Hey, joey.
Hey, joey.



Check out this car
I'm getting.

Imagine me coming
to school in that.

The chicks will
go crazy.

I can see them now.

"joey... Joey!"

Right.

It costs $3,000.

I worked all summer--
I've got savings.

$3,000?!

No.

$2,000?

No.

$1,000?

I got about 75 bucks.

Snake:
You mean you worked
all summer

And you only saved $75?

I had expenses.

Yeah,
movies;

Games, junk food.

So?

So you don't have money
to buy the car.

I'll find a way.

I need this car.

Something's got to help
me through special ed.

It'll be okay.

Oh, right.

I hear the soccer
team is calling.

And the football team
for you?

Hey, what can
I say?

Let's stop here.

I don't want us to
be seen together yet.

You'll talk to michelle
this morning?

Maybe.

I've got to do it
when the time is right.

She's pretty sensitive.

Just get it over with.

I want to be with you.

I want to be with you, too.

That's the way it
will be this year.

Sign in
every morning.

Sign out at the
end of each day.

Great.

I don't like this
either

But you had a
serious attendance

And behavioral
problem last year.

Don't mess up.

No other school
will want you.

Don't worry,
mr. Raditch.

I'll be good.

I'm a changed man.

I hope so.

Sorry.

So did they
let you back?

Yeah, on probation.

What's this?

My dad says
if I mess up again

He'll throw me out.

I want to go put up
this picture of penny.

Penny?

My new girlfriend.

You never had
an old girlfriend.

Nick:
You expect us to
believe this babe

Would go out
with you?

Go out and go
to bed with me.

Oh, sure,
we believe you.

He probably found
the picture.

It happened.

I'm a changed man.

I'm sure
you are.

Boy on p.A. System:
I'm your new student president,
bronco.

I'd like to introduce
your new student council.

Michelle:
Hi, nancy.

Bryant!

Hi!

I missed you
so much.

Hey, please
don't cry.

I'm sorry.

I'm just so glad to see you.

Um... Michelle...

What?

So how was the trip?

Boring.

It was nice of my mom
to pay for the visit

But I only thought
about you.

You said you'd write.

Hey, it was only a month.

Way too long.

I got back Friday.

I tried to call you
all weekend.

Where were you?

I was...

Hi!

Hi, how are you?

How was your trip?

Fine.

Fine?

Boring.

Tell me.

Heather:
Action!

L.D., this is it--
day one, the eleventh grade.

See what you're missing?

Exciting, wow!

At least we don't
have the same homeroom.

We're taking
geography here.

The maps are beautiful.

Hi!

Say hi to l.D.

Hi, l.D.

Hi, l.D.

Where is she?

Keep rolling.

Oh, no, more cancer?

She's in remission.

Lucy:
But her dad
decided

Life was too short
not to do what you want

So they bought a boat

And are sailing
down the islands.

That's fantastic.

What about school?

Correspondence courses.

I'm so
jealous.

Lucy:
Join the club.

I'm sending her tapes

So she can keep up
with us here

And she's sending
tapes

So I can
be jealous.

They put condom machines

In the girls'
bathroom--

Boys' and girls'
bathroom--

In every school in the city.

Alexa:
Oh, my goodness.

Simon:
Why in the girls'?

All:
Simon!

Oh, erica,
come back in again.

L.D. Is going
to love this.

Okay, wait,
wait, wait.

Get a close-up.

Action!

Tabi:
I don't
believe you.

Why not?

♪ dwayne and no one
sitting in a... ♪

Hey, I showed you
the picture.

You stole it.

I'll have you...

Hey, look who's
in our class.

Welcome to
special ed--

"sped," as we call it.

We'll have lots of fun.

Look, dwayne,
we're not exactly buddies

But can't we let
bygones be bygones?

I should forget what
you said about 8d?

Or the ape imitations?

Or when you
started a fight

And I got suspended?

I've done some dumb things.

But we're in
the same class now.

Can't we at least
try to get along?

You know what?

Cockroach has a point.

Who needs trouble?

Exactly.

So... Truce?

Sure.

Great.

All right.

There's one born
every minute.

Get out
of my seat.

Boy:
Take a walk.

Dwayne:
No, come on.

Teacher:
Good morning.

I'm mrs. Perry

For those of you
who don't know me.

I'll be teaching
this class.

This is carmelita,
my assistant.

Hi, everybody.

It will be an
interesting year.

We're together for
one period every day.

I hope it's going to be
a productive time.

Either carmelita or I
will be coming around

To give you individual help
in your areas of weakness.

Come and see us anytime.

Man:
Attention all staff--

There will be a faculty meeting
tomorrow during lunch.

All staff members must attend.

You guys want
to go for pizza?

Sure.

Don't you have
to go to work?

Not till
Thursday.

We can't go.

Why?

Football tryouts
are tonight.

Already?

Simon:
There's a game
in two weeks.

We'll go
for coffee.

We'll talk about
interesting stuff

Like clothes
and men.

Bye.

You'll
call me
tonight?

Yeah, sure.

Lucy:
Okay,
here's one.

Okay, ready?

Here we are at a typical
degrassi girls' washroom

But with one
crucial difference--

Ta-da! A condom machine.

Now, you take
your money...

Insert it here

Turn the knob

And you get a condom here.

Ain't technology grand?

I can tell

These machines will
go over big here.

Nick:
Come on, hurry up.

Come on.

All right!

How nice of
the school board

To provide us
with entertainment.

This is way better

Than that shaving cream
scam we pulled.

Have you ever seen one
of these things explode

On someone's head?

It's great.

Niner shower.

All right, man,
let's go.

Snake:
You can't
afford it.

Snake, I need
this car.

It's the only way
I'll get through this year.

How will you
pay for it?

Cockroach shower!

Yes!

I'm working for
my uncle tony.

I get paid
and I get tips.

I'll save.

I love this car.

You guys want to see it?

Is it far?

It's down
the street.

Are you serious?
Yeah.

What the...?

Let's go.

What a jerk!

Isn't she a beaut?

Oh, wow!

It even has
a tape deck.

Most studly.

Why, thank you.

Oh, man, all it needs
is fuzzy dice.

Is this
the original
paint?

You came back.

Oh, yeah.

I had a guy
in this morning.

He was pretty
interested.

Did he put
any money down?

No.

Wellthen I can
put money down.

Is $75 okay?

I'd need $300, $400.

Okay, I'll go get $75

And tomorrow after school
I'll bring the rest.

Joey.

I'll borrow
from my parents.

Sure you can
do this?

I am not going
to lose this car.

Okay, son, you got
yourself a deal.

All right.

Yes!

Where will you
get $3,000?

I can borrow
from my parents.

Will they loan
you the money?

I've got them wrapped
around my finger.

This car is going
to be mine.

Nice car.

It's very nice.

Hi, I'm nancy kramer.

This is sexual-awareness month
at degrassi.

You'll have noticed the condom
machines in the washrooms.

These machines are for your use.

Condoms are a fact of life.

There he is.

Oh, I'll see
you later.

Hi.

Hi-- you didn't
call last night.

I got home late.

Have I done
something wrong?

No... Why?

I don't know, I just sense...

You know, insecure old me.

How were tryouts?

You know, the usual.

My parents
said right now
they're broke

So they can't
lend me the money.

Could you borrow
from someone else?

Sorry, I'm broke.

Me, too.

How do you raise
money fast?

Wheels:
Could you sell something?

I don't have anything.

What about a
stunt or a dare?

Sure.

But what?

When my brother
was in high school

There was a guy
who walked through
the "caf" naked.

He made
a lot of money

From people who
bet he wouldn't.

Didn't he get caught?

No, it was during
a staff meeting.

Man:
This is a reminder to faculty

That there is a meeting at lunch
in the staff room.

Bring your homeroom class lists.

Everyone must attend.

A sign.

You'll do it?

Hey, I've got to.

Come on, let's go
hustle some bets.

But do you think
it will work?

Of course, trust me.

Come on.

Man:
Congratulations to players
who passed the first test.

Excuse me.

Check the list...

Hey, you guys.

Hey, dwayne.

Anyone who has information

Regarding a vandalized
condom machine

Report to me immediately.

You guys?

Of course, man,
check these out.

Dwayne--

How long are
you keeping

That fake
picture?

It's not fake.

This is reality.

Get some counseling.

I don't care if you
don't believe me.

Oh, penny.
I love you,
baby.

I love you.

What are we doing
to jeremiah today?

Let's glue
his locker.

Did you bring glue?

Uh... No.

Oh, way to go.

Erica:
I hope she likes
the tape.

How did the first
shot come out?

Boys:
Ladies, ladies!
How are you doing?

Girls:
Hi.

This gentleman
plans to walk
through the caf

Today at lunch.

Oh.
So?

Wearing only a hat.

That is disgusting.

What?

Like you'd
really do it.

I will...
And not get caught.

There's no way.

What? You don't
believe me?

You wouldn't dare.

Care to bet on it?

Forget it.

Joey:
Why not?

If I don't do it,
like you say

I'll pay you.

If he does do it,
you get to laugh.

Thanks.

So, what do you say?

Wearing only a hat.

Only a hat.

Erica:
All the way
across?

All the way across.

A walk;

Not a run, not a sprint.

Trust me.

Who's going to
hold the money?

I will.

It's an
honest face.

Well?

$5.00.

Okay,
me, too.

Heather:
I guess so,
but it's silly.

Joey:
All right!

You got it?

I'll just
take it all.

For $5 I'll walk

From this end
to that end.

Simon:
No way.

Why would I want
to see him naked?

What do you say?

$5?

Whatever.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'll do it.

For a measly $5...

You can see joey
walk through the
cafeteria...

Totally naked.

What do
you say?

You must be joking.

All the way
across the caf?

Right!

I'm in.

I'll see you
in the caf.

I'm sorry, really.

Are you going to keep
this up all year?

No, we've got lots
of things planned.

Shh-shh-shh.

Perry:
Good morning.

By now you've all seen
the new condom machines.

I want you take
these kits home;

Read them, discuss them
with your parents.

We have another
program this year

Called the sexual-
awareness program.

That got
your attention.

Our first speakers will
talk to you about aids.

Girl:
Oh, come on.

Perry:
Dwayne?

I don't know
about others

But I'm tired hearing
about aids all the time.

It's not like we're
one of those guys.

Theriouthly.

I can't believe
I'm still hearing this.

After everything in the media,
you have the same attitudes?

Exactly-- haven't they
heard of overdoing it?

What's it got to do with us?

I don't know anyone
who has aids.

Girl:
Does anyone here know
someone who's got it?

A friend of
my mom's has it.

He's probably a homo.

He got it from
a needle, actually.

It's scary for homos
and druggies

And those hemo...

Hemophiliacs, dwayne.

Them, too.

But not for us.

Hopefully, by the time
this unit's over

We'll see some changed
attitudes around here.

I don't know about
these aids people.

If I hear any
more about it

I'm going
to be sick.

My dad says queers
deserve aids.

It's not natural,
you know?

Seriously.

Guys, guess what
I just heard.

The cockroach says he'll walk
through the cafeteria naked.

People are betting
he won't.

He'll get caught
for sure.

Exactly.

There is a staff meeting.

Let's throw food.

Yeah.

No, no, no.

Don't you think it's unhygienic
to walk naked near food?

Unhygienic?

Dwayne:
Probably against
school policy.

Oh!

Unhygienic?

Unhygienic?

Come on.

Wait up,
guys.

What's unhygienic?

Joey! Joey! Joey!
Joey! Joey! Joey!

Joey:
It's cold
in here.

How much money
do we got, snake?

$314-- look at this.

That's more
than enough.

That's all
I could find.

Where did you
get that?

Lost and found.

You guys should see
the cafeteria.

It's packed with people.

It should be.

Look at this.

How much?

$314.

Whoo-hoo-hoo.

Not bad.

Sexy.

Let's go.

It is
very sexy.

Joey! Joey! Joey!
Joey! Joey!

Snake:
Shh.

All right.
Okay.

Now, keep quiet.

Snake,
why are you
whispering?

They're
screaming.

That's right.

They are loud.

Wheels:
There's more people
now than before.

Crowd:
Joey! Joey! Joey!

Clothes?

Yeah, right.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Joey's clothes.

Look, you don't
have to do this.

I've got to do it.

If I don't, I lose my car,
and I'll owe everybody.

Joey! Joey!
Joey!

Joey! Joey! Joey!

It'll work.

Yes, dwayne?

Sorry to interrupt, but could
I talk to mr. Raditch?

It's important.

Just a moment.

Raditch:
Yes, dwayne?

Joey! Joey! Joey!

Let's do it
already.

Ready?

Yeah.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Crowd:
Joey! Joey! Joey!

Joey's coat!

Joey! Joey! Joey!

Okay.

Showtime.

Joey! Joey! Joey!

Girl:
Oh, no,
it's raditch.

Mr. Jeremiah--

Come with me,
please.

Joey! Joey! Joey!

Here's $20,
you're out of here.

One at a time.

Can I have
my money?

Back of
the line.

I must have
order.

Okay, you're
out of here.

Tabi:
Did you see the
cockroach's face?

That was the
funniest thing.

Nick:
You got him good.

Hold the applause.

Nick and tabi:
Joey! Joey! Joey!

It was them.

They told raditch!

That's $20.

Snake.

Do I look like
god to you?

Joey! Joey! Joey!

Man:
Hey, dwayne,
is that you?

Yeah?

There was
a phone call
for you.

Some chick
called penny.

Penny?

They didn't believe
she exists.

Girl:
Hello?

Penny?

Yes?

Hi, it's me-- dwayne.

I was going to call you.

Dwayne, it's so horrible.

What's wrong?

I don't know what
I'm going to do.

What's wrong?

I don't know why
this is happening.

Will you calm down
and tell me what's up?

Hello?

Do you remember me telling you
about bob, my old boyfriend?

Yeah?

A few weeks ago
he applied to the forces.

There was a medical,
they took some blood.

He tested hiv-positive.

Hiv? What do you mean?

( sobbing: )
don't you know?

It's... Aids.

I went to the doctor,
and I'm positive, too.

You have to get tested.

I don't know how it happened--
neither does bob.

I am not a bad person, dwayne.

Oh, god, I'm so scared...

This episode of degrassi is
a dramatic story about aids.

We often think aids
won't affect us

That you only get aids
if you're gay or use drugs.

But anyone who has unprotected
sex or shoots drugs

Can get infected.

We can't afford to be ignorant

Or to think
it won't happen to us.

Aids kills,
and there's no known cure

Although there are treatments

For your physical
and mental health.

If you're concerned about aids

Talk to a school nurse,
a health teacher, your doctor

Or any adult you feel
comfortable and safe with.

If you think you may
be infected, get help.

Getting tested for hiv
can be very stressful.

Don't go through it alone.

Go to a community health center
or a family-planning center

Where people can answer
your questions.

For more information
about aids and hiv testing

Call:

You're not alone-- there
are people who want to help.
