Degrassi High (1987–1991): Season 4, Episode 6 - Nobody's Perfect - full transcript

Kathleen's new boyfriend begins to abuse her physically.

Scott!

You're late.

Sorry-- I had to talk
to mr. Walfish

About a drama I'm in.

I hate it
when you're late.

No one does this to me.

Scott, please,
let me go.

You deserve it.

I'm sorry;
I won't do it again.

I promise.

Scott,
you're hurting me.



I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
to hurt you.

You know that,
don't you?

I love you.

I know.

I love you, too.

But soft, what light
through yonder window breaks.

It is the east,
and juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun,
and kill the envious moon

Who is already sick,
and pale with grief

That thou art, her maid,
far more fair than she.

Walfish:
That's how I felt

About shakespeare,
at your age, too

But it's exciting
when you get into it

Which I'm going to give luke

The opportunity to do.

Luke, you and... Kathleen...

Can prepare
this passage
for next class.

Luke:
Before the whole class?

Yes.

I can't memorize
this stuff.

Read from
the text.

In the second half
we'll hear from joey.

What?

Walfish:
Joey, you
read with...

I'll work with joey.

Walfish:
Okay, caitlin.

Please, I'd like
each pair

To rehearse
beforehand

And really understand
these words.

Thanks, everybody.

But soft, what light
through yonder
window breaks?

Yeah, yeah.

It is the east, and
kathleen is the sun.

Announcer:
Attention, students--

The cast list for this year's
play has been posted

On the drama board.

I'll die if I don't
make the play.

Don't get
your hopes up.

The good parts
go to seniors.

Maybe, maybe not.

I think I did
a very good audition.

Mr. Walfish applauded.

Do you want us
to come?

No, thanks,
I'd rather go alone.

Good luck--
break an arm.

Leg, diana.

I made it!

Jennifer, I made it.

After four years
of trying

I finally made it.

I didn't
get in.

Hi.

Boy:
I didn't
I'd get it.

I didn't make it.

I'm sorry.

Neither did I.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry;
we've still got
each other.

But I really wanted
to be in the play.

Boy:
I got the part!

Here, this will
cheer you up.

Look what I got you.

For me?

It's for our
one-month anniversary.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Here--

Let me put it on you.

It's also to say sorry

For... You know.

That's okay.

I did sort of
deserve it.

Erica:
You ready?

Yes.

Weren't you
meeting simon?

Yes, later.

Spike.

I think emma found
a little boyfriend

At the day care
center.

Oh, really?

It's definitely love.

She keeps throwing
things at him.

Nice t-shirt.

Oh...

Thanks.

I really like them.

Yeah, me, too.

Their last album
was excellent.

Um...

Um... Listen...

Would you like
to go out sometime?

Oh... I can't.

I'm sort of busy, evenings.

Oh, right, the baby.

Well, you can't blame
a man for trying.

Do you want to
go out with him?

I don't know.

What do you know
about him?

His name's patrick...

He's in grade 11

And...

He likes my t-shirt.

Liz:
Spike, that's it?

♪ everybody wants something
they'll never give up ♪

♪ everybody wants something... ♪

Caitlin:
That's really neat.

♪ take your money... ♪

Joey, when did you
want to get together

To work for
walfish's class?

Look, caitlin,
I don't need
practice, okay?

Mr. Walfish says
we should.

Okay, how about today
after school?

I... Can't today.

Sorry.

Going out with
"clod," right?

Claude.

What about tomorrow,
after school?

Look, I've really
got to go, okay?

Hey, dudes,
how's it going?

Look, I talked
to mr. White.

He says we can use
the editing equipment.

Melanie:
Kathleen will be crushed
if she doesn't get a part.

Diana:
She will; she won
the drama award last year.

Yeah, but there are
older people here.

There she is.

Did you make it?

No.

I'm sorry.

But look what scott gave me.

Wow, that's
beautiful!

Melanie:
Don't worry
about the play.

You'll make it
next year.

I hope so.

Kathleen.

Come on.

Let's sit
over there.

You know,
she always does
exactly what he says.

Announcer:
Fellow students, the caretaking
staff has complained

About the garbage in the quad.

Here.

They're doing a play

At the community center.

I could try out.

No, don't.

If you made it,
we'd hardly ever
see each other.

But I love acting.

The truth is... I don't want
to see you embarrass yourself.

I didn't want to say it

But it's not just
because you're a "niner."

I saw your audition.

You're not a very good actress.

I'm sorry.

I won the drama prize
in junior high.

Yeah, but this
is high school.

I had to tell you,
for your own good.

It's not the end
of the world.

I love you.

Announcer:
There will be a camera club
meeting in room 218

Tonight after school.

All members please attend.

Thank you.

Hello, there.

Hi.

Look, I've
been thinking:

How about
if after school--

Not today,
I have band practice--

But tomorrow,
we'll go for a walk.

I'll take you back in time

To pick up the baby.

Um...

Okay... Sure.

That's wonderful, then.

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Okay.

See you.

Spike:
Bye.

What did he want
this time?

He asked me out again,
after school tomorrow.

I couldn't think
of an excuse.

You know,
he seems really nice.

Spike,
remember that guy

That asked you out
this summer?

Oh, him.

He only asked you out

Because you had a kid,
and he thought
you'd do it.

Teacher:
Okay, that's it
for today.

Are we going to
rehearse the scene now?

I've got something
to do.

But we have
to rehearse;

Mr. Walfish said so.

Who's going to care?

I am.

I want to do well
on this.

Luke, please--

I don't want
to look stupid.

We'll look stupid
no matter what.

I can't do
that sissy stuff.

If you don't practice

I'll tell mr. Walfish
diana wrote your paper.

Luke:
That's blackmail.

Kathleen:
Exactly.

How about tomorrow,
maybe, then?

Fine.

After school?

All right.

Announcer:
And last night, a victory
for our tigers.

They employed their unique
double-a strategy--

Annihilation and abuse.

We beat the bears, 42 to 27...

Who was the guy?

What guy?

The guy in the hall.

Just luke.

We're assigned
to work together.

Looked like you
enjoyed it.

Scott, don't.

You're my girlfriend.

Don't flirt
with other guys!

Please, let me go.

I don't even like him.

Honest!

Don't talk to him.

But we have
to practice.

I don't care!

Get out of it!

Stop, please.

You're hurting me!

Hi, guys.

We were just...

Fooling around.

I got to go.

Kathleen.

Kathleen!

Scott:
Hello?

Hi, scott?

They're beautiful.

Caitlin:
Joey.

Are we still on

To practice
the dialogue
for walfish's class?

Okay, if we have to.

It won't take long.

We can work
in the resource room.

Announcer:
A reminder about
tonight's meeting...

See you later.

Luke.

Where are you going?

We have to practice.

Look, don't have a bird.

I'm going
to my locker first.

Meet me in
the drama room.

Yeah, yeah.

Announcer:
Matthew gimbals

Please come down
to the office...

Hey, luke,
let's play
basketball.

All right--
hold on a second.

Hi.

Hi.

Tonight, you got
to come to dinner.

Sure, but I have
some homework
to do first--

Geography.

How long will that take?

Half an hour.

Okay, I'll meet you

At the car
in half an hour.

Remember, I love you.

Kathleen.

Kathleen!...

Listen,
about yesterday...

Scott was acting
kind of weird,
don't you think?

He just got
carried away.

It looked
kind of violent.

We were
just arguing.

He gets jealous;
he's got a temper.

That's all.

Nobody's perfect.

Guys don't deal
with their emotions

The way we do.

He has no right
to hurt her.

It didn't
really hurt, and
I deserved it.

If I didn't
make him mad...

What are you
talking about?

Nothing gives a guy
the right to hit you.

You don't understand.

He needs me.

I can change him.

Scott is
the best thing

That's ever
happened to me.

He makes me
feel special.

He loves me.

If he hurts you,
he doesn't love you.

Announcer:
Buses are now boarding

For tonight's game
against the trojans.

Come on, football fans.

Let's lead our team
to victory.

But soft, what light

Through yonder
window breaks?

It is the east,
and juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun,
and kill the envious moon

Who is already sick,
and pale with grief

That thou, her maid,
far for-- more...

Am I bad, or what?

No, you're not.

That thou,
her maid...

Joey.

I want to talk.

Okay.

We can still
be friends, right?

I mean, we had fun
together, right?

Yeah.

So...

That's all I wanted to say.

Okay.

That thou

Her maid, art far more fair
than she.

You know

It's kind of like old times

Just you and me.

Caitlin,
what happened?

What did I do wrong?

Nothing.

Was it my clothes,
my personality?

Do you think
I'm a loser?

No.

Joey, it's not you.

It's me.

I'm different from
how I used to be.

I can be
different, too.

Tell me
what you want.

You want
foreign films?

I'll go see
foreign films.

You want politics,
I'll talk politics.

No.

Joey, it's over.

I just want you
to understand

That it's
nobody's fault.

I'm sorry.

Dost thou love me?

I know thou wilt say "ay"

And I will take thy word

Yet if thou swear'st

Thou mayst prove false.

Walfish:
Oh, I didn't expect
to find anybody here.

Luke and I are going to rehearse
romeo and juliet.

Oh, great!

Great.

Well, don't mind me.

Mr. Walfish?

Yes.

Was my audition really awful?

No, it was very good.

I was really
impressed.

So why didn't I get a part?

There are only so many
roles to go around.

Do you know
how many students

Have more seniority
than you?

But from what I saw,
you'll get your chance

Soon enough.

Who knows?
Maybe next year.

But whatever you do,
don't give up.

You're very good,
kathleen.

Have a good
rehearsal.

Patrick:
So anyway

I moved here
with my parents

A year ago,
from dublin.

Oh, yeah.

This country
is beautiful

But sometimes
I miss the greenness
of ireland.

Right.

Listen to me doing
all the talking.

Tell me
about yourself.

There's nothing
to tell.

I don't believe that.

What?

I don't like to be touched.

There go my plans
for giving you a massage.

It's a joke.

I knew that.

What would you like?

Um...
Ice cream sandwich.

Two ice cream
sandwiches, please.

I'll take care
of the money.

I'll pay
for my own.

No, let me pay.

No, I said I'd pay for my own.

All right, it's up to you.

And while you're at it,
you can pay for mine, too.

Good, you're smiling.

You know, it's hard
talking to somebody

Who's wound up
tight as a spring.

Look, let's start
all over again.

How do you do?

My name's patrick.

Hello.

I'm spike.

Actually,
it's christine.

Christine.

Wherefore art thou, romeo?

Deny thy father
and refuse thy name, or...

You're late.

Yeah, I know--
I got into something.

Sorry.

That's really great.

I said I'm sorry,
didn't I?

Look, we only have
a few minutes.

Can we rehearse,
please?

Sure, go ahead.

Page 89.

Start.

So romeo would

Were he not
romeo called...

...Thy name, which is
no part of thee

Take all myself.

That's kind of dirty,
isn't it?

It's not dirty, it's drama.

Read.

Um...

Uh...

I take thee
at thy word.

Call me but love.

My name, dear saint

Is hateful to myself

Because it is

An enemy to thee.

Had I it written

I would tear the word.

Kathleen:
My ears have not yet drunk

A hundred words of
thy tongue's uttering

Yet I know the sound.

Kathleen.

We were just rehearsing.

You're luke, right?

Yeah.

Do you mind?

Me and kathleen
have to talk.

Okay, sure,
if kathleen doesn't mind.

I think we've probably
rehearsed enough.

All right,
you said it.

Thanks a lot, buddy.

No problem.

You lied to me.

Only because I knew
you'd get mad.

If you knew that,
why did you do it?

I want to do well on this.

Mr. Walfish told us
to practice.

I've given you
so much

And this is
the thanks I get?

Scott, please

This is so important to me.

It's acting.

I told you,
you can't act.

I can.

Mr. Walfish said
I was good.

Are you kidding?

He said to keep
auditioning.

And I say you stunk!

You're pathetic!

You're lucky
I go out with you.

Nobody else
would want you.

Scott, please,
let me go!

You'll leave
when I say so.

Please, don't hurt me.

Scott, don't!

No!

You're useless.

You're garbage.

Hey, liz, hi!

So how'd it go?

I had such
a great time.

We just talked
and talked.

We like all sorts
of the same stuff.

It was amazing.

Now you'll ask me
to baby-sit.

Funny you should
mention that.

He asked me
to a movie
on Saturday.

I'm so happy for you.

Announcer:
More bad news
for our football team.

Humiliation was the name
of the game as the trojans...

Kathleen.

Better luck next time.

I'm really sorry
about yesterday.

You really hurt me.

I know,
but you lied to me.

You know I love you.

If you love me,
why do you hurt me?

I don't mean that stuff.

I can't help it.

I fixed it for you.

I want you
to wear it again.

Where are you going?

Come back here.

Kathleen,
I need you.

I'll never hurt you
again, I swear.
