Degrassi // Season 1

Friday Night: Part 2

Scene VIII

Terri: Kwan's in a meeting with Raditch. She says to review Romeo and Juliet to get ready for our field trip. She'll be back soon.

Spinner: Okay, class, listen up. Shakespeare is the greatest writer, not just of his time, but of all time.

Jimmy: But, Ms. Kwan, if he's such a great writer, why is reading him such a big yawn?

Spinner: Because you are a moron.

Jimmy: But, Ms. Kwan!

Spinner: And for being a moron, I punish you with a week's detention!

Jimmy: A week's detention?!

Spinner: If you want to waste my time, I'll waste yours!

Ms. Kwan: Sorry I'm late. I know you're all anxious to begin. Shakespeare is the greatest writer, not just of his time, but of all time. Even though some of you may find reading him a "big yawn." Mr. Brooks, did you know that Mr. Raditch's office has a direct link to this classroom? When you turn the intercom on, you can hear every single word that's spoken in here. Mr. Brooks, Gavin already has a detention tonight. You can keep him company.

Scene IX

Sean: Maybe because you tried to kill me in dodgeball. So, you don't hate me?

Emma: Of course not.

Sean: So, we're still on for tonight?

Emma: Absolutely! If you want to.

Sean: Oh, I want to. I'll pick you up at seven at your place.

Emma: Great. See you then.

Scene X

Jimmy: It's Friday afternoon and we're stuck here. This is so unfair.

Spinner: Now do you think something should be done?

Ms. Kwan: Guys, I'm teaching a night school course in three more hours. You don't want to join me, do you?

(Spinner coughing)

Scene XI

Emma: Okay, so which shirt do you like better? This one or the one I'm wearing?

Spike: Both are great. So... your first date. I remember my first date.

Emma: Let me guess. You're going to tell me all about it.

Spike: It was awful. I was so nervous! I kept laughing like a hyena and I had the worst case of verbal diarrhea. Sorry. This isn't helping, is it?

(knocking)

Spike: I'll get it. Sean, hi.

Sean: Hi, Christine.

Spike: Emma, your date's here.

Emma: Hi.

Sean: Hi.

Spike: You kids have a good time. And be home by ten. Wait! I almost forgot.

Emma: Mum!

Spike: Just one photo, that's all. Sean, take one giant step towards Emma. And... cheese!

Emma: Sorry about my mum.

Sean: No problem.

Emma: So, what do you want to do?

Sean: Well, we could-

Emma: I was thinking we could go see a movie, or we could grab a bite. We could go to Playdium, or there's this free concert in the park-

Sean: Relax, okay? Whatever we do tonight, we're gonna have fun.

Emma: Right. Oh, God, that was verbal diarrhea, wasn't it?

Scene XII

Ms. Kwan: This test focuses on English verb tenses. "You will write the test. You write the test." And in an hour, you'll be able to say, "You wrote the test." Please begin.

(Spinner chewing loudly)

Ms. Kwan: Excuse me, but whoever is chewing gum, please spit it out immediately. It's disturbing the rest of the class. I'll be right back. Is anyone in there? Lou, have you seen anyone hanging around?

Lou: No.

Ms. Kwan: Do you mind opening this door for me?

Lou: Okay.

Spinner: Time for part two. Hi, I'd like to make an order, please?

Scene XIII

Sean: You didn't have to buy me dinner.

Emma: Please. After going back to my house so I could change, and having my mum take another picture of us, it was the least I could do.

Sean: Oh, well. Okay. I'll get the movie.

Emma: Deal. I got you a veggie burger. I hope that's okay.

Sean: Yeah, it's fine. As long as it's not a hamburger.

Emma: You're a vegetarian too?

Sean: Actually, I love meat. But last summer, I spent a month with my aunt and uncle on their farm. They raise cattle for harvest.

Emma: Harvest?

Sean: Yeah, it's a more polite way of saying slaughter. Anyway, I saw a couple of these cows get "harvested." It was awful. The sounds, and the blood and guts oozing all over the place. And the smell, it was just... Sorry. I didn't really mean to-

Emma: No. It's okay. Really.

Sean: Anyways, I figured if I couldn't handle watching them become meat? Then I couldn't eat meat, either.

Emma: It's a good way of looking at it. I mean, so many people are hypocrites that way. They just pick up their meat from the supermarket in the nice shiny packages and just don't even think about what happened to it before it got there.

Sean: You've got this blob on your chin.
