Degrassi // Season 1

Secrets and Lies: Part 1

Scene I

Ashley: Thanks again for brunch, Dad. I had a great time.

Robert: Me too, Ash.

Ashley: Mr. Simpson is so excited that you're coming to speak to our class tomorrow. So am I.

Robert: Should be a lot of fun.

Ashley: I can't wait to show you off.

Robert: Ashley.

Ashley: Yeah?

Robert: Nothing. Just- See you tomorrow.

Ashley: Bye, Dad.

Robert: Bye, Hon.

Kate: You didn't put the vinegar in the dishwasher like I asked you to, right?

Jeff: I'm sorry, Kate. I just can't remember things like that.

Kate: Come on, that's an excuse Toby would make.

Jeff: Oh, Kate, come on. You gonna compare- Better be careful. She's in one of her moods again.

Kate: Well, I wouldn't be, if you'd grasp the concept of hard water. Oh, don't worry about that. We're just having one of our things. So, how was brunch?

Ashley: Great. Dad told me that he went to this royal reception last week and shook hands with Prince Charles!

Kate: Wow! Very chi-chi. So, did you talk about anything else, or just life in London?

Ashley: No. Why, was there something else?

Kate: No. Just... me being nosy. I'm glad you had a good time.

Scene II

Terri: My dad gave it to my mom on their first anniversary. She left it for me, after she died.

Ashley: Terri, it's beautiful. Your mom, she's so pretty!

Terri: My dad called her his "movie star". I know, that's pretty cheesy.

Ashley: No, it's sweet. You look just like her, you know.

Ms. Kwan: Shhh. Quiet down. Remember, our Lord of the Flies test is in two days. So let's use this time in class to catch up with any reading you haven't done.

Terri: So, what does your mom think of your dad moving back?

Ashley: I'm not sure...

Terri: They don't get along?

Ashley: No, they get along fine. But, yesterday, after my dad dropped me off, she was acting pretty weird.

Terri: How?

Ashley: I don't know. She just seemed tense or something. And then she and Jeff had this fight...

Ms. Kwan: Ashley?

Terri: So, your dad's still coming to media immersion this afternoon, right?

Ashley: Yep. You're not going to believe some of the stuff he's done covering wars for the news.

Scene III

Toby: Okay, so all you have to do is highlight this here, and then click the hyperlink button. And you're done!

Snake: Good!

Emma: Have you finished your haiku for Ms. Kwan yet? Her class is in, like, ten minutes.

Sean: Have you?

Emma: "Ancient waves so pure, lapping on the shores of time, early death our fault."

Sean: That's happy.

Emma: That's about our polluted oceans.

Sean: Mm-hm.

J.T.: Hey, guys. Check this out.

Snake: Okay. So, who's the aeronautics genius? Liberty, this is yours?

Liberty: Yes, and I apologize profusely.

Snake: Well... don't let it happen again.

Manny: What was with Liberty? She was acting, like, totally weird.

J.T.: She is weird.

Toby: Yeah, but why would Liberty, who's never missed a day of school in her life, put her neck on the line? And for you?

Emma: Hello? Liberty has a major crush on J.T.

J.T.: What?

Emma: Come on! It's so obvious.

Liberty: I took it when Mr. Simpson wasn't looking.

J.T.: Thanks. You didn't have to. You didn't have to take the blame today in homeroom.

Liberty: Well, you know, you get in trouble so much. Someone has to watch your back.

Emma: That's very sweet of you, Liberty.

Liberty: Oh, and by the way, it's time the Grapevine had a seventh grader as student pick of the week. So I pick you.

J.T.: Why?

Liberty: Well, you know, everyone knows you're going to be famous one day. So, I just want to say I interviewed you first.

J.T.: Cool.

Liberty: So, interview after school?

J.T.: Sure.

Liberty: Okay.

Manny and Emma: (singing) J.T. and Liberty, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

J.T.: Would you shut up? She does not have a crush on me.

Manny: Sure.

Toby: Yeah, right.
