Episode #1.3 (2007)

James Corden: Neil 'Smithy' Smith

Quotes 

• [the men are in the kitchen, drinking the home-brewed beer that Smithy has brought] 

  Bryn : Ooh, it's strong, isn't it?

  Mick : Yeah. You don't want too much of it. What percent is it, again?

  Smithy : Nineteen.

  Bryn : Oh yeah. Whoo! I like it. The funny thing is, it's not my usual tipple. Normally, I prefer a Cinzano.

  [Gavin laughs a little, Smithy laughs loudly] 

  Smithy : [Mimicking Bryn's accent]  Cinzano!

  [he laughs] 

  Smithy : I love your accent, Bryn! It's so much better than Stacey's. Say something else, go on, go on.

  Bryn : All right, uh, bear with me. I got it.

  [in a thick accent] 

  Bryn : I'm going down the Arms Park for half a dark!

  [They all laugh] 

  Gavin : Now say something in Welsh. You know, in Welsh.

  Bryn : That's the thing, you see, I can't.

  Smithy : How do you mean?

  Bryn : I cannot speak the Welsh language. It's a constant source of embarrassment to me, but Welsh is not my mother tongue.

  Mick : Now, why is that, Bryn? Cos, every time I've been down there it seems none of you can speak it. I mean, you spend all that money on them signs and none of you can read 'em.
