsh Show,

-Llanelwedd.

-But a competition needs judges.

-And one isn't enough.

-We have three

-brand new judges this time.

-Our experts are Wyn Morgan, Richard

-Tudor and Caryl Gruffydd Roberts.

-They'll decide who goes

-through to the next round...

-..and win the title and Isuzu.

-How does it feel to be

-a Fferm Ffactor judge?

-It's going to be interesting.

-Years ago, I wanted to compete.

-But it's better

-this side of the fence!

-Richard Tudor

-is a beef and sheep farmer...

-..from Abermagwr, near Aberystwyth.

-It was a great honour to be

-chosen to be a Fferm Ffactor judge.

-I've judged beef, sheep

-and pigs with the YFC.

-As the Llanilar football

-team manager, I observe footballers.

-I can judge any person

-on any subject.

-I look forward

-to meeting the contestants.

-I want to find the best team

-for Fferm Ffactor 2015.

-It's harder to judge

-a team than an individual.

-An individual can be strong or weak.

-A team can have a weak link

-or one outstanding member.

-How are we going to solve that?

-Teamwork will be all-important.

-Wyn Morgan is a lecturer at

-Harper Adams Agricultural College...

-..in Shropshire.

-I'm a lecturer.

-I teach farm management in Harper.

-I've taught other subjects,

-including animal husbandry.

-It's nice to see students developing

-from the first to the last year.

-That gives me a kick.

-It's a privilege to be a judge.

-I watched the series

-but never thought I'd be a judge.

-I'm excited about the competition.

-Will there be rivalry

-between the teams?

-Will they argue and bicker?

-Caryl Gruffydd Roberts

-from the Conwy Valley...

-..now lives and works

-in Aberystwyth.

-She's Head of Marketing

-and Membership at the FUW.

-In my job with the FUW...

-..I'm involved with

-farmers' everyday problems.

-I don't get my hands dirty.

-The paperwork they have to do

-is just as important.

-I'm looking forward to keeping

-an eye on the contestants...

-..and being the first female judge.

-That's exciting and will hopefully

-provide a different dimension.

-I can keep an eye on the other two.

-We have different

-skills and strengths.

-I'll concentrate on

-the business and paperwork side...

-..how farmers promote their produce.

-What are your strengths?

-The more practical side.

-I've done a lot of stock judging

-with Young Farmers.

-You're a farmer.

-So it's natural for you.

-I'm looking forward to see...

-..how they cope

-in different situations.

-Knowledge is my strength...

-..how they find

-and share it as a team.

-I can help them develop

-their skills.

-Here we go!

-We've seen the prize

-and met the judges.

-All that's left to do

-is meeting the contestants.

-These are the teams who will compete

-for the title and prize.

-Only three teams competed in their

-first challenge at the Royal Welsh.

-Let's meet the teams

-competing for the Honda bike...

-..in front of a large audience

-in the Cattle Ring.

-To start, please welcome Team Carys!

-I'm Carys Owens.

-I live in Manor, St Clear's.

-Rhys is my eldest son

-and Aeron is my husband.

-I have two other sons,

-Iwan and Aled.

-We're dairy farmers.

-We keep pigs, too.

-I farmed as soon as I was

-out of nappies. It's hard work.

-It's what I want to do.

-I want to do my best.

-I'm 16.

-Dad works me and my brothers hard.

-He's a slave-driver!

-On the farm,

-I do all the tractor work.

-I mow the silage.

-I'm interested in machines.

-In my spare time,

-I help a contractor...

-..to earn some extra money.

-I consider one of my strengths

-to be organizing the boys!

-My mother is a nice woman.

-She feeds me every night.

-She's quite good.

-Rhys occasionally listens.

-If it's a task he enjoys,

-he's off like a shot!

-If it's not to his liking,

-he drags his feet.

-I don't like handling the sheep.

-They're not very nice animals.

-I'm not sure if I'm competitive.

-We'll see during the programme.

-The rest of my family are!

-I'm a member of St Clear's YFC.

-I compete a lot with the club.

-We'll try our best.

-If the task suits us,

-we'll give it 100%.

-We're the Number One team.

-We'll win Fferm Ffactor!

-Next, please welcome Team Eldon.

-There are only two here today,

-Eldon and Rhun.

-Arwel is the third member. They're

-cousins from the Llandudno area.

-I'm Eldon Thomas.

-Here are my cousins,

-Rhun Jones and Arwel Thomas.

-I can talk a lot.

-Too much sometimes.

-Eldon is my second cousin.

-Rhun is related to Eldon

-so he's related to me.

-I've been married for...

-..about...

-Oh-oh!

-..sixteen years.

-We have two children,

-Dafydd and Hannah.

-We have dairy cows, Texel sheep

-and beef. Dafydd is good with sheep.

-Hannah likes to shop.

-She takes after her mother.

-I was raised in an area

-that does a lot of milking.

-I live in Yorkshire. My girlfriend's

-father is a pig farmer.

-He needs the help,

-with five daughters.

-I enjoy it there, but it's nice

-to come home and see everyone.

-Rhun is a bit younger, so he can

-run round and carry heavy loads.

-Arwel is a contractor.

-A driving task would suit him.

-I'll tell them what to do!

-It's nice to work with family.

-I like to think

-we can get on with a job.

-We'll do our best

-and see how it goes.

-I think we have a good balance.

-It'd be great to win and put North

-Wales and Penrhyn Bay on the map.

-We have a good chance.

-Look at the team we've got!

-Everyone wants to win.

-I wouldn't like to say

-we will, though.

-Coming up, the rest of the teams.

-Who will compete for the quad...

-..on Fferm Ffactor,

-No!

-Yes!

-Yes!

-

-No!

-I'm Ieuan.

-I'm 18... no, 19 sorry!

-No, I'm 19!

-That's Dion Cheese.

-I don't know where it started.

-Dad and Taid are called that too.

-Ieuan is my brother.

-Dion is Ieuan's friend.

-Come on!

-He's just an add-on!

-Joke, Cheese!

-We'll be quite strong

-in every aspect.

-We all have different jobs.

-I can milk.

-Ieuan is good with tractors.

-Gareth is used

-to handling sheep and cows.

-I'd prefer working with machines.

-I wouldn't mind handling sheep.

-I'd enjoy it.

-I've watched Fferm Ffactor.

-I could do some of the tasks,

-but others, I couldn't do at all.

-Paperwork and questions

-don't suit me.

-He isn't much of a farmer.

-He's in the pub most times!

-We don't stand much chance

-of winning.

-I don't think so!

-All we can do is try.

-If we won the pickup,

-we'd go round the world in it.

-We'd drive it into the ground.

-I've never had anything new!

-Here is Team Olwen from Llanfrothen.

-Olwen and her family's farm is

-between Beddgelert and Porthmadog.

-I'm Olwen Ford.

-I farm in Llan Farm, Llanfrothen.

-My team is my daughter Llinos

-and my husband, Julian.

-We're beef and sheep farmers.

-Llinos milks 250 cows

-down in Efailwen.

-It's quite a change for her.

-I try to come home

-every other weekend.

-It depends what is going on.

-If I go out, I don't come home!

-I come back when Mam

-needs help with the shearing.

-I've farmed since leaving school.

-I'm an electrician now.

-He likes old machines.

-He has a few old oil engines.

-When I say a few, I mean a lot!

-He's good at repairing tractors.

-She usually breaks the machines!

-Yesterday, she broke the mower...

-..my brother's tractor...

-..the mower again,

-and she broke it again today.

-I'm sure Llinos is very competitive.

-She enters all sorts of events

-with the Young Farmers.

-I show my heifers.

-The white one comes from Scotland.

-It was my 16th birthday present.

-I like to win.

-It would be great to win.

-Llinos would love to win the pickup.

-We stand a good chance

-if we pull together.

-We'll see how it goes.

-I'm looking forward

-to winning the truck.

-It'll be my truck!

-Back in the show,

-the votes come in thick and fast.

-It's time for the judges

-to start counting.

-Are we ready to count? We've

-had a lot of votes. It's amazing!

-Off we go.

-Here's another team,

-Team Owain from Anglesey.

-I'm Owain. I'm 21.

-I live in Llannerchymedd.

-I can turn my hand to milking,

-shearing and fencing.

-I enjoy everything. I've done

-nothing but farming all my life.

-Meet my team.

-Gwion Owen, Garreglwyd

-and Guto Harri, Felin Fach.

-I chose Gwion

-because he's good at milking.

-I grew up on a farm.

-It's a way of life.

-It's something I enjoy.

-Guto loves tinkering with machines.

-I've watched

-every episode of Fferm Ffactor.

-I thought I'd like to have a go.

-Owain asked if I wanted

-to do it. I thought, why not?

-We have a good chance.

-We all have something to offer.

-We can turn our hands to anything.

-We're a strong team.

-I hope we work together as well

-on Fferm Ffactor as we do at home.

-We'll do the best we can.

-When the other teams meet us,

-they won't forget us.

-We'll say this much.

-We'll give you a run for your money.

-I'm looking forward to Fferm

-Ffactor. It'll be a new experience.

-The other teams should watch out.

-The Anglesey lads are coming!

-Next, please welcome Team Rhys!

-Team Rhys

-are three friends from Mid Wales.

-I'm Rhys Morris. I'm from

-Llanfair Caereinion. I'm 21.

-We keep 110 suckler cows...

-..and 800 Lleyn sheep.

-This is Alun Thomas

-and Geraint Jones.

-We're three friends.

-Alun milks on a farm

-the other side of Llanfair.

-Rhys lives in Llanfair.

-I farm at home in Llandinam.

-We're a strong team.

-We all have different skills.

-Geraint works a lot on tractors.

-I do a lot with sheep.

-Alun does a lot with dairy cows.

-I don't know

-if they're good farmers.

-Geraint works on cattle's feet.

-From what I see, he does a good job.

-I haven't heard of him

-taking out a gatepost!

-My preferred task would involve

-a quad. Geraint and I race quads.

-That would be a cool task.

-We get on well until we race.

-Then friendship is forgotten!

-Some of the tasks look easy.

-I think I could them.

-With other tasks,

-I'd be glad not to do them.

-If we pull together, we have

-a good chance. I'd like to win.

-We may as well go all the way.

-Winning would be brilliant.

-Just taking part

-is a great experience.

-I don't know if we stand a chance

-of winning. We'll see how it goes.

-Last but not least, Team Robert!

-Team Robert is based

-in Newport, Pembrokeshire.

-They run the Carn Edward

-meat business.

-I'm Robert Vaughan. My team is

-my brother Richard, and Steffan.

-Steffan has been helping us

-since he was a lad.

-I drive lorries five days a week.

-I help Robert whenever needed.

-He works hard for us, fair play.

-Once he has a task to do,

-he gets on with it.

-Given the chance,

-I'd like to be here full-time.

-I work full-time on the farm.

-We keep Longhorn cattle

-and 700 Lleyn sheep...

-..and almost 200 Longhorn cattle.

-The three farms are like one.

-This is Llannerch farm...

-..where our butchery is

-and where we keep the cattle.

-Longhorns are a traditional

-breed that like grazing.

-The meat is unique.

-Luckily, we can sell out produce

-in the Gardens next door...

-..in farmers' markets

-and food festivals.

-I feel I know

-a little about farming.

-I'm here to learn

-and keep an eye on them.

-Robert is a very lively bloke.

-He does things

-twice as fast as anyone else.

-He never sits down.

-When we have a task...

-..we have to pull together.

-I hope we work as a team.

-We do argue.

-We don't often work together.

-We have different jobs,

-so we keep out of each other's way.

-Farmers are competitive. It's in our

-blood to compete with neighbours.

-All farmers have that streak.

-I can't say how we'll do.

-We'll do the best we can.

-If we win the pickup...

-..all I'll be allowed to do

-is wash it after my brother.

-Give a round of applause to

-the 2015 Fferm Ffactor contestants!

-After the show, the teams will

-meet again and compete head to head.

-Put the blinking wire in!

-They will face

-four different tasks every week.

-Mechanical tasks...

-..tests of knowledge...

-..tasks about stock...

-..and tests of teamwork.

-Have you had a divorce on TV before?

-Have you had a divorce on TV before?

-

-There's a first time for everything!

-Four first rounds,

-four semi-final rounds...

-..then the two best teams

-meet in the final.

-It will be held

-at the Winter Fair, Llanelwedd.

-One team will drive away

-in a brand new Isuzu D-Max Yukon.

-We've met the teams.

-After the break,

-we find out which three teams...

-..and three teams only,

-who will battle for a special prize.

-Each team member has a role...

-..driving the bike, constructing

-the pen, or loading the animals.

-There is a time penalty

-for reversing into fences...

-..and for careless driving.

-Are you familiar

-with driving a quad bike at home?

-Not at home, it's broken down.

-Not at home, it's broken down.

-

-You have no quad!

-No.

-Good luck.

-It's serious!

-Are you confident?

-Fairly.

-We'll see. Good luck!

-Team Owain. How are you?

-Not bad.

-Are you nervous?

-Are you nervous?

-

-It's serious.

-Do you have a bike like this?

-Do you have a bike like this?

-

-Yes.

-Have you thought about

-who will do what, if you're chosen?

-Yes, but we're not sure yet.

-How are you going to work it?

-I don't know.

-You've no idea what you'll do!

-Team Carys.

-You've been chosen. Are you nervous?

-Not at all!

-Do you have a motor bike?

-Do you have a motor bike?

-

-No, I want a new one.

-Are you looking forward, Aeron?

-Are you looking forward, Aeron?

-

-Yes, a great deal.

-Who is doing what?

-Carys will load the sheep,

-Rhys will be on the bike.

-I'll finish with the pen.

-You've thought this through, Rhys.

-Yes.

-First to compete is Team Gareth,

-with Ieuan on the bike.

-Three, two, one!

-Off you go!

-But will Gareth

-and his brother see eye to eye?

-One has gone in.

-Well done.

-The blue lambs go in first,

-with Dion in charge.

-That's an important load!

-Next, carefully over the bridge.

-Show your support!

-In the meantime, Gareth

-is busy building the first pen.

-That looks rough.

-Now, he has to reverse...

-..and aim for the pen.

-The driver has

-to reverse to the pen.

-He's done it!

-But how many turns will Ieuan need

-to get in the right position?

-Come on, the clock is ticking!

-BLEEP

-Frustration with the task

-is affecting Ieuan.

-Slowly!

-Come on, Gareth!

-Gareth waits

-to unload the animals...

-..and puts them

-carefully in the pen.

-Shout, they need your support!

-Ieuan goes back over the bridge

-to fetch the second animal.

-Dion puts the red sheep

-in the trailer.

-Gareth has almost finished the pen.

-This one is slightly harder.

-How will he cope with the bend?

-Ieuan's second attempt

-at reversing goes better.

-Oh!

-He almost hit the pen.

-Out it goes. Well done!

-Gareth, what are you doing?

-Back you go!

-The pig is waiting for you!

-He's done well so far

-and hasn't hit an obstacle or gate.

-The pig is in.

-Well done.

-That pig almost came out.

-Almost!

-The other teams look very nervous.

-Gareth helps by telling Ieuan

-how to turn the bike.

-Don't hit any obstacles!

-Come on, Ieuan! Help him!

-APPLAUSE

-Back you go!

-Hurry, Gareth!

-Put the pig in the pen!

-Then they pick up

-the last animal, the pink cow.

-Oh!

-That was close.

-Don't come out here!

-He's got the hang

-of the reversing now.

-How will they cope? Straight over!

-Poor old cow.

-Hurry back, Ieuan!

-The clock is ticking, go!

-Ieuan races towards the finishing

-line without any time penalties.

-He finishes the course

-in 7 minutes, 36 seconds.

-Congratulations to the first team.

-It isn't easy, Gareth.

-It isn't easy, Gareth.

-

-No.

-How did it go?

-It'd be easier

-with someone better at reversing.

-They're already quarrelling!

-The reversing was quite

-good by the end.

-How did it go?

-Could do better.

-You're not used to bikes like that.

-You're not used to bikes like that.

-

-No.

-Are you happy?

-We've done our best.

-That's all you can do.

-You have fine support from Anglesey.

-Give Team Gareth a clap!

-Three, two, one, go!

-I'd say he's driven one before.

-Next on the course is Rhys,

-Carys and Aeron's eldest son.

-Well done, Carys!

-BLEEP

-He's stalled.

-Rhys has trouble with the bike.

-Come on, Rhys!

-BLEEP

-Come on!

-Oh, no!

-Back over the bridge.

-Hurry!

-He reaches the first pen.

-But Richard the judge wants Rhys

-to reverse right up to the pen.

-Oh!

-But he hits the fence

-and incurs a time penalty.

-Team Carys has no trouble

-delivering the red sheep.

-Aeron starts on the yellow pen.

-But Rhys hasn't noticed that a rope

-has fallen out of the trailer.

-Luckily, Mam is more observant.

-Can I go to fetch the bungee?

-After leaving the yellow pig...

-..Carys notices they need the rope

-to secure the next animal.

-Careful, Carys!

-Rhys shows better

-reversing skills this time.

-Aeron is a bit too keen to get

-the pig out before the bike stops.

-Carys has problems with the cow.

-The end is in sight!

-The rope is vital

-to keep it safe in its place.

-In it goes. The clock is ticking!

-Support your crew!

-Come on, Rhys and Carys!

-You've got it now.

-Wyn Morgan keeps

-an eagle eye on the time.

-Rhys reaches the pink pen.

-But he still has problems

-with the reversing.

-BLEEP

-BLEEP

-Look at that for strength!

-Straight in.

-Oh!

-One cow down!

-Aeron loses time and regrets

-not shutting the trailer gate first.

-Shut the trailer gate!

-He's cross with himself.

-Team Carys finishes the course over

-a minute slower than Team Gareth.

-After time penalties, they

-finish in 8 minutes, 42 seconds.

-How did it go, Carys?

-Fair.

-Aeron, Dad, how did it go?

-Perfect.

-Was it perfect?

-I'm not sure!

-Rhys.

-How did it go?

-Terrible.

-What went wrong?

-I'm not familiar

-with small machines.

-I prefer big tractors and trailers.

-Reversing the trailer was tricky.

-Yes.

-You had trouble getting it in gear.

-You had trouble getting it in gear.

-

-I'm not familiar with it.

-What was the problem?

-What was the problem?

-

-I'm not sure.

-You told me the goggles don't work.

-They do, but they steamed up.

-Everything went wrong for him!

-Yes. He's young.

-Join us later to see another

-young biker, Owain from Anglesey.

-And a surprise, as we reveal

-the eighth team in the competition.

-We're back at the Royal

-Welsh Show Cattle Ring.

-Two Fferm Ffactor teams

-have already competed...

-..trying to win a quad,

-driving on a special course.

-They must take animals

-to a pen of the same colour.

-Last to go is Team Owain.

-Here is Team Owain from Anglesey.

-Three, two, one!

-Go!

-But he misses the first gate.

-The judges take note of this.

-Be careful, lads!

-They have to take time and care.

-Guto finishes the blue pen

-as Owain arrives.

-Oh!

-He turned too much.

-Owain's first attempt

-at reversing isn't perfect.

-Come on, Anglesey, give them

-a clap to show your support!

-Carefully!

-Come on, Owain, hurry!

-In goes the sheep.

-The sheep is alright.

-It was alright,

-but it has fallen over now.

-Guto is still building the pen

-as Owain arrives.

-Well done.

-Is the pen ready? Not quite!

-It is now.

-Well done, Guto, the pen is ready.

-But Owain has problems

-reversing again.

-BLEEP

-Has he hit an obstacle?

-With Guto's help,

-the sheep reaches journey's end.

-The sheep goes

-carefully in the pen.

-Owain has clearly found his rhythm,

-as he reverses with the yellow pig.

-In goes the pig.

-Only the pink cow remains.

-Now load the cow.

-They're opening the gate.

-Go to the back.

-Come on!

-Go!

-Guto has finished the pink pen.

-But the judge asks Gwion to go back

-to tie the cow in with the bungee.

-Hurry, lads, the clock is ticking!

-They're having problems.

-It's closed. Come on, Owain.

-Reversing for the last time,

-Owain has problems once more.

-BLEEP

-Precious seconds are lost.

-Everything was going well!

-Come on, Owain!

-Back you go!

-Guto, help him!

-Tell him where to turn!

-Back you go.

-Guto helps his friend to reverse.

-Owain gets off the bike

-to help get the cow in the pen.

-In the cow goes.

-Carefully.

-Oh!

-Quickly, lads!

-Shut the gate!

-Shout, he has almost finished!

-Owain races

-over the finishing line.

-But who has done enough

-to take the bike home?

-Team Owain crosses the line.

-Give him a clap!

-How do you think it went?

-A bit slow.

-I don't know.

-I'm not sure.

-Reversing was a bit of a pain.

-Reversing was a bit of a pain.

-

-You had problems with the gate.

-What happened?

-It was that small red cord.

-The bungee cord

-wouldn't go round the foot.

-Really?

-You lost time there.

-Yes, but he did quite well.

-The reversing was a bit messy.

-A bit wonky.

-Do it yourself next time!

-As the competition ended,

-the rain reached Llanelwedd.

-It was time to find out

-who won the Honda farm bike.

-Winning the task

-at the 2015 Llanelwedd show...

-..twenty seconds faster

-than the other teams...

-..after a time penalty...

-..Team...

-..Owain!

-APPLAUSE

-From Anglesey!

-How do you feel, lads?

-Quite good!

-I'm sure you're happy.

-I'm sure you're happy.

-

-My god, yes.

-I'm having it first!

-Will you celebrate tonight?

-Will you celebrate tonight?

-

-Yes.

-Many congratulations to Team Owain.

-Thanks!

-Team Owain wins

-the first task of the series.

-They get the Honda bike

-and insurance.

-Congratulations!

-Welcome to the barn in

-the Cambria Agricultural College...

-..at the Llysfasi site,

-near Ruthin.

-The teams will meet again here

-when the competing starts for real.

-But there will be eight teams

-in this year's competition.

-Who is the eighth team,

-you may ask.

-They might be familiar

-to Fferm Ffactor viewers.

-I'm Rhodri Jones. I'm 37.

-I live in Llanuwchllyn.

-I keep pedigree

-Welsh Black beef cattle.

-I was in the first Fferm Ffactor

-series. It was a unique experience.

-I hope I'm a stronger

-competitor now...

-..and definitely more determined

-to leave with a share of the pickup.

-I'm Heilin Thomas.

-I live near Llandysul.

-We have just over 200 sheep

-and 25 beef cattle.

-I was on Fferm Ffactor in 2011.

-It was a great experience.

-I made new friends.

-I'm a happy, friendly person.

-I enjoy life.

-I aim to enjoy myself.

-I'm Rhys Williams. I'm 36.

-I live in Dyffryn Glyn Cul, Tywyn.

-We farm beef

-and have a flock of 1,200 sheep.

-I competed in

-the 2013 Fferm Ffactor.

-I had a lot of fun.

-We laughed a great deal.

-I learnt a lot too.

-A lot has stuck in my memory.

-I hope.

-I've known Rhodri Brynllech for

-some time and we've worked together.

-I've never met Heilin before.

-I googled him

-on an old Fferm Ffactor...

-..to see what his face looked like.

-I'd like to see tasks...

-..about wild animals...

-..like lions...

-LAUGHTER

-..elephants and giraffes.

-It'd be good for the team

-to think outside the box.

-A mechanical task

-would be tough for me.

-I hope they're strong in that.

-Oh!

-Oh, no!

-I'll have a go at anything

-and try my best.

-Fferm Ffactor can throw

-what they like at me. I'll try.

-Oh!

-I am very competitive,

-unfortunately...

-..over-competitive at times.

-I can't even let my young

-nephew win at tiddlywinks.

-I hope we gel as a team

-and have a range of skills.

-I hope the other two will work

-as hard as me to win the pickup.

-We have competed before,

-but didn't win.

-It's not often

-you get a second chance.

-This time, watch out, we'll win.

-Oh!

-This place is empty now.

-But for the next seven weeks,

-two teams will join me in the barn.

-We'll test their agricultural

-skills in a range of tasks...

-..from driving quads

-to handling stock.

-We'll see you next week on Fferm

-Ffactor, the battle of the farmers.

-Bye.

-Off we go!

-Stop!

-He's bound to get this.

-He's bound to get this.

-

-Eh?

-It wasn't a good performance.
