Degrassi High (1987–1991): Season 1, Episode 6 - Rumor Has It - full transcript
Many of Ms. Avery's students think that she is a lesbian. Caitlin, insists that her teacher isn't gay. After dreaming that her classmates think that she is also gay, Caitlin begins to act self-conscious at school.
Throughout history
A lot of our heroines
Have been lost
or left unrecorded
Due largely
to the fact
That most
historians are men.
Ms. Avery's the
best teacher
I've ever had.
...Be it amelia earhart
Madame curie
Mary, queen of scots...
Caitlin--
Come up
here, please.
Yes, ms. Avery.
Your essay on native
peoples was excellent.
Thanks.
You're the best
student I ever had.
Kathleen:
Ms. Avery's gay.
She's a lesbian.
Never mind what they say.
We don't care, do we?
( whispering: )
she's gay.
Ms. Avery's gay.
She's a lesbian...
She's gay...
I know,
it's true.
She's a lesbian.
I heard the rumors.
She's queer...
She's gay...
No!

Who's going
to be there?
Um, you, me,
annie and kathleen.
Your parents don't
mind us sleeping over
When they're away?
Patrick's there.
He's okay...
For a brother.
Rick:
Hi, caitlin.
Hi, rick.
"hi, rick."
Susie!
Let's go
To the
darkroom.
Kathleen:
I wonder if ms. Avery
is a lesbian.
That's just
a rumor.
But I've never seen
her with any men.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Ms. Avery:
Hello.
Hi.
I've been having some
really strange dreams lately.
Dreams are supposed to reveal
your inner desires and stuff.
Really?
Yeah.
Tell me
about them.
If they're not too dirty.
No, I don't think so.
Bet they're about rick.
No!
Susie:
Don't be
scared of boys.
I'm not!
Sure you are.
If you weren't
You would have invited
some to your sleepover.
Kathleen would
love it.
Can you imagine...
Arthur:
Here are some tips
On how to make
your house
A safer house.
Here the
statistics
Uh, show...
A 63% drop...
In property crimes...
There
it is, 63%.
Neighborhood watch--
A program
that works.
Thank you.
Thank you, arthur.
Thank you, yick
For an excellent
presentation.
Next week, we'll have
caitlin and susie's
Candid photo project
On life
at degrassi.
That's it.
Bye-bye.
Melanie:
Are all eight
questions due?
No, just the
first four.
Kathleen:
What time
Should we come over?
Around 6:00.
We have stuff
to do first.
Wow, we can
eat popcorn
And talk
about boys!
Annie!
You're such
a pervert.
What else is there
to think about?
Oh, girls, how are your photos?
Fine.
Ms. Avery:
I'm really
looking forward
To seeing them.
Caitlin--
Your essay on
native peoples
Was excellent.
You have a
moment, karen?
Bye, have
a nice weekend.
Mr. Raditch:
Did you hear
the rumor...
What if they were
having an affair?
Lezzies aren't
interested in men.
Who says she's a lesbian?
We've never seen
her with any men.
They look friendly.
Of course.
They work
together.
What's wrong with
being homosexual?
Why, are you
a lezzie, too?
No, but I'm
not prejudiced.
Look out!
An avalanche.
I'm really
glad ms. Avery
Assigned us
this project
On neighborhood
watch.
It was very stimulating.
In fact, I think
I'll devote my life
To crime prevention.
I can see it all now--
"arthur kobalewscuy,
private investigator."
It's gone!
What?
20 bucks my dad gave
me to buy sneakers.
What will I tell him?
Look again.
That's a mess.
I've looked everywhere.
You know what this means, yick?
There's a thief here.
It's ringing,
it's ringing!
It's ringing!
( deep voice ):
Hello, may I speak
To mr. Raditch?
It's some lady.
Raditch has
a girlfriend?
Maybe
it's his wife.
He doesn't wear a ring.
Lots of married
people don't.
Is this mr. Raditch
on the line?
You'd better
get off--
There's a
train coming!
Your turn
next, caitlin.
Don't peek.
I'm not.
Okay, ready?
What is it?
Avery!
I don't know if I should.
Just because
you're her pet...
I am not.
Here--
"k. Avery."
There's only one.
Annie:
You sleep with
a teddy bear?
No, I just
don't want
To throw
him away.
I've still
got mine, too.
Shh!
Hello, um...
I'd like to talk to ms. Avery.
No, no message.
She wasn't home.
Susie:
Who was that?
Some lady.
Bet it's her lover.
That's a rumor.
Everyone knows she's gay.
No, she isn't.
Kathleen:
Look at the facts.
She's not married
And she's always
with that woman.
Stop making
stuff up.
I'm not making stuff up.
I know I saw her
and her "friend"
On king street
last week.
They were holding hands
In the middle of the street
And talking in
each other's ears.
Thanks.
Licorice.
Oh, here
she comes.
They're
just talking.
Bye-bye.
Have a good day.
Ms. Avery:
Hi.
Hi.
That must have been
her girlfriend.
Annie:
Come on, you don't
believe that, do you?
The instructions say
"dust liberally...
Over suspicious surfaces."
Where did you get
fingerprint powder?
From the back
of a comic book.
It's guaranteed,
"or your money back."
Wow!
That's a lot of
fingerprints.
How do we know
whose is whose?
We need a
prime suspect.
Want some
licorice?
What do we
look for?
Suspicious
behavior.
I won $100 in
the lottery.
Stay alert--
It could be anyone.
You should
have seen it.
They almost kissed
on the lips.
You're making
such a big deal.
Hey, caitlin!
You want some licorice?
Sure.
Take as much
as you like.
I won 100 bucks.
Thanks.
Take some more.
Hey--
You want some
licorice?
Hey, caitlin!
Did you hear
about the kiss?
Melanie:
Not a real kiss.
Just a peck.
Lots of women
do that.
Looked pretty
suspicious.
You'll look
stupid
When we find out
she's got a boyfriend.
She doesn't
have a boyfriend.
How do you know?
Just because you've
never seen him.
Ms. Avery:
Good morning, class.
Kathleen, yes?
Ms. Avery, do you
have a boyfriend?
Hundreds!
But I don't know
What business
that is of yours.
Okay, I hope you're set
To work hard
this week.
I won $100 in
the lottery.
Did you?
Thank you.
Okay, we'll
take attendance.
Caitlin ryan...
Rick munro...
Susie rivera...
Alex yanko...
Sure, thanks.
Maybe he won
the lottery.
We already know
he's a thief.
It's probably
just rumors.
I also heard he stole
some magazines
And some records.
It can't all be rumors.
He sure has a reputation.
We're dealing with
a criminal here.
Susie:
I wonder what
lezzies do exactly.
Do they really kiss on the lips?
I don't see why
everyone's decided
Ms. Avery is a lesbian.
I bet kathleen's
making it up.
I was just wondering.
How would you like it
if people talked about you?
Okay, okay!
She likes to touch people.
So? Lots of people touch.
Caitlin, you're sure
acting weird about this.
It's not like they're saying
You're a
lezzie... Right?
Right?
Yeah...
Right.
Ms. Avery:
Caitlin, could you
come up here, please?
Yes, ms. Avery.
Your essay on
native peoples
Was just excellent.
You're the best
student I ever had.
Caitlin's gay.
She's a lesbian.
Yes, I know.
She's a lesbian...
She's a lesbian...
She's a lesbian...
She's gay.
She's gay.
She's a
lesbian.
Caitlin's gay.
Caitlin's queer.
I know it's true.
She's a homosexual.
I heard the rumors.
She's gay.
She's a lesbian.
Gay!
No!
Gay! Gay!
No, I'm not!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
No!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
No!
Susie:
I'll check the pictures.
What about
those ones
We were enlarging?
I'm almost finished.
Ms. Avery:
Oh, caitlin.
Susie:
See you in class.
There was an
interesting article
In last night's
newspaper
About native peoples
So I cut it
out for you.
Thanks.
There was
also a book
I thought you might
be interested in
So I've ordered it.
You seem to
have taken
A great interest
in the topic.
Caitlin:
Well, I saw a
film last year...
Mr. Lawrence:
Attention, students...
Are you sure
he'll steal?
Once a criminal,
always a criminal.
Anyone finding
a pair of glasses
Lost in the gym
Please turn them in...
And when he does
We'll catch him
red-handed.
Caitlin?
A lezzie?
Come on!
No, think
about it.
She's always
Hanging
around avery.
They're always touching.
That's ridiculous.
What about how
weird caitlin is
About getting
changed in gym?
She's shy, that's all.
And how strange
she's been acting
About avery?
Annie:
And she's always
defending avery.
What difference
does it make
Even if she is a lesbian?
She's not a lesbian!
I wouldn't hang
around with her
In a darkroom.
Why?
I don't know.
She might try
To do something.
And don't blame us
When people
start talking
About you, too.
Hi, susie.
Hi.
Ms. Avery:
Good morning.
Class:
Good morning, ms. Avery.
Hey, want some licorice?
Sure.
Caitlin:
Susie, wait.
Where are
you going?
Um, well...
I thought we were
doing pictures.
I thought maybe
we could do
The rest tomorrow.
Well, why not today?
So we get them finished?
It won't take long.
Sure.
Let's do
it today.
Hey, jose--
Want some licorice?
I won 100 bucks.
Yeah?
All students are reminded
That notices and posters
must first be cleared
With the principal's office...
Want some licorice?
...Including the
"no posters here" notices
And the "no notices to
be posted here" poster.
Licorice for you
And some for you.
These pictures are great.
Who'd have thought our
school was so interesting?
My parents were going to
send me to private school
But it was too expensive.
I'm glad I'm here
because these are great.
Okay, susie, what's up?
Up?
You haven't stopped talking
Since you
got here.
Even for you,
that's kind of weird.
I'm just excited.
Susie, what's wrong?
You're not a lesbian, are you?
What?
Some people
say you are.
You're not, are you?
I'm sorry!
I just don't know
what's going on.
Join the club.
What do I do?
I can't help those dreams.
Supposing I am a lesbian.
Does that mean I won't
have any friends?
Will everyone talk and
whisper behind my back?
Will they all hate me?
Even susie?
I really like ms. Avery.
Is that wrong?
I just don't want
to be different.
Ms. Avery:
Well done.
And this
one's for you.
Good work.
Watch your sentences.
They have a
tendency to run on.
There you go.
This one's for you.
And... Good work.
Well done.
And alex...
Just as I suspected.
I knew you
could write
If you only tried.
And caitlin...
Very nicely argued.
Don't touch me!
Caitlin, I'd like
you to stay behind.
I told you
She was a lesbian.
There he goes.
Next week is safety week.
Constable lawrence filey
of the metro police
Will speak at
the resource center
On "street smarts--
what they mean to you."
Attendance is
highly recommended.
So, caitlin...
Tell me what's
going on.
I've got lots of time.
People are saying stuff.
What kind of stuff?
That you're a lesbian.
Really?
And why would
people say
Something like that?
You're not married.
Oh, so all single
people are gay?
So...
Let's hear more "evidence."
You're always with that woman.
Who, elaine?
We share
a house.
It's cheaper than
living alone.
Anything else?
My friend said
she saw you holding hands
On king street.
Well, your friend has
a vivid imagination.
We saw you kiss her.
I kiss most
Of my women
friends.
So?
Is that
everything?
Is there anything else?
Hey, here
he comes.
Come on!
Rick:
Hey--
You two have been
following me
For two days.
Well...
It's about
the money.
What are you
talking about?
It was stolen
from my locker.
Stolen?
Not stolen-- borrowed.
Yick and I
appreciate that, right?
You think I took it?
You're crazy!
After the money
disappeared
You bought a
ton of licorice.
And there's all
those rumors...
What do you mean?
You believe
everything you hear?
Don't ever
Follow me around.
Is that clear?
Crystal.
Ms. Avery:
Any other rumors?
They say I'm gay, too.
Do you think
you are?
I've been having
dreams that...
Well, aren't
quite normal.
Caitlin,
it's all right.
Lots of girls
your age
Have sort of
sexual dreams.
Boys, too.
Your bodies are changing
And there's confusing things
Going on inside your head.
That's all those dreams
mean, nothing more.
Maybe he didn't
take the money.
But he's our
only suspect.
And we're out of
fingerprint powder.
Who else
could it be?
He's the only kid in school
With a
criminal record.
And he's been
acting strange.
It's got to be him.
Oh, no, it doesn't.
You broomhead!
You almost
got me killed!
You wanted to
play detective.
You couldn't find it.
Yick:
Is it my fault
It was stuck
in the locker?
Arthur:
Yes!
Hey, karen.
Mr. Raditch?
Caitlin, please--
No more rumors.
Okay.
Ms. Avery...
I think
You're a really good teacher.
I'm sorry I thought
you were gay.
There's nothing
to be sorry for.
Would it make
Any difference
if I were?
Would you think
less of me, caitlin?
A lot of our heroines
Have been lost
or left unrecorded
Due largely
to the fact
That most
historians are men.
Ms. Avery's the
best teacher
I've ever had.
...Be it amelia earhart
Madame curie
Mary, queen of scots...
Caitlin--
Come up
here, please.
Yes, ms. Avery.
Your essay on native
peoples was excellent.
Thanks.
You're the best
student I ever had.
Kathleen:
Ms. Avery's gay.
She's a lesbian.
Never mind what they say.
We don't care, do we?
( whispering: )
she's gay.
Ms. Avery's gay.
She's a lesbian...
She's gay...
I know,
it's true.
She's a lesbian.
I heard the rumors.
She's queer...
She's gay...
No!

Patrick's there.
He's okay...
For a brother.
Rick:
Hi, caitlin.
Hi, rick.
"hi, rick."
Susie!
Let's go
To the
darkroom.
Kathleen:
I wonder if ms. Avery
is a lesbian.
That's just
a rumor.
But I've never seen
her with any men.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Ms. Avery:
Hello.
Hi.
I've been having some
really strange dreams lately.
Dreams are supposed to reveal
your inner desires and stuff.
Really?
Yeah.
Tell me
about them.
If they're not too dirty.
No, I don't think so.
Bet they're about rick.
No!
Susie:
Don't be
scared of boys.
I'm not!
Sure you are.
If you weren't
You would have invited
some to your sleepover.
Kathleen would
love it.
Can you imagine...
Arthur:
Here are some tips
On how to make
your house
A safer house.
Here the
statistics
Uh, show...
A 63% drop...
In property crimes...
There
it is, 63%.
Neighborhood watch--
A program
that works.
Thank you.
Thank you, arthur.
Thank you, yick
For an excellent
presentation.
Next week, we'll have
caitlin and susie's
Candid photo project
On life
at degrassi.
That's it.
Bye-bye.
Melanie:
Are all eight
questions due?
No, just the
first four.
Kathleen:
What time
Should we come over?
Around 6:00.
We have stuff
to do first.
Wow, we can
eat popcorn
And talk
about boys!
Annie!
You're such
a pervert.
What else is there
to think about?
Oh, girls, how are your photos?
Fine.
Ms. Avery:
I'm really
looking forward
To seeing them.
Caitlin--
Your essay on
native peoples
Was excellent.
You have a
moment, karen?
Bye, have
a nice weekend.
Mr. Raditch:
Did you hear
the rumor...
What if they were
having an affair?
Lezzies aren't
interested in men.
Who says she's a lesbian?
We've never seen
her with any men.
They look friendly.
Of course.
They work
together.
What's wrong with
being homosexual?
Why, are you
a lezzie, too?
No, but I'm
not prejudiced.
Look out!
An avalanche.
I'm really
glad ms. Avery
Assigned us
this project
On neighborhood
watch.
It was very stimulating.
In fact, I think
I'll devote my life
To crime prevention.
I can see it all now--
"arthur kobalewscuy,
private investigator."
It's gone!
What?
20 bucks my dad gave
me to buy sneakers.
What will I tell him?
Look again.
That's a mess.
I've looked everywhere.
You know what this means, yick?
There's a thief here.
It's ringing,
it's ringing!
It's ringing!
( deep voice ):
Hello, may I speak
To mr. Raditch?
It's some lady.
Raditch has
a girlfriend?
Maybe
it's his wife.
He doesn't wear a ring.
Lots of married
people don't.
Is this mr. Raditch
on the line?
You'd better
get off--
There's a
train coming!
Your turn
next, caitlin.
Don't peek.
I'm not.
Okay, ready?
What is it?
Avery!
I don't know if I should.
Just because
you're her pet...
I am not.
Here--
"k. Avery."
There's only one.
Annie:
You sleep with
a teddy bear?
No, I just
don't want
To throw
him away.
I've still
got mine, too.
Shh!
Hello, um...
I'd like to talk to ms. Avery.
No, no message.
She wasn't home.
Susie:
Who was that?
Some lady.
Bet it's her lover.
That's a rumor.
Everyone knows she's gay.
No, she isn't.
Kathleen:
Look at the facts.
She's not married
And she's always
with that woman.
Stop making
stuff up.
I'm not making stuff up.
I know I saw her
and her "friend"
On king street
last week.
They were holding hands
In the middle of the street
And talking in
each other's ears.
Thanks.
Licorice.
Oh, here
she comes.
They're
just talking.
Bye-bye.
Have a good day.
Ms. Avery:
Hi.
Hi.
That must have been
her girlfriend.
Annie:
Come on, you don't
believe that, do you?
The instructions say
"dust liberally...
Over suspicious surfaces."
Where did you get
fingerprint powder?
From the back
of a comic book.
It's guaranteed,
"or your money back."
Wow!
That's a lot of
fingerprints.
How do we know
whose is whose?
We need a
prime suspect.
Want some
licorice?
What do we
look for?
Suspicious
behavior.
I won $100 in
the lottery.
Stay alert--
It could be anyone.
You should
have seen it.
They almost kissed
on the lips.
You're making
such a big deal.
Hey, caitlin!
You want some licorice?
Sure.
Take as much
as you like.
I won 100 bucks.
Thanks.
Take some more.
Hey--
You want some
licorice?
Hey, caitlin!
Did you hear
about the kiss?
Melanie:
Not a real kiss.
Just a peck.
Lots of women
do that.
Looked pretty
suspicious.
You'll look
stupid
When we find out
she's got a boyfriend.
She doesn't
have a boyfriend.
How do you know?
Just because you've
never seen him.
Ms. Avery:
Good morning, class.
Kathleen, yes?
Ms. Avery, do you
have a boyfriend?
Hundreds!
But I don't know
What business
that is of yours.
Okay, I hope you're set
To work hard
this week.
I won $100 in
the lottery.
Did you?
Thank you.
Okay, we'll
take attendance.
Caitlin ryan...
Rick munro...
Susie rivera...
Alex yanko...
Sure, thanks.
Maybe he won
the lottery.
We already know
he's a thief.
It's probably
just rumors.
I also heard he stole
some magazines
And some records.
It can't all be rumors.
He sure has a reputation.
We're dealing with
a criminal here.
Susie:
I wonder what
lezzies do exactly.
Do they really kiss on the lips?
I don't see why
everyone's decided
Ms. Avery is a lesbian.
I bet kathleen's
making it up.
I was just wondering.
How would you like it
if people talked about you?
Okay, okay!
She likes to touch people.
So? Lots of people touch.
Caitlin, you're sure
acting weird about this.
It's not like they're saying
You're a
lezzie... Right?
Right?
Yeah...
Right.
Ms. Avery:
Caitlin, could you
come up here, please?
Yes, ms. Avery.
Your essay on
native peoples
Was just excellent.
You're the best
student I ever had.
Caitlin's gay.
She's a lesbian.
Yes, I know.
She's a lesbian...
She's a lesbian...
She's a lesbian...
She's gay.
She's gay.
She's a
lesbian.
Caitlin's gay.
Caitlin's queer.
I know it's true.
She's a homosexual.
I heard the rumors.
She's gay.
She's a lesbian.
Gay!
No!
Gay! Gay!
No, I'm not!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
No!
Lesbian!
Lesbian!
No!
Susie:
I'll check the pictures.
What about
those ones
We were enlarging?
I'm almost finished.
Ms. Avery:
Oh, caitlin.
Susie:
See you in class.
There was an
interesting article
In last night's
newspaper
About native peoples
So I cut it
out for you.
Thanks.
There was
also a book
I thought you might
be interested in
So I've ordered it.
You seem to
have taken
A great interest
in the topic.
Caitlin:
Well, I saw a
film last year...
Mr. Lawrence:
Attention, students...
Are you sure
he'll steal?
Once a criminal,
always a criminal.
Anyone finding
a pair of glasses
Lost in the gym
Please turn them in...
And when he does
We'll catch him
red-handed.
Caitlin?
A lezzie?
Come on!
No, think
about it.
She's always
Hanging
around avery.
They're always touching.
That's ridiculous.
What about how
weird caitlin is
About getting
changed in gym?
She's shy, that's all.
And how strange
she's been acting
About avery?
Annie:
And she's always
defending avery.
What difference
does it make
Even if she is a lesbian?
She's not a lesbian!
I wouldn't hang
around with her
In a darkroom.
Why?
I don't know.
She might try
To do something.
And don't blame us
When people
start talking
About you, too.
Hi, susie.
Hi.
Ms. Avery:
Good morning.
Class:
Good morning, ms. Avery.
Hey, want some licorice?
Sure.
Caitlin:
Susie, wait.
Where are
you going?
Um, well...
I thought we were
doing pictures.
I thought maybe
we could do
The rest tomorrow.
Well, why not today?
So we get them finished?
It won't take long.
Sure.
Let's do
it today.
Hey, jose--
Want some licorice?
I won 100 bucks.
Yeah?
All students are reminded
That notices and posters
must first be cleared
With the principal's office...
Want some licorice?
...Including the
"no posters here" notices
And the "no notices to
be posted here" poster.
Licorice for you
And some for you.
These pictures are great.
Who'd have thought our
school was so interesting?
My parents were going to
send me to private school
But it was too expensive.
I'm glad I'm here
because these are great.
Okay, susie, what's up?
Up?
You haven't stopped talking
Since you
got here.
Even for you,
that's kind of weird.
I'm just excited.
Susie, what's wrong?
You're not a lesbian, are you?
What?
Some people
say you are.
You're not, are you?
I'm sorry!
I just don't know
what's going on.
Join the club.
What do I do?
I can't help those dreams.
Supposing I am a lesbian.
Does that mean I won't
have any friends?
Will everyone talk and
whisper behind my back?
Will they all hate me?
Even susie?
I really like ms. Avery.
Is that wrong?
I just don't want
to be different.
Ms. Avery:
Well done.
And this
one's for you.
Good work.
Watch your sentences.
They have a
tendency to run on.
There you go.
This one's for you.
And... Good work.
Well done.
And alex...
Just as I suspected.
I knew you
could write
If you only tried.
And caitlin...
Very nicely argued.
Don't touch me!
Caitlin, I'd like
you to stay behind.
I told you
She was a lesbian.
There he goes.
Next week is safety week.
Constable lawrence filey
of the metro police
Will speak at
the resource center
On "street smarts--
what they mean to you."
Attendance is
highly recommended.
So, caitlin...
Tell me what's
going on.
I've got lots of time.
People are saying stuff.
What kind of stuff?
That you're a lesbian.
Really?
And why would
people say
Something like that?
You're not married.
Oh, so all single
people are gay?
So...
Let's hear more "evidence."
You're always with that woman.
Who, elaine?
We share
a house.
It's cheaper than
living alone.
Anything else?
My friend said
she saw you holding hands
On king street.
Well, your friend has
a vivid imagination.
We saw you kiss her.
I kiss most
Of my women
friends.
So?
Is that
everything?
Is there anything else?
Hey, here
he comes.
Come on!
Rick:
Hey--
You two have been
following me
For two days.
Well...
It's about
the money.
What are you
talking about?
It was stolen
from my locker.
Stolen?
Not stolen-- borrowed.
Yick and I
appreciate that, right?
You think I took it?
You're crazy!
After the money
disappeared
You bought a
ton of licorice.
And there's all
those rumors...
What do you mean?
You believe
everything you hear?
Don't ever
Follow me around.
Is that clear?
Crystal.
Ms. Avery:
Any other rumors?
They say I'm gay, too.
Do you think
you are?
I've been having
dreams that...
Well, aren't
quite normal.
Caitlin,
it's all right.
Lots of girls
your age
Have sort of
sexual dreams.
Boys, too.
Your bodies are changing
And there's confusing things
Going on inside your head.
That's all those dreams
mean, nothing more.
Maybe he didn't
take the money.
But he's our
only suspect.
And we're out of
fingerprint powder.
Who else
could it be?
He's the only kid in school
With a
criminal record.
And he's been
acting strange.
It's got to be him.
Oh, no, it doesn't.
You broomhead!
You almost
got me killed!
You wanted to
play detective.
You couldn't find it.
Yick:
Is it my fault
It was stuck
in the locker?
Arthur:
Yes!
Hey, karen.
Mr. Raditch?
Caitlin, please--
No more rumors.
Okay.
Ms. Avery...
I think
You're a really good teacher.
I'm sorry I thought
you were gay.
There's nothing
to be sorry for.
Would it make
Any difference
if I were?
Would you think
less of me, caitlin?
