Degrassi // Season 1

Wannabe: Part 3

Scene X

Manny: I can't believe you wrote that article, Em! You've got to get Liberty to cancel it.

Emma: How long have we been friends?

Manny: Since Kindergarten.

Emma: And now you think you can drop me like a hot potato just because, ooh, some eighth grader is finally talking to you?!

Manny: It's not like that, Em. I want to become a cheerleader, that's all.

Emma: Please.

Manny: Is it so wrong if I become friends with Paige in the process?

Emma: You honestly think Paige is your friend?

Manny: Is that so hard to believe? That for once someone cool likes me?

Emma: She's just using you, Manny!

Manny: No. You're just jealous!

Emma: Jealous? Of that pretentious wannabe?!

Manny: You know the difference between you and Paige? Paige is fun. You're so boring, sometimes I want to scream.

Emma: Well, I sure hope you and Paige have fun together. Just don't come crying to me when she stabs a knife in your back.

Manny: Don't worry, I won't!

Scene XI

Toby: Please. I can afford it. It's yours. Really, take it.

J.T.: What are you doing?

Toby: It was cheap. I'm upgrading my whole electronic system.

J.T.: You might want to stop doing that for a while.

Toby: Why? You do have the other can, don't you? You lost the ace of spades?!

J.T.: Shh! I didn't lose it. I just... misplaced it.

Toby: What? How could you misplace our chance at a million bucks?!

J.T.: My mom went on one of her cleaning binges. I just can't remember where I moved it to.

Toby: Well, think, man, think!

J.T.: Shh!

Liberty: Ah, my two favorite people. Anything wrong?

Mr. Simpson: Okay, our last unit was online portfolios. Today, I'm going to introduce you to photoshop. So you can begin to learn how to scan and edit images digitally. It's amazing what these programs can do. You can change hair color, eye color, whatever you want. Now, we're going to take it slow at first, because I don't want you guys to get too caught up with playing around with the technology-

Scene XII

(bell rings)

Mr. Raditch (over PA): Students, remember to pick up the new edition of the Degrassi Grapevine, out now. And lunch today- Mongolian chicken stir-fry.

Manny: What are you guys doing?

Paige: Just making some editorial changes. Emma's article is just horrible. I mean, it's really going to hurt us. Here, Manny, you do the next one. Normally, I wouldn't put stock in anything a grade seven wrote. No offense.

Hazel: But we need twelve people for the squad. And we only have eight. This article might convince people not to join.

Paige: And then, no Spirit Squad. I mean, you do want a Spirit Squad?

Manny: Of course!

Paige: Then prove it. There. Was that so hard?

Scene XIII

Toby: This can't be happening. This can't be happening. This can't be happening. J.T., when's the last time you remember having it?

J.T.: What are you, my mother? If I knew that, I'd have it right now. I lost it! So sue me!

Liberty: J.T., you find that can or I will sue you.

Toby: Spin, shouldn't you be at work?

Liberty: He has his priorities. And his priority right now? To hurt J.T. I told him everything.

J.T.: Guys. I'll make it up to you. I'll be your slave.

Spinner: Sorry, I don't speak dork. J.T., you're gonna find that can. If I have to stuff you in your locker to-

J.T.: My locker! That's it! No, they're not in there. It's in a plastic bag. There it is! Ace of spades, ace of clubs. We're rich!

Spinner: You moron! They're both clubs.

J.T.: Ace of spades, ace of clubs. They're so similar...

Spinner: I knew it was a mistake, hooking up with a bunch of loser grade sevens.

J.T.: Guys, c'mon. Ow. Ow. Help! Help!
