Liv quotes from Skins

Keep it simple. No future, no names, no touching. This is not a hook-up. I’ve got interpersonal issues. And syphilis. And the reason I chose you is 'cos you’re little, and I do karate. This is, like, a one-day-only deal. And if I see you on the street tomorrow, I am going to blank you, so don’t get weepy about it.

[To Rich] Gracie told me she made you cum so hard once, you got spunk on her lightbulb... Something's wrong.

My friend died. Grace died... [crying] I don't want to die.

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.

You’re a crap shit.

Doesn’t sound right when you swear.

It doesn’t sound right when you try to be cool. You’re not cool. And I am swearing now, because you let me down. So deal with that, fuckteeth.

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.

I was thinking about Grace this morning. She came into my head.

Oh.

It was funny. It was like she was helping me remember this thought. Once, I danced to help a girl get through an exam.

You danced?

Disco-stylee. It was what she needed. What do you need, Liv?

I want to tell someone I have a lump on my front. It's getting bigger, and it hurts. I'm terrified.

The nurse will look at it, and it will be nothing.

Can you guarantee that?

I wish adults could make more promises.

Franky

You know, it's not my fault you're jealous. Because Matty and Nick chose me.

Like I said, nobody calls you out. Nobody can say it.

Franky

What? About what?

That Grace... wouldn't be dead. If you hadn't been fucking over Matty and every other boy you get your hands on.

... Better out than in.

What are you doing?

Rich

I'm trying to pass my exams.

That's not right. How come you just get to sit here? How come you're okay?

Rich

[Hesitantly] I couldn't explain it to you-

I don't want to hear it! Why is it me that has to care? You were her boyfriend. She loved you. What the fuck are you doing in here? ... Why aren't you in the fucking loony bin? She can't do history revision, can she? She is history.
