    People are born with some fetters

    I have always wanted to write about those dramas that I love, such as the British drama "skins" that started 10 years ago, translated as skins.

    Skins take you to trample on the wild world

Skins quotes

  • Emily: [behind her closed door, after Naomi knocked] I'm not going to open the door. My face is all puffy. I cried a bit.

    Naomi: I don't care.

    [sits down on the front porch, Emily sits down, too]

    Naomi: I do want someone. I need someone.

    [beat]

    Naomi: You're it.

    Emily: [teary] And?

    Naomi: [crying] And... when I'm with you, I feel like a better person. And I feel happier, less alone... less lonely

    [Emily sticks her hand out of the catflap to hold Naomi's hand]

    Naomi: It's not as simple as that, is it? Being with someone?

    Emily: Isn't it?

    Naomi: No. I'm mean I don't know. At least, I don't think so.

    [beat]

    Naomi: Emily?

    [beat, then sobbing]

    Naomi: Can't we just sit like this for a bit?

    Emily: [beat] Yeah, we can... for a bit.

  • Naomi: I think I'm going away for this summer.

    Emily: Oh.

    Naomi: Spain, Cyprus, perhaps. By myself. Spend some time by myself, you know, do some thinking by myself.

    [clears throat]

    Emily: About what?

    Naomi: Let's just be friends, okay?

    Emily: We say that, don't we?

    Naomi: [beat] Yeah, have a good summer.

    [starts to walk off]

    Emily: [beat] I'll miss you

    Naomi: [stops, a beat, then turns around and kisses Emily]

    [desperately]

    Naomi: I can't stand it. I can't

    [kiss]

    Naomi: .

    Emily: It's okay

    [kiss]

    Emily: It's okay

    [kiss]

    Naomi: Jesus!

    [kiss]
