Freddie McClair quotes from Skins

Freddie

Okay. So what do you do when you can't take anyone's shit because I might really fuck things up and you don't know what to do or what's happening you just know that something really fucking bad is going down.

Just... [turns to his Michael Jackson poster and stares at it for a while before turning back to Freddie] No. I think, and I'm not sure... I think you've got me there.

Freddie

I totally fucking love you. Nows the bit you say...

Effy

Don't move.

Freddie

That one's JJ.

Effy

Their faces... Behind the skin.

Freddie

The skin?

Effy

Between this world and the next. Their teeth and their claws comming out trying to break through.

Freddie

Did you drop something in the cab?

Effy

Like a fart or something?

Freddie

No, like a tab or something.

Effy

A tab with your face on it. Here. A hole that fits mine. The moment I saw you, I knew it'd be the closest I'd get to being... close. I didn't know what to do with that feeling... happiness.

Freddie

Listen, Effy, you are the closest I'm ever—

Effy

But they know now! And they're hungry. Really fucking hungry. Because for as long as I've known, they've been chasing me and now they're ready, now they're strong enough to break through. And I can't fight them. I used to be able to when I was strong but... you've made me weak. And now I can't, I can't!

Freddie

Effy there's no one fucking there! Effy!

Effy

I can't! Let me go!

Freddie

Effy, listen. What do you want me to do?

Effy

They're ready now!

Freddie

Effy, stay here!

Effy

They're comming!

Freddie

I'll fight them! Is that going to stop you? I'll fucking fight them!

Freddie

Fuck off! Fuck off! You cunts, I'll kill you all!

Effy

What are you doing here?

Freddie

I want an explanation.

Effy

Freddie!

Freddie

Do you know what you've done to me? You're dumping me for no reason at all.

Effy

I have reasons.

Freddie

Well if the urge to tell me any of them occurs then please let me know. Or did John steal your soul as well as your past?

Anthea

Tea and biscuits?

Effy

Mum!

Freddie

The night before you dumped me you told me that you loved me.

Effy

I know.

Freddie

So look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me now.

Effy

Don't do that! I went crazy when I was with you. I can't let that happen again. Love is not supposed to do that. You made me go mad.

Freddie

You making me mad now, Effy. And that's exactly what love's supposed to do.
