Lines by Nessa 5

NNessa (talking about Smithy)

I just can't believe this, Stace. Of all the people I've slept with, it's him that gets me pregnant. Not Nigel Havers, not John Prescott, not any of Goldie Lookin Chain. No, some knobhead from Essex.

NNessa

I used to drive the sets for The Who on their world tours. Great days. Till I found out some things about Pete Townshend that I didn't like. And all I'll say is - and I said it to his face - where is the book?

NNessa (seeing boys playing on slot machines)

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What does that sign say? (points to Welsh-only sign) Peidiwch â chyffwrdd a'r peiriannau (Do not touch the machines); now sling your hooks or I'll break your face.

[Nessa in labour at the hospital]

NNessa

Hia, Stace, Pam, Mick. I'm on the gas, I am. It's messing with my head, I'm not gonna lie to you.

Scenes with Nessa 15

The truth is, I don't want anyone in this room being raped, myself included.

NNessa

Six quid for two slices of pizza. They takes the piss, these Cockneys.

SSmithy (talking about Nessa)

This is a nightmare of epic proportions.

What's wrong with her?

A, how old is it? B, have you seen the tattoo? And three, look at the size of it!

[Stacey and Nessa return from the bathroom]

Been powdering your nose?

NNessa

Oh thanks Stace, thanks a lot. Look, let's get one thing straight. I dont touch that shit no more, alright? I did and now I don't. So let that be an end to it!

[Nessa and Stacey leave]

And to top it all off, she's a drug addict.

I need your advice, I do.

NNessa

Go for it.

Should I tell Gav about the other engagements? Or should I just leave it? Thing is, things are going so lush and if I tell him I might just wreck everything. And it's not that big a deal is it?

NNessa

That depends. This reminds me of a very similar situation I was in with my second husband, Clive. I was faced with a dilemma, whether to lie, or not to lie. And I chose to tell the truth.

And what happened?

NNessa

He died. Firing squad. Terrible way to go Stace and I wouldn't like to see it happen to you. Smugglers we were. If it weren't for my relationship with John Prescott I'd still be in that jail right now. So yeah, in answer to your question, I'd say no, don't tell him.

D'you know I have no idea what my name means in Welsh.

NNessa

Why.

'Cause I don't speak the lingo darling!

NNessa

No in Welsh, Pam means why... or brick.

[After Nessa and Smithy both take the same plate]

No, you're alright, take it.

NNessa

No, you take it.

I don't want it. It's fine.

NNessa

But you like taking it.

Right. That's out of order. I've got a girlfriend that this family know so...

NNessa

Oh, get a life, Smithy.

NNessa

Oh! Stace. Don't get me wrong, but to be honest, at the end of the day, when all said and done...d'you know what I mean?

EEveryone

Yeah.

NNessa

Simple as.

NNessa

How it's going, all right?

Ok, I'm glad you brought it up. Cos, I've got a girlfriend who a lot of people here know, so I'd appreciate it...

NNessa

Where to's she now then?

What?

NNessa

Where to's she now?

Right, either speak English or learn Welsh. Cos that 'Where to's she...?' Do you mean where is she now?

NNessa

Yeah.

Say that, then.

NNessa

Where is she now?

Sixth-formers' netball tournament in Southend. She couldn't get out of it. She's wing attack.

SSmithy (about Nessa's pregnancy)

How long have you known about this?

I just found out tonight.

SSmithy (stands up)

Bullshit!

I did.

He did, we all found out tonight.

Oh, right. So, everyone found out before me?

No, I found out at the exact same time as you, Smithy.

SSmithy (pointing at Stacey)

I bet she knew.

I only found out at the wedding!

That was over three weeks ago!

Oh, come on mate!

Don't 'come on' me, mate! This is all your fault!

PGPam & Gavin

How?!

You and her, ringing each other and texting, arranging to meet up in Leicester Square! (Kicks table and moves to Gavin) I didn't even wanna go that day! If you hadn't dragged me there, none of this would have happened!

NNessa

It didn't happen that day.

What?

NNessa

It happened at Pam and Mick's.

GGwen

When you went off, in the garden.

That?! That doesn't count, that was rubbish!

NNessa

I know.

I don't wanna marry that!

NNessa

I don't wanna marry you, I'd have said "no".

Yeah, right you would.

NNessa

Oh! Don't diss me infront of people, I'd have said "no"!

Why? I'm a catch!

BBryn (whispering)

He is.

Have you looked in the mirror recently? You look like you should be in Amsterdam doing tricks for Mars bars!

NNessa

Oh thanks Stace! Thanks a lot! That was over ten years ago!
