30 Days of Skins - Day 11

Day 11 – Your favorite quote from Skins

Okay, just so you know, I have a book full of quotes.  I started it back in high school and it’s filled with hundreds upon hundreds of song lyrics, quotes from movies, TV, people, books, and everything.  I carry it with me everywhere, just in case I need to write a quote down.

(Yes, my quote book is color coordinated.  I’m weird like that.)

So this question was hard, like always.  And my answer may be a little long.  And, like always, the majority of them are from Gen. 2.

Tony: “Change.  It’s a wonderful thing.  Look, you know how subatomic particles don’t obey physical laws?  They act according to change, chaos, coincidence.  They run into each other in the middle of the universe somewhere and bang!  Energy!  We’re the same as that.  That’s the great thing about the universe: unpredictable.  That’s why it’s so much fun.” ~ 1.05

Cassie: “I didn’t eat for three days so I could be lovely.” ~ 1.05

Sid: “Cassie, I don’t care if you think you’re odd, because I feel like singing when I see you.  And you’re beautiful.  And I’ve been such a fucking chapstick this past few weeks.  And all I want to do this morning is sit on top of Brandon Hill and hold you, and tell you how wonderful you are.” ~ 1.09

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.” ~ 2.05

Cassie: “Remember when you rode with me in the ambulance?”
Jal: “Of course.”
Cassie: “That’s what love feels like.” ~ 2.05

Naomi: “Watch out, Katie. I might get confused and fuck you with my great big strap-on by mistake.” ~ 3.01

Emily: “I know you Naomi.  I know you’re lonely.  I think you need someone to want you.  Well, I do want you.  So be brave, and want me back.” ~ 3.06

Gina: “I wasn’t expecting it.  The people who make us happy are never the people you expect.  So when you find someone, you’ve got to cherish it.” ~ Naomi’s mom ~ 3.06

Naomi: “I do want someone, need someone.  You’re right.  And, when I’m with you, I feel like I’m a better person.  I feel happier.  Less alone, less lonely.  But it’s not as simple as that, is it?  Being with someone?” ~ 3.06

Effy: “Come on JJ.  Don’t be pathetic.  It’s easy.  Just tell me something true.  Tell me.  Tell me now.”
JJ: “I love you.”
Effy: “Well everybody loves me.” ~ 3.07

Effy: “No Emily?  Truth.”
Naomi: “That obvious?”
Effy: “Don’t have to be a genius to work it out.  So?”
Naomi: “So, I’m straight.”
Effy: “Sure?”
Naomi: “If I said no, would I regret it?”
Effy: “Probably but, not because of me.” ~ 3.07

Cook: “I’m pissed off yeah.  She’s taking the piss.  And it’s hurting me, ’cause Cook needs the love too.  Cookie’s got nothing.  Cookie’s always got nothing.  That’s why I do her pal.  That’s why I pop Panda.  Panda’s popped.  It’s always the same: great tits Panda, great tits Effy.  That’s all I get, ’cause I’m shit.  I’m pure shit.” ~ 3.07

Emily: “Still holding hands through a cat flap aren’t we?” ~ 3.09

Emily: “What do you do when someone you love lets you down?  Really fucks you over?”
Thomas: “You must try to stop loving them.”
Emily: “Is that possible?”
Thomas: “I don’t think so.” ~ 3.09

Naomi: “Why are you so horrible?”
Katie: “Because I’ll love her more than you ever can.” ~ 3.09

Emily: “You’ve ruined it.  You don’t want anyone to care.  I could be dead in a second.  Everything’s so fragile.  Didn’t you realize that?  We were special.” ~ 4.02

Katie: “I’m Kaite Fucking Fitch. Who the fuck are you?” ~ 4.04

Naomi: “I’ve loved you from the first time I saw you; I think I was 12.  It took me … three years to pluck up the courage to speak to you.  I was so scared of the way I felt; you know, loving a girl, that I became a sarcastic bitch just to make it feel normal.  I screwed guys to make it go away, but it didn’t work.  When we got together it scared the sh-t out of me because you were the one person who could ruin my life.  I pushed you away. I made you think things were your fault, but really I was just terrified of pain.  I screwed that girl Sophia to kind of spite you for having that hold on me.  And I’m a total f–king coward because I got these … these tickets for us for Goa three months ago.  But I couldn’t stand … I didn’t want to be a slave to the way I feel about you.  Can you understand?  You were trying to punish me back, and it’s horrible.  It’s so horrible because, really, I would die for you.  I love you.  I love you so much it is killing me.” ~ 4.08

I think I’m going to cheat and include one from Gen. 3 as well.  I’m loving this new cast more than I ever though I would.

Franky: “Right. So … fuck. Sorry. Right. Yeah. So, um, fucking … yeah. Basically, if you can, like, choose your identity — because I tried today, and now I feel sort of less like me. And, I mean, I’m not exactly over the moon about being me in the first place. But now, I think I kind of like it less when I’m trying not to be me. Because I just … I just want to, like, be.” ~ 5.01

I just want to say I’m loving Franky.  Loving Grace.  Loving Mini.  And loving Matty.  I think I love Mini more than I should, but she is just so fucking awful that it’s amazing.
