Degrassi // Season 1

Rumours and Reputations: Part 3

Scene IX

Terri: Hey, Spinner. Find any bugs in your breakfast this morning?

Spinner: Very funny. So I made a mistake.

Jimmy: Why'd you say you made a mistake?

Spinner: Because I did.

Jimmy: What?

Spinner: I'm always complaining about the food, right? So I must've made it up.

Jimmy: Okay, now I'm completely confused.

Spinner: It would have been totally different if someone else found that bug. Then everyone would believe it. Even the wrath of Kwan.

Jimmy: I guess so. Better not be tuna salad in here. Aw.

Spinner: Today's special? Earwig surprise. Took me hours to collect them. When I get done, caf will be closed. Permanently.

Scene X

Ashley: Are you sure it isn't true, though? When I talked to Liberty yesterday, she was really defensive. Like she was hiding something.

Emma: She was probably just upset. Wouldn't you be?

Ashley: Yeah, I would. Poor girl. Who would spread a rumour like that?

Emma: That's what I'm trying to figure out. Who did you hear it from, Ashley?

Ashley: It was Jimmy. But he heard it from Spinner!

Spinner: Hey, it wasn't me who started it. Talk to this guy.

Emma: Sean?!

Sean: What?

Spinner: He's the one who told me.

Sean: About Coach Armstrong and Liberty? Man, it's just sick.

Emma: It's not true, Sean.

Sean: It isn't?

Emma: No.

Sean: Man, I knew it sounded fake. I should have never believed her.

Emma: Believed who?

Hazel: I'm innocent. Talk to Paige.

Paige: I was merely imparting information. And besides, I heard it from Terri. She's the one you need to speak to.

Emma: I need to talk to you.

Terri: Okay.

Emma: The whole school's gossiping about Liberty and Armstrong.

Terri: No kidding. I have ears too.

Emma: Well, it's not true. It's just a rumour. Paige spread it around. But she heard it from you.

Terri: I swore her to secrecy.

Emma: As if she'd keep quiet. Paige lives for rumours.

Terri: I was upset, okay? I was shocked. I had to tell someone. I'm sorry.

Emma: Well, too late. I hope you're happy.

Terri: Me?!

Emma: Hello! You're the one who started the rumour.

Terri: Hate to tell you, but no. It was right here. Yesterday. You were talking to Manny about Liberty and Armstrong. Remember? You started the rumour, Emma.

Scene XI

Jimmy: Spin, you sure you want to do this? Don't you think it's a bit drastic?

Spinner: Nope. All is fair in love and war. And dude? This is war.
