Emily Fitch quotes from Skins

Emily

You told Graham I was straight?

Well, he's known you since you were a little girl!

Emily

He's gay as a window!

He's an adult, he's earned the right to be gay. You're too young to know what you are.

Emily

I know, mum.

You think you know. Is there any specific reason why you've been crying? Maybe Naomi?

Emily

No, we're fine.

You should go travelling to find yourself. Wouldn't she just get in the way?

Emily

She's my fucking girlfriend! You've got nothing to do with this.

All right. All right. Wouldn't you like to set out on an adventure?

Emily

No!!! Get used to it!

So what if I was to give you a thousand pounds, would that change things?

Emily

What? Now you're bribing me!

Oh, Emily, your mind! I'm just trying to help you! Naomi's not right for you. And there's something about her, something I don't quite like, I'm just telling you.

Emily

Shove it up your tits. [leaves]

Naomi

[Sophia] she stalked me!

Emily

You're very stalkable.

[voiceover, as Emily reads her comic] I can't stop crying. I've tried to stop thinking, but it doesn't work. You don't expect stuff to happen; you can't control it, you can't control anything. So I'm at this stupid open day and everyone's snotty and rude and then I see someone. [Sophia meets Naomi: "I recognise someone. I tap her shoulder; she turns and smiles"] I never even spoke to her at Roundview, but it didn't seem to matter because everything got really fun. [Naomi and Sophia on the train: "I had to tell a lie to come here."; "So did I."] And by the time we were on our way home, we were telling secrets, and I wanted to move my hand, I wanted to move it so much. [Sophia holds Naomi's hand] And then she moved hers. I wish I told Naomi how easy it is for me to love someone. We're all lonely and all we want is for someone to... [Naomi and Sophia at Naomi's house: "I feel trapped."; "I know what you mean."] you know, pay attention and tell us we're beautiful... and cute... and say that we want to... [Sophia cries over an animated panel of her and Naomi kissing; Emily finishes reading and cries].

Naomi

[crying] I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

Emily

You've ruined it. You don't want anyone to care. [Stands up and looks at the road below] I could be dead in a second. Everything's... so... fragile. Didn't you realise that? We were special. [Emily steps down from the ledge and walks past Naomi]

Naomi

I was scared!

Emily

You're always scared.

Naomi

What the fuck are you doing, Emily? Emily, fucking stop this shit now!

Emily

Naomi darling, am I making you nice and wet?

Naomi

Fuck you! [Gets up from the pool] This is a fucking pantomime!

Emily

Fuck you right back!

Ems, stop it.

Emily

Stay out of this.

Naomi

What? Want to fuck her? Is that it?

Emily

Maybe I do. So what?

That's enough! What's this all about?

Emily

It's none of your business.

Naomi

I fucked the dead girl. I fucked Sophia and gave her the drugs, and now she's punishing me for it.

I knew you'd screw her up!

Hey! Good news everyone! I found us a caravan. What have I missed?

Emily

Why don't you all just fuck off? Look at you. Pretending to be happy families, pretending to love each other.

Don't you dare speak to me like that!

Emily

Get off your high horse!

I can't... I can't be here any more.

Emily

Bit melodramatic. Remind you of anyone?

James

Stop it.

Uhhh!

Come on son.

Naomi

Em...
