Skins quotes

Tony

Tonight's the night, Sid. You finally pop the cherry, you finally get the VIP tour of Neverland, you finally...

Sid

Fuck off. [mutters] 'Finally'.

Tony

Alright, who's stupid enough to fuck Sid?

Michelle

Cassie?

Sid

No, she's still in hospital.

Michelle

No, they let her out; she's just not allowed to handle knives.

Sid

[defeated] Alright, she'll do.

Tony

Okay we'll have to get a lot of drugs. Tell you what: get an ounce. We can sell it at the party.

Sid

I've got to get an ounce of spliff?

Tony

Sure. There's this guy on Bradley Stoke who'll sell on tick; tell him you'll pay tomorrow.

Sid

Why don't you go?

Tony

Can't. Got tai chi, then my choir audition, then psychology.

Michelle

Cassie's great in the sack... as long as she's not hungry.

Sid

Who says?

Everyone.

Tony

I say this world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in, and I wanna see that world.

Chris

What the fuck's he on about?

He's quoting, Chris. It's a literary reference.

Chris

What do you mean, like Shakespeare and shit?

Dawson's Creek.

Maxxie

Where are you going?

Chris

To find that party.

Maxxie

Nah!

Chris

Look, it's posh kids! All the boys are gay!

Maxxie

Yea?

Anwar

Are the girls gay, too?

Chris

Look... everyone's gay!

Tony

How's the treatment going, Cassie?

Cassie

Oh, it's cool. I wear a white dress and now I can eat yogurt, cup-a-soup, and hazelnuts now. I'm not sick if they let me play with the cats. Yeah, it's like... hazy days, y'know?

Tony

Well, that's encouraging...

Sid

I mean, what would you do when everything is just so fucked up and you don't know what to do?

Cassie

I stop eating until they take me to hospital.

Anwar

I'm praying to my God here, Cass.

Cassie

Oh... wow... is he listening?

Anwar

I hope not, otherwise he'll know about all those pills I necked last night.

Cassie

Sing quietly.

Cassie

'Chelle?

Michelle

[mumbling in her sleep] Fuck off, Tone.

Cassie

It's me, Cass.

Michelle

Crazy bitch.

Cassie

...Yes.

[on the phone to her daughter Abigail] Yes?... No... No, I don't care who's going, Abigail, you failed to comply with my wishes regarding parties and carpets were damaged!... Stop crying!... I am not an "expletive bitch", I am your mother! Have you taken your medication?... Well, take it now. Now!

Tony

You stink.

Sid

I didn't have time.

Tony

Time? I've been home, showered, done my Chi, had a wank, subtly undermined my dad, put new clothes on and here I am, with my English coursework.

Sid

English coursework? [in dismay] Oh fuck...

Tony

You know, Sid, sometimes I wonder why you even bother to get up in the morning. You're such a complete and total fucking waste of time and... [angered, Cassie discreetly nudges her plate, spilling Sid's Coca Cola on Tony's trousers] Ah, shit!

Cassie

Wow, Tony. Bummer, It looks like you pissed yourself.

Tony

[furiously] That's not supposed to fucking happen!

Anwar

Look at Tony, man! [laughing] Ah shit man!

Raas blood, white boy gone piss himself up, you get me! Mandem's sick stains! Hey cuz! Yo got serious stains! Him cream up his pussy good style!

Cassie

I'm a bad person. [Sid smiles and nods]

Tony

[sulkily, to Sid] Come on.

Angie

[walking toward Tony while topless] Tony, this is a room for female staff...!

Tony

[staring at Angie's naked breasts] Yeah, the dryer's broken in ours. [Angie puts her hands on her hips disapprovingly, but doesn't cover her chest, letting Tony look]

Sid

[walking in] Oh, there you are. Jesus, we're in trouble. That crazy fucking dealer found us Tony—hi, Angie [Angie quickly uses her hands to cover her breasts]—I mean, we gotta do something, you could talk to him... [noticing that Angie's naked, staring down at her see-through thong] oh, fuck!

Chris

[walking in] Aw, you wankers, that was well funny, man! I bet someone's going to have to apologise because Kenneth's crying now so he... [realises Angie is staring at him] Oh, Jesus Christ, that's Angie, Mary mother of God, that's Angie! Don't look, get out!

Angie

For fuck's sake, fuck off! [after the boys leave she lets her breasts go and watches them bounce] Ah, I still got it.

Cassie

This guy from my group therapy's got your ID card. He's a crazy fuck and he hates you because you cheated him.

Sid

What's his name?

Cassie

He likes to be called Mad.

Sid

Twatter?

Cassie

Yeah, totally. What did you do?

Sid

I bought some dope on the tick and lost it in the harbour, and... oh, fuck!

Michelle

You, girl, need to learn a few tricks.

Like what?

Michelle

Like looking good, it's what I do.

It isn't all you do.

Michelle

Yeah, it is. You play clarinet and I look shaggable.

For Christ's sake! Stop Looking at them!

Maxxie

Oh, sorry Jal. Well, they're out aren't they?

[to Maxxie] You're gay!

Maxxie

[enchanted] Yeah... [snaps back to normal] I mean, yeah. Of course.

[to Anwar] You're supposed to respect womens' bodies, Muslim boy!

Anwar

I'm respecting. Believe me, I'm respecting.

[into a microphone, spoken word] I'm inspired—I'm offline, a renegade, disturbing the peace while I'm spitting a serenade. All this tension, miscomprehension. I'm informed and on the level that I might mention that when I scream it's just passion. I ain't angry at culture, I ain't angry at fashion. And I might sound spiteful if I feel shit's epidemic; I admit that some is soul and some is academic. I've been doing this forever, so why're you choosing now? Turning your face away is a punch in the gut—Pow! So swing a rhyme of time, like the daft sing of love, so keep your peace. 'Cause I've got kin, I've got skin to think of.
