Rhodri Meilir: Alfie Butts

Quotes 

• Roger Bailey : Can I talk to you? You know, man to man? One Welsh love machine to another?

  Alfie Butts : There's another?

  Roger Bailey : I keep trying to ask Abi if she'll marry me, but I just can't seem to find the right words to do it!

  Alfie Butts : No, seriously! Who's the other Welsh love machine?

• Alfie Butts : Hey, have you thought of the perfect way to propose to Abi?

  Roger Bailey : Not yet. Have you got any ideas?

  Alfie Butts : Well, you could do what my uncle Dewi did. You see, erm, he was in a freak baling machine accident and he fell in love with his nurse. Now, when he was well enough, he proposed to her with 1,000 red roses, ten boxes of chocolates and he got the local male voice choir to sing her favourite song.

  Roger Bailey : Oh, that's so romantic! Did he go down on one knee?

  Alfie Butts : He only had one knee!

• Alfie Butts : [On the phone]  Harper residence. Oh, hello Lucy!

  [to Michael] 

  Alfie Butts : It's Lucy.

  Michael Harper : Hah! Tell her I'm not interested!

  Alfie Butts : [On the phone]  What's that? Cinema on Saturday night.

  [to Michael] 

  Alfie Butts : She wants to go cinema on Saturday night.

  Michael Harper : Forget it! Tell her I've got a date!

  Alfie Butts : [On the phone]  8 o'clock, by the box office. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that'll be fine. OK, bye!

  Michael Harper : Alfie, what are you doing? I told you I don't want to see her again.

  Alfie Butts : She wasn't asking you! She was asking me!

  Michael Harper : What?

  Alfie Butts : Well, what can I say? Women seem to find my sexually ambiguous persona irresistible!
