Skin 2: The only thing left is sadness
I finally finished watching the second season of the skin bag two days ago. If the tune of the first season was basically bright (despite all the foul language, sex, and drugs), the second season was heavily grayed out. Everyone is in different troubles, gay Maxie gets infatuated by a heterosexual...

Faced with this crazy world, just smiling can't handle it.
When I first knew about the skin, I thought it was a youth drama full of promiscuity, alcohol, and drug addiction, or a middle-class version of gossip girl. In fact, when the wild world sounded at the end of the first season, the tears couldn't help flowing anymore.
The cynicism of the British evil...

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!

Emily: [laying in bed together] I wish I had a mom like that. Katie and me, we were always together. Everything together. Eating, sleeping... Until we were nine we used to take a dump at the same time.
Naomi: [laughing] Jesus!
Emily: Yeah. No secrets. There was no point.
Naomi: [beat, then serious] What about this one?
Emily: [beat] Naomi... I wanna tell people.
Naomi: That you're gay?
Emily: I wanna tell people about us. Come to the college ball with me.
Naomi: Why would I want to do that?
Emily: Why not?
Naomi: Em, it's nobody's business.
Emily: Why? Who cares what other people think?
Naomi: Emily, I'm not like you! I'm not sure, like you are.
Emily: What aren't you sure of?
Naomi: Can't thinks ever be complicated?
Emily: Fine, you like boys, too.
Naomi: Maybe. Maybe I like only boys, apart from you.
Emily: Well, that's fucking great! You're so in touch with yourself, aren't you?
[beat]
Emily: Come to the ball with me, like we're together.
Naomi: [beat, then Emily gets up] Don't do that.
Emily: No, you don't do that!
[gets dressed]
Emily: I'm not your fucking experiment! Where are my fucking shoes?
[looking around]
Emily: Oh, fuck it! Keep them! I'm tired... So sick and tired of it.
[looking intensely at Naomi, beat]
Emily: We're still holding hands through a catflap, aren't we?
[beat]
Emily: Have fun in Cyprus.
