The End of the F***ing World 2×8

James: She's not my girlfriend... But she was my friend.

James: Dread can start as a small thing. It's so quiet, you can pretend not to hear it. But it gets loud. Really loud... And you can't ignore it any more.

Alyssa: It's easy to feel like you're not in control of your life. That's because you're not. You can't stop things happening. You just have to deal with them when they do.

Alyssa: It's like a haunted house. Only I'm the ghost.

James: Oh, no...
Alyssa: What?
James: I didn't know when, but my dad had got a bit wet...
Alyssa: Oh, he's like a paste... It's still him.

James: Maybe I just... just sort of pour him.

James: I love you too.
Alyssa: Yeah, don't go on about it.

The End of the F***ing World 2×7

Sid: Stay safe.

Alyssa: What do you say to someone you abandoned in a car park? Do you want a scone?

Sid: He got shot in the head. And then put in a cupboard.
Alyssa: Right.
Sid: I keep saying cupboard. It's wardrobe... They put him in a wardrobe.

Sid: Stay safe.

Alyssa: Yeah, we killed him.
Bonnie: Then you have to get punished. People are supposed to get punished.

Alyssa: It's weird knowing you're going to die. You feel like you're old, and you know everything, so you don't give a shit anymore. We're not gonna say sorry.

Alyssa: The problem with a person having a lack of love is that they don't know what it looks like. So it's easy for them to get tricked, to see things that aren't there. But then I guess we all lie to ourselves all the time.

The End of the F***ing World 2×6

Alyssa: It's good... having spent that time with James. It's good to know that it doesn't work. I thought it wouldn't.

Alyssa: People say moments like this are like ripping off a plaster. The problem is that underneath the plaster, there's still quite a lot of shit.

Alyssa: Sometimes it's easier if you just leave the plaster on.

Alyssa: Hey, Iggy.
Iggy: Fuck off and die.

Alyssa: It's quite hard to put things right when everyone hates you, and you can't find your husband.

Alyssa: Sometimes, doing the right thing feels like committing a crime.

Alyssa: Sometimes I get so tired that I can't feel my edges anymore. It's like melting. But not in a good way.

The End of the F***ing World 2×5

Alyssa: Sometimes I hate waking up... You can pretend that things aren't your fault... that you're not a bad person... but deep down, you always know that you are.

James: Why would she have sex with him?
Alyssa: Her boyfriend died. She's got low self-esteem. People do all kinds of shit when they feel bad about themselves.

Alyssa: No one's judging you. You just slept with him. I don't care. You had your reasons. We've all done stuff we regret.

Alyssa: She's weird. She does weird things. It's not that interesting.

James: Why can't you ask nicely?

James: I never knew if Alyssa was aware of it, but she could make a room feel colder than it actually was...

James: This is called a Lazy Susan. I often found that tension could be diffused with facts. So you can pass the food round more easily. They're actually...
Alyssa: Fuck's sake, James.
James: Not always, though.

---

Alyssa: Can you stop saying the word "murdered" please?

James: This is my dad...

James: You can't... You can't kiss someone and then be mean. It's confusing.

Kevan: My name is Kevan. With an "A".

Bonnie: Has anyone ever killed someone you loved?... Do you ever wake up in the night feeling like your skin's been screaming 'cause it misses someone so much?

Alyssa: I'm not the answer, James.

Alyssa: What about Bonnie?
James: Fuck Bonnie.

The End of the F***ing World 2×4

Alyssa: How long were you waiting?
Bonnie: Not long.

Alyssa: Well, it's the middle of nowhere. You're on your own. So you're either in danger, or you're mental.

Alyssa: What the fuck is wrong with your car, James? It's literally the bane of our life.
James: It was nice she said "our life".

James: Everything was refusing to go to plan. But then... we had no plan. That was the problem.

Alyssa: I can't believe this is my wedding night...

Motel Owner: Are you feeling like a bit of a spare part?
Bonnie: What?
Motel Owner: Well, three's a crowd. Four's a riot.... Well, I can sit down if you want.

Motel Owner: You don't have to touch it... You can just watch.

James: It's going to be okay, Alyssa...
Alyssa: Maybe James is right... and it is gonna be okay. Maybe it will all work out. Or maybe, as usual... everything is completely fucked.

The End of the F***ing World 2×3

Alyssa: Why is it that the more you have to say, the harder it is to speak?

Alyssa: ..... You should take a shower.

Alyssa: My heart's beating in my face.

James: I definitely preferred being shot.

Alyssa: Sometimes you can choose to not be a dick.

James: How was the wedding?
Alyssa: Yeah, it was fine.
James: That's good.

Alyssa: Being shit runs in my family. It's in my blood. Which means I can't help it.

---

Alyssa: I know it was your home or whatever, but you don't need to cry. It's just been towed.

Alyssa: How did he die, your dad?
James: Heart attack. Bad diet, no exercise.
Alyssa: Shit. It's probably how I'll go.

James: On paper, things looked quite bleak for me. I was a homeless orphan on the run with a married woman. But no matter how bad life got... there was always something good. You had to focus on the good.

Alyssa: We should stop.
James: What?
Alyssa: The hitchhiker. She's a woman. She's on her own. What if some weirdo picks her up?

The End of the F***ing World 2×2

Alyssa: Actually, I am okay. I don't really feel anything any more. It's good not feeling. It's like a superpower.

Todd: You know Finland? Doesn't actually exist. It's a fabricated landmass made up by the Russians in the Cold War.

Alyssa: He's kind of like a dog. In a good way.

Alyssa: Getting married young is one of the most renegade things you can do these days.

Alyssa: It's hard to feel frightened of someone who can't spell your name right.

James: ...And then I didn't die.

James: I didn't feel lucky. I felt like I was being punished.

James: It's funny, the way people lie to be kind.

The End of the F***ing World 2×1

Bonnie: I learnt about punishment from a young age. I learnt it happens because of love...

Bonnie: Life can be hard. Mum taught me how to cope with it...

Bonnie: Sometimes a small decision can lead to something big. Something really big...

Clive Koch: Foucault is an embarrassment. He has no class.

Clive Koch: "Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you". Sartre.

Clive Koch: Be the protagonist in your own story. And that story begins with an act of intellectual defiance.

---

Bonnie: I was interested.
Clive Koch: In what?
Bonnie: In what the point is. Of anything.

Clive Koch: Ah. Exams rank different levels of mediocrity, that's all. Exceptional people don't do well at them.

Bonnie: Has it happened yet?
Clive Koch: What?
Bonnie: The love?
Clive Koch: Nearly. But, er, we're finished for tonight.

Bonnie: Love makes you feel quite clear about what is right and what is wrong. And when someone has done something wrong, they have to get punished.

Bonnie: I used feel like I maybe wasn't real. Like I was made up of nothing. But when you fall in love, the nothing feeling is eaten by a something feeling, which is eaten by an everything feeling. You swallowed me. And set me free.

The End of the F***ing World 1×8

Episode #1.8

Alyssa: I think it is OK. We've got, like, our whole lives.

Alyssa: I think I hate my dad more than I hate my mum.
James: Me, too. I hate both of mine, but definitely hate my dad more.
Alyssa: Why?
James: 'Cause she died and he didn't.

Alyssa: It's much easier to think someone's the answer if you haven't seen them for years. Because they're not really real. People can't be answers. They're just more questions.

Leslie: Who did you kill?

Eunice: Happy birthday, by the way.

Alyssa: You shouldn't just make people if you're going to abandon them because they think they've done something wrong their whole lives.

James: I've just turned 18. And I think I understand... what people mean to each other.

Alyssa: We're in trouble.
Leslie: Pregnant?
Alyssa: Worse.
Leslie: How much worse?
Alyssa: A lot.

Alyssa: He's all right. He's actually, genuinely all right.

Leslie: You never thrown a knife before?... Take your shirt off.

Leslie: Hope you like well done. Well done as in, like, fucking cremated.

Leslie: The wisest thing anyone's ever said to me, right? Wanna hear this?... "To be mad in a deranged world is not madness. It's sanity."
Alyssa: Who said that?
Leslie: Me.
Alyssa: He's basically Gandhi.

James: Sometimes, it was important to lie...

Alyssa: We have to kill it.
James: Yeah.

The End of the F***ing World 1×6

Episode #1.6

James: After the murder, other crimes seemed pretty easy by comparison...

Alyssa: We did the world a favor. If I was the police, I'd give us fucking medals or something. They probably will...
James: They didn't.

Stella: Well... if you get cancer, you'll only have yourself to blame, won't you?

Stella: Ugh. Eight o'clock in the morning...

Alyssa: If this is what gets us caught, I'm going to kill myself... From shame.

Tori: I'm sorry, why on earth would you give a 13-year-old boy a hunting knife?
Phil: Well, he asked for it... Actually, no, he asked for a machete. But I said that was a bit full on.

Frodo: I don't like my life.
Alyssa: So, do something.

Alyssa: We're proper bandits, James!

Alyssa: James, we killed a rapist, turned our backs on the law, and I'm finally gonna meet my dad again. It's mega! Come on.

Alyssa: Sometimes you realize you had a thing keeping you going that might be a lie... When you actually really understand that, that the whole thing might have been a lie the whole time, it's like you swallowed a stone. But not recently. You swallowed it years ago.

James: Isn't it a bit fucked up, wearing his clothes?
Alyssa: I think the fucked-up bit was murdering him.

James: Dead people are heavier than alive people. I read that.
Alyssa: Good to know.

Eunice: Clive Koch. Late forties.
Teri: Clive what?

Teri: For sex, right?
Topher: No. We never had sex!
Teri: The sex or lack thereof is not why you're here.

Topher: Almost pretty, but... actually average.
Teri: Do you want to give her a score out of ten?

Topher: ...And this weird jacket.
Eunice: Weird, like, how?
Topher: It was, like, quite shit. Weird because it was quite shit, but sort of cool because it was? Do you know what I mean?

James: Do you want mustard, too?
Alyssa: On chips?

James: That was the day I learned that silence is really loud... Deafening... When you have silence, it's hard to keep stuff out.

Episode #1.3

Alyssa: Sometime James feels like a boy I could love... Then other times he feels like a total fucking stranger.

Alyssa: I sometimes wonder if I should just become an alcoholic. It means you've always got something to do.

Alyssa: The world is fucking bleak. I guess I try and do things to forget that it is. Keep busy, keep blind.

Topher: She is a fucking prick-tease bitch.
James: Right, yeah. I'll tell her.

James: When her eyes were closed... Alyssa looked a lot less angry.

Episode #1.2

James: Do you think it's gonna explode?
Alyssa: It's not a film. If this was a film, we'd probably be American.

Alyssa: Guess what freedom smells like?
James: What?
Alyssa: Cow shit.

James: I wasn't sure sex was something you could just go along with, especially not as a man. It's OK for women. They can just lie back, think of England. Us men, we have to be England.

James: Sometimes, I just... let things happen. Even though I didn't want them to. I'm not sure why.

Alyssa: A double room with a double bed for double sex. I really need to cry.

James: I'm James. I'm 17. And I'm pretty sure I'm a psychopath.

Phil: I thought probably he was gay. Which is... That's fine. Like... Obviously. But, uh, here you are.
Alyssa: Maybe I'm gay. Maybe he's asexual. We're dealing with a really broad spectrum these days.

Alyssa: Sometimes, everything is suddenly really simple. It's like everything shifts in a moment. And you step out of your body, out of your life. You step out and you see where you are really clearly. You see yourself. And you think... Fuck. This. Shit.
