Chris Miles quotes from Skins

Cassie

Do you know what hurts most about a broken heart? Not being able to remember how you felt before... try and keep that feeling, because... if it goes... you'll never get it back.

Chris

What happens then?

Cassie

You lay waste to the world... and everything in it.

Chris

Jal, don't you understand I wanna-

Make a new fucking pact that means nothing to you? Yeah! Let's do that! We'll build something, and we'll tear it down! Fuck it! Come on. Say it. Build something! Tear it down! You're not who I thought you were. You're an empty, poisonous smile.

Chris

Jal, can't we just- I don't know what I'm meant to say! Jal, look at me. I was perfectly happy killing myself. All right? But then you asked me to try. And for the first time in my life, it felt like someone actually gave a shit, and that that person was worth trying for. And now... I'd fucking, I'd make the world record biggest sandwich if you asked me to. I'd kick old grannies in the tits, I'd fill the river with Panda Pops!

Cassie

[acidly] What do you want, Sid?

Sid

I want you to stop what you're doing, okay? You know: fucking around, fucking anything that moves. Just stop it!

Cassie

You started it!

Sid

I don't care, I don't care! You're cruel! I hate you!

Cassie

I hate you right back. Why don't you pop over to Michelle's and give her one? [mock surprise] Oh, another one!

Sid

[annoyed] Just give it a fucking rest, okay? You know, it's you and me. You know that, and you're being stupid!

Cassie

My turn!

Sid

You went away! Why did you go away? You know, I needed you, and you pissed off! My dad said... he said you're special, but you're not! You're just slutting around like a spoilt kid!

Cassie

[singsong] Michelle, Sid, Michelle!

Sid

I don't love Michelle! I never loved Michelle, I love you, but you—[sits down, and starts to cry] God, where were you? My dad fucking died. [Cassie's guilt begins to show] I needed you. I mean, Michelle?... We had great sex for three days and guilty sex for the rest. So what? I don't care! I did it. I hate you. [gets up to leave] Fine, fuck fifteen year olds. Whatever. I'm sick of saying sorry. I love you. You say sorry.

Cassie

[Realising he's talking about Effy's friend, Jake] I didn't fuck him, Sid. His mum had sewn his name into his trousers, and, well, he got a bit excited. And he squashed my slug. My slug called Sidley. So I threw him out.

Chris

[Chris walks in] Look, if he's still bothering you, Cass,- [seeing them kiss] Oh... okay. Smokin'!
