Degrassi // Season 1

Under Pressure: Part 2

Scene VI

Emma: Okay, repeat after me. Shootbac.

Sean: Shootbac. Is that on the test?

Emma: No, I made it up. The consonants stand for the HTML tags used in a webpage. S is for starting, H for head, T for title, B for body, and C for closing. I added vowels to make it easy to remember. Shootbac!

Sean: You are such a Liberty.

Emma: I am not. It's called mnemonics.

Sean: Alright, Liberty. Whatever, Liberty. You want to mess with me? I'll mess you up. I'm big trouble. (laughs)

Emma: Yeah, I heard.

Sean: You heard what?

Emma: Just... Tracker said you got into trouble once.  He didn't give me the details.

Sean: Okay. Back in Wasaga Beach, I got into a fight with this guy. Messed up his hearing pretty bad.

Emma: You made him deaf?

Sean: Yeah. Yeah, in one ear.

Emma: Permanently?

Sean: I'm not proud of what I did, you know. Sometimes I just get really, really mad and... But I'm working on it, okay?

Emma: And it was a year ago, right?

Sean: Yeah. Yeah, it was. What's that smell?

Emma: Oh, no! The popcorn! How about we have corn nuts instead?

Scene VII

Emma: So, are you nervous?

Sean: Yeah.

Mr. Simpson: Okay, guys. As you all know, your media immersion tests will be written online, which is very cool. So, you're all on the media immersion test page? Okay. Click on the link which says "Unit Review Test," and when it prompts you, enter the password "broomhead." All lower case. Forty-five minutes. The test automatically ends when time's up. Good luck.

Scene VIII

Paige: Spinner, I told you. I don't want to hear any of your stupid ideas. And getting sick on purpose? Qualifies.

Spinner: Paige, you sure you're not psychic? 'Cause you just read my mind.

(Terri sneezes)

Spinner: Bless you. I'll be right back.

Terri: Uh, not a good idea, Spinner. I think I've got what Oskar had.

Spinner: What kind of friend would I be if I let a silly little flu virus come between us?

Mr. Armstrong: Sorry I'm late, guys. I just finished marking your tests and overall I was pleased. However, some scores were disappointing.

Spinner: 51 percent?! Yes! Now I just gotta get out of English, and high school, here I come.

Mr. Armstrong: Uh, Terri, you know you're not allowed to bring beverages into class, right?

Terri: Sorry, Mr. Armstrong. I was just about to throw it out.

Spinner: Uh-uh. I'll do that for you.

Mr. Armstrong: And Spinner, when you're done, take your seat. Okay, and the rest of the results, Ashley, excellent work, 91 percent...

Scene IX

Sean: No. I'm not done!

Liberty: Forty-five minutes, remember?

Sean: But, I'm not finished!

Liberty: Time's up. You're locked out.

Emma: See, Sean? It wasn't so hard.

Sean: What are you talking about? I didn't even have time to finish. I failed.

Emma: Oh.

Sean: I was right. I'm screwed.

Emma: Sean, you don't know that.

Sean: No, Emma. You don't know. Anything I have ever tried at, I have failed.

Emma: Sean, come on.

Sean: You know what, Emma? Just don't talk to me, okay? Just leave me alone.

Scene X

Jimmy: Aww, what's wrong? Forgot your combo? You should ask Spinner for one of his Ritalin. Really helps sharpen the memory.

Sean: Was that a joke?

Jimmy: Yeah. Relax.

Sean: Don't push me, okay?

Jimmy: Dude, what's your problem?

Sean: What's my problem?

Jimmy: Yeah. Do you understand English?

Sean: So, you think I'm stupid?

Jimmy: No, I think you're a freak.

Mr. Armstrong: Hey! Hey, guys. Guys, what's going on here?

Sean: Nothing. We're just playing around.

Mr. Armstrong: Well, tone it down, alright?

Sean: I'll see you after school.
