Degrassi // Season 1

Rumours and Reputations: Part 1

Scene I

Emma: I just gotta hand this in to Armstrong. I'll see you later.

J.T.: So, I'm telling my mom that joke. You know, the one about the duck?

Manny: That one's pretty good.

J.T.: And when I tell her the punchline? She spews milk out of her nose. Uh, Emma. Milk. Out of my mom's nose. Funny?

Emma: Huh? Oh, yeah. Funny, J.T. What's going on?

Liberty: Nothing, just writing some e-mails.

Emma: Um, I wanted to ask you... I saw you and Armstrong this morning.

Liberty: And... what's your point?

Emma: It looked like-

Liberty: Looked like what? I had a few questions. About equations. So? Are you trying to read my e-mails?

Emma: No, not at all.

Liberty: E-mails are private. Mind your own business.

Scene II

J.T.: Don't you think you're being a bit obvious?

Emma: About what?

J.T.: Sean. If you stare any harder, your eyeballs will pop out.

Emma: J.T., what do you think of Armstrong? I mean, as a person.

J.T.: Teachers aren't people. They're... teachers.

Emma: You know what I mean. Do you think he's... okay?

J.T.: Oh, yeah. Armstrong's given me lots of extra help. He's been really nice. To me, anyway.

Emma: Yeah, come to think of it, he's nice to everyone.

J.T.: You gonna eat that?

Emma: Huh? No. You take it.

J.T.: Something I said?

Scene III

Jimmy: Hey, Sheila. Two specials, please.

Spinner: What is that? Nuclear waste?

Sheila: I don't want to hear about it, Gavin.

Spinner: Hey guys. Did ya see the sign in the bathroom? 'Flush twice. It's a long way to the cafeteria.'

Sheila: Gavin. It might take you a few extra years, but i can't wait for the day you graduate.

Spinner: Aw, man!

Girl: Ew, what is it? Ew! Ew!

Spinner: Sheila, there's a bug in my squash.

Sheila: I think the joke goes, 'Waiter, there's a fly in my soup.'

Spinner: I'm serious. It's right over-

Sheila: Yeah, nice try, Gavin. By the way, don't forget to pay for that. It's 4.99 plus tax. Next!

Scene IV

Manny: So, Em, for media immersion. Should we use HTML?

Emma: Yeah. Sure. Whatever. Manny, has Armstrong ever touched you?

Manny: What? No! Did he touch you?

Emma: No, no. Not me. Liberty. I saw him touching Liberty.

Manny: Are you sure?

Emma: Yeah. I know what I saw.

Manny: I don't know, Em. Armstrong's a pretty physical guy. Maybe you got the wrong idea.

Emma: I hope so. But this morning? He had his arm around Liberty. Then I saw him pass her a note outside. It really looked like he was coming onto her.

Manny: Mr. Armstrong?

Scene V

Ashley: You've got to be making this up.

Spinner: No. I swear.

Paige: It just so happens you're always complaining about the food and now you find a bug. Hmm.

Spinner: Paige, c'mon. Does this look like the face of a liar?

Paige: You want an honest answer?

Spinner: Why won't anyone believe me? Tell her, Jimmy.

Jimmy: There was some kind of weirdness on his plate.

Ashley: You sure it wasn't just a hair?

Jimmy: A moth, I think.

Spinner: An earwig, dude. An earwig.

Ashley: See? You two can't even get your stories straight.

Spinner: Boycott the caf! Hey, guys, the caf has bugs! Boycott the caf!

Ms. Kwan: That's a serious accusation.

Spinner: Ms. Kwan. I found a bug in my food. An earwig.

Ms. Kwan: And where is this offensive creature now?

Spinner: Stuck to a kid's shoe.

Ms. Kwan: Gavin. Defamation and rumour mongering are serious offenses. The next time you have an accusation like that, you better have proof.
