Skins s07e05 Episode Script

Er, hi.
I want to arrange an appointment.
Where you at? All right.
Ten minutes.
One thing I've learnt is that you should never look back.
The past is dead and buried.
You get nothing from living there.
It's all about today.
But I've been having these dreams.
In them, nothing's real.
Nothing's solid, everything's fantasy.
Fucked.
An illusion.
In these dreams, I'm a life that's already gone by.
Get in, mate Today means nothing.
What you after? Today is just a ghost that's haunting me.
Ugh! Agh! You really are fucking stupid, aren't you? Eh? Yeah? - 'Yeah, you got something for me?' - Same spot, mate.
I'm at the end of the world, on the edge of things, and I think about letting go.
Hey, gorgeous.
Got some sweeties for me? I think about falling.
My name is James Cook.
I did something once.
My ghosts won't let me forget it.
I told you not to come here.
I'm not fucking ya, so either buy some petrol or fuck off.
What, so I'm a fucking crack whore now? I'm not fucking ya.
I'm not fucking ya.
Ah! Ah, yeah! Oh! Ems I need somewhere to stay.
Ah, come on, man.
When are you going to get your own place? What's the point? The point is, we don't live together.
I'm just a bit sick of sleeping in me car, that's all.
I'll be home in four hours.
You can stay, yeah, until I get back.
All right.
Cheers.
Cheeky cunt.
Ba-doo ba-bow! Bop! Bop! Ha-ha-ha! Cook, man, what's happening? - How many so far? - Three.

The night is young and so are we.
Look after yourself, lad.
Once you run, you get used to being scared.
I don't even notice it any more.
A background hum.
But sometimes it gets loud, like someone's turned the volume right up.
You've got to feel it, really feel it.
Accept it.
And then it's just noise again.
But you'll never stop hearing it.
Not ever.
Police! Wake up! Oh fuck's sake! All right, I'm up! I'm up.
