Diana!
Happy birthday!

Oh, thanks!

Sweet sixteen.

Yeah.

I organized things
with diana's mom.

Great, and we
got the pop.

And we made
the cake.

You think diana doesn't know
about the party?

I'm pretty sure.

I'm bringing
my own surprise.

What?

If I told you,
it wouldn't be a surprise.

Shh...
Here she comes.

Thanks a lot.

Diana:
What?

Did you see...
How's it
going?

Did you do
your homework?

Are we still going
to the movies tonight?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Great.

No extensions, alex.

But I have
this family thin

On the weekend,
and it's not quite done yet.

I'm sure your family
will excuse you.

Alex, you've
had a month

And I haven't seen an outline

Or your
rough draft.

Right.

I forgot about
that essay.

You got all weekend.

No,
I don't.

I'm going fishing with my dad.

Fishing-- how exciting, huh?

I like fishing...
So I can't play poker tonight.

Why don't you hand it in late?

So you lose a couple marks.

My marks are slipping.

My parents will restrict
my social life

Which will mean no tessa.

No, I got
to do well.

So, no poker for me tonight.

Poker?

Can I play?

Sure, my parents
are going away.

It's party time.

Cool! I'll be there.

I thought he thought
we were nerds.

Do you want to do
something tonight?

I'm going over to luke's
to play poker.

Oh, yeah, right.

Why don't
you come, too?

He doesn't really like me.

He doesn't know you.

I can't show up

Without being invited, yick.

Mr. Walfish:
I have your outlines
and rough drafts.

Your work is very encouraging.

Mr. Webster--

Well done,
once again.

Also, I want
to remind you

That your final essays
are due back on Monday.

You lose a letter grade
every day that it's late.

Hey, it could be worse--
it could be moby dick.

Yes, mr. Raditch.

Excuse me, mr. Walfish.

Students, as you know,
recently there have been

Some drug-related
incidents at degrassi.

Accordingly, we are conducting

Random locker checks,
so students

With lockers
in the north corridor

Please go
to them now.

Man:
All right, degrassi,
it's sports wrap-up time.

Our boys' basketball team

Was sensational-- two for two!

Hey!

Hey-- clean as a whistle.

Could arthur play
poker with us?

We need four.

No, we don't,
this isn't bridge.

It's fun with more people.

The guy's a nerd.

No, he isn't.

I wish you two
would get along.

Wait a minute,
the guy is rich, right?

I bet he's never
played poker before.

I don't know.

All right, he can come.

Ah, let's get the stuff.

Let's go.

What do you want
to do tonight?

Hi!

I am so excited
about tonight.

I might be a little late.

You said you'd help me
get everything ready.

I've got my counseling
session, I forgot.

Oh, right.

How's counseling going?

Shh!

It's not a big deal.

Lots of people get counseling.

I just don't want people
to think I'm crazy.

You are crazy!

No one will think
that you're crazy.

Hey, yick,
come on in, man.

I brought
supplies.

Great.

Man, I can't believe
somebody stole my dope.

They care
about your health.

You shouldn't
be smoking that stuff.

Give me a break.

Where's your parents' liquor?

They locked it and they gave me
this big lecture.

We have
to clean
up later.

Oh, and no cigarettes.

( mimicking
his mother: )
"smoke stinks."

Bummer!

Tonight's going
to be real exciting.

I'll get it.

Tell joey
to park
in the back.

Pull it tighter, maya.

Higher?

No, tighter, tighter.

I got a hat
for you, maya.

Stick your chin up.

Must be neat living

With your brother
and his wife.

It's okay.

It's diana!

Oh, just drop it.

Did I make it
in time?

Yes, get inside.

It's only kathleen.

Thanks.

Father:
Alex, don't
stay up late.

We're leaving
at dawn.

Don't worry, papa.

I'll wake you
up at 6:00.

Oh, boy!

Time to get cracking.

Hi, come on in!

I don't want to be late.

Don't worry.

Somehow I pictured
my 16th birthday

A little
more romantic--

Maybe a date
with keannu reeves.

Surprise!

All:
Surprise!

Welcome to
the diana economopolos

Birthday surprise
sleep-over party.

Here's your pajamas.

My mom was
in on this?

I can't believe it.

You guys,
this is so sweet.

Come on,
birthday girl!

Here it comes.

Happy birthday!

Burned myself.

Here you go,
blow out the candles.

Wow!

You know,
we could really use

Some guys like these
at degrassi.

I kind of think
joey's kind of cute.

Gross! Diana get
some taste lessons.

We're not all

As experienced
as you are, caitlin.

I think yick has nice eyes.

But let's face it...
Really attractive.

Maya...

Uh-huh?

Later on...

If you, like,
get married or something

Can you...

Can I have sex?

Yeah!

Sure.

I may not be able
to feel it as well

But lots of people
with spina bifida

Have babies and everything.

I'll just
have to make

My men work a little harder.

Woo-hoo!

All right, maya!

All right,
I see your nickel

And raise you
another nickel.

How about lucy?

Now, she is a babe.

I fold.

Lucy's all right,
but I take alison.

Caitlin.

Ice princess.

I think she's nice.

And you know
a lot about chicks.

Just bet,
all right?

I see your nickel...

It's two nickels now.

Okay, and I raise you one more.

I'm out.

Too bad maya's
in a wheelchair.

She's got really nice eyes.

You guys
ever notice?

No.

I call.

Nice hand!

All right--
thank you very much!

Joey:
Yeah, okay.

Hey, why don't we make
this an all-nighter?

Cool-- I'll call my mom.

Why not? I won't have to listen
to wheels snoring.

It must be weird having him

Live with
you, huh?

Tell me about it.

I'm used to having some privacy.

Tell me again,
does three of a kind

Beat a
full house?

No.

Anyways...

No.

Joey:
We're going to
do well tonight.

I found some more pillows.

You guys want a hand?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, ready
and up!

Watch out,
turn around.

Thanks, thanks, guys.

It's fun having
a sleep-over again.

Remember when we used
to play truth or dare?

Oh, yeah!

Melanie:
I can't believe
that, diana.

That's awful.

I was so embarrassed.

Okay, maya--

Okay.

Truth, dare,
double dare,
promise to repeat.

Okay, truth.

Have you ever tried drugs?

No!

Diana:
Are you
kidding?

Would anyone here like to?

Oh, my...

Where did you get those?

I have connections.

Radio announcer:
It's 1:05, and you're
listening to...

Sister ( in greek ):
Stamata canis polis thorivo!

Then boro ma kamitho!

Sorry.

( in hushed voice ):
Put a pillow over your head.

Luke:
All right!
I love this game.

You guys are
just so generous.

What do you have
up your sleeve?

My sleeves
are rolled up.

I feel my luck is changing.

Why not up the ante a little?

Start with...
I don't know, a dime?

Sure, if you want to.

Yeah,
fine by me.

Deal me out,
I'll order a pizza.

What do you guys
want on it?

Both:
Hey, no anchovies.

Seriously, I hate those things.

I fold.

Okay, arthur...
I see your dime

And I raise you
another dime.

I see you.

All right, I call.

Read 'em and weep.

Three queens!

So lucky.

I've just got three fives
and a couple of twos.

Hey, he's got a full house.

Wait a minute.

Oh, yeah?

Oh...

So I win?

All right,
artie!

All right.

I might be
getting the
hang of this.

Great!

There's $10,
$15 in there.

Okay, my mom's asleep.

What if it makes
us weird?

It's no
big deal.

How do
you know?

I smoked
lots of times

When I dated scott.

For the
birthday girl.

You just smoke it
like a cigarette?

Uh-huh.

Caitlin?

No, thanks.

Of course, little
miss perfection--

Or are you
chicken?

No, I just don't want to.

Fine, all the more
for the rest of us.

Maya?

Um...

Maya doesn't have
to have any, either.

No, I want to, just once.

Are you okay?

Yeah...

But I don't
want more.

Kathleen:
Melanie?

Kathleen, you little lawbreaker.

I didn't
even know.

There are lots of things
people don't know about me.

Look!

Raise you
a quarter.

Same.

Another quarter.

Same again.

A dollar.

I fold!

Thank you,
thank you very much.

That's
the pizza.

I'll get it-- my treat.

I don't believe that!

What did you have?

Not much,
a pair of tens.

Let's see what he had.

He had nothing!

Ah, he was bluffing.

Oh, man!

I don't believe that.

I got took by a nerd!

What's so funny?

You were
bluffing!

Weren't you?

No, look.

Both:
Sucker!

Luke:
Easy for you
guys to laugh--

You weren't
in on it.

That's pretty
good bluffing, arthur.

"does three of a kind
beat a full house?"

You guys are
so gullible.

Take my
whole box.

I'm clean,
you want my shirt?

Yeah, yeah.

Ow!

Ow, it's burning me.

Okay.

It's all done.

Here, I'll wash
the ashtray.

I feel really weird.

You'll wake your mom.

Oh, don't worry.

She sleeps
through thunderstorms.

What are you
supposed to feel like?

I don't feel anything.

Kathleen, are you okay?

Yes, why?

Just seemed kind of quiet.

I am not, I'm fine.

Okay.

Onwards.

And when they opened the door...

It was eating them!

Oh, man, you almost
made me choke, man!

Oh, man-- you're
going to kill us
like that, man.

I'll choke on my pizza!

Give me that.

Hold on,
I got a better one.

Better than mine?

Pretty close.

Check this out.

One night,
this guy and this girl

Decided to go swimming
in the quarry.

Was she
good-looking?

Yeah, she was good-looking.

I still don't feel anything.

What do you
feel like?

I feel sort of like

Light and heavy,
all at the same time.

This isn't
fair.

It's my birthday--
why don't I feel anything?

Mmm... Is there any cake left?

I've got
the munchies.

I don't
know why.

Okay, melanie,
your turn.

Truth, dare, double dare,
promise to repeat.

Uhm... Truth!

Um, have you ever read
anyone's diary?

Yes.

Um...

Do tell--
whose?

Kathleen's, of course!

I found out
she had
anorexia

And she got counseling.

Melanie!

I don't see
what the big deal is.

You had
anorexia

Your mom is
an alcoholic

And your boyfriend beat you up.

Most people
would need
counseling

For even one
of those things.

It's not your secret to tell.

Guys, it's getting
kind of late--

I think we should
get some sleep.

Diana:
I still don't
feel anything.

She didn't mean it,
you know.

It's just because
she was stoned.

I don't care.

I didn't want
anyone to know.

We mostly knew, anyway.

That's not the point.

She had no right
to say anything.

Well, no one thinks
any less of you.

I mean, you beat anorexia.

It takes guts
to go to counseling.

Woman on radio:
For all of you who are
awake out there

This is coney hatch,
with their hit

"to feel the feeling again,"
on clov, fm-96--

Commercial-free radio.

♪ woke with the feeling
like my ship sailed in ♪

♪ where it came from
I don't know ♪

♪ I can't account
for all the sleepless nights ♪

♪ where do the days all go? ♪

So, how was "night
of the living nerds?"

Pretty good, actually

Except arthur won
all my money.

Arthur!

All:
Hey, joey!

He's one serious
poker dude.

Alex:
Hey, guys.

Luke:
How was fishing?

Did you catch anything?

Yeah, an essay
about this long.

We never went fishing.

I worked on my essay.

At least
my dad
wasn't mad.

So, how was poker?

Though
cool! This guy

Won
everything.

Now, now, it's not
whether you win or lose--

It's how much you win.

Yeah, right.

Hey, um, up for
a game this weekend?

Sure-- your parents
going away again?

No, but since
we cleaned up

Dad said you can
come over again.

I'll be lucky
this time.

Just watch out
for this guy--

He's a shark.

So I guess
I'm invited?

Of course! He wants
to win his money back.

Thanks again-- that was
the best birthday ever.

That was
so much fun.

At least,
until the dope.

Yeah,
really.

I never felt anything.

Kathleen
and melanie
sure did.

But I don't think
they had much fun.

Kathleen
was so upset.

Man:
Good morning, degrassi,
anyone interested in...

I want to apologize
for Friday.

I didn't mean
to say those things.

I guess the marijuana
made me talkative.

It wasn't me.

You're my best friend.

All I mean is,
I am really, really sorry.

So am I.
