Degrassi High (1987–1991): Season 3, Episode 3 - A Big Girl Now - full transcript

Lucy gets a bad reputation when the rumor spreads that she is sleeping with her boyfriend Paul.

Garcia:
I'd like you all to match
column "a" with column "b".

As you can see: "a-o-d".

"a-o-d" is
an obtuse angle.

"a-o-e" is
a straight angle.

Okay, class dismissed.

We'll continue this tomorrow.

Remember to put
your books on my desk.

Lucy?

Don't forget
my soccer game.

L.D., how
could I forget?

You've only
told me, like,
a thousand times.



It's the first
game of the season

And it's embarrassing
if no one shows up.

Hey, spike,
can you come?

I can't-- I've got to
pick up the baby.

Don't you get
any time off?

She's sick a lot.

Maybe next time.

Okay.

Bye.

Principal:
This is your principal,
mr. Lawrence, speaking.

Anyone interested in entering
this year's...

I wonder what
it would be like.

I wouldn't want
to be a teenage mom.

Not that.



I mean sex.

Come on, you're only 14.

14 isn't so young, you know.

I'm a big girl now.

I just wouldn't
want you to get hurt

Or a
reputation...

Or pregnant.

Oh, l.D., don't worry.

I was curious, that's all.

This article
is so great.

Listen to this:

"if you love me,
have sex with me."

Oh, that is so stupid!

How could anyone
fall for that?

I have no idea.

If you were
a real woman

You'd tell cement-head
to take a hike.

Hi, guys.

Don't forget
my game today, okay?

L.D., relax--
we'll be there.

Hey, look.

There's the romantic
couple now.

Thanks, clutch.

See you.

I'll see you
later, then?

We're at borden
third period.

Look good
together.

Yeah.

Lucy:
The usual place?

Yeah--
you know something?

I really like you.

I really
like you, too.

Yuck!

What do you mean, yuck?

I'd love to be
kissed like that.

L.D., he is
in high school.

You must admit
paul is cute.

Hey, dude!

Back in the car.

We'll
be late.

I've got to go.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

She doesn't
know him.

L.D., they're not
getting married.

Hi, guys.

Hi, lucy.

How's paul?

I'm in love.

In lust, dearie.

Guys...
Wheels.

Hi, wheels.

Lucy:
Hi, wheels.

Hi, wheels.

Hi.

( singing to himself: )
♪ take your money...
And never give up. ♪

Hi, joey.

Caitlin, hi!

Hi, wheels.

Hi.

Hey, wheels--
the chick's crazy about me.

Of course, who isn't?

I'm a very
studly guy.

So, uh... I've been
trying to call you.

Haven't seen you
around much.

I don't feel like
coming to school.

So, um... How are
things at home?

Well, it's just when
I go home and open the door...

I expect to see them,
but then I remember.

It's like a dream, man.

Hey...

Let's rehearse
tonight--

The zit remedy
back together.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Joey, I don't want fun!

I don't feel like
playing music.

I don't want to
be in the band.

Hi, snake.

Snake, wheels
quit the band.

Wouldn't you?

But it might
cheer him up

Get his mind
off of stuff.

At least
I'm trying.

You can't even
talk to the guy.

Would the election chairman

Please bring the final
ballot count...

They announce
the election results today.

I'm going to lose.

I just know
I'm going to lose.

There's only two of you.

If you lose,
you'll still be
vice-president.

I don't want to lose.

Gee, kathleen, how tragic.

Look, melanie, you said
you wanted to help me.

Here's
your chance.

I really need a friend
right now.

Melanie, come on.

Why are you so mad at me?

Honestly,
you're so
oversensitive.

Good morning, scholars.

Today is a big day.

This is mr. Lawrence speaking.

I have the election
results here.

Your new school president...

Oh, please, please.

Is nancy kramer.

As the only other contender
for that position

Kathleen mead becomes
your new vice-president.

Congratulations.

You'll do a fine job.

Thank you, sir.

In other positions...

I told you I'd lose.

You're second
in command.

That's often
where power lies

Especially since
you're way smarter

Than nancy is.

Take out your textbooks
and open to chapter three.

The buses for borden are here.

Please head downstairs quietly.

So, paul,
how far did you get

With this lucy chick?

None of
your business.

She's hot for you, man.

Give me a break.

She touches you
and flirts with you.

You know her, right?

Paul:
Give me a break.

Bye.

I'm so ugly.

They expect us
to construct these?

Boy:
Well, looky, looky--
the little kids are here today.

I hate that.

Who changes
their diapers?

They're just joking.

I heard during
initiation

One girl got
her head dunked
in a toilet.

That's just a rumor.

Everyone's nice here.

Besides,
initiation's banned.

Maybe
officially.

They're
nice to you.

You've got
a boyfriend.

You get treated
special.

We get treated
like dirt.

I'll introduce you
to some of the guys.

Introduce me
to clutch.

He has got
a great body.

Pervert?

I'm just
stating a fact.

Okay, I can admit
he has a good body

But he's missing
something--

Personality, maybe?

There's paul--
I'll see you later.

Lucy, wait!

It's only lunchtime.

We have classes.

Just study periods.

People in high school
skip all the time.

What about
my game?

Oh, l.D., I forgot, I'm sorry.

I can't make it.

Paul and me
made plans.

But you promised!

I can't say no to paul.

I'll make it up to you.

My parents aren't home
this weekend.

You can come
sleep over.

You guys, too--
we'll rent videos.

Okay.

Stay up really
late, okay?

Okay.
Okay.

Lucy.

Come on.

I've got to go.

I'll see
you later.

Good luck on the game.

I'll be at the next one.

Come on, come on.

I've got
the car running.

Let's go.

Come on, we'll miss the bus.

( mocking: )
"people in
high school skip."

We're in high school--
we're not skipping.

Lucy's making promises
she can't keep.

Congratulations,
nancy.

Thanks,
treasurer.

Congratulations.

I heard you
got president.

Thanks, luke.

Sports rep?

Yes.

Hi, alexa.

I'm so happy
for you.

Kathleen,
now that we're
friends again

Vice-president helps
choose committees.

I'd like to be
on the dance committee

So I can meet boys.

I'm in grade eight--

I should have
a steady relationship.

I'll see
what I can do.

See you later.

I thought we were
having lunch together.

Nancy and I
have lots to discuss.

Congratulations on
becoming president.

Congratulations
on vice-prez.

I'm very happy.

Nancy:
Well, we have
a lot to do.

Lucy:
They leave
Friday night.

They've already
started packing.

They come back Sunday night.

They'll be away
all weekend?

Uh-huh.

That'll finally give us
a chance to be alone.

Um... Lunchtime.

Are we eating?

Right.

Lucy's parents
are going away
all weekend.

All right, party!

Um, paul and I sort of
wanted to be alone.

You've got all weekend.

Come on, we've got to party.

Right, paul?

Well, right.

All right--
tomorrow?

Not tomorrow night--

I've got friends
coming over.

They can come over any night.

You want to play with
little kids or big kids?

Can't the party
be Saturday?

Drew's having a party Saturday.

Don't be a drag.

Paul,
tell her.

Come on,
it'll be fun.

Okay... I guess.

All right!

My friends
could come, too.

Are you
kidding?

I don't want any "niners"

At the
party.

What do I tell them?

I've already invited them.

They're your friends.

Why don't you tell them
your mom's sick?

Paul, get my
brother's I.D.,
buy some "brewskis."

Come on-- it'll be fun.

It'll be awesome.

We'll invite the whole world.

We'll invite faith and john--

The party
animals.

I tell you,
wild time!

Stay up
all night...

It'll be wild.

Why can't we get
a girl for the band?

We should just
get simon.

But a girl can
wear bikinis
on stage.

You want her to wear...?

Yeah.

What?

There he is--
go talk to him.

I don't know
what to say.

He won't bite!

Leave me alone.

Hey, wheels.

Why won't he
talk to me?

He doesn't know
what to say.

The least he could
say is "hi."

Maybe he's just scared.

Good morning,
mr. Raditch.

Are you enjoying
being vice-president?

Oh, it's great.

Kathleen?

We have extra ballet
tickets tonight.

Want to come?

Sorry, I can't.

Nancy and I
have a meeting.

Vice-president is
a serious position.

There's a lot
of work.

Don't forget about
the dance committee!

( mocking: )
no, melanie, I won't forget.

Why would I forget?

Hi.

Hi.

Thanks.

You look really tired.

I feel like such a wreck.

Emma cried all night.

Lucy, we won!

We clobbered them.

That's great.

They're
supposed to be

The best team
this year.

We have a shot at
the championships.

She scored three goals.

Amazing.

Um... L.D.

You guys won't be able
to sleep over tonight.

Paul, right?

No, it's not paul.

It's my mom...

She's really sick.

I promised my dad
I'd stay with her.

Is it serious?

No, I... I
don't think so.

Good morning.

Let's pick up that
assignment, shall we?

Let's open our texts:

"reflection
symmetries

Of triangles
and quadrilaterals."

Did you hear
about the party?

No, how was it?

Great.

Listen, I can't talk now.

I'll tell you later, okay?

Spike:
Okay, bye.

Hey-hey, liz!

Would mr. Jackson or mr. Thomas

Please report to
the principal's office?

Hi, spike.

Hi.

Um...

I know it's kind of personal

But...

When you and shane had sex...

What was it like?

I mean, if you
hadn't gotten pregnant

Would it have been worth it?

Well... It wasn't what
I thought it would be like.

It was over
kind of fast.

And it hurt.

So why did you do it?

Because I wanted him to like me

And I didn't know
how to say stop.

See...

Sometimes paul and me,
we go pretty far...

And sometimes
I'd like to go further.

It sounds like what happened
between shane and me.

Be careful.

Nancy:
It'll make us
unpopular.

Kathleen:
We're not in this
to become popular.

It's for the school.

The dress code
is not a good idea.

We can talk
about it later.

Let's talk committees.

First, the dance committee:

Some people in grade eight feel
they should be on this committee

But they're
way too immature.

Let's restrict it
to ninth-graders.

Yeah.

Hello, kathleen.

Oh, hi, melanie.

I think you're right.

Right?

Yes.

I'm too immature for committees.

Oh, no, melanie,
you misheard me.

What I meant was...

Sorry.

That must have been
my immaturity shining through.

Well, ta-ta.

Were there
any volunteers?

Nancy!

Are you all right?

Lucy, we heard
about your mom.

What a drag.

Hope it's
not serious.

Yeah,
me, too.

Maybe next
weekend, okay?

I'm really
sorry.

Don't apologize--
it's not your fault.

Right.

Lucy, come on!

I've got to go.

Bye.
Bye.
Bye.

Let's party!

Party?

What party?

Come on!

Let's pick up
the supplies.

They're going
to a party later on.

Hey, lucy,
come on!

I've got to get going.

See you guys Monday.

Let's party
all night!

She thinks
we're that stupid?

Going to
a party later?

Right.

I think she's
going with them.

And anyone knowing
the whereabouts

Of either mr. Jackson
or mr. Thomas

Please contact
my office immediately.

Thank you.

Wheels.

Look, I've been
a real jerk.

But what happened...

I can't deal with it.

That's a really stupid
excuse, I know...

But I'm really, really sorry.

Thanks.

Wheels?

You want to get
some fries?

I'd like to,
but I can't.

I have to see
my social worker.

Okay.

Snake?

Thanks.

Boy:
What happened
in your game?

We got
disqualified.

Did you kick
some butt?

Of course.

So, paul, where's lucy?

She went to answer
the phone.

So is tonight
the big night?

Maybe.

Hey!!

Turn the music up.

Do you
really think

She likes me
that much?

Do birds fly?

Do fish swim?

Hey, turn up
the music!

Can't believe
these guys.

That was the neighbors.

They want us to turn it down.

Forget
the neighbors.

Chill out,
man.

Hi.

It's cold--
let's go inside.

Okay.

( whispers: )
all right.

Boys
♪ 98 bottles
of beer on the wall ♪

♪ 98 bottles of beer ♪

♪ if one
should fall ♪

♪ off the wall ♪

♪ 97 bottles of beer... ♪

How long have they
been in there?

Half an hour.

All right!

You guys
talk so big.

There's
nothing wrong

With being
a virgin.

Otherwise
there'd be

Something wrong
with you.

Paul...

Stop, please?

Come on, don't worry.

I've got protection.

No, stop it.

We can't stop now.

I'm sorry, I just
want to slow down.

I thought
you wanted to.

So did I, but not yet.

Come on, lucy.

I thought you
really liked me.

I do like you.

Then prove it.

It'll be
so special.

Paul, not now, okay?

But I want to.

Because you're a guy
I have to do what you want?

What's the big deal?

Everyone's doing it.

Fine.

You won't have any problem

Finding someone else.

Lucy...

Paul, I said no!

Forget it!

Boy ( outside ):
There's still one
more beer left.

I'd puke.

At least
one person

Had fun
tonight.

Yo, paul!

Did you score?

I'll never tell.

Bet he did.

I bet he didn't.

Are you sure?

She's lied to us before.

And she didn't
even invite us.

L.D.:
And that lie
about her mom?

It's all
because of
her boyfriend.

Hi, guys.

Look who it is now?

Bye, l.D.

Bye.

What's with them?

Enjoy the party?

Party?

Lucy, everyone knows.

L.D., let me
explain.

You don't need to.

It's quite obvious
you like your new friends

Better than your old friends.

I tried to get them
to invite you.

Right-- it was only
your house.

L.D., don't be
mad at me.

I'll make it up
to you, I promise.

You didn't
miss anything.

It was a disaster.

The neighbors
called the police.

My parents aren't
talking to me.

And paul...

I don't know--
we're not going out anymore.

Sure, you both got
what you wanted.

What?

What, l.D.? Tell me.

Lucy, it's not a secret.

Everyone knows
you and paul did it.
