Degrassi // Season 1

Parent's Day: Part 1

Scene I

Toby: 28 hours, 14 minutes, 7 seconds. 28 hours-

J.T.: Would you stop with the countdown, please?

Toby: Sure. You've got Parent's Day in the bag.

J.T.: What? Okay, you Einstein. Me? Brain dead.

Toby: I mean your parents aren't homicidal maniacs.

J.T: I thought Kate and Jeff were getting along great.

Toby: I'm not talking about Kate.

J.T.: Whoa. Your mom's coming tomorrow? Oh, man. I should sell tickets. Remember that time at camp when they both came to pick you up?

Toby: Don't remind me.

J.T.: Well, can't you just ask your mom not to come?

Toby: Sure. If I wanted to start a nuclear custody war.

J.T.: Maybe they won't start screaming this time.

Toby: Yeah. Maybe Mr. Armstrong will tell your parents about the D on your last math test.

J.T.: How much time do we have left?

Toby: 28 hours, 13 minutes, 17 seconds. 28 hours, 13 minutes, 16 seconds. 28 hours, 13 minutes-

Scene II

Toby: The way it works now is perfect. Every other weekend with my mom, the rest of the time with my dad. And as long as they don't have to talk to each other, everything's fine.

J.T.: Sorry, man. I didn't know it was that serious.

Toby: Yeah, well, it is that serious.

J.T.: Hey, we could contaminate the water fountains with e-coli. That way they'd have to shut down the school, right?

Toby: There probably is e-coli in the fountains.

Snake: Actually, we test our water on a daily basis, boys. It's fine. Okay, guys, quiet down. We don't have Ashley today, but we do have this week's News About Kids broadcast.

Emma: Oh. NAK again.

Snake: Em? Something you want to share?

Emma: No, Mr. Simpson.

Ryan: (on TV) Hi. I'm Ryan and this is Nicole. And welcome to NAK- News About Kids. Today we'll be talking about something that infests major cities everywhere.

Nicole: (on TV) And we're not talking cockroaches. We're talking squeegee kids.

Ryan: Stalking street corners, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting cars, hijacking your hard-earned cash to waste on drugs and tattoos.

Nicole: Are squeegee kids legit or lazy? Are they just another "cool trend" for today's media saturated youth?

Snake: Remember, guys, you're here for media studies after lunch.

Manny: Em, it was just a TV show.

Liberty: Squeegee kids are very annoying.

Emma: No! Squeegee kids are poor. They live on the street and they wash windows. It's their living.

Liberty: My father says that if another one of those ragamuffins tries to dirty up his window, he'll call the mayor. He knows the mayor.

Emma: Last week, NAK told us to join the army. What's tomorrow? A hole in the ozone is good because it makes a better tan? Imagine being a squeegee kid. Out in the cold, no school, no parents.

Toby: No parents?

Emma: Toby, this isn't a joke! Oop...

Manny: He stared right at you.

Emma: Yeah. Because I bumped right into him.

Scene III

Paige: Uh, oh. Here we go again.

Ashley: Here we go what again?

Paige: Every time NAK claims your air space, you go all manic depressive.

Ashley: That is so not true. I just- Look at this zit!

Terri: That's a pore, and Paige has a point.

Ashley: Terri?

Terri: I don't get why you get so bothered. Everybody loves your morning announcements. Even Heather Sinclair said you're better than those lame-o NAK hosts.

Paige: Oh, yeah, big accomplishment. They're total freaks.

Terri: Heather even has an agent. You could totally get an agent.

Paige: Heather Sinclair has an agent? With that overbite?

Terri: See? Ashley's got the look and TV experience. It's perfect.

Paige: Where would Ashley find an agent?

Ashley: Guys, Toby's mom is a casting agent. Terri, you rock!
