Ruth Jones: Nessa Jenkins
Quotes
-
Nessa : Alright, Stace, what's occurring?
Stacey : I need your advice, I do.
Nessa : Go for it.
Stacey : Should I tell Gav about the other engagements? Or should I just leave it? Thing is, things are going so lush, if I tell him it might just wreck everything. And it's not that big a deal, is it?
Nessa : That depends. This reminds me of a very similar situation I was in with my second huband, Clive. I was faced with a dilemma, whether to lie, or not to lie, and I chose to tell the truth.
Stacey : And what happened?
Nessa : He died. Firing squad. Terrible way to go, Stace and I wouldn't like to see it happen to you. Smugglers, we were. And 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.
Stacey : Oh, thanks, Ness. Do you miss him? Clive?
Nessa : I do, yeah. But I don't miss walking through customs with a belly full of cracked-filled condoms.

Pam : And you must be Uncle Bryne... uh, Brian.
Bryn : [shaking hands with her] Bryn.
Pam : Bryn.
Bryn : It means "hill" in Welsh.
Pam : Does it really? Do you know, I've no idea what my name means in Welsh.
Nessa : Why.
Pam : Cos I don't speak the lingo, darling.
Nessa : No, in Welsh Pam means "why".
Pam : Oh.
Nessa : [thinks] Or "brick".
