Degrassi High (1987–1991): Season 5, Episode 3 - Loyalties - full transcript

Caitlin discovers her father is seeing another woman.

Michelle:
Okay, how's this?

Acid rain is caused
by the emission
of certain gases

Mainly sulfur dioxides
and nitrogen oxides

From vehicle exhausts,
homes, factories, and
power stations.

What, no good?

Uh... No,
no, it's great.

Too dry, right?

I hate presentations.

I get so nervous.

Me, too.

Maybe we should refuse to do it.



Right.

What could they do

Except flunk us and expel us
so we can't go to university.

So we won't get good jobs.

Exactly-- we'll live on
the street and beg for change.

We'll sleep under the viaduct
and freeze to death.

Okay, okay, you persuaded me.

I'll keep working on this.

Snake:
50% of emissions
fall in dry form.

30% come down
as precipitation.

The rest is blown
to other areas.

Trees in quebec,
vermont, and germany
are dying.

Many lakes in scandinavia
and canada are so acidic

They won't support
fish and other life.

So acid rain is

A serious problem

And it's up to
all of us to do
something about it.

Thank you!

Very good work.

Okay, tomorrow
we'll hear from
mark and tim.

Okay?

Class dismissed.

Michelle:
I think she liked it

Even that part
where we messed up.

You changed
the overhead, so
she didn't notice.

Thanks for being
my partner.

No problem,
really, anytime.

Hi, wheels.

Hi.

So, he likes
michelle.

Oh, right,
very funny!

So?

What's wrong
with michelle?

Nothing.

She's sweet,
she's gentle

And she's smart.

Have you ever really
looked at her?

She is so pretty.

So ask her out.

She's not going
with b.L.T. Anymore.

I can't.

I like her too much.

That's why
you ask her out.

I always mess it up
when I like a girl.

Hey, you guys

Want a ride?

Sure.
Sure.

Come on.

So have you heard?

Snake likes michelle.

Snake:
I do not!

Announce it on the p.A.
Why don't you?

Attention, students,
snake has the hots...

A restaurant guide?

It's my parents' anniversary.

I want to take them out.

How long have they
been married?

20 years.

20 years!

Oh, that's
so romantic.

Can you imagine being
married for that long?

Are you joking?

I can't even get a date.

Loser!
Loser!

I want it to be nice--

Someplace romantic,
so they won't argue.

All they do lately
is argue.

About what?

Everything.

My dad didn't get the
vice-principalship... Again.

Ouch! Your mom is already
a vice-principal.

Exactly.

Maya:
I'm finally
organized.

My mom got taken
to the bistro.

She said it was very romantic.

Brilliant--
that was their
favorite restaurant.

Is it expensive?

I can ask.

Or we could check
on the way home.

Great, let's go!

Bye, guys.

Man on p.A.:
Attention all football players.

Practice commences promptly
in half an hour on the field.

Thank you.

Alexa:
I'm sorry
you guys broke up.

Oh, I'm not.

Breaking up with bryant
was the best thing

That could have happened.

Cindy:
Bryant!

I feel for him, though.

What's her name
again-- bambi?

Cindy.

Right.

She doesn't look too bright.

Cindy's okay.

But only okay...
Average, even.

You talk to her?

It's hard not to.

B.L.T. And simon
are best friends.

I'd better go.

Simon is waiting.

Wait!

I got some days off work.

Let's do something tonight.

Simon and I are going
to the movies

After the game.

Oh, right.

That's okay-- I need
to study, anyway.

Why don't you come with us?

You wouldn't mind?

Of course not.

We're seeing return to sender.

That's supposed to be good!

It's playing near my apartment.

Let's go from my place.

Sure.

Bye.

Does she have to come with us?

She's been out with us
a kazillion times

Since they broke up.

She's such a downer.

I'd be a downer too

If you were
cheating on me...

Which you'd never do.

Right?

Oh, yeah.

B.L.T.:
Guys, have we
got news!

My uncle got
four free tickets

To the savages
concert tonight

And he's giving them to us.

Oh, wow!

No way! I love the savages!

We've got second
row center seats.

Come to my place
tonight

At 7:00, okay?

Coach:
Okay, let's go, bryant.

And don't be late.

The savages-- oh, wow!

Oh, no... What about michelle?

She'll understand.

She loves the savages.

That's not the point.

Imagine this:

"michelle, we can't
go out tonight.

We're going out with
b.L.T. And cindy."

Maybe you better
make something up.

What am I going
to do?

You have to tell
her something.

Come on, baby, come on!

Did I get this straight?

From now on, you'll only
date girls you don't like?

No!

That's what you said.

You don't
understand!

Snake, she seems
to like you.

You think so?

Joey:
Come on!

Please?

I can't ask her.

She's always
with alexa and simon.

I won't ask to speak
to her alone.

It's got to be
casual, spontaneous.

Your mom lends
you her car, right?

Yeah, so?

You could casually
pick up michelle

Going to school.

You just happen
to drive by.

She lives in the
opposite direction.

So you were at
your grandmother's.

My grandmother
lives in montreal.

Snake, do we have
to spell it out?

All right!

It's about time!

Let's go!

Here it is.

Wow!

Sure looks classy.

I think
I can afford it.

I mean, it is
a special occasion.

True.

Let's make the reservation.

Okay.

This is perfect.

This is great.

Hey... Isn't that your dad?

What?

Yeah, it is!

Don't let him
see us.

It'll ruin the surprise.

Who's the lady?

I don't know.

Maya:
They seem
pretty friendly.

Caitlin:
Yeah, I know.

Maybe it's his secretary.

He doesn't have a secretary.

An old friend?

Maybe.

I got to get out of here.

Hello?

Alexa:
Michelle? Hi.

Where are you guys?

Aren't we going to a movie?

That's why I'm calling.

I forgot-- aunt helen
invited us for dinner.

Sorry.

Oh... Well, that's okay.

Maybe we could go tomorrow...
If you're free?

Sure.

So see you at school?

Yeah, see you.

Bye.

Radio announcer:
Big show in town tonight!

The savages will be beating
their drums around 8:00.

Here's a track from their latest
disk, on kraz-y radio.

Dad:
I'm home!

Mom:
Hi, honey.

How was your day?

Fine, and yours?

Fine-- the same as usual.

Hi, gorgeous.

Hi.

I called this afternoon.

They said you were out.

Did they page me?

I was in the
resource center.

They said
they did
page you.

You didn't go out at all?

Not even for lunch or anything?

No, I guess I was too busy.

Oh, well, these things happen.

Natural and spontaneous.

Michelle!

Would you care to
accompany me to a movie?

No, that's too formal.

Yo, michelle!

How about a date
with me and some popcorn?

No.

Michelle, will you please
go out with me?

Act natural and spontaneous.

Michelle!

Would you care to
accompany me to a movie?

Wrong.

Hi, michelle?

Hi!

Michelle, I thought
it was you.

Uh... I was visiting
my grandma.

You want a ride?

Sure, thanks.

I didn't know
you had a car.

Uh...

It's my mom's.

Is there something in my hair?

Uh... No, no, it's fine!

Great, in fact.

Shouldn't we be going?

Right, right!

Oops!

Okay, just a sec.

Oops, again.

All right.

Ready for takeoff?

I'm pushing!

Thanks for the ride.

No problem-- anytime.

I mean, when I have the car.

Thanks again.

Hi.

Girl:
Hi, what's up?

So, did you
ask her?

Both:
Snake!

Guys, I'll ask her.

Give me a break.

I can do it.

Yeah...

I can do it.

That was the best
concert in my life.

They're amazing.

When they smashed
the guitar--

I loved that.

And when
the lead singer...

Hi, guys!

Are we going out tonight?

Sure!

I don't know.

I'm broke
after last night.

Ten bucks for food.

This shirt was $15.

You went to
the savages
concert?

Um...

You, too?

Michelle,
I can explain.

You said you were
going to your aunt's.

I'm sorry,
but...

If you don't want to see me,
just tell me.

No, it wasn't
like that.

We were going to go,
but cindy's uncle got us

These free
tickets and...

Cindy?

You went with cindy?

Bryant, too,
I suppose.

Great, thanks a lot.

I thought we were friends.

We are friends.

I didn't tell you so
I wouldn't hurt you.

So you lied.

That's
logical.

Go play with bambi,
or whatever her name is.

How generous!

There's not only you--
I've got a life, too!

Could have fooled me.

You never do anything
without simon.

That's what you think.

See if we go out
with you again!

I don't care!

I don't
need traitors

For boyfriends or best friends.

He is having an affair?

He told you?

He didn't have to.

He told my mom
he was at school
all day yesterday.

He said he didn't
go out at all.

He lied to her, to me.

You don't know it's an affair.

You saw what happened.

You saw the way they kissed.

You don't think
they're bowling partners.

Well...

Maya!

Look, all I'm
trying to say is

Don't jump
to conclusions.

Why don't you
talk to him?

I can't even look at him.

Come on,
caitlin--

He's your dad!

Give him a chance
to explain.

So tonight's the big night--
20 years!

Do people still have sex
after 20 years of marriage?

What kind of a dumb
question is that?

Man:
Attention, students,
school jackets are in

And are available
through the student council.

Don't be seen unless you're
wearing the official jacket.

W... Would you like to go
for some pizza?

Or to a movie
or something...

T... Tonight...

With me?

Sure, why not?

Really?

Yeah.

Uh... Great!

All right!

I'll pick you up at 6:30?

Fine.

Everybody take
your seats, please.

All right.

Good.

I mean, great.

Teacher:
Settle down.

Settle down.

Can we have
quiet, please?

Joey:
Way to go, stud man!

I can't believe
I asked her.

I can't believe
she said yes.

How could she resist
those baby blues, man?

Well,
good luck

Getting
home, guys.

No problem.

No problem, man!

The car will start.

Well, I won't
push it again.

You won't
have to, man.

Let's go.

Man, you're lucky!

Hi, mom.

Hi.

You're home
early.

I'm making a special dinner.

Won't be for a while, though.

Your father said
he had to work late.

Right.

Oh, honey,
I'm sorry.

It hasn't been fun
around here recently.

Don't blame your father.

A lot is my fault.

I've been
so busy at work

I haven't been
here for him.

It's been tough
for him recently.

He's had a lot
on his plate.

Beautiful flowers
for a beautiful lady.

Daring, they're wonderful!

Thank you.

Happy anniversary,
sweetheart.

Why don't you
get some glasses

While I open
the champagne?

I thought you had to work late.

That's what you were
supposed to think.

Hi, gorgeous.

Hi.

Tonight I'm taking us all out

To dinner.

Where should we go?

I don't know.

It's been so long

Since we've been
out to dinner.

How about le bistro?

Mom:
Oh, what a
wonderful ea!

It's been ages
since we've been there.

I don't know.

It's gone downhill.

How do you know, dad?

Been there lately?

No, no-- friends have told me.

I know we can find
someplace better.

Let's think.

You guys go alone.

It's your
anniversary.

You don't want me
tagging along.

No, caitlin, come.

No, I'm tired.

I have work to do.

I'll just
microwave
something.

You're sure?

Yes.

Don't worry abo me.

Have fun.

Well...
Here's to 20 years.

And more
of the same.

Have I done something wrong?

No, why?

You're sort of quiet.

What, we have to talk?

No, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't be here.

Oh, I don't
mean you...

I just mean...

I've got a lot on my mind.

B.L.T., right?

Why would I be
thinking about him?

Well, you did go out with him
for a long time...

That's because it took me
that long to realize

He was a jerk.

And today I realized

My best friend
is a jerk, too.

Why should I be surprised?

I should know by now that
life is full of surprises.

Look, it's not that bad.

Oh, no? How do you know?

Look, I'm sorry.

I know you're upset.

I'm not upset--
I'm fine, just fine!

Why can't people get it
through their thick heads

That I'm perfectly fine?

Ten minutes
into the date

And I had her crying.

Ten minutes?

You're good!

Joey...

No, no, he's right.

I mess up fast.

Forget it-- no more dating.

I'll join a monastery.

I'll work with lepers.

We have lots in common.

Snake.

Oh, boy.

Try it now!

Joey:
Hang on a sec.

Look, um...

I'm sorry for upsetting
you yesterday.

Don't be sorry.

I'm sorry.

I wrecked your evening.

You didn't wreck it.

It was just, uh...

Really different.

When I got home,
I did a lot of thinking.

I've been bottling
a lot of stuff up.

I won't be ready to date

For a while.

Right.

But when I am,
maybe we can try again

If you still want.

Sure.

So, uh...

I didn't mess up?

No, not at all.

You were great.

Joey:
Okay, try it now.

I'll see you.

Joey:
Okay, hang on
a sec.

Okay,
try it now?

I didn't mess up.
