Skins (2007–2013): Season 6, Episode 8 - Liv - full transcript

You don't need to avoid me.

Why would I be avoiding you?

You don't want to talk about her.

That's not it.

Argh!

You've got a new friend, then?

Thought we'd be new friends.

You guys are on edge?

Yeah.

What the fuck is wrong with all
of you? What the fuck?!

So, friends. This is it.



This is your moment.

When everything you've been striving
for, everything we tried to teach,

everything that your parents
have dreamed of,

that their lives
will finally add up to something.

Now, it gets tested,

in the crucible
of academic excellence.

Mr Sweetcheeks
has your digital exam codes.

You're all just numbers now.

Ms Long has your personalised
exam timetables.

Um, I've got stripes,
spots and diamonds.

She's tracking you personally. So you
see, nothing can go wrong unless...

Unless you balls it up.

I think perhaps
that's not the right word, Simon.

Unless you fuck it up.



Well, I guess we're all adults now.

Promise me.

Promise me
you're going to take it easy.

Mini! Mini, come over!

Where are you going?

Hey, gorgeous!

Who's this?

Fuck knows!

Oh, yes, get it out, girl!

Oh, man! That is a lot of... Wow.

Fuck off!

You heard her.

OK.

Fancy a fuck?

You read my mind. See you, mate!

Wake up, Olivia. I got a new bed,

and it's, like, super bouncy.

I'm going to show it to you. Ready?

One, two, three!

Like it?

Slow and steady, slow and steady.

Ready?

Wake up, Olivia!
Wake up right now!

Bouncy, bouncy!

OK, one more time.

One, two, three!

Hi.

Hi.

Don't mind me.

I don't. But you fucking fuck loud.

No offence.

None taken.

I like fucking. You can't make
allowances for the world.

Is that right?

Sure. Got to let
the good times roll, you know?

Where is he?

Packing.

Packing? For what?

My mate's got a cottage at Minehead.

We're going to go down and spend
some quality time together.

Cottaging? Nice.

He's right.

You are edgy.

Alex is never with one guy for long.

So whatever you think might be
about to happen, it's not real.

Is that why he keeps you?

Keeps me?

Yeah. To scare off the skanks.

You're his little
bull terrier, right?

Morning.

I made you breakfast.

Told you she's the best.

Hmm. She's delicious.

Mmmm! Motor's running.

Fag hag.

Aaagh!

Urrgh!

Well, don't you know...

What the fuck
is that you're wearing?

It's vintage.

Looks like some fucked-up
hippy bullshit.

What do you want?

I want to go out. Have fun.
Do normal criminal shit.

So go out.

What are you doing?

You never come home.

Mom's totally worried you're, like,
fucking yourself up.

Yeah? Where is she?

She went on a hot
yoga-a-thon weekend.

Right. So beside herself with worry,
obviously.

Whatever. I just got out on licence,
I don't plan on being banged up

in a flat with a smelly kid when my
tits still stick out straight.

I'm busy.

Yeah, well, I've got fucking
to catch up on too.

Try not to stab anyone.

Is your boyfriend here?

He's not my boyfriend.

Well, what is he?

Shut up and get inside.

This place looks like dead shit.

Hey! Who taught you to speak
like that?

Maudey?

Yeah?

I think... I think you do kind of
smell a bit, babe.

Yeah. I stopped washing.

Why?

I wanted to see how long it would
take anyone to notice.

And?

Three weeks, two days, six hours.

Silly bitches.

Stop it! Get off! Get off! Stop it!

Can I steal a dress too?

No. What?!

You took some old lady's dress.

When's she coming back?

She's not coming back.

Why?

She died.

Like Gracey?

Yeah.

Like Gracey.

Aaah!

Aargh!

What the fuck?

Will you do my hair?
Come in and do my hair.

OK. Budge up, then.

Thank fuck.
I need to talk to you.

Alex isn't here. This is Donovan.

Oh.

Can I, can I speak to him?

I don't know where he is.

We went to a club.

He went off with some guys,
and I thought... Well, I...

I thought he wanted to be with me.

I guess he'll come back
for his phone, yeah?

Liv...

Can't speak to her, Gracey.

Can you believe that?

She doesn't even look at me any more.

Nobody looks at me...

Who are you talking to?

Nobody.

Yes, you were. You said Gracey.

You shouldn't be listening
to people.

I'm 13, I'm nosy.

Move over.

If I died, would you cry?

Shh.

What?

You never cry. I used to think
it was because you were super brave,

but now I just think
you're emotionally stunted.

That's probably it.

But I'd want you to cry
if I was dead.

I'll do my best.

Cool.

You have to take me to school
tomorrow. I'm on report.

What for?

I stole the tampons
from the nurse station.

The tampons?

All the tampons. Now nobody can have
a fucking period. Fuck 'em.

Don't die, ever.

OK.

Franks! Mate! Compadre.

Hi.

Tell whoever it is to fuck off!

Whoa.

Is she OK?

Er, yeah.

Just a bit stressy
about the English exam.

English! We need to get into that,
Little Dorrit and all of it.

Or we could just get totally
fucking wasted!

Who is it?

All right, Minerva?

Hey.

Remember me?
I'm your best matey, Liv.

Have you been drinking?

It's breakfast.

Malone-style.

It's 10 am.

Yeah, so?

Let's get wasted on Brandon Hill,
smoke a fatty.

What about little bummer boy?

He's away.

Oh, so now you're back in my life?
Is that how it works?

That's not fair.

What's up with her face?

Maybe just give it some time, yeah?

Give what some time?

What's going on?

She'll talk to you when she's ready.

Bye.

How's the rugby player?

Nick doesn't play rugby any more.

What does he do? Go to Zach Braff
movies with you? Like Matty?

Mostly we fuck.

Says he's never really enjoyed it
before.

Owww! Fuck!

Ahh!

Olivia? Are you all right?

Yes. No.

Something... My side hurts.

Oh, dear.

Go to the nurse, she'll have a feel.

She always does for me.

No, I don't want that.

Oh.

I mean, it's probably just my period.

Oh, yes, the...

Whoa! Ha...

Yes, the... Right! The menstrual,
er...

The divine mysteries
of the female anatomy.

Liv, do I sound like a complete
twatting idiot sometimes?

Er...

No. We all respect you, Doug.

You can't even remember
my last name.

No, but that's a good thing,
isn't it?

I'm leaving.

Leaving my job here as principal.

Really?

Er... why?

I want to learn how to snowboard.

Some things...

Horse riding. I saved up
for that myself.

It's now or never.

Kayaking.

Taxidermy.

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
that I have a lump on my front.

It's getting bigger and it hurts.

I'm terrified.

The nurse will look at it, and...

and it will be nothing.

Can you guarantee that?

I wish...

I wish adults could make more
promises.

It's OK.

I hope you like horse riding.

I hope you like everything.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Oh. Um...

Just you've been standing
out here for 15 minutes.

I wonder if you want to come inside.

Oh, no.

You don't have to wait.

I can get you in to see a doctor.

No, I'm just waiting to see,
for someone, I'm just waiting.

You can wait inside.

Um...

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

Mr Hinckles is mine.

What's he doing with you?

We've been having an affair.

Look, I'm sorry about before.

I was feeling sick.

You've been hanging out with Franky
a lot.

Yeah, but she's...
You know, she's with Nick now.

So, you know, they're doing a
shitload of fucking and everything.

It's romantic.

Yeah.

And you've got nothing to say about
that?

How screwed that is?

Whoring around all year?

I'm right here, you know.

Clearing out my locker
before I go whoring.

Am I the only one who dares speak
to you about your bullshit?

Bullshit?

Yours.

And yours.

You know,
it's not my fault you're jealous.

Because Matty and Nick chose me.

Shit, no...

Like I said, nobody calls you out.

Nobody can say it.

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.

Franky!

Better out than in.

Just tell this stupid bitch
what you're supposed to tell her.

Just tell her. OK?

I've been having sex with Alo and...

What?!

Yeah. Er... with Alo, and...

No! No, no, no, no, no.

How long?

A few months.

But we stopped and...

No, stop there.

Is this what it's all about?

You've been fucking Alo
and you didn't tell me?

No, that's not it.

Shut up.

It doesn't matter.

Liv, I...

Rich!

Hey.

What are you doing?

English Revolution.

History, English Revolution
and shit.

Interesting?

Gracey told me that she made you
cum so hard once,

you got spunk on a light bulb.

Yeah.

Right, cool.

Something's wrong.

Fuck it.

Hey! Liv!

What the fuck?!

Shut up! Shut up!

Cut it out!

What are you doing?

Liv, I'm trying to pass my exams.

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

How come you're OK?

I can explain...

I don't want it!
Why is it me that has to care?

You were her boyfriend.
She loved you.

What the fuck are you doing in here?

Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck!

Liv.

Aargh!

Liv, are you OK?

Why aren't you in the fucking loony
bin?

She can't do history revision,
can she?

She is history.

Liv! Wait!

Shit. Shit.

I'm sorry, we're closed.
If you'd only come ten minutes ago.

I've been here for half an hour.
I was waiting.

Why?

So I didn't have to come in.

Well, whatever it is, you have to
face it.

I don't want to.

Nobody does.

Can you come back tomorrow?

It doesn't matter.

Truce?

You should have told me about Alo.

I'm sorry.

No more secrets.

I can't take it. OK?

Hey, you know what?

What?

Little Dorrit. I've never read it.

No?

And I was hoping you could tell me
what happens in it,

cos we're doing
our English A-levels tomorrow.

Sorry. Why not ask Franky?

Cos she wouldn't think it was funny.

I love you!

Cheers, ta.

Maude?

Where are you?

Just at Brandon Hill.
Did you get in OK?

Yeah, your friend helped me.

He came back?

Yeah, he's really nice.

Yeah, he is nice.

Did you eat some beans?

Yeah.

OK. I'll be home in a little while.

Love you.

Here.

Thanks.

Hey.

Yeah?

You wanna explain?

Oh, you know I'd fuck it up.

It's nice here.

It's peaceful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She's lying, of course.

Who?

Use the bonce, lady.

Where are you going?

Can I come?

Go home, black bitch.
Sort your shit out.

Come on, the others are waiting
for us.

Hey.

Hi. Where's Alex?

He was, like, super tired,
he went to bed.

You too. Straight after that, yeah?

Alex? Alex!

Hey, poof!

Am I glad to see you...

Liv, I'm home!

I'm going to shower for a long
time...

Are you my sister's boyfriend?

Um, no.

Then why are you naked?

OK. Now, I'll just say,

the next time somebody tries
to give you this excuse,

you absolutely must not believe
them.

But I'm gay, and it doesn't matter
that I'm naked.

It matters to me.

And I'm sorry about that.

In fact, I'm just gonna go.

You're quite buff.

Yep.

Really going now. Cheers.

Wakey-wakey.

So, are you like
a welcome home present?

Excuse me?

From Liv.

No.

Well, don't mind me,
but this is my room.

Yeah, totally, totally.

Alex.

Matty.

The Matty?

Who, um...

Who ran away. Yeah.

Shame.

Yeah, well, I didn't mean to.

Yes, you did.

I've tried to explain to you.
I thought you understood.

That doesn't mean I believe you.

I said you could stay until the
morning - that's it, Matty.

Then you should just fuck off.

I'm sorry, Liv, I'm not leaving
Bristol until Franky understands.

What?

That I love her.

Can I suggest that you go round
there now and tell her that?

Then I can get some shut-eye.
Very nice to meet you, Matty.

Happy to see me?

Yeah. Hi.

I missed you.

I'm wasted in Minehead.

I need to talk to you.

Babe, any time.

Please don't go.

I don't really know
what my contribution in this is.

Is there anything in particular you
want to say to me, Matty?

I'm sorry.

God, that's good, that's good.

They smuggled you back into the
country so you could say that?

I mean, fuck me, that's good!

What do you want, Matty?

If I could talk with you.

I want...

I want you to explain to me...

what you're doing with my
brother.

I'm fucking him.

That's not right.

No. It is right.

It's really fucking right, OK?

So you can just go back to Morocco.

And live on that hill.

I mean it, Matty, just fucking live
there.

I'm staying.

Well, I don't want to see you any
more.

OK. Are we done?

Shut up!

Excuse me? I mean, why?

He just came. I couldn't stop it.
I can't stop anything, OK?

Fine. So go back to gay boy, then.

Min...

I really don't care.

Matty, why are you still here?!

Oh, yeah, yeah, no, go with him.

I don't know what you want me to do.

You're such a cold bitch.

Yeah? Well, it feels right!

You can't even say her name.

Fuck you! Fuck you!

Liv! Liv!

You! You don't know anything!

You fucking left me there,
you all fucking left me there!

Don't hit me, please don't...

I'm pregnant, I'm having a baby,
please!

Please don't hit me!
Don't hit me!

Please!

I'm having a baby!

What?

I'm having a baby.

No. You would have to...

Liv, it's too late.

Liv!

Leave me alone!

Liv!

Oh!

Hi.

Hi. The doctors won't be here for a
while.

Somebody needs to look.

OK.

No. Somebody needs to look now.

Yes, OK.

Hang on... one minute.

Dr Gavin is on his way.

He won't be too long.

Will you look?

I'm not a doctor.

I know.

OK.

It's there.

On the left,
I can't touch it any more.

Does it hurt right now?

It doesn't hurt.

What's your name?

Liv.

Liv, I can't see anything here.

There was a lump.

Right there. It was hurting and...

There's nothing there.

It was there.

It was right there.

We'll get Dr Gavin to have a look.

He's great. He really is.

He'll understand, I promise.

My friend died.

Grace died.

Oh, darling, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I know.

That's cool.

Yeah.

I think so too.

Thanks, Doug.

It's my pleasure.

Can I watch it?

'Wake up, Olivia.

'I've got a new bed,
and it's, like, super bouncy.

'I'm going to show it to you.

'Ready? One, two, three!'

Like it?

Slow and steady, slow and steady.
