[Radio advert plays while Rhys is driving]
Rhys[Singing along] Who'd you trust to transport your goods? Harwoods! You won't be sorry with a Harwoods lorry!
RhysThis is different now. You've got a daughter.
Emma's parents are a bit religious.
RhysOh, er...Better not tell them you saw my morning glory then,eh!
RhysWell if you stopped and asked me exactly what I saw in there instead of showin' off...
Do I show off?
Just a bit.
Rhys...You'd know that I got out by telling them I wanted a job as a delivery boy! So rather than "cock things up", I found you a way to get in! But if you can't handle that, big boy, then you can stuff it!
[Beat]
This is quite homoerotic.
Rhys... The things I have seen... The times I have wanted to tell you...
Rhys[half-disbelieving] ...Aliens? In Cardiff?!
Have you never seen something so mad, so extraordinary... That just for one second, you think that there might be more out there?
RhysProve it.
RhysThey're expecting me. You lot can hide in the back of the van-
What is this, Scooby-Doo?! Absolutely no way is he getting involved!
We're not postponing the wedding. No way.
RhysForget the money, I want you where they can look after you, right? Getting married today doesn't matter.
It matters to me!! It's not about the money, Rhys. I want to marry you! Today. Whatever happens. If the skies suddenly fills full of spaceships, or an army of Weevils climbs out of the drains on St. Mary's Street, you fool! Do you not understand what I'm saying, Rhys Williams? All I want to do today is marry you. That's all I want to do.
[pointing gun at Brenda] Get back, you ugly bitch!
RhysWhat are you doing, that's my mother!
No! It's the alien!
I'm not an alien!
Oh, you're good, I'll give you that.
But I'm not!
Yeah, and the Lone Ranger didn't have a thing with Tonto.
Do you think I've changed?
RhysEh?
Since I joined Torchwood, am I different?
RhysWhy?
It's just something Andy said. Okay, let me just tell you this one thing, okay?
RhysOkay, go on.
He still fancies me. (Rhys snickers) Don't laugh, Rhys. That's why he didn't come to the wedding.
RhysBloody hell, poor sod.
Oi! I'm a very sexy lady and you are a very lucky man. Just remember that, okay? (unzips jacket)
RhysWe're not going to talk about kids tonight, are we?
We could so some practising
RhysYou save this city. Well done. You save the world. Whatever. What for?
Sorry?
RhysWhy are you doing it? What are you trying to protect? What are you fighting for?
Because if I don't...
RhysShut up, I'm talking now, right? You do it so people can live their lives. And there's nothing more important than that. Falling in love, getting married, buying flats, having kids or not. But real life, that's what you're protecting. And if you're starting to think that your shit is more important than real life, then we're not going to last very long here, love.
Rhys! What are you doing here?! It's a crime scene!
Oh come on, Andy, Rhys won't blab.
RhysExcuse me! I've kept loads of secrets!
Like what?
RhysLike a Time Agency based in Cardiff!
It's not based in Cardiff.
Brilliant secret. I ask, you tell. Well done.
[While travelling to London, in a truck, on top of a cargo of potatoes, Rhys has just found out that Gwen is pregnant:]
RhysThis changes everything.
No. No, it doesn't. We're up the same creek and we still need a paddle.
RhysYeah! But three of us in a boat.
Do you ever think that one day your luck'll run out? That you won't come back?
I'm a fixed point in time and space. That's what the Doctor says. I think that means it's forever.
So, one day you'll see me die... of old age... and just keep going?
Yeah...
We'd better make the most of it then.
Suppose...
Like right now?
Ianto, the world could be ending.
World's always ending. And I have missed that coat.
Rhys, do you want to take the car down to those shops by the Wharf? We need some discs for these things. Should take about 20 minutes.
[quickly] Thirty.
30 minutes.
RhysI'll go later; the beans are almost done.
Beans are almost done.
Bloody beans.
RhysTook me a while to get used to those things [the filming contacts].
[shoots Rhys a questioning glance] What? You've used the lenses?
RhysYeah. That's why Gwen had 'em.
I only took them home for a bit of fun.
Fun?
RhysYou know. Fun.
[realising] Yeah, well; been there done that. It is fun.
Are you sure he's going to London?
RhysI don't question how you defend the world against extraterrestrial infiltration - don't you question my knowledge of the hauling industry, right?
Sorry.
