3.16 - Take On Me
=========================================
The episode starts off with Ellie walking into the school with an elastic band around her wrist.' She snaps it a few times.' Mr. Raditch is in the cafeteria talking with Jimmy, Hazel, Sean, and Toby, giving them the rules about Saturday detention.' When he begins to leave, Sean responds with a burp.'
Raditch: "I heard that, Mr. Cameron.'
After the credits, Sean is throwing a ball against the walls and he and Jimmy have an exchange of words.' Sean throws the ball at the ceiling and one of tiles falls on Ellie's bag.
Ellie: "Great, you got it on my bag."
Sean: "Is anything broken'"
He reaches for the bag and Ellie snatches it away.
Out in the hallway, Mr. Raditch displays his dancing skills.' Back in the cafeteria, all five of the kids work together to put the tile back in the ceiling.' Sean hatches a plan that leads Jimmy holding the table while Sean holds Toby up who places the tile in its correct place.' Hazel is standing by, directing them. Toby begins whining about being scared of heights and when the tile is finally placed in its correct spot, they all fall down on the floor.' Ellie reaches her hand out to Sean and he takes it and she helps him up.' They look at each other for a moment and then Mr. Raditch busts them and instructs all of them to separate in the room.' Sean walks away and Ellie stands there and looks at him.
Hazel: "Please tell me that clock is wrong!"
Sean: You got plans'
Hazel: I have social engagements.
Sean: "Like what' Do you have to lick Paige's boots before you go out'"
Jimmy stands up to him in Hazel's defense.
The conversation shifts to why all of them are there.
Sean: 'I have to be here for eight weeks. Anti-social behavior.'
Hazel: 'Big surprise there."
Hazel snickers under her breath.
Sean: 'Why are you here'?
Ellie: "I was caught skipping school.' (pause) 'What'? I didn't feel like going."
Jimmy: "That's a great story, Ellie.'
Sean: "Do you have one any better'"
Jimmy and Toby's reasons are clear seeing that they recently got caught trying to hack into the school computer to change Jimmys math grade.' They ask Hazel why she's there, but she hesitates and' takes the hall pass.' She leaves kind of huffy and goes for a walk, ending up in the gym.' She spots Mr. Raditch wearing some sweaty spandex shorts, bouncing on a huge ball, supposedly exercising.' He tells her its a "Swiss ball from
When she returns to the room, all five of them are mocking Mr. Raditch.' Ellie suggests that they play Truth or Dare.' Everyone picks truth so naturally they all ask Hazel why she's there.' Hazel changes her mind and picks Dare so Jimmy dares her to kiss Toby.' And what does she do'? She marches over to Toby, sits on his lap, and kisses him.
Hazel: "Satisfied'"
Toby shakes his head.
Toby: 'I'm gonna tell JT!'
Hazel: 'You better not!'
Then we see Mr. Simpson outside.
Sean sits next to Ellie who covers the journal she's been keeping. It says, 'Sean stole some milk'.' She covers it up and he has a personal talk with her about rumors.
Sean: 'I say you.'
Ellie looks clueless.
Sean: 'Snap the elastic on your wrist. So, why'?
She doesn't answer.
Sean: 'Sorry, I didn't think you were hiding it.'
Ellie: 'It's a therapy technique. It stops me from . . . you know--'"
Sean nods.
Sean: "So, why did you cut'"
Ellie talks about pain.
Sean: "I understand."
The subject shifts to rumors and Ellie says something about rumors being more interesting and Sean says that he doubts it.' Ellie says that they're rumors about him too.
Sean: "That I steal stuff'"
Ellie: "Yeah, but you don't know anything about that right'"
Sean: (whispering) "Yeah . . . because I steal it."
Mr. Raditch bursts into the room and Ellie clicks her tape recorder off.' He yells at them and then separates them into separate rooms.' Ellie is sitting alone in a classroom, listening to the part of her tape when Sean says "I do... because I steal them" over and over. She takes the tape out and goes over to Hazel's classroom, explaining she can't sit there alone for three more hours. She suggests they go somewhere.
Hazel: "Your quite cool, Miss Nash."
They leave to get the others. Later on, four of them are walking to get Sean and Jimmy suggests they leave without him.
Ellie: "No one gets left behind.'
Hazel seems like she senses that Ellie likes Sean. They get to his class and tell him to come.
Sean: "I don't do group activities."
Hazel: "What if Ellie wants you to come'"
Ellie: "Hazel!"
She leaves. Sean stands up and goes. Then they are all walking down the hall and then doing this dance in a train to pass time. They were walking around the school and end up in a basement that they didn't know existed.' They discover an elevator that is locked.' Jimmy goes and gets the keys from the janitors closet.' They take the elevator all the way up and then see a ladder when they get out. They climb up and Toby is hugging the ladder because he's scared of heights. He gets on the roof last and is practically crawling across the ground. The others split into twos.
Hazel: "Thanks for sticking up for me with Sean"
Jimmy: "No sweat."
Hazel: "Do you think we're the only students who have ever been up here'"
Jimmy: "Nope.'
He picks up a necklace.
Hazel: "Oh, its so pretty. Keep it. You found it.'
Jimmy: "It would look better on you."
He puts it around her neck. He leans in and kisses her.
Hazel: "What was that for'"
Jimmy: "For making you kiss Toby, I guess."
They laugh about it.
Next we see Ellie and Sean. They are sitting on this pipe thing, and talking.
Sean: "You carry that bag everywhere, huh'"
Ellie: "Its a psycho girl thing. Emphasis on psycho."
Sean: "I think you're cute." Ellie smiles.
Sean: "I guess I got to you."
Ellie: "Dream on."
Sean lays down on the roof, relaxing. Ellie lays down next to him.' He asks her if she's scared of him and she asks him if she freaks him out.' They both say no and Ellie reveals her cuts on her arms, which some look fresh. Sean sits up a bit, and touches the cuts, and then he moves his fingers up her arm and they hold hands and bring their arms down.
Cut to Toby lying on the ground. He goes to the edge and throws a rock. Then he goes back and stands up.' Mr. Simpson and Mr. Raditch are on the ground talking and the principal spots Toby on the roof.' Toby yells at the others that he's coming and they all run back to their classrooms, but Sean's door is locked.' Jimmy comes to help, but Sean tells him to beat it, but he doesn’t. He struggles to find the right key and finally does before Raditch gets there, but he drops the keys in the hall.' He leaves them and Raditch finds them.' He asks them who stole them and Toby speaks up that he took it.' Raditch states his disapproval and then tells all of them to go home.
Jimmy: "Toby, that was cool.' I didn’t expect it."
Hazel: (as they slap high five) "Aww, group hug."
Ellie: "Wait.' I've got an instant camera.,"
She reaches for her bag, but drops it, causing the recording of her and Sean to go off.' Sean yanks it from her and steps on it in front of her face.' She tries to explain that it was for her Co-op job and that she wasn't going to use names.
Hazel: "Not cool, Ellie!"
Monday morning rolls around and Jimmy and Hazel are walking together and they say hi to Toby and JT.
JT: "What happened on Saturday'"
Toby: "Wouldn't you like to know'"
Then Sean and Jimmy say hey and Sean walks to his locker and Ellie is there.
Sean: "What to you want'"
She gives him the right tape and tells him there is no story.
Ellie: "She says what happened on the roof is the truth."
Sean throws the tape in his locker.
Sean: "So I don't freak you out either'"
Ellie: "Not at all"
They take each other's hand and hold them together in the air and Ellie has a huge smile.
Roll End Credits

DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION
3X17: DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER
------------------------------------------------
We start off by seeing Hazel, Jimmy, Spinner and Paige discussing a trip they plan on taking on Saturday. Paige just finished gushing about how she'll be driving them in her parents mini-van, that it'll be a beautiful Saturday and they're not wasting a second of it.
Spinner, Hazel, and Jimmy all yell together "Shotgun!"
Spinner: Uh, she's my girlfriend.
Hazel: My best friend.
Jimmy: I smell better than both of you, so...
Paige: No bickering passengers. I'll just have to assign checks.
Terri walks up to the table, looking rather pretty.
Terri: Hey guys. What's going on?
Paige: Road trip. My folks are away and I've got the car keys.
Terri: (Sighs)Have fun
.
Hazel: What? Ter, you're totally coming.
Terri: You'll be with Jimmy, Spinner will be with Paige, and I...
Hazel: Will be with your friends, idiot.
Terri: It's..not exactly the same.
Paige: So then bring someone, whatever.
Spinner leans his face on Paige's shoulder and get's all lovey-dovey.
Spinner: Um, can I please have the front seat?
Paige: You'll just have to wait your turn.
Spinner: No.
Paige: Okay?
Spinner: Come on...
Paige laughs. Terri looks miserable as she watches them.
Credits!
Ms. Kwan's class is in the gym practicing mime movement with a partner.
Rick watches Terri as he works on his.
Ms. Kwan: Okay guys, great work. But now it's time to move on to trust exercises. So find a new partner and decide who's A and who's B.
Everybody scans out and grabs a new partner (Isn't Marco suppose to be in this class? I can't seem to notice him!). Rick walks up behind Terri, who appears to have none.
Rick: (Smiling)Which ever you want.
Terri turns around and just looks at him for a second.
Terri: Fine. I'll be A.
Ms. Kwan: Okay, I want the As to stand behind the Bs(Takes Terri to use as an example) and I want you to turn your backs to Bs like this. Bs, open your arms, because the As are gonna fall back into them.
Paige and Spinner try it. Paige falls back and Spinner catches her. They laugh and do it again. Terri looks at Rick, who has his arms ready.
Rick: Do you honestly think I'm going to drop you? 'Cause I'm not.
Terri turns around and reluctantly falls back into his arms. He catches her.
Rick: (Smiles)That wasn't so bad, was it?
Terri looks at him and gives a little smile
The bell rings and everybody exits the class. Terri and Rick walk out together, Rick talking enthusiastically.
Rick: I'm just desperate for a real opportunity to develop our real acting jobs.
Terri: We did Marco's play.
Rick: I don't mean amateurish theatrics, I mean the classics like Brech or Ibsen.
Terri: Hey, there's a mime unit next week.
Rick: Oh yeah great, just what the world needs. More people walking against the wind.
They both laugh. Rick stops and looks at her.
Rick: I wanted to call you...so many times. I just didn't know what to say accept, I'm sorry...for my temper and what I did. I-I never meant to hurt you....I-look, I missed you.
Terri: I know what you mean.
Rick: It was..it was all my fault, but if there's any way, any way that you think-
Terri: I'll..I'll see you in Bio, okay?
Terri walks away and Rick just watches her.
Now we're in the Media Immersions room. The bell has just rang for everybody to be dismissed.
Snake: Okay, hey, before you all scatter here are your pop quizzes back(Hands them out). Well done.
Marco stands up.
Marco: Um, just so you know Mr Simpson, the substitute wasn't nearly as much fun as you. We're all glad to have you back.
Everybody applauds in agreement.
Snake: Awww, just so you know, applause won't improve your grade. (Several students groan) By a few percent.
Ellie gathers up her stuff.
Marco: So El, tomorrow? Pathar Pancheli and Parash Pathar? (Note: I had the subtitles on for that. They aren't pronounced like that exactly.)
Ashley: You guys are ordering Indian food?
Ellie: Close. Seeing A Double Bill.
Marco: A classic Indian cinema.
Ashley: And you really think Sean's gonna sit through that?
Ellie: Why would Sean come?
Ashley: Well, it's a Saturday, right? You guys are seeing eachother.
Ellie: So? Doesn't mean things change with my friends.
Ashley: Change isn't automatically bad, El.
We now see a building. There is a sign that says "CQJH." Now we are in a meetings
room. Caitlin and Ellie are watching a tape of Caitlin chatting about some kind of enviromental issue, maybe. They're watching it on a small TV while sitting at a meeting table.
Ellie: It's fantastic, Caitlin.
Caitlin: I always cringe at myself on tape.
Somebody knocks at the door and a lady let's Sean in. Ellie and Caitlin look at eachother suprised.
Sean: Security cameras? I thought tape recorders were the next big thing.
Ellie smiles.
Cailtin: I think I hear Tomas calling.
Caitlin leaves the room.
Ellie: Suprise drop in. Unexpected, but nice.
Sean: Ellie Nash said nice. (Takes her hands and pulls her up from the chair)So tomorrow.
Ellie: Yes?
Sean: It's the opening weekend of "Elimination: Round Three."
Ellie doesn't say anything.
Sean: It's a movie. An action franchise. Do you wanna-
Ellie: Yes.
Sean: You can take your time.
Ellie: Oh, but...
Sean: What? Is there a problem?
Ellie: No. That would be..nice.
Sean smiles.
It's Saturday. At The Dot Grill, Hazel, Jimmy, Spinner and Paige are sitting at a table laughing.
Spinner: Anyways, whatever you do, don't order chilli.
Suddenly Terri walks into The Dot with Rick.
Terri: Hey guys. Sorry I'm so late.
Rick: Terri, can I buy you a late`?
Terri: So sweet. (To the guys)I'll be right back.
Terri goes with Rick. Everyone looks at eachother in shock.
Hazel: I must be hellucinating.
Jimmy: I hope so.
Paige: I so refuse to drive that freak around all day.
Spinner: Paige.
Jimmy: No, Spin, she's right.
Spinner: Yeah, but if we leave him behind garranteed we leave Terri behind.
Hazel: Without any of us to look out for her.
Jimmy: And then it's open season for Rick again.
We see Rick and Terri drinking their lat`e's together.
Now we see a big poster that says Elimination: Round 2. "Time to take the battle to THEM!" It shows two men with machine guns. Ellie and Marco are walking through the mall on their way to the theater.
Ellie: Marco, come on.
Marco: (Sarcastically)What, we wouldn't wanna miss a second of Elimination Round..whatever.
I must point out that Marco here is looking the cutest he's probably ever looked. Ever. With the brown jacket and tight jeans topped with his signature yellow hat(See picture with him and Dylan in my slideshow). Anyway, they meet up with Jay, Alex, and Sean.
Ellie: Sorry.
Marco: Hello Jay.
Jay just looks at Marco wierdly.
Jay: Uhh....yeah. You know what, Alex, I'm hungry. Why don't you go get me some popcorn.
Alex: Give me twenty bucks and I will.
Marco and Ellie just look at eachother. Jay and Alex go to the concession stand together. Sean looks at Marco.
Ellie: I already had plans with Marco, so I thought I'd ask him.
Sean looks sighs unhappily.
Ellie: Is there a problem?
Sean: Lets get seats.
We're now at a park. We see a couple smaking out in a convertible. Paige pulls the van up and parks right next to a picnic table. Everybody loads out.
Terri: (To Rick)It's a great day.
Spinner runs over and sits by Paige at the picnic table. He begins stuffing some kind of food into his mouth from a paper bag.
Paige: Ew, Spin, you are turning my stomach! Can you please eat like a person?
Rick takes a seat up on top of the front of the van.
Rick: Come on Ter, why don't you sit here?
Paige: (Snobbishly)Uh, Rick, I would rather you not dent my parents' van with your butt.
Rick: I'm not hurting it.
Terri: Rick, come sit over here with me.
Rick goes and sits by Terri.
Terri: Just don't even worry about it.
Rick: I'll try not to.
We now see Sean, Ellie and Marco sitting in a dark, packed movie theater. There is a lot of action music coming from the screen and then an explosion. Ellie and Marco start laughing(The only ones). Sean looks at them annoyed. Somebody throws popcorn at Marco. They stop laughing. Marco goes to grab some popcorn from the bag Ellie is holding, just as Sean was. But since Marco got his hand in first, Sean retrieves his, looking even more annoyed.
Back at the park. Jimmy and Spinner are playing frisbee. Terri and Rick are sitting down talking.
Rick: I'll be over there, so if you need me..
Terri: Okay.
Rick takes off. Paige walks to where Terri is, looking rather tense.
Paige: Hey, want to uh, play some frisbee with us? I need to show Spin and thing or two.
Terri: Maybe later. Rick wants to talk.
Paige sits down next to her.
Paige: You know, you should come over tonight. Just hang out, dish with the girls.
Terri: I'm fine Paige. There's nothing to worry about.
Paige: (Angry)So what, you're just forgiven creep-boy for beating you up?
Terri: He apologized.
Paige: Of course! His type always does so they can get another shot in at you.
Rick walks up from behind the van.
Rick: One, you have no right to dictate who Terri's friends are. And two, you're a vicious backstabber.
Paige: Oh, I'm vicious?
Rick: Everything you say is a judgement. You think you're so perfect.
Paige: What?! Well I'd rather be that than a psycho!
Rick looks angry. He kicks the van in frusteration and storms off. Terri stands up and confronts Paige.
Terri: Rick's right. I'm so sick and tired of you pushing me around telling me what to do, I'm sick of it!
Paige: Fine. If I'm such a bad friend, go after him. Go!
Terri glares at her and then goes and follows Rick. Paige sighs in frusteration.
Now we see Rick stopping near the woods. There appear to be concrete blocks lying around. Rick kicks the air angrily. Terri catches up to him.
Terri: I'm so sorry about Paige.
Rick: It doesn't matter. She does not matter!
Terri: Please Rick, calm down.
Rick: (Calming down)I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just-I'm so happy. You know, just-that we're together again.
Rick leans in and kisses her.
Rick: We were made for eachother.
Terri smiles, holding his hand.
Terri: Come back. We'll ignore Paige.
Rick: No, no, let's walk.
Terri: It's really far.
Rick pulls Terri back.
Rick: She called me a psycho.
Terri: That's just Paige being Paige.
Now things are starting to look tense(My heart pounding). Rick grabs both of Terri's arms firmly. You can hear the terrifying anger rise in his voice.
Rick: And that makes it okay? My feelings mean nothing to you?
Terri starts to get distressed.
Terri: Woah..Rick...
Rick: Don't you dare choose Paige over me again. Don't you dare.
Terri: I'm going back..okay?
Rick: You c-c-c-can't leave, do you understand?
Terri: Rick, you're hurting me!
Rick: You're not going. You're not! You're not! You're not!
Rick pushes Terri. She falls back and smacks her head on a concrete block and loses conciousness. Rick gives a frightened gasp and stares in utter shock of what he had just done.
We now see Hazel and Spinner chatting with a bunch of people. Spinner notices Paige looking nervous and walks up to her.
Spinner: Earth to Paige.
Paige: Terri's not back yet.
Spinner: No?(Turns to everybody else)Be right back.
Spinner and Paige walk through the bushes and see Rick kneeling down in the opening of the woods.
Spinner: There's Rick. Maybe Terri's..
.
He trails off as they see that Rick is leaning over Terri's unconcious body.
Paige: Oh my God..Terri...
Rick stands up staring at them as if to say either it was an accident or it wasn't him. He runs off.
Paige: Terri!
Spinner and Paige run up to her unconcious body. Paige kneels over her.
Paige: Terri...(To Spinner)Okay, get your cell now!
Spinner runs off. Paige holds Terri's head. Blood comes off the back of her head onto Paige's hand
Paige: Oh my God, Terri! Terri, please!
Now at school. Mr Raditch is speaking on the video announcements. Everybody in the Media Immersions room is listening.
Mr Raditch: And finally, as some of you may know, Terri McGregor is in the hospital with injuries that she sustained over the weekend. I know I speak for all of Degrassi when I wish her a speedy recovery. Thank you.
The announcements end. Marco raises his hand.
Marco: Uh, sir, was this like an accident, or-
Spinner: It was no accident.
Ashley: So, then is Rick in jail?
Snake: I know everyone's upset. But we're not allowed to talk details.
Spinner: Yeah, okay, I was there. I know what happened.
Snake: Gavin.
Spinner: If Rick steps one foot in Degrassi he'll be the one in intensive care.
Snake: Those involved were minors, so once again, we can't talk details. What we can do is discuss our feelings together.
Spinner: Why should we protect that peice of-
Snake: We can brainstorm what we can do for Terri. And thoughts?
Paige: We made a card. Um, we thought everybody could sign it.
Snake: Well that's a great idea Paige, thanks. Why don't you pass it around.
Paige passes a huge card with a picture of Terri in the middle of it. Then she just sits there sadly.
Now we see Ellie and Marco sitting on the school's front steps at lunch eating something with chopsticks.
Ellie: I could go with Ash, but..I didn't really know Terri. Feels morbid.
Marco: Well, we can go together, if you want.
Sean walks out of the school's front doors and pushes his way in between Ellie and Marco.
Sean: Hey.
Ellie: Hi.
Sean continues to shove Marco farther and farther away. Taking a hint, Marco stands up.
Ellie: Marco?
Marco: Look, it's fine. I'll just see you in English.
Marco walks into the school. Ellie just shakes her head at Sean.
Sean: What? I just wanted to spend time alone.
Ellie: Got your wish.
Ellie gets up and walks away. Sean just sits there looking rejected.
Now we see a hospital building. From there we see Spinner and Paige(holding the card) walking down the hospital wing and stop at a window. Inside we see Terri lying on a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on and a white bandage around her head. Terri's dad walks up to the window. He looks at Spinner and Paige.
Mr McGregor: Hey, Paige, Spinner. Whatcha got there?
Paige: It's a card for Terri. The school signed it.
Mr McGregor: (Takes card)Oh that's great. Thanks. Thanks for coming.
Paige: How is she?
Mr McGregor: Surgery tonight. They found a blood clot.
Spinner: But she's gonna be okay.
Mr McGregor: It's a big operation. But hey yeah, she's gonna pull through. She's a fighter, my little baby.
They looks at Terri in the bedroom again.
Mr McGregor: How could anybody do this to her?
Paige: I know.
Mr McGregor: Rick. I mean, Terri was over the moon for the guy.
Paige looks at Spinner without saying anything.
Mr McGregor: What? You knew he was abusive?
Spinner: No, Mr McGregor.
..
Mr McGregor: (Angry)For how long?
Paige: (Crying)We tried to talk to her.
Mr McGregor: What about me? Why wouldn't-why didn't you talk to me?
Paige: We thought it was under control.
Mr McGregor: You still think it's under control?!
Spinner and Paige look at Terri lying in the hospitasl bed. Mr McGregor walks into the room. Paige walks away crying. Spinner follows her.
Now we see Paige and Spinner drive up to The Dot. Paige stops right in front of it.
Spinner prepares to get out when he sees Paige begin to sob again.
Spinner: Hey, she's gonna be okay.
Spinner leans in and gives her a small kiss. Paige brings his face back and starts kissing him even harder. Spinner pulls away.
Paige: What? What!
Spinner: I should go. We shouldn't do this. Not-not tonight.
Paige: Excuse me?
Spinner: You're upset. Because of Terri.
Paige: This has got nothing to do with Terri.
Spinner doesn't say anything.
Paige: I can't believe this! None of this would have happened if you had let me leave Rick behind at The Dot!
Spinner looks rather taken aback by this and doesn't say anything for a second.
Spinner: I'm not the one who told her to go off with him.
Spinner gets and out of the car and leaves. Paige continues to sob.
Marco and Ellie are sitting at the counter at The Dot. They notice Spinner storm behind them and look for a second.
Ellie: I should dump him.
Marco: Sean?
Ellie: You're worth six Seans. He can't be that rude and then expect me to stick around.
Marco: Sean's rude, El? What do you call bringing Marco the human security blanket on a double date?
Ellie: Marco the what?
Marco: Look, I know you want everything to stay the same. But Sean can be great for you, if you let him.
Ellie just thinks to herself without saying anything.
Assuming it's later on in the day, we see Spinner walking around the outside of the school. He sees Paige driving up and preparing to park in the lot. He continues walking when he sees Rick sitting in a car parked in the very front of the school, looking miserable. Looking angry, Spinner goes up to the car and bangs on the window.
Spinner: What are you doing here?
Spinner opens the door and yanks Rick out. He bangs him against the car, Rick shielding himself with his arms.
Spinner: Terri's in the hospital and you're just sitting here?!
Rick: (Frantic)Spinner, stop! Please!
Spinner: Oh did Terri tell you to stop? Did you listen?!
Spinner raises his fist. Paige runs up behind him and grabs him.
Paige: Spinner, just-just let him go!
Suddenly Rick's mom comes out of the school holding a box and sees what's occuring.
Rick's Mom: (With some accent)Stop it! Let him go!
She pushes Spinner away.
Rick's Mom: You stay away from my son. Both of you!
Rick's mom pushes Rick back into the car. Spinner runs off. Paige follows him and finds him sitting at one of the outside tables sobbing. Paige sits beside him.
Paige: Spinner honey...
Spinner: I'm just like him. Violent...
Paige: No. You stopped yourself. You're different, okay? You are.
Paige puts her arm around him as they cry together
We see Ellie walking down the school halls. She approaches Sean at his locker.
Ellie: Sean. Listen..I'm...
Sean: Aren't we through?
Ellie: Okay, are you like, dumping me?
Sean: (Confused)Didn't you already dump me?
Ellie: Let's try this again. I'm here to apologize. I haven't been a very good girlfriend. But you haven't been that great a boyfriend either.
Sean: Look, I...I don't hate Marco, okay?It's just..well I'm dating you.
Ellie: I've never done this before. Like a real relationship thing. So, if I don't totally know how it works...
Sean: Then you can ask me.
They smile at eachother and kiss.
Now we're in the hospital again. Mr McGregor is sitting next to Terri on her hospital bed. The oxygen mask is gone but she's got a huge white bandage wrapped around her head. We see Spinner and Paige appear at the window.
Paige: Spin, let's just go, okay?
Spinner: No. Let's stay. We'll be fine.
Mr McGregor sees them and walks out of the room.
Mr McGregor: Um, we still don't know the extent of the damage. But, she came through the surgery, that's one big hurdle.
Paige: Well, we are so glad. And...we're so sorry.
Mr McGregor: Oh no, no, I was way out of line yesterday.
Spinner: You were upset.
Mr McGregor: At you and at myself. Rick was at our place all the time, I don't know why I didn't see.
Paige: But we saw and we should have said something.
Mr McGregor looks back into the room from the window.
Mr McGregor: I better get back to her just in case she comes around. Thanks for coming, guys. You're good friends.
Mr McGregor walks back into the room and sits on Terri's hospital bed again. Paige leans her head on Spinner's shoulder as they look at her.

Hazel: I totally get how you feel Ashley. I was creeped out by the whole hospital thing at first.
Paige: But Ter is like 200% better. Pink cheeks, she could wake up any minute!
Ashley: All right I'll go with you guys next time, after we win the band thing to tell her about it.
Ms Kwan: Good morning. We'll begin today by reading contributions from your creative writing journals. Who't first?
Ashley: *hands up* These are the lyrics to a song I just wrote. “Black, twisted agony. The fires of chaos burn on. Run for her tombstone before it't too late. The blood runs cold in her veins.”
*Craig and Marco quietly laughing*
Ms. Kwan: Great, uh just great. Let't leave our discussion until we've heard more shall we?
-Out in the hall-
Ashley: I can't believe no one said a thing about my song.
Paige: Um hun, I don't think anyone got it.
Ashley: It't about a girl who died in the Spanish civil war.
Craig: Yeah, um I feel her pain.
Ellie: I hate to be brutal…
Ashely: But you're going to anyway…
Ellie: You're supossed to write about things you've experienced.
Hazel: Yeah like your ex!
Ashley: I just can't pretend to forgive or forget. Gonna make the day you met me, a day you'll regret.
Ellie: I think Craig't in trouble.
-Outside Joey't house-
Joey: Uh Ang, be careful with that bag, it has the eggs in it, ok?
Angie: Aunty Caitlin watch!! *Jumping down the steps as she drops eggs on the ground*
Joey: Angela Elizabeth! What did I just say!?
Caitlin: Hey, are you alright?
Joey: See this is what happens when little girls don't go to bed on time!
Caitlin: Don't cry Angie! C'mon…
Joey: Ah she't fine.
Caitlin: I know. You wanna see something really cool? Watch this!! *cartwheels* Can your fuddy duddy daddy do that, huh!?
Angie: No!! He't old and no fun!
Joey: Oh really! Watch this! *handstands* I am a fun machine! *falls down right on his back*
Caitlin: Oh Joey are you okay?
Joey: Oh no, oh no no no no no no.
-At a record store in the mall-
Craig: Ashley! Wait, listen. I've been thinking about things between us and I respect you too much for things to keep going on like this. And you're not shouting at me. I'm gonna take that as a good sign.
Ashley: If you have something to say then I wanna hear it.
Craig: Good. So I'm sorry I made fun of your lyrics earlier. You're a really good writer and musician and that wasn't fair.
Ashley: This is about my lyrics?
Craig: Yeah, what did you think?
Ashley: Yeah, what was I thinking?
-At Joey't house-
*Caitlin chasing Angie while they're both wearing capes*
Caitlin: Watch out bad guys!!
*Angie jumping on Joey*
Joey: OW! No no no! Angie please! Ow, no no no! Ow.

Joey: Ow. Angie do daddy a favor okay go upstairs. Go get your Barbie suitcase and put some things in it; your toothbrush, your gaccis (??)…
Angie: Ooh Barbie suitcase!
Joey: Caitlin, get me the phone please. Angie't gonna stay with my mom until I feel better. Craig can help me out around here.
Caitlin: Why don't you let me help out?
Joey: Um, thank you but you're busy. I can't impose on you like that.
Caitlin: I don't mind! ...What?
Joey: Well… it't not all fun and games. Sometimes she needs a firm hand.
Caitlin: You don't think I can do it, do you!?
Joey: I think you're great with her, I just think you're more friend-great than parent-great.
Caitlin: Angie!! You can stop packing! I'm gonna take care of you two!
-At school, in the auditorium-
*The guys are all playing (without lyrics)*
Mr. Armstrong: Okay you guys, uh good luck in the competition tomorrow.
Spinner: Yeah we're gonna have lyrics by then right?
Craig: I've got it covered!
Mr. Armstrong: Up next: Hell Hath No Fury!
Paige: Um this song, it has lyrics!
Ashley: *singing* he song is the price for breaking my heart. Should have written these words to you right from the start. You say it doesn't matter, it't all in the past, but pain doesn't show, it't disguised by it't mask. I can't pretend to forgive and forget. Gonna make the day you met me, a day you'll regret. Cuz you're the dust in my eye, you're the rock in my shoe. Yeah you lie, lie, lie.”
-In Joey't house-
Caitlin: Eat your breakfast, scampy!
Joey: Oh you don't have to do this.
Caitlin: Oh it't fine. I got just enough time to drop her off before my meeting.
Angie: I don't like this!
Joey: Too bad. Eat up!
Caitlin: I can handle this, thank you! Um how about some toast?
Angie: No!

Angie: Pacakes with syrup!
Joey: Angie…
Caitlin: Okay uh pancakes we can do it, coming up! Dolly, hi! It't Caitlin, um would you tell Steve I'm going to be just a little bit late.
Angie: Aunty Caitlin!! *Caitlin drops her cell phone in the porridge*
Joey: Good morning. Breakfast calling please leave your bacon after the tone.
-In the computer lab-
(In the background) Mr. Simpson: The databasing should work…
Craig: Those lyrics of yours! Not cool!
Ashley: Typical. Self absorbed Craig actually thinks the song is about him.
Ellie: Wow, so vain.
Craig: What't your problem? You attack me every time I pass myou in the hall and now your performing that.
Paige: Well what’d you expect? ‘For He't a Jolly Good Fellow’?
Craig: Ash I swear if you play that song in the competition I'll…
Ashley: Have sex with more grade 9't?!
Mr. Simpson: Guys, settle down please!
Craig: You know, if you weren't such a prude I’d never have been with Manny!
Ashley: *so sarcastic* Oh but I thought you loved her.
Craig: Oh you know what!! Go-
Mr. Simpson: Hey! One more word and double homework!!
-In Craig't garage-
Spinner: Dude, where have you been?
Craig: I'm out of the contest. Just wanted to tell you guys.
Marco: What?! Craig no..
Craig: Ashley't won already so just forget it.
Spinner: No we're not forgetting it. And if Ashley wants a war, well we have the ammo my friend, we have the ammo. Hit it Brooks.
*rapping*
Jimmy: A homie is a player, that is all, so why’d you have to go and kick his
Spinner: ball and chain, ain't that your name? Cuz you a playa hata and that't a shame.
Jimmy: And chicks like you ain't worth too much, so shut up girl
Jimmy and Spinner: and make my lunch! Yeah!
Marco: Uh Craig…me and you-walk!
-Marco and Craig walking outside-
Craig: That rap is never leaving the garage!
Marco: Which is why you need to write us lyrics! Okay? A.s.a.p.
Craig: Marco!!
Marco: What do you have so far? Look maybe I can help.
Craig: Look I'm blocked okay. This whole thing with Ash and Manny…it't like I try and write and nothing comes out.
Marco: So glad I'm not into girls!!! Okay…AAHHHHH!
Craig: Have you lost it?!
Marco: What?! It clears my head! Go, try it!
Craig: No.
Marco: But, it gets the creative juices going.
Craig: No, I'm not doing that!
Marco: Then it't Spinner't sexist rap.
Craig: Ahhhh.
Marco: No, you have to do it like you mean it! Go!
Craig: AAAAHHHHH! No, sorry…nothing.
-At Joey't house-
Joey: So did you and Aunty Caitlyn have fun shopping today?
Angie: It was okay. I'm gonna go out and play.
Caitlin: Sweetie I need you to wash your hands for dinner.
Angie: 5 minutes.
Caitlin: No, I need you to wash them now!
Angie: Bye!
Caitlin: Stop right there missy! Wash those hands now! You heard me!
Angie: I hate you. *running up the stairs*
-At school-
*Girls walking down the hall together with flaming Craig shirts on*
Marco: Is that Craig?
Ashley: You like? It't amazing what you can do with a computer these days!
Craig: I give up.
Ashley: I'm sorry, I care why?
Craig: All you care about is making my life a living hell.
Ashley: Do you have any idea what my life has been like for the past few months?!
Craig: Please not this again.
Ashley: You think this t-shirt't hard to deal with or our song? I wanted to die Craig, I felt that bad!
Craig: Ok, well you're not listen-
Ashley: No, it't not ok! It'll never be ok!
Craig: I'm sorry ok!? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! How many times do I have to say it?
Ashley: Until you mean it.
-In the auditorium-
Ashley: *singing* You say it doesn't matter, it't all in the past, but pain doesn't show, it't disguised by it't mask. I can't pretend to forgive and forget. Gonna make the day you met me, a day you'll regret. Cuz you're the dust in my eye, you're the rock in my shoe. Yeah, you lie, lie, lie. Better watch what you say cuz I'm on to you, Mr. Nice guy! Ooohh Mr. Nice guy! You're so nice.
Marco: Okay. So they're good.
Spinner: Even if they suck we don't have a chance without a singer.
Jimmy: Our singer will be here in a second.
Spinner: So we'll do it without Craig…with my lyrics.
Announcer: Wow! Those girls really knocked it out of the park! Next up to bat we have the Downtown Sasquatch!
Spinner: Hi we're Downtown Sasquatch! Woo! Uh ok and here't a little song we like to call we're still thinking of a name for… Woo! And it goes a little something like this!
Marco: Spin!!
Craig: *walks out onto the stage* And it goes like this: I don't know if you'll forgive me for being so blind to how you felt. Don't ask me why I couldn't see it and that it’d take me years to figure out. And that't not something I know much about, but there't only one way to find out. Yeeeaaahhhh. What I know is that I hurt you oh, what I know is that I sucked and what I know is that I'm sorry. What I know is that I'm a loser and yeaahh what I know is that I screwed up and then I never earned your trust. What I know is that everything I touch just turns to dust.
-At Joey't house-
Joey: How’d it go?
Caitlin: She still won't even open the door. I feel horrible.
Joey: Well at least she't not old enough to steal your car. That was Craig't version of the test.
Caitlin: God, it't like my mother't voice came right out of my mouth.
Joey: It happens to the best of us. Look I think it't great that you and Angie get along, but you can't just be her friend. She't just a kid. You have to set limits.
Caitlin: Yeah, but I called her Missy.
Joey: Ah it't catchy.
Caitlin: Well that't something.
Joey: You did great. She might not like you right now, but she respects you.
Caitlin: I’d rather have the like part back.
*Joey and Caitlin cuddling*
Joey: You will. Just stick around ok?
-At school-
Spinner and Marco: *hugging* We won! We won!!
Spinner: Oh are you here to bring us down? Because we won fair and square.
Ashley: Yeah you did, congratulations. And Craig nice lyrics. They were just right.
Craig: Thanks.

DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION
3X19: IT'S RAINING MEN
-----------------------------------------------
We first see Marco and his dad drive up to the school in a car to the front of the school just as Spinner, Paige, and Hazel were about to enter. Marco gets out and shows them a poster that he made for the semi-formal dance since he's the chairperson.
QUOTES
Marco: Come on, it's themed on these movie musicals from
Spinner: Yeah, if you're a big flaming-
(Spinner then notices Marco's dad get out of the car and walk towards the trunk and open it. )
Spinner: (shaken & caught off guard) Ahh, Mr Del Rossi, ah, what are you doing at our school on this fine morning?
Mr Del Rossi: Oh, my company make a poster for your dance.
Marco: And . . .
Marco takes out some tickets and Paige is sure that she and Spinner are gonna be the King and Queen of Degrassi, but Hazel retaliates that it's gonna be here and Jimmy. Mr. Del Rossi cuts in and says that it's going to be Marco and some lucky girl. Marco claims that he's too busy with the committee, but his dad is like, "All these beautiful girls over here, and not one you like?"
Marco looks off into the distance at Dylan who is tossing a football back and forth with somebody. Just as Dylan is prepared to toss it again, he notices Marco looking at him and cracks a smile. Marco gives a weak smile back. We hear his dad laugh and he shakes the back of Marco's head, completely unaware of his sons feelings.
In the school, Marco is mimicking his dad and telling Dylan about it.
QUOTES
Marco: (mimicking his dad) Oh Marco, all these beautiful girls and not one you like?
Dylan: (Laughs) Sounds beyond embarrassing.
Marco: You know, just to shut him up, I wanted to say Papa, there is somebody I like - a guy.
An awkward silence follows.
Dylan: Anyone I know?
Marco: (Bashful) Uh, yeah, well...just someone.
Dylan: So, um, you seen that new Zombie movie yet, Killer Rage?
Marco: Uh, Ellie did. She said it was a clever critique on consumerism.
Dylan looks a bit puzzled.
Marco: And uh..s-scary too.
Dylan: Well uh, I've just been waiting like forever for it to come out, but you know, no one will go.
Marco takes the hint, but is too embarrassed to say that he wants to go. Then Dylan says that another guy, Tom, wants to go.
The next scene is with Toby. JT walks up to him with a cardboard cut out of his face
JT: Whats up dog? What do you think? *holding up a cardboard cutout of himself* Here I am. There I am. Here I am. There I am. Pretty weird huh?
Toby: Thats one word for it!
Some guy(Steve): Ok JT, time to give it back.
JT: Uh thanks for letting me borrow uh me.
Toby: I can't believe that cutouts going to be in the cafour caf!
JT: I know! And schools across our fair land.
Toby: Just what the country needsmore JT!
JT: Take your cheap shots now my friend cause tonight the commercial hits the airwaves.
JT: Morning Manny. *As Manny walks past without saying hi*
JT: Hey we could have a launch party!! Invite people over to watch my big debut.
Toby: Yeah too bad your apartments so small.
JT: Yeah if only I knew someone with a big living room and a big TV.
Toby: Alright fine, you can have it at my place, just don't invite too many people.
JT: Oh no, no, the invite list will be hand picked. Very exclusive. *looking at Manny*
-In the cafeteria-
JT: *handing out flyers* JT York commercial launch party. Casa Kerwin Issacs. See ya there. Here you go guys. See you guys there!
Spinner: Do you like Dylan or what?
Marco: A little louder Spinner. I think a few kids in the back didnt hear you.
Spinner: Just answer the question.
Marco: Yeah, I mean hes the first guy I can actually see myself hooking up with, you know? Wait, why am I telling you this?
Spinner: What difference does it make? I'm your friend, I wanna help.
Marco: Ok. Yeah I like him, but I'm scared.
Spinner: Ok, but you need to get over that. Just ask the dude out.
-In the hallway-
*Marco and Spinner looking at Dylan*
Marco: How do I start?
Spinner: Dude, its not grade nine public speaking. Just go up to him and say dude I like you, you like me, lets hook up. Ok maybe not those exact wordsbut just go. Cmon!
Tom: Heres that CD I made you.
Dylan: Oh thanks Tom, Marco! Hey!!
Marco: Hey I gotta jet. *walking away sadly with Spinner*
-In Ms. Hatzilakos class-
Ms. Hatzilakos: So from an evolutionary standpoint bees are almost perfect and thats why in millennia they've barely changed.
*Spinner shows Marco a picture of a bee*
Marco: Spin! Spin! I hate bees okay? They're like flying death monkeys.
Spinner: Dude, bees are small. You just smack them. Oh and speaking of bugs that need a smack, whats with Tom?
Marco: I, I don't even wanna hear his name ok? He stole my crush.
Spinner: C'mon.
Marco: No, it's a lost cause anyway. I mean I'm too young for Dylan and what do I know about sports man?! Nothing! I'm too girly
Spinner: Dude, do not put yourself down ok? Datings war, you have to be ready to fight dirty.
Marco: Look, all I know is that Dylan moved on, so maybe I should too.
-In the hallway-
Spinner: Dylan my man, what's going on?!
Dylan: Spinner
Spinner: Yeah um, listen I need to talk to about your little friend Tommy boy. Ok. On the down low, the dudes got scabies.
Dylan: What?!
Spinner: I saw him in the shower. It's sick, its disgust*sees Tom and hugs Dylan while Tom walks away*
Dylan: What is this, hug the homo day?
Spinner: Just care about you man. Showing you love.
Dylan: *sees Tom walking away and pushes Spin away* Spinner, I can't believe you man!
Spinner: I'm just trying to help out Marco. You like him right? Then ask him out!
Dylan: I don't think he's ready.
Spinner: What's the worst that could happen?
Dylan: Listen, I wasn't ready for my first date ok, and it was a disaster. I just don't want to put Marco through that.
Spinner: It won't happen!
Dylan: What do you know about being gay?
Spinner: Well, I know Marco and I know he likes you a lot. Just, just think about it ok?
-In the gym, cheer team performing-
Paige: Great slide sweet potato. So I hear youre having...
JT: Sorry, I can't talk right now!
JT: Manny. Sorry, no pockets, just read it. *hands her a flyer* Everyones gonna be there. Emma,
Manny: But this is at Ashley's house.
JT: Yeah but Toby said she was out for the night. I'd really like it if you came.
Manny: Me too, but I can't.
JT: Why? Just tell me.
Manny: At school when people talk about me I walk. At a party I'm stuck.
JT: Well what if I told you I wont let anyone say a word about you.
Manny: Thats really sweet, but -
JT: Manny please, the commercial might seem dumb, but it's a dream come true.
Manny: Ok. I'll be there.
-In the hallway-
*Marco walking down the hall seeing couples everywhere*
Dylan: Hey, we need to talk.
Marco: Uh ok.
Dylan: I just thought you should know that there's someone I like.
Marco: Oh, yeah I mean I understand. I'm too short, too young, too girly.
Dylan: And way too hard on yourself.
Marco: Are you messing with me?
Dylan: Guilty as charged.
Marco: You're such a jerk.
Dylan: Take it easy, I haven't even asked you out yet. So tonight, wanna go see that zombie movie or will it freak you out?
Marco: Yeah a little, but I want to.
Dylan: Good.
Marco: Good so its a date?
Dylan: You bet!
-At Spinners House-
Kendra: Spinner! Marcos here!
Marco: Spin! I'm dying. Here ok?! Fashion crisis! Do I go sporty, cowboy, vintage or clubby I don't know.
Spinner: Uh dude, maybe you didn't get the memo. I'm straight.
Marco: Yeah, but your taste is way closer to Dylan's than mine is, so help me, please.
Spinner: Ok. Its like straight eye for the gay guy. *holds up a shiny silver shirt* Ok uh, This? Uh Enrique called, he wants his shirt back. *holds up a peasant type shirt* This whole Oliver Twist thing*with an accent* please sir, don't wear this, youll look like an idiot. *holds up a western cowboy type shirt* Planning on wrestling cattle dude?

Dylan: Marco, it's fine. It's just a hat.
Marco: Ok. Oh my god! Bee in the car!! Bee! Bee! Bee!!! *jumping up and out of the car*
Marco: Sorry, um, I have a bit of a bee phobia.
-At a fast food restaurant at the mall-
Marco: So you don't think I'm completely lame?
Dylan: Your bee phobia? Pales in comparison to my fear of killer whales. My mom took me to a marine park for my 10th birthday and I volunteered to be kissed by the whale. When it leapt from the water it just had this look in its eye like I'm going to kill you. I ran from the park screaming. Guess Im a freak huh?
Marco: No actually, youre pretty great.
Dylan: I think youre pretty great too.

Then its time to kick the supafly fry flavor. A crazy combo of 7 slammin spices. That supa fly taste is off the chain yo! Hey dont, get off my fries dawg! Get your fry on with supafly fries.

JT: Uh, Guess it wasn't really off the chain then
Jimmy: Look if people do make fun of you tomorrow just tell them um, dont be all up in my fries dawg!
-At the movies-
*Marco trying to hold Dylans hand then pulling away*
Dylan: It's ok!

Marcos Dad: How nice. How about with the girls? Hehe, not like Marco.
Marco: Pa!
Marcos dad: I'm just saying youre young! Right now it should be girls, girls, girls.
Marco's mom: Like Gabriella? From church!
Marco: Ma, shes 300 pounds!
Marco's mom: She's big, but nice. Maybe Dylan would like her. Marco: No he wouldn't.
Marco's mom: Hmph.
Waiter: How are you all doing? Can I get you anything?
Marco's dad: No we ok, thank you. How can a fruity boy carry those plates with those limp wrists?
Marco's dad: I never understand that kind! Two men together. It's disgusting.

Marcos dad: Hey it's sickening!
Marco: Pa stop!
Dylan: The time! Uh, I've got early practice tomorrow, so uh nice meeting you both!

Marco's dad: Say what?
Marco's mom: You got a big mouth.
Marco's dad: I got a big mouth!
*His parents quietly arguing*
-Outside school-
Jay: Hey wheres you dog, dawg?
Sean: Has it been getting up in your fries?
Manny: That's a fun way to start the day JT your commercial sucked.
JT: Thanks.
Manny: But you didn't. You were great.
JT: Well you mind telling everyone in the school that?
Manny: Coming from the school tramp, I don't think they'd listen.
JT: I do not want to go in there.
Manny: I know but we've got Armstrongs test. We have to get our math on!
JT: I'm so gonna kill you. *chasing after Manny*
-Outside school-

Spinner: Well you're about to find out.
Dylan: Hey.
Marco: Hey.
Dylan: Talk to you a sec?
Marco: Ok. Look you dont have to explain about what my dad said.
Dylan: It was stupid and offensive, but you know weve both heard worse.
Marco: Yeah but the way you just ran off like that.
Dylan: You looked like you were going into cardiac arrest. I was sparing you.
Marco: Man after that pimp hat and the bee incident and then what my dad said, I just I thought you were never gonna talk to me again.
Dylan: Well that crossed my mind, but I do think youre pretty cute.
Marco: So then, does that mean I get another shot? A chance to redeem myself?
Dylan: Well that depends *leans in and kisses Marco* what are you doing this Friday?

3.20 - I Want Candy
-------------------------------------------------------
In Ms. Hatzilakos' Class-
Ms. Hatzilakos: So your exam will mainly focus on the second term, but much of what you learned last fall has influenced what we've covered since and…
Spinner: Wait, so what does that mean; we have to study both terms?
Ms. Hatzilakos: That's usually how it works, Gavin. So what we're gonna do…
Paige: More work?
Ms. Hatzilakos: It's a comprehension assignment using molecular models I'd like you to illustrate the structure of three simple molecules by next week. Welcome to the real world guys, oh and Paige can you make sure that Ashley gets this? It seems like she's sick…again.
Spinner: Ok, I can't handle this. It's so unfair.
Paige: Hatzilakos wants us to live in the real world. Then I say we do just that. Tomorrow we're taking the day off.
ROLL CREDITS
-Outside in Dylan's car-
Dylan: Ok you know this car means everything to me right?
Paige: Yes, this car means more to you than I do. Ok, now this goes to Ms. Smith excusing me from all classes today.
Marco: Oohh, the old forging your mom's signature huh? Nice!
Paige: Just make sure she gets it.
Dylan: And you just make sure you return this car ok? Undamaged, with a full tank.
Paige: But it's only at a quarter…
Dylan: Have fun! *As him and Marco get out*
-Spinner's house-
Spinner's mom: Here. Now I know having a thermometer in your mouth is uncomfortable but you gotta leave it there. Ok?
Spinner: Ok Mom, I love you. *As soon as she leaves he dunks the thermometer in a hot drink*
Kendra: Just wait till I tell mom.
Spinner: Oh yeah, go ahead miss I don't have any evidence.
Kendra: Mom, he's faking!
Spinner's mom: With a temperature of 101? I don't think so!
Spinner: Ugh, pain!
Kendra: Pain? I'm the one in pain. My arm! *points to her broken (or sprained) arm*
Spinner's mom: Kendra, this isn't a competition! Now I'll be home by 5. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and call me at work if you need anything.

Paige: Nice
-In Mr. Simpson's class-
Mr. Simpson: In constructing the CQ query we need to use a filter as in...where amount is greater than 100. No, that's not right.
JT: So, the semi-formal coming up.
Emma: JT can we talk later?
JT: Uh that'd be a no. I was thinking about asking Manny but, I mean, I know she's been through some tough times lately.
Mr. Simpson: Time's going to get a whole lot tougher if you don't stop talking. For (something) functions you need to use the pathing clause actually....
JT: We could just go as friends.
Emma: JT. Later!
Mr. Simpson: Hi, what are you doing at lunch? Defragging the MI lab? Thanks and Emma so glad you could help out!
-At Ashley's house-
Ashley: *singing* I'm lost in a void of eternity. The eye of the storm, the depth of the sea. A black hole rips me from inside out. Gravity ending me.
Ashley's mom: You don't look sick to me kiddo. You know I have been really patient, but the end of the year is coming up and you've got exams.
Ashley: And I'll do fine. I've been doing all the homework. I'll go to school Monday but not today please!

Ashley: What's with the weird accent?
Paige: Just uh pretending to be my mom!
Ashley: Why where are you?
Paige: Dylan's car. Skipping with Spin, in case you're at the school.
Ashley: Well I'm not and actually I'm just calling for yesterday's homework.
Paige: Yeah I was just about to drop it off. Hey what are you doing today?
Ashley: Just feeling sorry for myself. Why?
Spinner: No, no!!
Paige: Well misery loves company hun, so get dressed. We'll be there in five!
-In Ashley's bedroom-
Paige: Hun we have a major metropolitan area at our disposal here.
Spinner: Yeah with at least 20 mini putt courses to explore.
Ashley: Go away!
Paige: Spin not helping. Ash, get up! Ok, let's think of Dylan's car as a genie. One that could grant us three wishes. Spin. I wish I could go eat lunch at a restaurant with my hunny and my oldest friend. *looks at Spinner*
Spinner: I wish we could go play mini golf.
Paige: Fine, Ash one wish to go.
Ashley: I wish we could go visit Terri.
-At the hospital, in Terri's room-
Terri: Ashley, I'm so glad you could come!
Ashley: Yeah finally huh? Well you look great.
Terri: I'm feeling so much better, other than the occasional headache from hitting the rock and the surgery.
Nurse: Here to change your bandage. *takes her bandage off revealing a bald spot with a large cut*
Ashley: Um I need some air. * goes out to the hallway*
Paige: Ashley?
*Paige and Spinner walk into Terri's room*
-In the computer lab-
Emma: Alex I need some time with that machine now. The row over there is finished if you could just…Can you please move?
Alex: Go away little girl. You're annoying me.
JT: Well I'm done like dinner.
Emma: Me too. Now there's just my dad's and one that I'll apparently be doing after school.
JT: Oh mama. Can't blame you there! Hey Em I can't defrag this if he's working on something right?
Emma: Uh, no just save it and quit the program.
JT: Oh.
Emma: What's wrong?
JT: Uh I don't think I was supposed to see this.
Emma: What? His will…
-At a nice restaurant-
Spinner: Razcompalo (?), risotto with porcine and shitake…what?
Paige: Spin has trouble with foods he can't pronounce. *Spin hits Paige with a breadstick*
Paige: Stop.
Ashley: Spin this is a restaurant, not the school cafeteria.
Waiter: Can I take your beverage order?
Paige: A ginger ale for me please.
Ashley: Fine.
Spinner: Um, I'll have whatever's on tap…Andrew. *waiter gives him a look*
Spinner: What, if I were underage wouldn't I be in school right now instead of your fine dining establishment?
Waiter: Three ginger ales coming right up.
Paige: Haha, so um Ash what are you gonna have?
Ashley: Nothing I'm not hungry. I'm sorry ok but seeing Terri in the hospital just sort of did that to me.
Paige: Yeah me too, but getting all down and sucky doesn't help anyone.
Ashley: You just don't get it do you? These are supposed to be the best years of our life and it's just been one disaster after another after another. That school is cursed.
Spinner: Then just transfer already.
Paige: Spinner!
Ashley: No he's right. Next year I'm leaving Degrassi.
-At the restaurant (after a commercial break)-
Spinner: Oh if only this was champagne, not just the champagne of ginger ales.
Paige: You're ecstatic that Ashley's transferring aren't you? She is my friend who's had a really rough year and she's probably crying her eyes out in the bathroom right now.
Spinner: So let's take her home to cry so we can enjoy the rest of our afternoon.
Paige: Or we could show her a good time and maybe make her change her mind.
Ashley: Guys! See that blond woman over there. Look who she's with!
Paige: Raditch!!
Ashley: So maybe we should um… *they get up to leave quickly*
Paige: Spin, you did leave money for lunch like you were supposed to right?
Spinner: No…
Ashley: So what we didn't pay?
Spinner: Cool!
Paige: Not cool! Give me the money, I'll go pay…
Ashley: What and get caught skipping by Raditch?!
Spinner: So what are we gonna do?
*Shows the three of them driving, playing mini golf, at the movies (where Spinner is trying not to cry lol), then playing air hockey*
-At an art gallery-
Paige: Enjoying the art honey bee?
Spinner: Art? That's what they call this?
Ashley: Spin, someone poured their soul into these paintings.
Spinner: Really? I don't see it. Oh wait there it is. *pointing at a picture with a naked lady and pretending to kiss it*
Spinner: What!? I wasn't doing anything.
Ashley: You were being a sexist jerk.
Spinner: No, I was trying to make you laugh.
Ashley: Yeah well it wasn't funny. It was embarrassing.
Spinner: So what? Being an idiot is ok sometimes!
Ashley: Yeah and so is growing up.
Spinner: I'll be in the sculpture garden.
Paige: Ok um, I'm sorry you had a crappy year. I'm sorry Craig treated you like dirt, but get over it.
Ashley: Paige you have no idea.
Paige: You take everything so seriously. Just lighten up.
Ashley: Yeah I'll just do that Paige.
Paige: You should. I'm sorry to be brutally blunt but Craig didn't cheat on you just because of hormones.
Ashley: Paige…
Paige: So run away next year but it won't help cuz the real problem is you.
-In the school-
Emma: Mr. Preno (?? The janitor) Is my dad in there?
Mr. Preno (?): No.
Liberty: So that Canadian Geography class was great wasn't it…the Canadian Shield, the great lakes…
Liberty shut up for once! I'm looking for Mr. Simpson.
Alex: Pleasant as always Emma?
Emma: Don't start with me.
*Alex throws a bunched up piece of paper at Emma*
Emma: Alex, what is your problem?
Alex: Let's see, your clothes, your voice, your holier than thou attitude. You.
*Emma throws Alex's books down and pushes her. Major catfight. Emma knees Alex in the face making her bleed. Alex backslaps her and the two continue to fight*
Mr Preno (?): Hey! Hey! That's enough!!! Emma!! Simmer down.
-At an Elvis impersonation competition-
*An Elvis impersonator on stage*
Spinner: Ok, the king is cool. That freak show on stage is not. Perfectly lame end to a lame day.
Paige: Spin what are you talking about? That guy is cool and I had fun today.
Spinner: Yeah can't wait to tell everyone we skipped and moped around all day with the queen of doom.
Paige: He didn't mean that.
Ashley: It's cool. Um so why don't you guys sit and I'll get us a snack.
-At school-
*Emma has a huge black eye*
Mr. Simpson: Where's a good t-bone steak when you need one huh?
Emma: I thought we were done with secrets, dad?
Emma: I found your will. When were you going to tell me the chemo failed?
Mr. Simpson: No, no Emma you got it all wrong. The doctor just told me to be prepared.
Emma: Prepared for what?! What is going on?
Mr. Simpson: This afternoon I get the results from my last round of chemo. Your mom and I just wanted to protect you.
Emma: Well stop, ok?
Mr. Simpson: Ok, but this is big Em. It's life or death big…because if the chemo didn't work…
Emma: But I want to know what's going on. I need to know.
Mr. Simpson: Ok. So come with us today to the doctors. There's no more secrets.
*Emma and Snake hugging*
-Back at the Elvis impersonation competition-
*Really bad little kid singing*
Spinner: Uh ok. That's just bizarre.
Paige: Where is Ash? She's been gone for like 20 minutes.
Spinner: And that's a problem?
Announcer: Nice job Little E! Ladies and gentlemen Little E! Now up a late addition. Next up Elvira, Queen of Doom. Elvira.
Ashley: *comes on stage in an Elvis costume* Thank you Howard. Thank you very much. This little number goes out to my dear old friend Ronnie who lent me this outfit and to my good friends Spinner and Paige. This one's for you!
Paige: What is she doing?
*Ashley singing an Elvis song and Spinner and Paige standing and cheering*
-At the doctor's office-
Doctor: Ah the whole family's here today. So the bone marrow tests are in. Your peripheral blood cell count could be better but your normal cellular marrow is just 3.2% less.
Mr. Simpson: Please in English.
Doctor: You're in remission. Ms. Grant will set up your follow-ups. Congratulations. Um take as much time as you need in here.
*Everyone's arms around each other, misty eyed, relieved*
Spike: Good cuz I think we're gonna be a while.
-In Ashley's room-
Ashley's mom: I cancel a house showing so I can be with you and then I find you pulling up in Paige's car with the world's weirdest trophy.
Ashley: I'm sorry little lady. *Ashley laughing*
Ashley's mom: Ashley this is not funny. *both of them start laughing*
Ashley's mom: Ashley, sanity has left the building.
-Outside by Dylan's car-
Spinner: Thank you, thank you very much.
Paige: Ok, that was a worse impression than that Mini E kid.
Spinner: Haha.
Paige: Oh, Time to pick up Dylan. He's going to kill me if I'm late.
Spinner: Yeah not to mention, for this! *waving around a parking ticket*
Paige: Which he will never know about!
Spinner: Small price to pay for a day off right?
*Paige and Spin kiss then drive off*
