Joanna Page: Stacey West

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.

• Bryn : Party? London? Saturday? A party in London this saturday?

  Stacey : It's Essex.

  Bryn : Yeah, in my book that's tantamount to London!

• Stacey : [after Gavin and Stacey announce they are getting married in Wales]  What's the matter with Barry?

  Pam : BARRY ISLAND? Oh, where you going to have the wedding reception? On the log flumes?

  Gwen : We don't live on the actual island, Pam.

  Pam : Oh, and what's on the menu for the wedding breakfast? Hot dogs and candy floss?

  Gwen : What?

  Pam : All served up by a gypo on a donkey?

  Gwen : I beg your pardon.

  Pam : Oh, don't worry about the honeymoon, just go to Butlin's.
