Right, really clever. [ where's a spliff when he wants one? ] You're not the first person to call me boring.

[ also not the first person to claim to be disinterested while simultaneously not being able to leave well enough alone. ]

Jesus. You should hear yourself. It's incredibly–you know? [ use your words!! ] Messed up. None of this is a game. It was never supposed to be, anyway. [ and okay, he can be firm again. ] My life isn't a game for you but if you're going to play it like it is regardless, then take me from anywhere else.

The first day, the boat. The hospital.

Not– [ nopenopenope ] –from after that. It's no good, for anyone.

Hate to break it to you, but the muns will do wotever they want. It's a shit arrangement.

[lusterless]

There's got to be a way out of it. A way to negotiate.

They can't all be as shitty as the arrangement.

[easy_a]

Good luck then, mate. I couldn't get my mun to do shit if I tried.

Maybe you won't have a bitch for a mun, though.

You'll learn quick enough that not one of them has our best interests in mind.

Are you telling me to quit while I'm ahead, Katie?

[wag]

Why waste time on something that's not going to get you any results, yeah?

[ you're not supposed to give up just because something isn't working out like you want it to. like his mum. or Effy. and he always gives up, doesn't he? walks away. finds a better reason to be above it. ]

I don't know. If I don't try and nothing changes, doesn't that make me worse off?

[tohide]

It's all just a game isn't? [And cue in the lovely Effy Stonem.] Our life, their lives. In some form or another we're all being played with.

We're all here for someone else's amusement. Doesn't matter if we like it or not.

–Effy. [ he enjoys her incredibly positive outlook. well no, that's not entirely true. however, he does enjoy her company, so he's really not complaining. ]

We still get a say in the matter, yeah? A choice in where we go on the playing board.

[tohide]

Hello, Freddie. [ she offers up a smile. her outlook on life is hers alone. no one has to agree. ]

Maybe we do. There's always a chance that they'd hear us out and send us to a place that's not too bad. But then again I've never been so lucky.
