Who would expect out there, where the hell you are - in the middle of nowhere? - Exactly. Listen, I-- I'm really sorry I didn't get those gems to you, I feel like a real doorknob. I just, every time I've gone to the studio, it's like, like nine hours goes by, you know. I'm just trying to get it out of me and it's not coming. Well, I-- it's totally understandable, I mean-- I really-- I've wanted to, and I-- It's all I've been thinking about, it's just been plaguing me. No, you're-- you're being a good daughter, and-- and you're where you're supposed to be. I know you've been going through a lot, how is she? She's okay, she's, um-- It's kind of-- It's not, not been a great week. - Okay. - But, um-- You know, she's really happy about this, which is fab. I-- I-- I-- I sometimes find with my artists, that-- - You know, that, that escape, you know, you have a gift. - Yeah. And that gift, uh, can help you get through this. Um-- You play her anything? Sometimes, yeah, I-- I actually was singing her this new idea. - Do you want me to-- Do you wanna hear it? - Oh, yes, please. - If you're not gonna send it, you might as well sing it. - Okay.

And yeah, it's a little rough, it's a little rough, - but I hear it in there. - Okay. Well, it's just, it's just an etching, it's a scribble of a song. - Yeah? - I know how difficult it is to deal with, family and the personal and, uh, the pain of that, and then having to create at the same time, you know. - Yeah. - And, you know, I-- I-- I-- It's all an illusion - Sister? - Guess what I'm doing. What? - Packing. - You coming home now? - Coming home. - I'm so excited, I haven't seen you for so long. What time's your flight? I hope to be home in time for dinner.

How's mum and dad? Um, mum's actually not here at the moment. - Why, why not? - Um, she's gone back into hospital to have some tests. - Iris, how long ago did she go back to hospital? - Um-- It's just been happening this week, it's just all been like sort of-- it's just been mad. Where's dad, why hasn't he rung me? I don't know, Abs, it's just, it's just what's going on, I'm just letting you know. Pretty shitty of you. How do you think that makes me feel, by the way, as a person, when you just leave me out of everything? You're not the one who's in control just, because you're there. I've got to go, otherwise I'm gonna miss my flight, but I love you, Iris, - and I'll-- I'll see you tonight, okay? - I love you. - Okay, bye. - Have a safe flight, Abs. Bye, babe.

They-- They're hoping she may come home for a bit. Come here. You have so much on your-- on your plate. You must be under tremendous pressure, - You're worried about your mother. - Hum. - Yeah. - I think I can come up with an interesting way to help you around that, that I think you're gonna love. - Really? - Yeah. I was thinking maybe you could have a visitor, of Eleanor Roberts. - Show up at your door, sounds like a game show. -What? - What are you talk-- - Eleanor Roberts would like to come. She's heard some of your work, and, uh... - What? - She's a fan, and she knows you're there, working under a stressful situation, and she's offered to come all the way to Wales, to help you pull this all together. Eleanor Roberts wants to come to Wales and hang out with me? Just hang out. And this, by the way, is not typical of her. - Really? - It's not like she calls me up and goes, "What other clients you got that I can just hop on a plane... - Really? - ...and, and go work with." She chose you. Really? I don't wanna put you off your stroke. - Oh. - Ha ha, boom! - Beat that. - Are you joking? Right, rematch. Leonard, man, oi. I had a note to bring these by here today. Jackie's gone out and I was told bring these here. Well, Jackie is at the hospital, I thought you were-- - What's she doing at the hospital? - Well, she's gone to see Mary. - Has she? - Oh, of course, 'cause of the, 'cause of her-- - Why did Jackie go and see mum? - Because she's-- Well, because she's her sister. Why didn't you just come down with Jackie this morning? Why aren't you working anyway? Middle of the day, - chucking balls around here. - Well, she has been working, - tell him your news, tell him your news. - Dad's actually, um, pretty proud of me at the moment, 'cause I've got some massive news. - Hm. - I've got this full length, feature length film, a Hollywood budget, 10 million, it features Timothy Edwards and Charlotte Carol. When the credits come down, and if you play your cards right, you'll be invited to the premiere. Who's name is gonna be on the titles? Iris. - Nice, it's great, yeah. - Yeah. You seem quite up about it, kind of, "Ooh." - Oh yeah. You'll have to tell Jackie. - I'm so excited. It's a bit insensitive though, aint it? Telling me all that, trying to get me all, - "Oh, look, we're all excited." - Well, it is exciting. - We're all excited about that, and your mother's in hospital. - What are you talking-- - Keith. - Your mum's there in hospital, lying there, like, - beep, beep, beep, and you're like, - Keith. - "Ooh, look at me, making it rain, my $10 million." Keith, that's enough. Door! Hey! - Come on in. - Dad. Hey! - How are you? - Oh, my god, how are you? - Come on in. - Take the weight off-- Oh, sister! Oh, a bit of sister love. - Oh, my god. - I've got mince all over me, I don't wanna get it on you. Yeah, careful with that carrot. Since when have you cooked, Iris? - Do you wanna come help? - Yeah, of course. - I'll come help or I'll try. - Let me take this. - Are you trying to do mum's recipe? - Yeah. It's so watery. - It's liquid. - No, it's not. - Abs, do you want a drink or anything? - It's runny. I've actually got you some vino. Shall I, do you wanna come and sit down? - Want you-- Want you vino? - I'm coming, I'm coming. Okay, we're catching up, as I've got a million different things to tell you. Alright! - Keith. - I'm cooked in here, aint it? - Yes. Oh, really? - Yeah, Keith's here. - I see that. - Good old Keith. - Alright? - Hm. How's aunt Jackie, Keith? - Alright. - Haven't seen her, I think she's-- - Why, dad? - I don't know, - he just showed up. - I haven't seen you in ages. He came round with boules. Yeah, it annoys you guys. Come here. Mm. - You always kiss me. - Ah. - OK. Let me say what I wanted to talk about. - Yeah. - So good to see you. - I mean, mum sends her love, obviously. Does she, yeah, I wanna know. Iris told me a little bit on the phone. - Yeah. - I don't know why you didn't - call me. - Well, I didn't want to-- I didn't want to bother you, I mean, you're busy over there and she's been-- Yeah, but I'm not busy enough, like I am your eldest daughter. Yeah, nothing's changed, I mean, she's-- She's okay, she's okay. Thanks. Always. Glass of vino. - Thanks, Iris. - Oh, thank you. - For our lady. - Where did you get-- Lots of talking, not much cooking going on. - I'm just saying like. - Thanks, Keith. Take advantage of an experience that will never come along again. - Wha-- What! - The most talented composer. The inventor of the genre. - Yeah, um-- - Romance comedy. Duh, I know, wha-- what? She would love to come, drop in, just-- - Wait, hang on. - Big Eleanor Roberts tool chest. She's there for you to reach out and pull anything out of her experience and-- and help you get to the place you-- you have to be, that you're clearly struggling to get at. I know this is like a weird question, but is she nice? Like-- Well, not famously nice, no, but, um-- She's-- she's pretty eccentric, she's-- - Really? - She's very creative, as you know. This is rather untypical of her, to be quite so giving, to tell you the truth. So I think that's a testament to your talent. - Uh-- - Wow. But she's got, uh-- - she's got a huge heart. And-- - Wow! - I-- I'm nervous. - She's got lots of experience she wants to share with you. Yeah, she does have a lot of experience. - Yeah. - I mean, with everything. Well, she's had a life. This is a-- a genre that-- that she practically invented, the sound of romantic comedy, and she just wants to sort of help. Just don't sleep with her, things get really complicated after that. - What? Griff. - Never mind. - You never lock the door? - Keith, give the lady some space. - Hi. I'm Abby. Iris' big sister. Yeah. - Hi. - Oh, my god. You're so pretty. - I'll close the door. Shall I stay in - or close the door? Close the door, yeah, probably. - Thank you. - Iris! - Dad! Dad, you'll never guess what, Eleanor Roberts wants to work with me! - Oh, hi. You're Iris? - Oh, my god. Yeah, I'm Iris. What are you doing here? - My god, I just-- - No, no, I just got off the phone with Griff. Did you know who I, okay, 'cause they didn't know who I was, - and I just felt like I-- - Oh, okay, you came. Is this the wrong day, is this the wrong day? No, he said that maybe you'd wanna come on Thursday. I didn't realize that you'd be here right now. What day is today? - It's Tuesday, but I'm so-- - Oh, fuck!

I'm, I'm-- You guys probably don't even swear, I'm so sorry. - I'm sorry. - I swear a bit, I swear a bit, like, shit, piss. What happened was he said just go help this girl, she's in a lot of fucking trouble, I mean, not that you're in fucking trouble, 'cause he says you're really brilliant, you're really great, I can't believe that you look like this and you're really that great, but I'm sure you are. - She is very talented. - Yeah, I'm sure, but guess what? - I think I need a drink. - Yes. - I can get you a drink. - You know why? - Yeah, wine? - I'm-- I'm-- Yeah, okay. Actually Jack Daniels, oh, did I decide Jack Daniels? - We actually-- we actually got-- - You know what? - Brandy, whatever you have. - Would you like some coke? - Actually I'm freezing. - Do you have a jacket? - Are you cold? - No, you know what, I'm fine, I'll just put my jacket on. - That's in the summerhouse, I've got-- - Okay. - Well, thank you. - It's alright, no problem.

What have I done? I'm making her feel welcome. A kind of a licky right now. A kind of a licky. If she doesn't mind, what's the problem with it? I didn't put anything in her, did I? It-- it pulls out and there's a whole-- - Oh, god, it's-- - Kind of throws on that. - Are you kidding? This is-- - You sort of like, you know. - Oh! - Just like that.

My Body Can't-- Sorry, it's so embarrassing. My Body Can't Metabolize the Excitement I Crave. It actually inspired the song that I was thinking for the movie called, uh, You Could Be the Person I Choose to Suffer With. Do you wanna just like drum it out? What, now? You know what, - actually, I-- - Do you still, ever feel like that? I don't know. No, I don't ever feel like drummin' it out, no. It's like-- Can I call you an icon?

Who the hell's sleeping in our summerhouse, mate? - This is my idol. - I'm not even gonna pretend to know - what you're talking about. - Don't you remember like, I had her posters on my wall, composed for some of my favorite films, Tomorrow, Yesterday Never Comes. - Eleanor Roberts. - Yeah, I've seen Tomorrow, I maybe watched that one, yeah. Literally like, she's a living legend. So how long is she staying? You know mum's back this afternoon? I do, I do know mum's back this afternoon.

But she says she likes drinking wine, like in the middle of the night, if she gets thirsty. What difficulties are you having with your work? - What? Nothing. - What difficult-- She's obviously here to help you. Let's-- What's your boss's name again? We didn't eat anything last night.

Iris, did you hear what I said? - I've just got like-- - Did you hear me? Yeah, I've got like two more songs, that I need to get done. - Yeah, gonna be brilliant. Yeah. - I mean, the exciting bits for you, is gonna be when the credits roll down, and you see my name. Yep. So how did you two guys meet again? - Ah, it was about six-- - I've got this, I've got this. We, er-- She wandered into my gallery in Paris, saw me. The most prestigious gallery in Paris, by the way, it is. And I think it's fair to say she fell pretty quickly for me. I've got half a dozen properties in Paris alone, couple of hundred around the world really. So I'm non-stop. - Okay, everyone. - Uh, about five years-- - Everyone. A little bit-- - Are you shushing me? A little bit of hush please. Please, Iris, Iris. Eleanor? We're trying to do a toast. We're just gonna-- We thought it's be lovely to do a toast to our mum, who we love. Toast to mummy. - So much. - We love you so much. - Cheers, we love you so much, mum. - And me. I'm so glad you got to meet Andrew, and, um-- - I love you. - I love you. Er, mine's a little too, yeah. Um, I'd like to make a toast, to the most gracious, generous, kind woman. I would have probably been, okay, I'm saying it wrong, if I'd had a mum like you, I wouldn't be like I am, in a bad way, you know what I mean? - Yeah. - Like I'd just be-- I'd just be better, 'cause I never-- I never had that. So, I am so glad that you guys have had that and I know I've gone on too long, I'm sorry. I'm just a little drunk, sorry. But I do wanna say is that you have the most amazing, brilliant daughter. - Here, here. Yes. She is smart, funny, sweet, kind. But really, really fucking talented. Really fucking, oh, I'm sorry. - Language. - I'm so sorry, and really super-duper talented and I think you are really-- Um-- Oh, god, sorry, I'm not-- I'm not really good with words, um-- um-- when people are looking at me, I get really, okay, I'm sorry. You know what, actually I have to go to the bathroom, um-- And I love you, is that weird to say? I just, I do, excuse me, I'm so sorry. - Alright. - She's about to hit the carpet. How did you know we were here? - You're welcome. - Keith, did you invite Bobby? - Yep. - Yeah, is that a problem? Why'd you guys even talk? - We always talk. - We talk a lot. - Bobby. - Why did we break up? Please leave. Do you really wanna have this conversation - in front of mum and dad? - Yes. I haven't actually explained it fully to mum and dad yet, so maybe-- I'm a changed man, I've changed everything. A new outlook, what I do, who I am, new hobbies. Keith knows. Keith's the man. Come on, give it a go, Keith says you're doing music and something's going on with somebody else, - sounds very strange. - Nothing's going on. Before I was not listening to the music ironically. Okay, and now I hear it all and I love fishing now, everything to do with aquariums, fish, fish pumps, tank pumps. And that's been able to help me make women happy. I'm a changed man, I have changed. There is a lot of change going on. There's a lot. And within that change is change, and more change. I used to be about cars, women, booze. And I'm no longer about that anymore. I like women, sure, and booze, of course, but I don't like cars anymore. - Whisky? - Just a wee, wee bit, - A little bit of whisky. - A wee bit, a titch, just a titch. - I think you should stop. - Good. I think you can, like yeah, a good kiss is definitely a good indication if somebody's gonna be right. - You okay? - I can be a really good kisser - with one person. - Yeah, Bobby. I can't kiss another person. You don't-- You don't seem okay. You know what, can I just say - this whole English thing. - Is-- We're Welsh. You had to do that though, didn't you? Yeah, I know, I'm kind of, uh, sorry, immediately sorry about it. You made a bit of a scene though, didn't you? You what? I'm sorry. - Sorry? - Yeah, I'm very sorry. Oh, 'cause you did sleep with Tash. Look-- Yeah. Fucking mouth, bring that mouth over here. Some funny business going on over there, that's your friend, aint it? Oh, my god, mm, mm. Wow!

Hi. What are we like? Last night was a certified disaster. Yeah. Sure was. Andrew's, um-- You know, so nice that he-- Kind, compassionate, husband material. - Definitely. - Okay, I get it. I realize you don't like him. Well, neither do I, so-- - Okay, you can say it. - He's a twat. - He's an absolute... wanker. - Absolute. I'm gonna have to get rid of him. - Yes. - Today. - Today? - Oh, god. - Can you do it for me? - No, he's got to walk to the train station himself. Do you think Bobby's the one though? Why are you even thinking, Iris? I was being sarcastic. He did bring flowers though, so. It's really tacky. Five quid flowers and he left the label on. I wouldn't really say that makes him a stellar gentleman, would you? How about you rate, um, Eleanor? - Why would I rate Eleanor? - Why wouldn't you rate Eleanor? - Because-- - I've seen you over the last - few days, Iris. - It's really weird, she's not ratable. - I don't think of her in that way. - You flirt with her. No, she's a friend. - Okay. - She's a new friend. Iris, I'm your sister, and I've been watching you the last few days and you-- You do know you flirt with her, right? - A little bit. - I mean, I absolutely - do not flirt with her. - You do. Yes, you do, - don't try and cede it. - Oh, don't even go there. Why-- Like-- Obviously she's not like, worst looking person ever, is she? She's a bit-- She's a bit complicated. That's what-- That's what great people are like, you know, a lot of the time. I mean, you know, she's still like-- Just like a statue of wisdom, and, you know, incredibleness. Wow. - Abs? - Hm? Play you a song? - Just been trying it out. - Yeah. Can you hold this for me for a sec? - Hold it? - Yes, just hold that. - Okay, Iris. - Abs, please, just sing it along with me for one sec? Please, Abs. I just need a bit of help with the rhythm. - Okay. - And if you think it's catchy, - then I know I'm onto something. - Okay, but you know - I'm not a singer for this bit. - Doesn't matter. If you don't pull through Don't know what I'm gonna do Don't know what I'm gonna do 'Cause I wanna wake up To your smiling face Make you tea or coffee And get out of this place Go see smiling faces I'll take you to the places You haven't been for a while You haven't been for a while Oh. It's the simple things They mean so much You feel like You're losing touch When you feel like You're losing touch Keep hanging on With all you've got I think, and then it should go, To the simple things They mean so much Then I go back to G, I go back to G then. It's the simple things They mean so much Yeah, that will tie it up nicely, if I go back there. So I'm gonna start on the G and end on the G. Make you tea and coffee And get out of this place Can I stop you for a sec? Go see smiling faces It's really pretty, but do you mind if I ask you a question? - Oh, we're doing so good. - I know, I know, I know. I just wanna finish this bridge. Can you just, can you put the guitar down for a second? Yeah, sure. Please. Yeah? I think it's obvious what happened last night and it's obvious that I can't drink. And I've been here before right before you, and it is not your problem, it's totally my problem, but I'm really embarrassed about what happened with your parents. I was in a blackout, I don't remember anything, I don't even know how I got back here, and I-- You've been nothing but great to me, but I did come here to help you and I have not helped you, if anything, I feel like I've made things worse, and I've just kind of brought my madness with me, and I'm not, you know, I can't drink. And so, what I've done is I've written you something, and I hope you like it. And if you don't, that's okay. It probably needs a lot of work, but I haven't written anything in a long time. - So I really-- I don't know. - My god, this is amazing. - Thank you so much, this is so exciting. - Hm. Yeah, but even if it's shit, will you still forgive me? It's not gonna be shit. Then can we just be friends? Can we just do anything? I just think you're great. I think you're great. - I do. - Okay, so we just sing it. - Listen, just don't get your hopes up. - You wrote me a song? - Wait, okay, A major. - Yeah. Shall we walk Shall we walk by the river This truth is new Can I have permission To know you I took you for granted But you take advantage Now I'm missing Who I never met It's bad, right, it's shit? Really, really beautiful. Toodeloo! - Keith, come on. - Okay, hey, Bobs. What have you got, man, what have you got? - Look at this, - In with it. Oh, in there, in there. Heads in there, look at that.

Baby, come here, I haven't seen you in a while. And why with Keith again, and what is that? - What is that thing? - Fun. Be the woman, man. Look at that. You've always got to come at private, intimate family moments. I didn't know it was, Keith said to come along. Listen, baby, I've not seen you in a week, - I've not seen you in a week. - I know.

'Cause I wanna wake up To your smiling face Face 'Cause I wanna wake up To your smiling face Make you tea or coffee And get out of this place Go see smiling faces I'll take you to the places You haven't been for a while You haven't been for a while It's the simple things That mean so much When you feel like You're losing touch When you feel like You're losing touch Keep hanging on With all you've got To the simple things That mean so much Wish I could write songs about Anything other than death I can't go to bed Without drawing the rest Shaving off the rest Each one so heavy Each one so cumbersome Each one a lead weight Hanging between my lungs Spilling my guts Sweat on the microphone Breaking my voice Whenever I belong With you can't stop Isn't this worth it I'm sure you're okay Should I go somewhere else, Not my face Springtime, learn a new way Marathon running Might cause a sprain Marathon running Might cause a sprain We have come together to commend our sister, Mary Evans into the hands of almighty God, our Heavenly Father, and in the presence of death, Christians have showed ground for hope and confidence, because the Lord Jesus Christ, who shared our human life and death, was raised again triumphant and lives forevermore. In him, his people find eternal life, and in this faith, we put our whole trust in his goodness and mercy. Mum. I'm gonna miss your smile and your laugh and having cuddles in bed. I miss all of our late night chats about love and life and the universe, and-- My mother, Mary Evans was the kindest, most thoughtful, gorgeous woman I've ever, I've ever known. I know she's been preparing us for this day, me and Abs and Dad. So I know what she would have wanted, and what she does want, which is for us to go out into the world and spread our wings and find joy and happiness and be together for the good and the bad moments, and all the shades in between, and we're gonna do you proud, mum, we're gonna be there for each other, and her memory will live on in our hearts. I love you, mum. - You came back. - Hm-mm. - You want some tea? - Yeah. - God, I feel so embarrassed. - Well-- It was all weird with you in the summerhouse, eh? Do you really wanna go there? I know, I just-- I'm not usually like that. I don't-- I don't know what came over me, you know. It's just-- Suddenly it all came out and-- I'm so embarrassed and I don't know what to say and then-- It was a little traumatizing, I have to say. But I'm working through it, I have professionals to help me. Good. But, um, I actually, um-- I, uh-- I don't know, I just thought about a lot of the things that went down, and I feel like the energy of us together-- We did something that I couldn't have done alone, and I don't think you could have done alone, and we did it together. I actually have written some of the best songs I've ever written this week and there's no way that I would have been able to do that at the worst time of my life, have the best thing also happen to me. You know, there's something about when somebody from the outside, like somebody from Mars, comes in and they just decide to believe in you. And you just decided to come out of nowhere and believe in me. And the power of that is... massive. Then listen to me, you're really talented, and your heart is beautiful, and your energy is so crystal clear. 'Cause you're amazing... My love will overflow Help to Fancy? No, pasties give me a bit of heartburn. Yeah, well, they're renowned for it, you know. Yeah, nice though, but I can do any kind of pastry does me really, pasties-- I had Welsh cakes the other day. - Oh, yeah. - They bought me, they are quite dry, quite claggy. That's right, it's the dough. - I was kind of eating them... - Yeah. They need a bit of butter on them really. Well, they just sit there, see. They did sit there for a while. Yeah. Alright, yeah, got to be careful. - Hey. - How are you doing? Alright. How's it going in there? Mental, looks like Keith's about to get on the decks. Mum would have laughed at that. Mum would have really laughed. - Like a lot. - At everything. - Yeah. - The whole scenario. So, I've been thinking after what mum said, that I'm gonna spend more time at home - with you and dad. - Really? Yeah. What do you think? - Really? - Yeah. I think if that makes you happy, then, - it'll make me really happy. - Good. - Done. - Um. Griff was actually saying the other day, he called me, and-- He was saying if I wanna go to L.A. with the, you know-- - L.A.? - L.A. Well, they're getting all my demos in the orchestra room. - But, you know. - You've got to do that. Yeah, but I kind of need somebody to show me around, somebody that's been there, that-- You know, that I loved and trusted. Is that your roundabout way of... - Would you? - ...asking your big sister to come to L.A. with you, because you're so gorgeous. Well, I'd kind of like to spend time with you. - Really? - Yeah. Aw. Yes, I would love to do that with you. - Really? - That would be amazing. - Yes. 100%. - And look after me? I would definitely, yes, I'm so in. - We'll both do it together. I think mum-- - Hm. - Bobby? Um, I-- - What do you think first of the-- the spread, what do you think? We, uh, we went all out with, uh, cheesy tomatoes, thin sliced, um, premium ham, with a ham and-- and tomato as well, on that one, and then this is pizzeria, Welsh pastries. Do you mind changing the music? It feels a bit sad and I know mum really would have wanted us to dance, and just have a bit more fun. Um, yeah, no, I'll change it in a minute, uh-- Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah. - Are you sure? - Yeah. I'm okay. Fine. I'm gonna change that-- the music. I'll get used to it Eventually My body can't contain All the things you do But I can't complain It's gonna see me through My body can't contain The feeling in my heart The pleasure and the pain Love is just a game Ooh, we get so high Fire in your eye And we lose our minds We can't protect the line And we get so high Fire in your eye And we lose our minds What did you do today Didn't do much today I was home and then I wasn't What did you do today I stayed at home today I was home and then I wasn't What do you do, when You're stuck between days And your days can't Keep up with your days What do you do, when You're stuck between days And your days can't Keep up with your days What did you do today Didn't do much today I was home and then I wasn't What did you do today I stayed at home today I was home and then I wasn't I had a dream I saw myself on TV And I viewed myself In many different ways I had a dream I saw myself on TV And I viewed myself In many different ways |
