Transition to the café with Gwawr and Tony, continuing where they left off from their last conversation.
|
Dad
|
So I arrived in Wales in 1978.
|
Gwawr
|
And your parents were already here?
|
Tony
|
Yeah, they were, they met me at the port.
|
Gwawr
|
Who brought you up in Jamaica?
|
Tony
|
My grandmother, and my grandad, but mainly my grandmother.
|
Gwawr
|
What about your parents?
|
Tony
|
They moved here when I was 18 months old.
|
Gwawr
|
(Said with a lack of empathy.) That must have been hard.
|
Tony
|
My grandmother said to my parents: you can go to Wales if you want, but this boy will grow up Jamaican. (Beat.) How's your mother?
|
Gwawr
|
She's fine, thank you. So what did your grandparents do?
|
Dad
|
My grandfather was farming most of the time. I was actually brought up by women completely, more or less.
|
Gwawr
|
Same
|
|
Silence
|
Dad
|
It's a shame you never got to meet her. My grandmother is still, apart from now you are here, the greatest human being that ever lived.
|
|
Gwawr laughs awkwardly.
|
Dad
|
She lived with me for all my life, her morals are my morals, but my problem is I ignored them for many years.
|
Gwawr
|
And what would those be?
|
Dad
|
Just behave yourself, be kind, be truthful.
|
|
Gwawr stifles a snort.
|
Dad
|
I know. I did send the odd message. I'm sorry, I probably said some things… some things that probably upset you. I was trying to explain my state of mind when you came around, when you were born and stuff.
|
|
Beat.
|
Gwawr
|
Yeah you did upset me.
|
Tony
|
That's not what I intended. I am so glad of the heart you have right now, and I love you so much
|
|
Beat.
|
Gwawr
|
Your grandmother, what did she do?
|
Dad
|
She was a shopkeeper. She had a village shop and, you know, raised goats, chickens. We were from the countryside so we all multi-tasked. We used to grow citrus fruits; oranges, tangerines, mangos ─ my grandfather used to grow Tangelo.
|
Gwawr
|
Grow what?
|
Dad
|
They're like a cross between tangerines, oranges and something else.
|
Gwawr
|
Oh, ok.
|
Dad
|
He used to splice some citrus fruit together and make hybrid ones.
|
Gwawr
|
Waw.
|
|
Silence
|
Dad
|
So, do you work, do you have a job?
|
Gwawr
|
I'm going to University in September, hopefully.
|
Dad
|
What will you study?
|
Gwawr
|
Politics.
|
Dad
|
Ah, so you're going to be the next British Prime Minister.
|
Gwawr
|
Welsh Prime Minister.
|
Dad
|
Ah yes, Welsh, of course.
