Degrassi // Season 1

Friday Night: Part 1

Scene I

Manny: It's called "Passion Flame."

Emma: Ooh. Very hot.

Manny: Speaking of hot...

Sean: Hey.

Emma: Hey.

Manny: Oh. Uh, gee, I forgot. I have to go talk to Liberty.

Sean: So, did you do that math assignment?

Emma: Yeah, it was brutal.

Sean: Yeah. Yeah, it was. So it's Friday.

Emma: Yup.

Sean: Um... do you- do you have any plans?

Emma: No.

Sean: Okay, well, maybe we could hang out.

Emma: Sure.

Sean: Alright. Cool. Well, I'll see ya.

Manny: Okay, so? What did he want?

Emma: Manny, I'm not sure, but I think he asked me on a date!

Both: Eeeeee!

Scene II

Manny: It's just so exciting. Your first date!

Emma: I know!

Manny: And romantic. So, how did he ask you?

Emma: I don't know. He just asked me.

Manny: Well, it had to be more than just "Oh, he asked me."

Toby: Hey, guys. I mean, girls. I mean...

Emma: Let's go sharpen our pencils...

Manny: Great idea.

Emma: Why can't Toby just- I don't know- like you instead of me?

Manny: Forget about him, and give me details. Exactly what Sean said.

Emma: Okay. Well, first we talked about that horrible math assignment, and then he mentioned that it's Friday. I know, kind of weird. And then he said, "Maybe we could hang out."

Manny: Okay, and?

Emma: Nothing. Just... hang. Out.

Manny: Oh.

Emma: This is a date, right?

Manny: Of course. I think...

Scene III

Ms. Kwan: These are permission forms for next week's bus trip to Stratford, to see "Romeo and Juliet."

(tapping)

Ms. Kwan: Sorry, could whoever's making that noise please cease and desist. That means stop. Have a parent or guardian sign the form and enclose a check-

(tapping)

Ms. Kwan: Alright. Who's doing that? Detention. After school.

Spinner: What?? But- Hey, you can't- My Discman!

Ms. Kwan: No, your fault. For listening to it in my homeroom. Keep wasting my time, Gavin? And I'll keep wasting yours.

Scene IV

Manny: I'm sure he was asking you out.

Emma: Well, I'm not so sure anymore. And besides, even if he was, couldn't he have been a bit more romantic?

Manny: Here's your chance to find out.

Emma: Sean. About tonight?

Sean: Ya...

Emma: Ya? Sean!

Mr. Armstrong: Okay, today we're gonna play some dodgeball. Good arm, Emma. Again, nice shot. But there are other targets, you know...

Scene V

Mr. Raditch (over loudspeakers): Grade eight students interested in the Stratford trip are reminded to talk to your parents this weekend and return your forms to Ms. Kwan.

Jimmy: Ms. Kwan is such a tyrant.

Terri: Come on, Jimmy. Spinner let earwigs loose in the caf. Kwan had to do something.

Ashley: So, who are you sitting with on the bus to Stratford?

Jimmy: My Juliet, of course.

Ms. Kwan: Ms. Kerwin, Mr. Brooks. This is a school, not a petting zoo. Kindly disengage yourselves.

Ashley: But, we were just-

Ms. Kwan: Would you prefer to take it up with the principal? I'm sure he'd be happy to discuss the finer points of the Degrassi code of conduct. You two may think you're adorable, but that doesn't mean anyone else does.

Jimmy: Total tyrant.

Scene VI

Sheila: Here you go. One lamb stroganoff.

Spinner: Kwan did it to you too? Man, she's made it her mission to make our lives miserable. I wouldn't be working here if it wasn't for her!

Jimmy: No, you wouldn't be working here if you wouldn't have dumped bugs in Ash's food.

Spinner: A minor detail. Jimmy. You and I should join forces. Get Kwan back. Teach her a lesson.

Jimmy: No way, man. We try to get revenge? And I'll end up wearing a hairnet too.

Sheila: Hey, princess. Less talk, more work.

Scene VII

Emma: Manny, I have no idea what to do. Toby says Sean was just making conversation.

Manny: You asked Toby about Sean?

Emma: I know, but I'm desperate here!

Paige: Having a little boy trouble, Emma? Anything I can help you with?

Emma: No, nothing's going on.

Paige: Hon, your thing for Sean is more obvious than Heather Sinclair's bargain-basement nose job. Do you want my advice, or not?

Emma: Okay. Sean asked me to "hang out" with him tonight. Not "go out," "hang out." I thought he might be asking me on a date. I was wrong?

Paige: Hon, that's a date.

Manny: Told you.

Paige: Just in guy speak. Vague. Short. "Yes." "No." "Grunt."

Emma: "Ya?"

Paige: "Ya" definitely qualifies. Em, it's Sean we're talking about. He's a one syllable kinda guy.
