Degrassi High (1987–1991): Season 3, Episode 9 - Food for Thought - full transcript
Melanie discovers that Kathleen has an eating disorder.
Man:
Michael! No, no,
I'm glad you called.
We're just having dinner,
but I want to get this resolved.
Yeah... No, you're right,
absolutely.
Oh, by the way, I want
lynne at the meeting.
She's done a lot
of the research.
Okay.
I'll grab
an early flight
And a cab
downtown.
Righto.
Good-bye.
So-- how long
are you with us
this time?
Off again tomorrow, I'm afraid.
Oh... Great.
Father:
Look, I'm sorry.
You know that travel
is part of the job.
( sarcastically ):
Part of the job?
A father and husband
who's never home.
Can I be excused?
But, kathleen, you've
hardly eaten a thing.
Dad, I'm full.
I've got to work
on my project
For the science fair.
She's so skinny--
are you feeding her?
Oh, so you're blaming me again?
Why don't you do your share?
Father:
Why can't we do this together?
Mother:
Right, I agree!
Father:
Where do you think
the burden is?
You sit and drink
scotch all day
While I make a living.
Mother:
That's not fair,
it's not fair!
You're so fat.

Kathleen,
where's the fire?
I was just getting
some exercise.
Oh... Good for you.
I know the resource
center doesn't open
For ten minutes,
but the science fair
is tomorrow
And I really
want to do well.
Come on,
I'll open it up for you.
Principal:
All students are reminded that
today's classes are canceled
To allow everyone extra time
to prepare their projects
For the science fair.
It is not an excuse
for undue socializing.
Thank you.
Hi, alexa.
Simon--
tell me the truth.
Am I too fat?
No.
Are you sure?
I feel fat.
The girls in here
are so skinny.
You look okay to me.
Wouldn't I look better
if I lost five pounds?
I don't know.
Maybe?
Maybe?!
You think I'm fat!
No, I was just...
How can you say such a thing?
I didn't think I did.
Give me a week--
I'll lose five pounds.
Uh... Okay.
Would all staff please remember
today's lunchtime meeting?
Science fairs are
supposed to be fun
But kathleen is
driving me crazy.
Why didn't you
change partners?
We signed up
in the fall
And changes
weren't allowed.
She's always writing
in that diary.
I wonder what's in it.
I bet it's
about boys.
Yeah...
All the boys
That didn't
ask her out.
Anyway, here goes.
Okay, good luck.
Bye.
What boy are you
writing about now?
It's not
about a boy.
Is it about me?
No, why would I
write about you?
And it's none of your business.
Have you finished
the chart yet?
No, not yet.
Well, get to work--
the fair's tomorrow.
Relax, it'll get done.
It has to be perfect.
I want to win.
Right.
Simon says I'm fat.
Alexa, you're
not fat.
I am!
I'm going to lose five pounds
in a week.
You do not need
to diet.
And be careful.
Crash diets are very unhealthy.
Here we go again.
Well, it's true.
Our project is on
eating disorders.
Heather's obsessed.
I am not!
Anorexia is serious.
It affects 5% of all women
and young girls.
My sister, the
talking pamphlet.
Alexa:
Anorexia!
I'd love to have
A little
anorexia.
Just for a week.
Alexa...
Anorexia is a disease.
It can
kill you.
Really?
Garcia:
Let's get started.
Those of you who wish
to work in the library
Please sign this sheet.
There.
Kathleen, I'm done.
What do you
think?
Good, it's lunchtime.
Want to get something to eat?
I'm not hungry.
How come you never eat?
Because I've got willpower.
Jealous?
No.
There's a spelling mistake.
"incinerators"--
it's with a "c," not an "s."
I've got white-out.
No, it's too messy!
No, it isn't.
No one will notice.
You don't want me
to start over.
Yes.
Kathleen! That took me hours.
You've just ruined it!
It has to be perfect.
Where are
you going?
To have lunch!
...The meeting at which I will
be speaking is now under way
And there are plenty of seats.
Caitlin:
She wrecked it?
She is such
a control freak.
Everything she does
has to be so perfect.
I know her mom's
an alcoholic
But it's still
no excuse.
She is so mean.
Don't even try
to understand her.
This is kathleen--
The wicked witch
of degrassi.
Guys! Listen to this!
It says here
If you stop drinking liquids,
you'll lose five pounds!
Except that it doesn't
stay off
And it's really
bad for you.
You sound like
a documentary.
Alexa--
why don't you
just exercise?
Exercise?
I hate exercise!
Sweat's so ugly.
Hey, luce--
Want to eat
with us?
No thanks, I already ate.
Anyway, clutch is coming over.
See? She's always
making excuses
For not eating.
Heather, she's
already eaten.
How do we know
that's true?
I'm so hungry.
The rescheduling of this
staff meeting until tomorrow
Should allow all teachers
sufficient notice...
You can take your projects to
the gym now or in the morning.
Have you noticed
what I've noticed?
What?
Jill got
the healthy food
And she got fat.
Jack got the junk food
And he's
still thin.
This could make an impressive
argument for my mother.
We'd be done if you
hadn't ruined my chart.
I told you,
it wasn't good enough.
Kathleen, have you finished
typing that report?
No, sorry, but I'll
have it for you tomorrow.
If you're too busy...
No, I can do it.
Okay, but we need it
the day after tomorrow.
Let's go to your house for once.
Don't worry about the chart,
I'll do it myself.
No, it's my project, too.
Okay, we'll go to your house.
No, we always go there.
Besides, my mom's having
company tonight.
So?
So she has to clean.
There's nowhere
For us
to work.
Okay, we'll go to my house.
But my mom isn't feeling well.
Forget it, simon.
Why can't we go out?
Give me a week,
I'll lose the weight.
Why are you
doing this?
Simon, you're the one
who told me
I was a fat lump.
I did?
Hey, luce--
Do you want to come
for fries?
I'd love to, but we're
going on a "family outing."
My parents are suddenly
interested in me.
Sorry.
Bye.
Okay, bye.
She can't control
some things--
Like her family--
So she tries
to control her body.
It's a classic case
of anorexia.
So where's
the moodiness
Withdrawn behavior
Obsessive exercise
And excessive use
of laxatives?
Erica, wake up!
Smell the coffee!
Look how thin
she is!
Some people are
naturally slim.
Nobody's that slim.
Tessa's skinny--
You don't call her
anorexic.
She's eating a chocolate bar.
So?
I've brought you some cookies.
Kathleen's favorite.
Mom, please.
I've heard a lot
about you, melanie.
You're kathleen's best friend.
You should bring your friends
home more often, dear.
Mom, we have a lot to do.
Oh, kathleen, work
isn't everything.
You should have
some fun, too.
Work, work, work--
that's all she ever does.
Just like
her father.
Mom, we have a deadline.
Why don't you
let me help you?
I used to be good in science.
We don't need help.
Fine.
I can take
a hint.
What are you staring at?
Nothing.
I told you
you should have eaten lunch.
You're so fat.
Thanks, mom.
Thanks, mom.
I've never
worked so hard
On a project
for a science fair.
Think of how much
we've learned.
Diet pills!
I can order
diet pills!
Alexa--
Those are bad for you.
But listen to this:
"no dieting,
no exercise.
Lose pounds in days."
Those are a scam
And they
don't work.
There-- she's eating.
So?
So, it proves
she's not anorexic.
50% of anorexics
are bulimic, too.
She's probably
both.
Bulimic?
Bulimia-- you binge
and then you barf.
You eat all you want
and never get fat?
That sounds okay to me.
Except it
doesn't work.
You ruin your stomach,
your throat
Your teeth--
Because of all the acids
throwing up causes.
It's really
disgusting, alexa.
I look forward
to addressing all staff...
Her diary is just a list
of what she's eaten.
She eats
hardly anything.
She must be starving.
That explains
why she's
so bitchy.
But it's been going on
for months.
Maybe you should
talk to her.
Yeah, right--
And tell her
I looked in her diary?
Well, bye.
Hi.
How are you
feeling?
Fine.
I finished
the project.
Um... Listen--
If you ever want to talk
About anything...
Like what?
I don't know-- anything.
Thank you, doctor melanie.
What are
those?
Never mind.
Laxatives?
But you haven't
eaten anything.
What are you doing
With
laxatives?
What do you think?
No doubt about it--
Jill is definitely
fatter than jack.
This experiment
could revolutionize
The way
our parents think.
Cheesies for breakfast,
chocolate for lunch.
Licorice
instead of liver.
Erica:
I was looking
at the other projects.
I think we have a good chance.
Heather:
I think we have the best one.
Erica:
We do.
Can you believe
Some people eat all
this junk at once?
And puke
11 times a day.
Just shift the bread
maybe an inch this way.
It looks great.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Kathleen--
Is the report
finished?
Not yet.
Are you too busy?
I'm not too busy,
and I want to do it.
Okay.
You should look around.
There are some
really great projects.
I'm sure--
But ours is the best.
It's almost
lunchtime.
Do you want
to go eat?
I'm not hungry.
Remember how hungry
you were last night?
I don't want to eat, okay?
You should go look
at heather and erica's project.
It's on eating disorders.
Fascinating.
That sure
looks good.
If your diet's
making you unhappy
Maybe it's
not worth it.
No!
It's lose weight
or lose simon.
Losing weight
for a guy?
That's
pretty dumb.
But you've been dieting, too.
Not really;
I'm maintaining-- for dance.
You see? That's how
rumors get started.
If all he cares about
is appearances
Then he's not worth
going out with.
See you guys
inside.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Okay, let's see
if the mike works.
One, two, three.
I'm sorry.
That's male.
This is... This is...
I think so.
I guess this...
No, this one's male.
Okay.
This is useless.
Do you guys
want help?
We also used
part of my old radio system
And arthur's homemade keyboard.
And this is our
robot kit, which we made
Out of toys
and computer parts.
Arthur:
Sometimes he has
a mind of his own.
The rate at which
a substance dissolves
Is affected by a
variety of factors.
For instance:
Stirring a solution
increased the rate
At which a solute
dissolved in a solvent.
Thank you.
We need
tighter controls
On factory pollution.
Right, there's...
We have to think
In the long run.
Also...
There also have
to be agreements
To stop acid rain.
Very good.
Well done, girls.
Thank you.
We did great.
"we"?
I'm sure we're going to win.
I forgot to tell him
about the ozone.
That's what I was
trying to tell him.
What will I do?
I have to win!
Relax.
It's not too late.
I can still tell him,
there's still time.
Mr. Raditch!
Mr. Raditch?
There's one
more thing.
It's about
the ozone layer.
By the year 2080
There will be
several major holes
In the outer surface
layer of the ozone.
Look at it--
it bubbles up.
Scooter:
Jack got the junk food
and he's still thin.
Jill got
the healthy food
And she
got fat.
Bartholomew:
We're onto
something big.
Junk food has clearly
been underrated.
I don't think
it's the food
That's making
jill fat.
What else
could it be?
Well, jack is a boy
and jill's a girl...
We know that.
And jill's been
getting bigger...
She's pregnant?
Yes.
I suggest you do the experiment
after the births.
I knew it was
too good to be true.
They're announcing
the results.
Did you look at heather
and erica's project?
I'm not interested in anyone
else's project, melanie.
Melanie:
Kathleen--
Why haven't you been eating?
What?
You haven't
been eating.
I'm on a diet, okay?
No, you're not.
You're starving
yourself.
You're not eating.
Melanie, what are talking about?
I read your diary.
You looked
in my private diary?
I shouldn't
have.
I can't believe you did that!
Kathleen, you have a problem.
Wrong-- you have the problem.
Reading
my private stuff?
How could you?
I hate you.
I can't believe
we were ever friends.
Kathleen!
Mind your own business!
Hello?
Can you
hear me?
Could I have your
attention, please?
The judging has been completed
And the totals
have been tabulated
And we have our results.
Third prize this year
at the degrassi science fair
Goes to arthur kobalewscuy and
yick yu for their robot project.
Second prize goes to vicki
freedland and vivian wong
For their project
on aqueous solutions.
And first prize goes to...
Heather and erica farrell
for their project
On eating disorders.
Honorable mentions also go
To kathleen mead
and to melanie brody
For their project
on urban pollution.
Kathleen, wait!
Leave me alone!
Kathleen...
If I'd remembered the ozone...
Kathleen, we got
an honorable mention.
We should have won.
I wanted to win.
We did our best.
That's not enough!
You don't understand.
I try so hard.
I try to make them proud.
I want them to be proud.
We should have won.
They could have been so proud.
They would have...
Kathleen!
What's wrong?
She's fainted.
Kathleen!
Kathleen?
What's happened?
She hasn't been eating.
Kathleen?
Kathleen, wake up.
Hello?
Alexa?
Simon, I won't
lose weight for you.
I like me the way I am.
I like me... I mean,
I like you the way you are, too.
Then why did you say I was fat?
I didn't.
I don't think
I did.
Make up your mind.
Can we
go out again?
As long as you accept me for me.
Sure.
Thank goodness.
Can I walk you
home tonight?
Yeah, I'd love that.
I know, and they won
third prize.
And this month's staff meeting
is indefinitely postponed...
I want you to go
see the nurse.
Miss avery,
I'm fine, honest.
It was nerves.
Kathleen, I insist.
And she's
expecting you.
Today.
Traitor!
Why did you tell her?
I was scared.
You're just jealous
because I have willpower.
I'm sorry about
your diary
But you have
a problem.
I do not!
Yes, you do.
You need help.
I don't need help.
And I don't have a problem.
Michael! No, no,
I'm glad you called.
We're just having dinner,
but I want to get this resolved.
Yeah... No, you're right,
absolutely.
Oh, by the way, I want
lynne at the meeting.
She's done a lot
of the research.
Okay.
I'll grab
an early flight
And a cab
downtown.
Righto.
Good-bye.
So-- how long
are you with us
this time?
Off again tomorrow, I'm afraid.
Oh... Great.
Father:
Look, I'm sorry.
You know that travel

( sarcastically ):
Part of the job?
A father and husband
who's never home.
Can I be excused?
But, kathleen, you've

doesn't work.
You ruin your stomach,
your throat
Your teeth--
Because of all the acids
throwing up causes.
It's really
disgusting, alexa.
I look forward
to addressing all staff...
Her diary is just a list
of what she's eaten.
She eats
hardly anything.
She must be starving.
That explains
why she's
so bitchy.
But it's been going on
for months.
Maybe you should
talk to her.
Yeah, right--
And tell her
I looked in her diary?
Well, bye.
Hi.
How are you
feeling?
Fine.
I finished
the project.
Um... Listen--
If you ever want to talk
About anything...
Like what?
I don't know-- anything.
Thank you, doctor melanie.
What are
those?
Never mind.
Laxatives?
But you haven't
eaten anything.
What are you doing
With
laxatives?
What do you think?
No doubt about it--
Jill is definitely
fatter than jack.
This experiment
could revolutionize
The way
our parents think.
Cheesies for breakfast,
chocolate for lunch.
Licorice
instead of liver.
Erica:
I was looking
at the other projects.
I think we have a good chance.
Heather:
I think we have the best one.
Erica:
We do.
Can you believe
Some people eat all
this junk at once?
And puke
11 times a day.
Just shift the bread
maybe an inch this way.
It looks great.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Kathleen--
Is the report
finished?
Not yet.
Are you too busy?
I'm not too busy,
and I want to do it.
Okay.
You should look around.
There are some
really great projects.
I'm sure--
But ours is the best.
It's almost
lunchtime.
Do you want
to go eat?
I'm not hungry.
Remember how hungry
you were last night?
I don't want to eat, okay?
You should go look
at heather and erica's project.
It's on eating disorders.
Fascinating.
That sure
looks good.
If your diet's
making you unhappy
Maybe it's
not worth it.
No!
It's lose weight
or lose simon.
Losing weight
for a guy?
That's
pretty dumb.
But you've been dieting, too.
Not really;
I'm maintaining-- for dance.
You see? That's how
rumors get started.
If all he cares about
is appearances
Then he's not worth
going out with.
See you guys
inside.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Okay, let's see
if the mike works.
One, two, three.
I'm sorry.
That's male.
This is... This is...
I think so.
I guess this...
No, this one's male.
Okay.
This is useless.
Do you guys
want help?
We also used
part of my old radio system
And arthur's homemade keyboard.
And this is our
robot kit, which we made
Out of toys
and computer parts.
Arthur:
Sometimes he has
a mind of his own.
The rate at which
a substance dissolves
Is affected by a
variety of factors.
For instance:
Stirring a solution
increased the rate
At which a solute
dissolved in a solvent.
Thank you.
We need
tighter controls
On factory pollution.
Right, there's...
We have to think
In the long run.
Also...
There also have
to be agreements
To stop acid rain.
Very good.
Well done, girls.
Thank you.
We did great.
"we"?
I'm sure we're going to win.
I forgot to tell him
about the ozone.
That's what I was
trying to tell him.
What will I do?
I have to win!
Relax.
It's not too late.
I can still tell him,
there's still time.
Mr. Raditch!
Mr. Raditch?
There's one
more thing.
It's about
the ozone layer.
By the year 2080
There will be
several major holes
In the outer surface
layer of the ozone.
Look at it--
it bubbles up.
Scooter:
Jack got the junk food
and he's still thin.
Jill got
the healthy food
And she
got fat.
Bartholomew:
We're onto
something big.
Junk food has clearly
been underrated.
I don't think
it's the food
That's making
jill fat.
What else
could it be?
Well, jack is a boy
and jill's a girl...
We know that.
And jill's been
getting bigger...
She's pregnant?
Yes.
I suggest you do the experiment
after the births.
I knew it was
too good to be true.
They're announcing
the results.
Did you look at heather
and erica's project?
I'm not interested in anyone
else's project, melanie.
Melanie:
Kathleen--
Why haven't you been eating?
What?
You haven't
been eating.
I'm on a diet, okay?
No, you're not.
You're starving
yourself.
You're not eating.
Melanie, what are talking about?
I read your diary.
You looked
in my private diary?
I shouldn't
have.
I can't believe you did that!
Kathleen, you have a problem.
Wrong-- you have the problem.
Reading
my private stuff?
How could you?
I hate you.
I can't believe
we were ever friends.
Kathleen!
Mind your own business!
Hello?
Can you
hear me?
Could I have your
attention, please?
The judging has been completed
And the totals
have been tabulated
And we have our results.
Third prize this year
at the degrassi science fair
Goes to arthur kobalewscuy and
yick yu for their robot project.
Second prize goes to vicki
freedland and vivian wong
For their project
on aqueous solutions.
And first prize goes to...
Heather and erica farrell
for their project
On eating disorders.
Honorable mentions also go
To kathleen mead
and to melanie brody
For their project
on urban pollution.
Kathleen, wait!
Leave me alone!
Kathleen...
If I'd remembered the ozone...
Kathleen, we got
an honorable mention.
We should have won.
I wanted to win.
We did our best.
That's not enough!
You don't understand.
I try so hard.
I try to make them proud.
I want them to be proud.
We should have won.
They could have been so proud.
They would have...
Kathleen!
What's wrong?
She's fainted.
Kathleen!
Kathleen?
What's happened?
She hasn't been eating.
Kathleen?
Kathleen, wake up.
Hello?
Alexa?
Simon, I won't
lose weight for you.
I like me the way I am.
I like me... I mean,
I like you the way you are, too.
Then why did you say I was fat?
I didn't.
I don't think
I did.
Make up your mind.
Can we
go out again?
As long as you accept me for me.
Sure.
Thank goodness.
Can I walk you
home tonight?
Yeah, I'd love that.
I know, and they won
third prize.
And this month's staff meeting
is indefinitely postponed...
I want you to go
see the nurse.
Miss avery,
I'm fine, honest.
It was nerves.
Kathleen, I insist.
And she's
expecting you.
Today.
Traitor!
Why did you tell her?
I was scared.
You're just jealous
because I have willpower.
I'm sorry about
your diary
But you have
a problem.
I do not!
Yes, you do.
You need help.
I don't need help.
And I don't have a problem.
