different great britain

I haven't been to the UK. Like many people, I have a different understanding of the UK after watching this "American drama" full of foul language, sex and drugs.

At least, the young people there, in their confused and confused youth, will also instinctively release their desire for freedom and enjoy life indulgently.

The first thing I think of is the 8-minute performance in London at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, which is modern, artistic, and very symbolic.

Perhaps, Mr. Bean is not so conservative and unwilling to be a follower of Uncle Sam.

As the creator of the common law system, Great Britain continues a cultural empire through which the sun never sets.

ps: the music in the play is really good

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.
