Franky quotes from Skins

Franky

You know, when I was six, the teacher asked me to think of something beautiful. I said 9/11. Saw it on the T.V. in this care home with the sound on mute. The teacher told me how many people had died, and all the other kids in the class cried. And I knew then that I was... wrong.

Franky

[turns over to Matty] Screw you, you mindfuck!

Franky

  Because I don't belong there anymore. Because everything I touch turns to shit.

Franky

Can you just fuck off and leave me alone, please?

Mini

Haven't seen you around Bristol. How come you started so late?

Franky

I kind of, like, moved here.

Mini

From where?

Franky

Oxford.

Mini

Understandable. But why?

Franky

[standing up] Look, if you are going to start shit now, then please could you get it over with, because I've had enough grief before, and I...

Mini

[confused] "Start shit?"

What grief?

Grace

Before, like, Oxford, or past life before? Because I had a dream two Sundays ago that I was a slave actually working on a plantation and...

[in unison] Shut up, Grace.

Franky

[Tearfully] Go! Go away, please. [He turns, but then walks over to her] I said "Go away"!

Matty

Is it real?

Franky

Do you want to find out!? It's a re-drilled replica. It shoots bullets, okay!?

Matty

[noticing the pictures behind her] Bullets for bitches?

Franky

What?

Matty

Is this how you have fun?

Franky

Can you just leave me alone?

Matty

Go on, then.

Franky

I don't have to take this shit anymore.

Matty

No, you don't. Bang! [she is startled. He looks her up and down] You're beautiful.

Franky

No. No, I'm not. I'm... I'm a no-good shit magnet. I'm... I'm nothing.

Matty

So why do I see a... glorious fucking head-fuck thing?

Franky

Who are you? Don't...

Matty

See you around. Remember to aim straight for the heart, next time.

Mini

Franky, uh, you haven't really told us whether you're a... you know. Or a...

Franky

What?

A lesbian.

Grace

Liv! That's so-

Franky

No. It's okay. I don't mind. And the answer is... No. I'm not anything.

Mini

So you're bisexual?

Franky

No. I'm into... people.

Luke

  Fancy fucking off somewhere?

Luke

  She died? Fuck...

Franky

  Yeah, that's what I just said.

Luke

  She was nice.

Franky

  She was awesome. I keep seeing the crash over and over.

Luke

  You got to let shit go, Franky.

Franky

  Yeah, but it won't let me go. And I'm fucking sick of it. I just feel like...

Luke

  ... exploding.

Matty

  Franky? Franky, say something, please. I'm sorry I haven't phoned, but things are so fucked here. I'm lonely and scared and I can't trust anyone and can't come back and I really fucking miss you... Franky! Fucking say something!

Franky

  You ran. You left us, you left me and you left her. And now she's dead.

Matty

  It wasn't my fault!

Franky

  Well, whose was it then?

Matty

  If you hadn't start flirting with that fucking psycho...

Franky

  Prick...

Franky

  Crap... Hey!

Nick

  Hey!

Franky

  You're okay?

Nick

  Yeah. You? Oh, no! Hey, hey, hey, it's alright!

Franky

  I am so sorry, Nick. He'd just been crazy.

Nick

  Right. It's cool. It's okay.

Nick

  (Accidentally their heads collide.) Ah... shit!

Franky

  I am sorry, I was just gonna...

Nick

  (At the same time.) I thought you're gonna...

Franky

  Mates, then? Cause, I could really do with one. One like you. See you around, okay?

Nick

  What are you doing to me, Franky?

Luke

  You gonna make me?

Franky

  Maybe... (They're kissing.)

Franky

  I have to go.

Luke

  No, you don't.

Franky

  Yes, I do. I've got to go revise before college.

Luke

  Fuck college.

Franky

  I want to, but... I've fucked up one exam already.

Luke

  Pussy.

Luke

  What does that mean? What could you mean?

Franky

  Well, just so you know, I'm not gonna be one, okay?

Luke

  Okay... I brought you here, cause you make my brain calm, my heart jump and my prick hard.

Franky

  What?

Franky

  Luke?

Luke

  Fuck me. You took your time.

Franky

  Like, you've been waiting.

Luke

  Ah, but I have, Franks. For too long... Well... uhm, ready to finish what we've started?

Franky

  Uhm... I've got to go.

Franky

  Why are you talking to me anyway?

Franky

  Today, please.

Nick

  Yeah. Why am I?

Nick

  Because I think I love you, dick head.

  Who do you need it to be?

Franky

  Gra... Stop it.

  What'd you need to say?

Franky

  Stop it. Stop it...

  Let it out. Just let it out.

Franky

  I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm fucking sorry!
