Degrassi // Season 1

The Mating Game: Part 3

Scene IX

Ashley: Hey. Um, I, ah, need to get in.

Jimmy: So are we still on for tonight?

Paige: Hey, Ashley. At rehearsal tomorrow, we can do it without you. If you want to, you know, do something else.

Ashley: Why would I want to do that?

Paige: Well, the scene is all about Jimmy and me. So, why should you wait around for, what, just two lines? But it's up to you, of course.

Ashley: We are so on for tonight.

Emma: Come on, you guys. Let's watch Toby's DVD.

Liberty: Emma! You said you'd help proof this issue of The Grapevine, remember? It's scheduled in my Palm Pilot.

Emma: Right. I'll be there in an hour. I promise.

J.T.: Whoop.

Scene X

Ashley: Oh! Mom, what are you doing here?

Kate: Last time I looked, I live here.

Ashley: But aren't you going to see Jeff perform tonight?

Kate: Yep. That's why I had to come home and make myself gorgeous.

(knock at door)

Ashley: Oh. I'll get it.

Kate: Okay.

Delivery Man: Package for you.

Ashley: Hi.

Kate: Hey, what's in the box?

Ashley: Oh, ah, you know, just girl stuff.

Kate: Girl stuff? What kind of girl stuff?

Ashley: Mom.

Kate: Okay, okay.

Spinner: Well, come on. They won't bite you.

Jimmy: I'll get these.

Clerk: Well, are you sure this is the right size for you? 'Cause we've got small, medium, large and extra large.

Jimmy: Yeah, those are fine.

Clerk: Then you've also got your choice of regular and super sensitive.

Jimmy: Just ring them in.

Clerk: But, then there's colours to think of. Because personally, I think a little bit of color spices things up.

Jimmy: Just ring them in, please.

Clerk: Okay.

Jimmy: Hey.

Ashley: Hi.

Jimmy: So...

Ashley: Right.

Scene XI

Liberty: Are you sure my editorial on school fountains bacteria breeders isn't too long?

Emma: Positive.

Liberty: Great. Hey, on the way home, want to grab a smoothie?

Emma: Um, actually, I forgot.

Liberty: Forgot what? Not something for the paper I hope?

Emma: No. Sean asked me to help him after school. I've gotta run.

Liberty: Okay. See you tomorrow, then. Or, as they say in Italy, a domani.

Emma: Springer Spaniels? Hardly on the endangered list.

Sean: So? Mr. Simpson didn't say they had to be.

Emma: No. You're right. Of course not. Why Springer Spaniels?

Sean: I used to have one when I lived with my parents. Charlie.

Emma: What happened to him?

Sean: I had to leave him. My brother's building, it doesn't allow dogs.

Emma: You must miss him.

Sean: He was sort of dumb, you know. He chased his own tail. He was afraid of cats. But, I miss him... a lot.

Scene XII

Jimmy: What's wrong? Ash?

Ashley: I'm, ah, I'm just going to go and freshen up. I'll be right back. Come on, Ash. Grow up. You can do this. Just grow up. Sorry about that, I-

Jimmy: Ash, what's wrong?

Ashley: I can't. I'm sorry, Jimmy, but I just can't. Maybe somebody like Paige can.

Jimmy: What did you say? About Paige?

Ashley: Just... maybe she's the girl for you.

Jimmy: You think because of this Shakespeare stuff, I want to be with Paige?

Ashley: She's ready to do this. She's done this. But I'm not.

Jimmy: Good. 'Cause to be honest, neither am I.

Scene XIII

Toby: I can't believe Emma didn't show.

Manny: She's probably still at school. You know what Liberty is like.

J.T.: Emma's lucky. That boring DVD almost put me on the endangered species list.

Toby: I rented it for her! Ash, I'm home.

Ashley: Oh, Toby. Um, you're home early. We were just...

Jimmy: Um, making decorations.

Ashley: Yeah. For the dance.

Toby: Do you think I'm a complete idiot? Better get these condoms away before Dad and Kate get home. I'm going to bed. And Jimmy, girls are not worth it. Believe me.

Ashley: Ow! What are you drawing?

Jimmy: A symbol of our love.

Ashley: Oh, I almost forgot... If you don't like it then-

Jimmy: No. It's exactly what I want, Juliet.

Ashley: Romeo.

Scene XIV

Emma: Hey, guys. Sorry about last night.

Toby: Did Liberty chew your ear off?

Emma: No, I ran into Sean. We just started talking. He used to have this dog-

Toby: Oh. So you didn't even bother showing up. Not even a phone call?

Emma: What's the big deal?

Toby: You said you'd come. What kind of friend are you anyway?

Emma: What's his problem?

Manny: Ah, he's got a major crush on you.

Emma: Toby? What?

Scene XV

Spinner: Hey. How'd it go? Aw... What? You guys didn't...?

Jimmy: Man, we were this close. Then her brother came home early. Messed up everything.

Spinner: That sucks. What me to take care of him?

Ashley: Hey. About what I said yesterday? I was totally out of line. I guess I was just nervous, not that that's an excuse.

Terri: Fine.

Ashley: I'm sorry, Terri. I'm really sorry. Anyway, Jimmy really liked his gift.

Terri: You guys didn't actually...?

Ashley: No, of course not. It wasn't right.

Terri: Jimmy wasn't upset?

Ashley: No, he was pretty cool about it. Entirely cool about it, actually.
